The good news: the Dave Matthews Band will visit Dallas on September 11 -- only a month and a half down the road. The bad news: this will be among the last times ANYONE will get to witness them live for a long while, since they're taking a one-year tour break in 2011. It's a well-deserved hiatus, seeing as they sold a staggering 11,230,696 tickets last decade.They must be doing SOMETHING right, huh? Even after all these years?
Speaking of "after all these years", today's track is lifted from Listener Supported, which was recorded back in 1999. It's a quintessential DMB track, showcasing the talents of all its members during its closing five-minute jam session:
Boyd Tinsley on violin.
The late Leroi Moore on sax.
Carter Beauford on drums.
Only guitar god Timmy Reynolds, who has toured with the band the last few years, is missing.
Lots of people can't stand DMB. OK, I sorta get it...they've had their share of clunker albums, and maybe you're not into the whole 20+ minute jam session thing. But I just CANNOT fathom why anyone WOULDN'T love the last five minutes of this song:
