Dave Matthews Band announced today that the Beacon Theatre show on June 1st will be streaming live on Hulu.com. This will be Hulu's first-ever live concert stream, beginning at 9:00 p.m. EST.
Fuse TV will be broadcasting the show live, but for those who don't get the Fuse channel can turn to their computers to get the same live broadcast, bringing DMB to multiple mediums.
The Beacon Theatre holds a mere 2800 people, being an oddly small crowd for a typical Dave Matthews Band concert. An exclusive show for lucky fans, who will get a taste of "Big Whiskey" that evening. The show is a benefit concert for DMB's own Bama Works Fund.
Dave Matthews Band now has an iPhone Application called Tap Tap Revenge. The app can be downloaded from itunes for a price of $4.99 and is also compatible with the iPod Touch.
To celebrate the launch, Tapulous is giving away a slew of DMB prizes. You can win a pair of tickets to a Dave Matthews Band concert this summer or one of 30 copies of Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King (some exclusions may apply).
"Shake Me Like a Monkey" became available early this morning via the Itunes Pass which has been releasing new content every week. A video preview of "Shake Me Like a Monkey" was first revealed in the beginning of April where a group of 15 DMB fans lingered outside the New Orleans studio hoping for a chance to meet DMB.
Next Tuesday: Download of "Lying in the Hands of God"
Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King has been highly anticipated by fans and now with only 2 more weeks until the album release the Itunes pass continues to tease with bits and pieces of Big Whiskey.
Did you buy the Itunes pass? You still can, and while it might seem like an unnecessary extra $20 to spend there is more content on the way.
What's Available
UPDATE: 05.13.09 Ticket Requests are NOW available via the warehouse. You can request up to 2 tickets and they are going for $80 each. Seats are very limited. Tickets will not be available to the public for this show. Good Luck!
The concert, presented by Madison Square Garden’s national music network Fuse and MSG Entertainment, will benefit Dave Matthews Band’s Bama Works Fund supporting charitable programs in the Charlottesville, VA area.
This show will be a live broadcast on Fuse TV. In addition Fuse will air the four-part original documentary “Dave Matthews Band: The Road to Big Whiskey”, a 360-degree experience which began on April 14 as the band launched their Spring 2009 tour with a sold-out performance at Madison Square Garden.
Last night in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Dave Matthews Band played new song “Seven” from the upcoming album Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King. Since the start of the Spring Tour on April 14th, DMB have been playing new songs from Big Whiskey at every show. The first new songs to debut on the tour were “Funny The Way It Is”, “Spaceman” and “Why I Am”. They have been played at every show since.
“Seven” marks the forth song off the new album to be performed live and the album has yet to be officially released, but will be very soon on June 2nd.
Another new song to debut during the tour was “Beach Ball”, a b-side from the Big Whiskey album which will be available on the bonus disc included with the purchase of the Super Deluxe Edition.
