The Cologne CathedralAs the month long European run comes to a close one thing is very clear, Dave Matthews Band are having a lot of fun playing these European cities and are heavily promoting their latest studio album, "Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King".
Stefan Lessard among many fans have been our personal tour guide sharing twitter updates and some stunning pictures of Europe.
The setlists can easily be compared to that of the 2009 tour, but DMB are still promoting their new album and Europe is finally getting more DMB love. You can hear for yourself with a few of the tapes that have surfaced from the tour that the "Big Whiskey" songs are already evolving and becoming more polished since last years tour. One of many highlights is Tim Reynold's longer solo on "Seven".
The Europe CD/DVD Box Set has now been officially released and is starting to trickle into stores and in the hands of DMB fans. While there has been plenty of excitement for this release there are a few underlying issues that some fans have vocally complained about.
One of the most glaring differences with the release is the fact that some of the interpolations were cut from the DVD as well as the CD.
Cut from the DVD were Led Zeppelins "Heartbreaker" and "Stairway to Heaven" interpolations as well as the partial rendition of Jackson 5 "I'll Be There" which was played in memory of Michael Jackson, who died the previous day of the show.
It is official. Dave Matthews Band will be kicking off the 2010 tour season in Europe! Dave Matthews mentioned in a recent interview in Guitar & Bass magazine that the band would be visiting Germany in the Spring. The tour will start on February 13th in Sweden and end in Birmingham, England at O2 Academy where they played two show this past summer.
