Dave Matthews Band, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King Options

[Liveoneut]

I've just been exploring the version their latest that I got on iTunes, some sort of deluxe version with extra content and videos and that sort of thing. In some of the videos, Dave admits to some things that really caught me off guard.

Apparently, their band was suffering from some of the same problems that was going on within the family of +Live+. He speaks about their friendships starting to dissolve and it was extrememly eye opening. It got me thinking about how nice it would have been if the same could have happened with +Live+.........reconciling I mean. In another video, Dave says that if there was only one album of theirs that anyone could listen to ever again, that he wishes it would be this one. They talk about collectively recording this record, and saying here it is.....this is the best record that we could have given you................period. Fucking A!!!!! Here come the tears again. I guess every now and then, when I least expect it, I'm reminded how special it was to have +Live+ in my life.

Anyway, it's a great album, so if the genre even semi-interests you, definitley check it out!

I'm a big DMB fan and I love this album (especially "Why I Am", written as a tribute to LeRoi Moore), but it's not even close to being their best. That honor goes to Before These Crowded Streets.
