Free Music Review: DMB's Best Live Album to Date
Hit: 5 Stars
Of all the live DMB albums, including the most recent Live in Chicago, I would rate this at the top (excluding the acoustic Live at Luther College, as that's in a bit of a different category). I feel that there's an energy in this show that just puts it that bit above the other albums. It feels fresh and new, and the whole band just locks in together in their jams.After listening to it countless times over the years I'm still taken away by the two tracks at the end of the first disc - Dancing Nancies and Warehouse. The version of Dancing Nancies on here is so much better than the studio one on 'Under the Table...' that it may as well be a different song. Not only is it nicer to listen to throughout but there is an immense climax/jam at the end of the track that still gives me shivers to listen to. It just builds and builds and ends perfectly to lead into Warehouse. And the way Warehouse is played makes it the perfect follow-on to Dancing Nancies. By the time it's finished the two tracks (to me, at least) have combined into one great masterpiece.
If you're contemplating a live DMB album, I'd definitely recommend this one before any other, unless you're looking for live versions of more recent songs of course.
Free Music Review: Unbelievable
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is unbelievable. I haven't been into DMB for that long. I got my first CD Listener Supported in Dec of 2000. I got Crash after and ever since they've been my fav band. This CD is unbelievable. You cannot say enought good things about this CD. Leroi is crazy on this CD he has aweomse solos on Ants (with the crowd yelling in the back), Best of What's Around, Two Step, and Lie in Our Graves. LiOG is fantastic. Boyd is constantly good, this CD doesn't disapoint. Dave is good except for the yelling once in a while. Carter plays like he just ate 100 Pixix-sticks... AMAZING! I can't say anything about Stefan because you can't even hear it on any of the CD excepr #36. The only complaint is that Tim plays something everytime there's a lull in the music. What you don't play is just as important as what you do right??? Other notes:... At the very end of Typical Situatuin if you lilsten rally carefully you can hear a security guard yell at two kids for throwing mud at each other.One more thing... The amazing thing about DMB is that people say how talented Dave is. Personally, he isn't even the best person in the band. And that's not against him. Talent-wise is Leroi, Carter, Boyd, Dave, Stefan.
Free Music Review: BEST DMB CD
Hit: 5 Stars
Without a doubt the best dave CD. The band hits an unreal groove right from the beginning and hammers it through all the way to the end. What's better, a lot of the songs are given extra layers and twists that not only make them more enjoyable and complex, but create some of the most original versions you'll ever have heard. Seek Up is an great opener. It's an epic. Two Step has about a 2 1/2 minute intro combining acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and violin. Recently is one of the better versions with rare intros and outros, Dancing Nancies evolves into a great groove, and Lie in Our Graves has some nice sax action. The second CD has great songs as well, tight version of Tripping Billies, good Lover Lay Down, #36 has Carter pounding the drums for over two minutes before the song even begins. Ants has a nice little intro, Typical Situation is a sweet acoustic version. Finally, All Along the Watchtower. NICE. For those of you tired of hearing the sax and violin solos in the middle of every watchtower, worry no more. Reynolds goes buckwild with the electric and it's an awesome closer. My Advice--Buy it. Hope this review gave you a good overall picture of Red Rocks. Buy Now.Free Music Review: The spark that started the fire...
Hit: 5 Stars
Who knew that live CDs could be this delicious? I don't think even Dave could've predicted what an impact he would make through his concerts. But Live at Red Rocks is a legendary performance that was the spark that started the fire for me. You cannot help but catch the fever of wanting to see DMB live after you listen to this CD. This is what people go crazy over. If you don't understand the DMB phenomenon, listen to this with it turned up all the way...listening to this CD live gives me chills. I feel like I am there.The appeal of this CD lies in its personality. Dave and Crew are not your typical "sing off the CD" band. They add their own twists, their own quirks, and their own idiosyncracies. That is why people travel the country over to see them: no two performances are ever alike. I'd like to see Britney Spears and NSYNC compare to that.
Have you ever thought about becoming a DMB fan (if you're not, I know the numbers are slimming!)? Then get this live album. You will be convinced of the talent, creativity, and sheer bliss the band puts into every song. And then you will be hooked. Don't say I didn't warn you!

If you're like me and can't get enough of the Dave Matthews Band, you will ABSOLUTELY LOVE this. In this recording of a live concert, classic DMB songs that you already know and love are enhanced thousands of times over. The energy behind these songs is unimaginable and you feel like you want to jump up out of your chair and just hop around like a raging idiot because you can't handle the excitement. LeRoi and Boyd simply tear it up with their long and styling solo's, and Dave....oh! Just by listening to him and how excited and emotional he gets when singing sends a chill down my spine. "Seek Up", "Typical Situation", "Tripping Billies", and "Dancing Nancies" are absolutely magical. Trust me, if you even remotely like DMB's music, you will LOVE this CD. Buy it...it's worth it.If you're not a fan of DMB, this CD will be like love heroin, and you're not going to want to take it out of your stereo for weeks, maybe months. Please please please give it a try, because the band is phenomenal, and the CD is the best I've ever heard.
