From the DMB FAQ:
"Trax is a Charlottesville, Virginia nightclub located near the University of Virginia along West Main Street. It was founded in the early 1980s,
and has changed hands (and, consequently, names) several times since. The building was constructed in the early 1930s and has served
many purposes over the years including a National Guard Armory, an auto shop, a boxing ring, and a warehouse. When it changed hands in
the early mid-1990s, it was briefly known as "Crossroads." Bands of all sizes of popularity have performed at Trax over the years, notably
including 10,000 Maniacs, The Band, The Black Crowes, Blues Traveler, George Clinton, Cracker, David Gray, G. Love and Special Sauce,
Ben Harper, Arlo Guthrie, The Neville Brothers, Phish, Public Enemy, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Leon Redbone, Squirrel Nut Zippers and Warren
Zevon.
Dave Matthews Band played there every Tuesday in the early 1990s, and it was there that they established their popularity in Charlottesville
and among UVa students. The last show that Dave Matthews Band (at least, several members of Dave Matthews Band) performed at Trax was
their April 29th, 1996 release concert for Crash, their second major-label release.
The venue was demolished in 2002 in order to make room for the expanding UVA hospital complex.
