Dave Matthews Band Live Trax 8 Now Available for Purchase

Dave Matthews Band - Live Trax 8
This show, played on 08.07.2004 at Alpine Valley Music Theatre, East Troy, WI is part of DMB's exclusive online releases of their live shows over the years, which they call "Live Trax." This show was actually my first Alpine experience, and man it was an incredible show. This was the tour they started playing their new songs, some of which would go on Stand Up. For this particular show, they actually covered "Super Freak" in homage to Rick James' passing...but it was an incredibly good setlist, one you fans of DMB won't want to miss, especially if you were there!!! An excerpt from the buying site:

"The Alpine Valley show was a near perfect setlist from the show opener greeting, Hello Again to the encore featuring Typical Situation followed by Warehouse. New song Sugar Will was played as a long jam and another song making its debut that summer, Joyride, was also featured on the setlist. A special highlight of the Alpine night one Live Trax recording is Crazy Easy, never before released live!

A true surprise of the show included Super Freak, DMB’s tribute to the late great Rick James, which sent the crowd into a frenzy! Other highlights included Dave singing parts of #36 on the outro of Everyday, the solemnly beautiful I’ll Back You Up and Bartender, which was dedicated to the troops working hard to keep the world safe for us."
