Waiting to be Liberated... added on 7/30/2010
In keeping with the tradition at the start of a tour, we have updated the list of songs that have been missing from sets for over 1000 days.
The ground rules:
1) These are full band songs only, played in full (yes, we know that can be subjective, but we try hard to be consistent). Songs that were never played full band to begin with, such as Waste, Hold Me Down, and Funny How Time Slips Away, are not included.

2) Dave Solo and Dave & Tim versions do not count as returns because they are not full band. The "Last Show" dates refer to the last known full band version. This is, after all, a full band tour. Full band is three or more members of the current touring band.

3) We include only songs that have been regular features during one or more tours. Songs such as Love of My Life, Eyes of the World, Sweet Caroline, and so on are not counted.

4) Studio songs that were played live are counted no matter what. The four songs confirmed finished in the studio but never played live—Dreams of Our Fathers, Trouble With You, Write a Song, and Little Red Bird (the latter has been played, but not by DMB)—are not included.

5) Songs that have evolved into newer songs, such as #36, Any Noise, and Leave Me Praying, are not included.

6) Songs that have only ever been played with a particular guest, such as Love of My Life and Road, are not included.

Days since are as of July 30, 2010.

List of Liberations added on 7/30/2010
So far in 2010, DMB has played twelve songs that they haven't played in over 1000 days, breaking 2006's previous record of ten. We thought this would be a good time to compile a list of every such "liberation" the band has done in its history. See the most recent "Waiting to Be Liberated" post for the "ground rules."

In total, 33 different songs have been liberated. The Maker has been liberated the most, at three times. #40, Christmas Song, Cry Freedom, Digging a Ditch, The Dreaming Tree, Exodus, JTR, The Last Stop, Pay for What You Get, So Right, and Spoon have all been liberated twice. Of the songs that have ever been liberated, six are currently back to having not been played for 1000 days or more: #34, Christmas Song, Exodus, Fool to Think, The Last Stop, and Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard.

DMB management announced yesterday that the next installment in the Live Trax series, Volume 18, will be the 6.4.96 show in Virginia Beach. This show kicked off the American leg of the 1996 Summer Tour in support of Crash. Most noteworthy about this release is that it contains one of only two full-band performances of Deed Is Done (all other versions except 10.4.95 were Dave & Tim performances). This will also be the only full copy of the show, as the sources currently in circulation are missing All Along the Watchtower. We have updated our list of full live releases to include this new show.



The following is a table of all of DMB's (and related) official full releases, including upcoming ones. We will continue to update it as other shows are announced.

Looking at You is a cover added on 6/24/2010
More than thirteen years since its only two performances, we finally have some solid information about the obscure Dave and Tim song known as Looking at You: it turns out to be cover of Scott Fitzgerald's 1977 song "If I Had Words." While Dave improvised nearly all of the lyrics except the first line (the original comprises just one verse), the melody and that first line are identical. Dave and Tim's cover appears to be more closely based on the version sung in the 1995 film Babe, as this version would have been much less obscure in 1997 than a then-twenty-year-old U.K. reggae/pop song, and the general mood of the version in Babe is more in line with Dave and Tim's.

We have changed the song's name in our database accordingly, and it is now listed as a cover song. Thanks to Brian Siek for bringing this to our attention.
Down by the Bayou added on 6/8/2010
DMB released its oldest live recording to date this afternoon, a December 1992 show from The Bayou in Washington, DC. Just like the previous DMBlive release from The Bayou (4.10.93), there was no previous record of this show. A post in the minarets.net listserv archive makes mention of a show at the Bayou around Christmas 1992, but the poster did not recall the specific date, and he only had the printed setlist from the show's second set as a reference point. We have updated our list of full live releases to include this new show.



The following is a table of all of DMB's (and related) official full releases, including upcoming ones. We will continue to update it as other shows are announced.

Liberation List Massacre added on 5/29/2010
The tour gets off to a liberating start with the song JTR being played for the first time since 9.3.06 and Hello Again for the first time since 9.10.05. Busted Stuff and its album-mate Kit Kat Jam were also played full band for the first time since 5.18.02 and 7.30.03, respectively. This Busted Stuff marks the third-longest return of a song in DMB history, behind #34 (3.23.937.9.05) and Me and Julio (11.17.925.5.01).
New Itunes app features DMBAlmanac data added on 5/18/2010





Setlistics has just released a DMB version of their iPhone/iPod Touch app called DMBfanatic which uses official DMBAlmanac data for your mobile dmb tour statistical information needs.

