Official Original DMB Release Notes:
Golden Gate Park Benefit Concert Available for Preorder

9.12.2004 Golden Gate Park, San Francisco is the second release in the DMB Live Trax series. The 3 CD set took place in the Polo Fields of Golden Gate Park and was a benefit concert for Bay Area Charities. From the moment the band hit the stage, the concert immediately became one of the highlights of Dave Matthews Band's career. Carlos Santana sits in as a special guest for several songs, including the recently written Sugar Will. The 3 CD set also features two additional recently written songs, Joyride and Hello Again. The Golden Gate Park concert is available as a 3 CD set and as a digital download in MP3 and FLAC formats.

All preorders of the Golden Gate Park CD will receive a free Golden Gate park event sticker and be automatically entered into a contest for a chance to win a framed, autographed Golden Gate Park commemorative poster. Just in time for the holidays, we are also offering several special bundles with the preorder. Click here to preorder the Golden Gate Park concert.

The color hex code for the Live Trax Vol. 2 ribbon is #ce3a2e.
