Dave Matthews Band Hit the Road
Matthews and Co. travel "Stand Up" The Dave Matthews Band will hit the road, in support of 2005's platinum-selling Stand Up, beginning May 30th in Maryland Heights, Missouri, wrapping up with a two-night stand in their hometown of Charlottesville, Virginia, on September 22nd and 23rd.
This is DMB's third time out for Stand Up: The band wrapped up their fall tour in December, and their 2005 summer trek spawned both the CD/DVD combo Weekend on the Rocks and the box set The Complete Weekend on the Rocks, released in November. The CD/DVD combo was filmed at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, where the band had recorded its first live album ten years earlier.

The trek will head to thirty-seven cities across the country, with featured stops at New York's Randall Island, DMB's annual three-night stint at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington, and a special stop in New Orleans for the Jazz and Heritage Festival.

Openers will include reggae newcomer Matisyahu, rockers O.A.R., and bluesy funksters G. Love and Special Sauce.

Tickets go on sale to the public on April 8th.

    Why are they still supporting that crap Standup album. Ugh. I'd rather have them tour a greatest hits (which I wouldn't like but at least its better than standup).

    On the winter tour, they weren't doing too much Stand Up, so lets hope that stays the same.

    Yah ... Mule opening!!! I think Mule is better on their own, with thier long sets, but you know your gonna get Warren up for Cortez and a couple more!

    Pittsburgh was a huge party, too. DMB is extremely popular it seems up here in the northeast. This year is going to be special. I'm still in HS, and last year around 40 kids from my school, from just my group of friends, went down together - this year probably more. And, June 9 is our last day of school - perfect way to start off the summer :) !!

    Yeah, I'll give ya that. It's a shame that almost half the songs each night will end up being off Stand Up when their other albums are so much better (even Everyday). Nevertheless, I'm still gonna try to hit up the FL shows this year.
    Stay positive and love your life
    Hooray Florida shows

    I don't think it'll be too much Stand Up...maybe if you catch the beginning of the tour you'll get more but in their winter tour I saw them in Detroit and by that point I think that we only got 3 from Stand Up. So I wounldn't worry to much.... hey in Detroit we got Two Step played as a 5th song, then Dancing Nancies>Warehouse>Linus and Lucy Jam, Too Much, Smooth Rider>Jimmy Thing>Stay>C.Song>Old Dirt Hill>WWYS and Pig as the opener! So it's still worth it to catch them is you can.

    I didn't go see them at all last year cause I didn't want to put up with those songs from Stand up at all. Hopefully this year will be different.

    There are a couple things I gotta say:

    1) People here are bashing the band. Sure their studio albums don't appeal to everyone (and I can totally understand that), but these guys put on one of the best live performances around.

    2) Sure the article says they're touring in support of their album. That's not true. They play every summer, and every night they switch up their songs. Many nights they may very easily play the majority of their songs from Crash, Under the Table and Dreaming, or like last year in Toronto when they played many songs from Before These Crowded Streets - more than any other album as I recall.

    3) Stand Up (the album) sounds amazing live. The studio album doesn't compare.

    Sure the band doesn't appeal to everyone, but if you don't like them don't post. These guys play one of the best shows around. I saw DMB and U2 last year around the same time and U2 didn't compare. When it comes to live performances these guys rock.

    Oh, and Carter Beauford is sick!

    Not to be a dick, but they ended up playing 6 Stand Up songs that night...I guess thats a good sign if you only remember 3 of em though. Just lookin through their tour stats again, 1/3 of the songs each night were from Stand Up. As cliche as it sounds, I really hope they break out their old songs for this upcoming tour.

    Stand Up is horrible live, and in the studio. I can't stand American Baby, Stand Up, Dream Girl, or the rest of the boring poppy ballads. Hunger For The Great Light is about the only great song live, and two or three are alright. Just give me his old work. And drop the shitty stuff off of Everyday. And bring back 'So Right', one of my favorites of his from any era.

    i think Louisiana Bayou is awesome live, as is Smooth Rider, American Baby Intro is a sweet instrumental live...
    I agree that the album Stand Up is weak, and i wish they were not using the same producer for their next album, but...i'm sure some of their fans would say Binaural or No Code are crap because it isn't like "old" pearl jam
