DMB then kicked off their spring tour in Durham, NC on 4/7/95 in fabled Cameron Indoor Stadium at Duke. The two shows are known for the song debuts of #40 and #41, known as 41 Police at the time.

There aren't too many artists that give off such infectious energy and joy on and off the stage that you can't help but smile.

This was one of our favorite pods to date as Karina is just such a blast to talk to and listen to. This is truly a can't miss episode and we hope you all enjoy. Cheers!

In Part 2 of our interview with Steve Lillywhite, we wanted to explore some topics that may not have been as widely discussed as some of the ones we touched on in Part 1. Not only do we take a deeper dive into the last DMB record he has produced, Away From the World (2012), we also venture into the Phish waters and have Steve reminisce on his time producing Billy Breathes (1996) as well as their post-breakup comeback album Joy (2009). Incredibly insightful and unabashedly honest, Steve delivers some epic recollections and opinions that will certainly leave you yearning for more.  Our time with Lillywhite concludes with an absolute can't miss "Rapid Fire" segment where we learn who would be sitting at Steve's dream dinner table, what project he is most proud of, and the band he'd most want to work with next. His answer shocked us! We cannot thank Steve enough for all of the fantastic music he has helped bring to our and millions of others' ears, for taking the time to speak with us and being so gracious throughout, and finally we really want to emphasive how wonderful he was to us. Thank you, Steve! 

It was an absolute honor having DMB & music industry legend Steve Lillywhite join us live from "The Lillipad" for Convos on the Corner! This has truly been years in the making and because he has been a part of many interviews in his career, we wanted to make this one as fresh and unique as possible.  In Part 1, we dive into how Steve got his start in music, what he's up to these days, and touch on some of the other bands he has worked with including The Rolling Stones, Phish, Peter Gabriel, Talking Heads, and of course U2 who he recently joined in Vegas to help prepare for their residency at The Sphere. We also discussed his incredible work with DMB on UTTAD, Crash, BTCS and the Lillywhite Sessions. Oh, and we actually had Steve listen to infamous MacHead and give us his reaction to hearing it again after all of these years, what it needed to have in order to have made the album, and the story behind its "lyrics". We hope you enjoy this enlightening convo with Steve - and be sure to come back next week for Part 2 where we discuss his works with Phish, the current band he'd want to produce, and an extended discussion about his potential final DMB record, Away From the World. 

EMERGENCY PODCAST! 2024 DMB Summer Tour Dates are upon us, so Bruce & Nolan had to discuss. It's another big tour for the boys, though shorter than last year, with 32 shows at 22 stops, with some great 2-nighters per usual. Where will we see you on the road this summer???

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! It's the most wonderful time of the year, and for our final episode of 2023, we share our favorite "gifts" that we unwrapped from DMB this year. Beneath the tree was full of greatness; no socks or underwear this year; so tough decisions were made and we had to choose some of our favorite things. So, pour yourself some eggnog, curl up by the fire, and re-live a year full of magic and joy.  Thank you all for an incredible 2023! Stay safe, give love, and be kind, always. 

Goose and their fans descended on the Hampton Coliseum for the 10th annual Goosemas weekend, and we all collectively blasted off into space for a truly epic experience.

For those that are new to Goose, don't worry, we help correlate a lot of the music and our experiences to DMB ones as well. The entire experience was amazing and we hope you all enjoy our recap of Goosemas X!

This week we were lucky enough to be able to sit down and chat with two gentlemen who were instrumental in the creation of the music video for "Everyday", Chuck McBride (Director) & Tim Harman (Producer). Chuck and Tim reminisce about how the conceptual ideas for the video were formulated, how they wound up with so many celebrities having cameos in the video, what it was like working with Dave and the band, and what the "When the World Ends" music video was going to look like before it was canned. This was truly an enlightneing and engaging conversation that we learned a lot from, and we hope you all enjoy it as much as we did. Thanks again to Chuck and Tim for their time and their work on this great video. Cheers!

While the band has been on a much deserved break, so have we, but as some of the DMB family hit the road again, so did we.

We recap this special night and highlight how incredible it is to be up close and personal with these true musical virtuosos.

The 2023 Summer Tour came to a close this past weekend at The Gorge, and wow did these boys have something to say.

Tune in to hear our thoughts on everything that went down over Labor Dave Weekend, and thank you to each and every one of you for listening!

For the first installment of “Concerts on the Corner”, we invite you to enjoy an entire concert made up of our all-time favorite performances from SPAC. To some, SPAC is the DMB-Mecca. It's where epic performances have become the norm and legendary shows are all but expected. Encompassing 19 different shows over 25 years, this concert features some of the best performances, guest appearances, never-before-heard segues, and of course a few "all-timers". We even took the liberty of creating a few new epic moments as well. Our plan is to continue with this series every month or so and have regular full band shows that we choose or ones that we completely mix together and create just like this SPAC show. We will see how it goes!

With the band now on a well deserved break, we are back to recap everything that happened from Camden all the way down to West Palm Beach. Tour debuts, special guests, and unique versions of classic songs dominated this 6 show stretch and we had a lot to say about it all. Cheers!

DMB pulled out all the stops at SPAC and Matt Norlander was there to help us recap an epic weekend, which featured the legend Béla Fleck back on stage.

On this episode we cover a whopping 10 shows that all happened in a 20 day span and included an impressive 25 tour debut. The band is firing on all cylinders as they are not only busting out classics and rarities left and right, but also keeping everyone on their toes with teases and fakes and song placement. As we head into the SPAC weekend, we cannot wait to see what DMB has in store for us all next! 

Dave Matthews is everywhere - and this week he surprised us all by joining Dead & Company during their final tour! The off-shoot of the legendary Grateful Dead brought Dave on stage for the end of their last show in Boulder, Colorado on July 3rd for the last four songs of the night. It was a monumental moment for everyone involved, from the stage to the crowd to everyone streaming at home. Nolan & Bruce break it all down for you, including Dave's history with the Grateful Dead and its members, in this week's special edition episode. 

This week we were joined by Ryan Storm, a true music Renaissance-man, to dive deep into the Darien show (his first show since 2013) and so much more.

These are some exciting times and we hope you all enjoy them to your full potential. Cheers!

Last week saw no shortage of happenings in the DMB world, specifically surrounding the soon-to-be-released Walk Around the Moon, so we took some time to digest it all and had to get together to dissect and discuss. From song credits, to song leaks, to a certain bass player's tweets, we cover it all here on Episode 65. 

Joe Lawlor is a renaissance man within the Dave Matthews Band camp and a legend amongst the fanbase. From his duties as the band's live recording engineer, archivist, real-time setlist updater, to his ripping on-stage appearances, Joe has seen and done it all throughout his 20+ year career touring the world with DMB. He was generous enough to sit down with us for more than 2 hours to discuss his musical background outside of DMB, taking the stage for the first time with them in 2006, his favorite DMB show of all time, a little bit of new album talk and SO much more. Thanks to Joe for his time and his generosity in sharing stories and his insight into what it's like to be side stage and backstage for the Dave Matthews Band. Enjoy!

The Dave Matthews Band hit 2023 running full steam ahead by announcing their 10th studio album, 'Walk Around the Moon', releasing the lead single "Madman's Eyes", and posting 45 fresh dates for the summer of 2023.
