Dave Matthews Band Fan Site

Dave Matthews has always been generous with his support of charity organizations, but his two forthcoming gigs with Tim Reynolds is treading on new ground. Dave and Tim will play five charity shows from December 6-11 where in which the fans will be able to choose which charitable organization their money goes to. The pair will play two shows on consecutive nights to start the short charity tour in Seattle at Marion Oliver McCaw Hall. Fans will be given a credit for their donation on JustGive.org where they can select the charity of their preference. JustGive.org has a massive database of charities you can donate to and can even find charities that are in your local area. Ticket are priced at $135 with VIP tickets available for $375. The concerts are expected to raise around $1 million.

DMB may not be on the road for awhile following their final show this year November 20th in Virginia, but fans can look forward to a new live album from the band. Live in New York City is due out November 9th on RCA Records. The new record will incredibly be the band’s 17th live album (the last being Dave & Tim’s Live in Las Vegas). The recording captures the second show at Citi Field on July 17th, 2010. I’m looking forward to hearing the record’s live versions of “Two Step”, “Gravedigger”, “Some Devil”, and “Satellite”. In other news, you can reportedly win a chance to hang out with the Dave Matthews Band by way of a VIP auction that will benefit Habitat For Humanity.  Green Day and Goo Goo Dolls recently offered up similar experiences to raise money for charity.
