      Live at Luther College


Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
Unplugged and set apart from his bandmates, Dave Matthews is transformed from a fusion rocker to something of a fusion folkie. Indeed, this two-disc, two-man concert recording (cut in Iowa in the winter of 1996 and shelved for nearly three years) posits the South African-born bandleader less as a Blues Traveler fellow traveler than a dexterous, jazz-inflected minstrel in the tradition of Tim and Jeff Buckley, Terry Callier, and Ellen McIlwaine. As with those considerably less-successful performers, multiplatinum Matthews is enticed to soar ever higher by his considerable vocal prowess. Ultimately, Matthews takes his tunes in dizzying directions because he can! All those exhibitions of elasticity have earned Matthews disdain in less-is-more circles. Here, however, more than ably complemented by frequent DMB guest and fellow Charlottesville, Virginia, denizen Tim Reynolds, Matthews virtually bursts through 23 tunes that leave his audience wanting more. They needn't worry: even his worst critics wouldn't accuse Matthews of being stingy when it comes to music. --Steven Stolder

Like a lot of his jam-band compatriots, Dave Matthews's personality can come off as muted in the studio, but really spreads out live--which makes this a must-have for fans who don't already have the bootleg, or nineteen more from the same period. But absent a hits sampler, Live a...

best Dave Matthews
it is true dave in a rare unplugged form.... timmy is the best on the guitar, very relaxing

Dave and Tim are white hot!!
I worship DM!! Dave and Timmy Reynolds chemistry is insane!! If you want a cd set where every, I mean every song is beautiful, and moving, then you have it right here! It's hard to write a review about something I'm so fond of. One disk is in my SUV and the other in my Dakota. My kids know almost all the words. Very kid friendly and the groove is incredible. Just buy it!! You will become a fanatic like me!! One Sweet World...........

Two virtuoso's captured live
Unfortunately, you cannot capture the brilliance of Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds live on an album. But this one comes close. We saw this dynamic duo in Oxford England March 2007, as they played for more than three hours. Their performance live is unmatchable. This album demonstrates yet again what an amazing songwriter, singer and acoustic guitar player Dave Matthews is...and it shows glimpses of the amazing talent that is Tim Reynolds. Dave's lyrics shine in this acoustic set more so than in DMB studio albums, as his voice becomes the third instrument in this duo. Through Dancing Nancies, #41, Dancing Nancies and Cry Freedom, Dave's songwriting expertise is more visible than with the full band. Tim Reynolds is amazing live and in person, and my one issue with this album is that his contributions aren't noticeable unless you know what you are listening for. But you can certainly hear his lead licks on #41, Dancing Nancies and Say Goodbye. And it took me awhile, but I recognized the acoustic "Little Thing" (something "Dave and Timmy had been working on") as "An' Another Thing" from Some Devil...both versions are great. An excellent album, see them in concert if you get the chance.

Dave Matthews Band Classic
I remember growing up and not really paying that much attention to Dave at first. Then someone played this CD in my friend's car. Instantly, I got to experience the real sound of Dave and just fell in love with his music. Now, as a true DMB fan, I always refer back to this CD as one of my favorites. Tim & Dave together - you can't ever go wrong. A couple of my favs are Deed is Done and Little Thing (which becomes An Another Thing on Some Devil, but sounds much better here). And I will always prefer the LIVE sound of Dave over a recording studio anyday. Something about his live performances is just phenomenal. If you don't already have it, I suggest it highly!!!!

The Best of the Best
Simply stated, this CD is not only worth puchasing, but is a necessity to the collection of any acoustic guitar fiends, and certainly, every Dave fan. Each song is a divine lesson in guitar playing in itself. If you were to buy one DMB CD, make it this one. An absolute must-have. Highlights: Dancing Nancies, greatest version out there Crash Into Me, likewise Jimi Thing Warehouse Enjoy. You can't go wrong with this album.