The app features quick access to historical setlists based on song/tour/date/venue/city/state as well as some interesting song statistics that really come in handy when pulled up during a show.

Setlistics has assured us they will be refining the app and building in more improvements on an ongoing basis. Enjoy!
Not a fire... not Leave Me Praying... added on 3/30/2010
After releasing its first live show nearly thirteen years ago in an effort to undercut the rampant bootlegging industry, Dave Matthews Band's management today announced the milestone fiftieth full release. The July 6, 1997, show, from the band's first headlining performance at Shoreline Amphitheatre, will be released as Live Trax Vol. 17 on May 4, 2010.

Several aspects of this show make it a noteworthy choice. Perhaps the most obvious is that it is the first release of a show from 1997 (the 6.16.97 show was reportedly considered for release many years ago but was eventually scrapped). The 1997 Summer Tour had two distinct phases. The first half of the tour featured Béla Fleck and the Flecktones as the opener, while Fleck and others sat in and highlighted those shows; the second half featured Los Lobos as the opening act, and members of the band sat in highlighting those shows. This show is from latter phase of the tour and features contributions from guitarist David Hidalgo and saxophonist Steve Berlin. Management has given several recent hints that a 1997 release was possible: they released the Typical Situation from 7.5.97 and have included the Say Goodbye from the same night on the most recent Warehouse 5/8 compilation.

Another notable characteristic of this show is that it will be the first release of Don't Drink the Water's predecessor, Leave Me Praying. Some people had suspected that this ubiquitous-in-1997 song was somehow the reason for the band's seeming refusal to release a show from 1997; however, if that was true, the band and/or their management have obviously overcome any apprehension they once felt about releasing the song (granted this is all wild speculation, but if that sounds too far-fetched, note that an early version of #41 has yet to be released while several shows and other single songs from Spring/Summer 1995 have been released and all have managed to dodge that song).

Live Trax 17 will also be the first release of the Daniel Lanois cover For the Beauty of Wynona, joining The Maker and Still Water to complete the trifecta of officially-released Lanois cover songs. It is worth noting that Leave Me Praying and For the Beauty of Wynona were songs #2 and #3 on the list of those played the most without an official release. In order to knock two more off the list that have been played more than 10 times in one release, they would need to release a Dave and Tim 1999 show and hit If I Had a Boat and Wild Horses (find out which shows here).


From the band's website:
For the 17th release in the DMB Live Trax series, we chose the Shoreline show from 1997 which is also the first release from that year. This was the band’s third performance at Shoreline Amphitheatre, opened south of San Francisco in 1986 in cooperation with promoter Bill Graham who designed the venue space to resemble the Grateful Dead’s Steal Your Face image.

Highlights of the summer 97 Shoreline show include the debut release of Leave Me Praying (which later evolves into Don’t Drink the Water) and the cover of Daniel Lanois’ For The Beauty of Wynona featuring Los Lobos’ Steve Berlin on sax and David Hidalgo on electric guitar. Jimi Thing features remarkable horn play by LeRoi and Steve Berlin in a musical conversation with Carter’s drums. Hidalgo’s guitar solo in Lie In Our Graves is also worth mention, lending a special sweetness to the song.


We encourage you to show the band that you support their releasing significant shows such as this by purchasing the album. The pre-order ends on April 30.

Last but not least, the following is a chart of songs that are known to have been played ten or more times but have yet to see a full official release:
#SongTimes PlayedNotes
1Sleep to Dream Her46 full band; 1 Dave & Tim; 2 Dave soloThis is the only Everyday song that has not been officially released (except for Dreams of Our Fathers, which has never been played live). This song missed release by being cut from the Folsom Field setlist on 7.11.01

Waiting to be Liberated... added on 3/14/2010
In keeping with the tradition at the start of a tour, we have updated the list of songs that have been missing from sets for over 1000 days.
The ground rules:
1) These are full band songs only, played in full (yes, we know that can be subjective, but we try hard to be consistent). Songs that were never played full band to begin with, such as Waste and Hold Me Down, are not included.

2) Dave Solo and Dave & Tim versions do not count as returns because they are not full band. The "Last Show" dates refer to the last known full band version. This is, after all, a full band tour. Full band is three or more members of the current touring band.

3) We include only songs that have been regular features during one or more tours. Songs such as Love of My Life, Eyes of the World, Me and Julio, and so on are not counted.

