And when they drag the lake there's nothing left at alladded on 5/1/2024
This afternoon, DMB management announced a video webcast livestream for the European Tour finale in Lisbon, Portugal, taking place this coming Sunday, May 5. The show will stream free of charge on the VOLTA platform. From their website: "VOLTA is a pioneering technology and entertainment company on a mission to revolutionize the way people experience their favorite events, sports, and entertainment."

With the announcement, this was the right time to put together a list of all of the DMB-related shows that have had a video webcast livestream. While there are 50+ webcast shows, they mostly fall into the event category. Usually it's a festival like Farm Aid - separate from the tour and likely to be Dave solo or with Tim, or one that fits into the tour like Bonnaroo or Rothbury Festival. Some were sessions directly for an online platform such as AOL. Considering how common webcasts are even from other artists in DMB's same management group, it's actually pretty uncommon for DMB to webcast a concert from a standard tour. Fans have relied on other fans' livestreams on Facebook and reconstructed fan-shot footage from YouTube creators like ChesterCopperpot5 and Concertvids34.

Here is a look at some of the notable webcasts over the years:

Announced on November 2, 1998, the first DMB video webcast was the 1998 Fall Tour finale from Chicago's United Center on 12.19.98. It was streamed for free on rollingstone.com, and the band sold t-shirts on the old www.dmband.com website. The show featured memorable guest appearances by Victor Wooten, Maceo Parker, and Mitch Rutman, and would be released on CD three years later.

The next major webcasts were hosted by America Online. Though it's not considered part of the 2003 Summer Tour proper, it's difficult not to objectively call the Central Park concert on 9.24.03 one of the peaks of DMB's career with a career-spanning setlist and performance that matched the event. The Stand Up release show from Roseland Ballroom on 5.9.05 was a chance for all fans to see live debuts of four songs from the new album. 8.12.06 is what we believe was the final AOL broadcast and was the final "normal" show stream for almost a decade. This night 2 in West Palm Beach might be more known as one of the rougher nights on Dave's voice.

Fall 2007 brought the "World's Loudest Pep Rally," a contest by AT&T promoting their text message services. Students from all Division I universities voted, and West Point won. The final advertised tally was over 3 million total votes. DMB played two shows on the West Point campus on 11.14 and 11.15.07 that were also streamed on AT&T's website. Highlights from these shows include Robert Randolph guesting, the longest performance of The Dreaming Tree on record, an early look at Snow Outside in the form of Round and Round, Butch Taylor's last public appearance before stepping away from the band, and an electric energy that still comes through on the tapes today.

Several concerts were streamed as part of festivals over the next few years including a few that were scheduled as part of the tour such as Rothbury, Mile High Music Festival, and Farm Aid, which became an annual Dave & Tim gig starting in 2008. DMB also tried their first and only paid webcast during this time. Before the 2010 Fall Tour, DMB management announced that they would be taking 2011 off from touring. Eventually deciding to celebrate the band's 20th anniversary, they took to the stage for a series of festival weekends called the DMB Caravan. The final originally-scheduled weekend of the Caravan tour was The Gorge, and the webcasts of these shows were hosted on livedownloads.com as a $35.00 package. Because streams were sold through the band, it seemed like this might be the start of more consistent offerings, but the next standard show webcast didn't come for several more years.

Since those shows, there have only been a handful of random full show video streams. On 7.15.14, yahoo.com webcast DMB's full show from Jacksonville, which is the only "2 Sets" show to be webcast. Then in 2018, three full Saturday night concerts from Camden, SPAC, and The Gorge were webcast on youtube.com via dmblivestream.com - the latter two pairing with the then–brand new SiriusXM Friday Night Concert Series. Highlights of these shows are a JTR liberation and what is currently the final complete performance of The Last Stop, with Hamilton de Holanda guesting on bandolim. The most recent streamed "normal" show was 7.20.19 in Bristow, VA, also on YouTube, and was the third consecutive show that was impacted by weather - this time a lightning storm forced the band off the stage and fans to shelter five songs into the set.

This Sunday in Lisbon will be the first proper tour show to be webcast since that night. With a Summer Tour right in front of us, hopefully this kicks off an era of more regular DMB webcasts. The show is scheduled to begin at 3:00 PM EDT, and you can sign up for the webcast at www.volta.live.

Here is a list of every known DMB live video webcast (additional thanks to Copperpot for the review).
