Dave Mathews took the stage with buddy Tim Reynolds to record an amazing live album which brings out their individual musical talents. Tim Reynolds uses his guitar as if it were an extention of his body to create sounds that replace the normal drum beats, bass lines, saxaphone notes, and fiddle riffs that are normally present on each of Dave Mathews beautifully created songs. Dave's voice soars to each end of the octave range while with his hands he lays down the rhythum guitar, which for most musicians is a near impossible task. And as if the sounds of the dualing guitars or the pitch of Dave's voice do not completely enrapture the audience, the words to each of the songs hold a special meaning, not just words that go together and rhyme. The second track "#41" is an beautiful ballad spilling over with emotion. Following the lyrics of the song is a 4-5 minute instrumental where the talent of the two musicians is seen clearly. Throughout the album the artists continue to cover a variety of songs from 2-3 of Daves previous CDs, and play them better than they were originally recorded. Rare tracks like "Christmas Song" and "Lie in Our Graves" grace the album. The solo by Tim at the end of "Tripping Billies" amazes me everytime I listen. This is two CDs of pure musical art that will not disappoint any musical fan.Free Music Review: This is perhaps, Dave's Best Work w/ Tim Reynolds

There's a whole lotta love going around with this live CD. If you're into acoustic guitars and to having some crazy-fun with Dave & Tim, then this is the album for you. They're like an improvizational comedy-troupe performing [live] on stage for the masses at Luther College, with lots of banter and plenty of surprises. This is perhaps, Dave's best work w/Tim Reynolds. Tim provides the extraordinary, rythymic-backing on his guitar for his pal Dave; while, Dave's "quick-wit" and whimsical guitar-playing, delivers a scintillating (or otherwise hilarious) performance on-stage. His heart-felt work - on and off stage - is like and ode to a good friend. With his "cult-following" and the multitudes of people attending his concerts every year, he never seems to be letting-up, with his boundless-energy he posesses to pleasing his loyal fans. He's an assertive kind of guy, who likes to "turn-things-up-a-notch." The tracks on this CD are made-up of acoustical-versions (without the drums or fancy synthesizers) of Dave's songs consisting from his earlier albums such as: "Under The Table and Dreaming," "Crash," some B-Sides material, and some other cool-stuff that didn't get played very much on the radio. I've listened to this CD a lot. It's the one of those CD's in my collection, I will cherish for years to come.Free Music Review: Dave Triumphs Again

I have followed the Dave Matthews Band ever since I was eleven, riding down the road in my uncle's pickup truck listening to "Remember Two Things". Right away I knew that this was a group with undeniable soul and power. I followed them through their rise to the charts, listening to each new album with a growing sense of awe. I guess you could say I grew up with them.Now, six years after that first listen, heading to the feed mill with "Minarets" blasting out the open windows, I have finally gotten the new CD, Live at Luther College. It is without question one of the most beautifully done experiences of my musical life. The new songs, such as the powerful "Deed is Done", are excellent and I can only hold my breath for the full-band versions. The old songs are wonderfully done; the slowed-down acoustic blues of "What Would You Say", the romantic groove of "Say Goodbye", and perhaps most notably "#41", a lonely song that truly sounds LONELY this time around. Tim Reynolds also gets the opportunity to shine, with an incredible solo on "Tripping Billies" that left my mouth dry in awe, and of course the incredible "Stream". For three days I've carried this CD with me; I needed it that close.

This is the second review I am doing for this album just so I could mention something about a guitarist named Tim Reynolds. This guy is no doubt a rock GOD. All of the solos that he pulls off on this album are incredible in their ability to seamlessly blend in with Dave's playing and singing. I was listening to the song #41 the other day on the first disc and I was reminded of how incredibly good Mr. Timmy Reynolds is. Every time I hear Dave saying the words "Why won't you run into the rain and play, and let tears splash all over you," I get excited because I know that Timmy's solo is coming. And there is a moment in his masterful solo that all of the meaning that is expressed in Dave's words is captured and relayed through Tim's picking of just a few notes in his solo. It's just wonderful. If you don't buy this album for the fact that all the songs are great and played perfectly by both the musicians then buy it simpy for the fact that Tim Reynolds is an amazing guitarist the likes of which is rarely seen these days. He could hang with any musician when he is playing his guitar, even Bela and his Flecktones. So in summary, wonderful songs, wonderful solos, all through two of the most wonderful musicians in modern times.Free Music Review: Two virtuoso's captured live

Unfortunately, you cannot capture the brilliance of Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds live on an album. But this one comes close.
We saw this dynamic duo in Oxford England March 2007, as they played for more than three hours. Their performance live is unmatchable.
This album demonstrates yet again what an amazing songwriter, singer and acoustic guitar player Dave Matthews is...and it shows glimpses of the amazing talent that is Tim Reynolds. Dave's lyrics shine in this acoustic set more so than in DMB studio albums, as his voice becomes the third instrument in this duo. Through Dancing Nancies, #41, Dancing Nancies and Cry Freedom, Dave's songwriting expertise is more visible than with the full band. Tim Reynolds is amazing live and in person, and my one issue with this album is that his contributions aren't noticeable unless you know what you are listening for. But you can certainly hear his lead licks on #41, Dancing Nancies and Say Goodbye.
And it took me awhile, but I recognized the acoustic "Little Thing" (something "Dave and Timmy had been working on") as "An' Another Thing" from Some Devil...both versions are great.
An excellent album, see them in concert if you get the chance.