4) Studio songs that were played live are counted no matter what. The four songs confirmed finished in the studio but never played live—Dreams of Our Fathers (released officially), Trouble With You, Write a Song, (released officially as bonus tracks), and Monkey Man (not released, but known by fans as well as they know most other songs)—are not included.

Days since are as of March 14, 2010.

New Live Tracks (Not Trax) added on 2/25/2010
DMB management has released a five-song live EP on DMBlive.com. The Haiti Relief Fund EP and a complementary (not complimentary) t-shirt were released on January 29, 2010, and all proceeds go to the relief fund. Of the five tracks, none had been released more than five times. Butterfly is being released for only the second time, and the first time as a Dave solo performance. This is the sixth release for both a newer song, Out of My Hands, and an older song, Cry Freedom (listed as 7.31.03, though actually from 7.31.04). Finally, it is the third release for Dive In. The fifth track is a version of Lying in the Hands of God that was previously released as an iTunes-exclusive bonus track to Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King.

In addition to these five tracks, three more download-only tracks have been released recently on various compilations. The first is the first released Dave and Tim version of The Dreaming Tree from Richmond's 2008 Last Chance For Change concert. It is part of the iTunes-exclusive By the People: For the People soundtrack, released on January 12, 2010. This is only the sixth full release for the song.

On January 19, 2010, MusicForRelief.org released a nine-song, download-only compilation to raise money for Haiti. DMB offered up a full-length live version of Typical Situation from 7.5.97. Outside of humanitarian reasons, this release is significant even though it is the 15th live release of the song: with the exception of an edited version of Crash Into Me (maybe), this is the first released song from the Summer 1997 Tour. It is the first shred of proof that a very localized fire did not, in fact, wipe out ONLY the 1997 Summer Tour side of the DMB show archive room (no such news on Spring - Summer 1998 yet — we'll keep you updated).

Rounding out the not-so-randomly timed, but random releases is the 1.22.10 performance of Hank Williams's Alone and Forsaken from the Hope For Haiti Now telethon featuring Dave and Neil Young. This was the first time the song was performed, so naturally it is the first release for the song.

The most recently announced full show for release is 12.12.09 - Live in Las Vegas, the last night of Dave and Tim's three-night stand at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. This release contains the first Dave & Tim releases of six Big Whiskey songs: Squirm, Alligator Pie, Funny the Way It Is, Shake Me Like Monkey, Lying in the Hands of God, and You & Me, as well as the older song Loving Wings. It is the first live release of any type for Little Red Bird and both of Tim's solos, Kundalini Bonfire and his cover of Led Zeppelin's Kashmir.

This release includes a bonus disc entitled Double Down if you pre-order, either 4 songs or 8 songs depending on your avenue. The tracks are taken from the previous two nights' shows. This will be the first Dave & Tim release of Rye Whiskey, #27, Spaceman and Time Bomb. It also contains the first release of the Tim Reynolds original The Wayfarer. This is the first pre-order bonus disc since the 2007 Summer Tour Sampler that came with the Piedmont Park release.

As of right now, Live in Las Vegas will be the 48th full show released by the band. They are closing in on the 50 show milestone; however, the way DMBlive releases are released with little notification, it is possible that by the time this comes out on February 9th, it could be the 49th or even the 50th release. The following is a table of all of DMB's (and related) official full releases, including upcoming ones. We will update it as other shows are announced.

New confirmed shows from DMB's early days added on 2/8/2010
Since the beginning of the site in 2001, we have shied away from adding too many shows from 1991 that don't have any information to support the fact that they actually happened or were planned. There are probably a hundred shows that happened that we do not have listed. Today, we added nine new shows and updated information for two more from 1991 and 1992. This information was culled from the University of Virginia student newspaper archives by one of our admins, Dan.

Unfortunately there isn't any actual song information, but most of these shows are new to any show databases on the Internet. It is possible that one or more of these shows ended up being canceled, all we can tell is that they were planned. Here is a list of what was compiled:

8.31.91 Trax
9.11.91 The Jazz Club (Dave Solo)
9.20.91 Trax
10.8.91 Trax
10.15.91 Trax
1.21.92 (added Will and the Bushmen opener)
1.30.92 Trax (Habitat For Humanity benefit)
2.14.92 Trax
2.26.92 Trax (Alpha Omega Pi's Battle of the Bands)
4.17.92 Trax
9.12.92 (updated venue - Live Arts)
