Dave Matthews Band - Live Trax Volume 3

"8.27.00 Meadows Music Theatre, Hartford, CT is the third volume in the DMB Live Trax series. 8.27.00 was the third show in a three-night stand at the Meadows, a show that many fans have listed in their top 5 due to the choice set list and the energy with which the songs were played that summer evening. The 8.27.00 show is available as a 2-CD set or as a digital download in MP3 or FLAC formats. The CD is being offered as a bundle with the popular pinwheel t-shirt remade with the 8.27.00 date as well as a bundle with Live Trax volumes 1 and 2. The show began with an explosive Dancing Nancies, the first time since 1997 that Dancing Nancies was played as the opener. An almost twenty-minute version of Seek Up built the energy at the show before a perfect transition to Linus and Lucy/Pantala Naga Pampa, which led into a rapturous Rapunzel. The sweet melody of I'll Back You Up came next, surprising the audience and giving them a first chance to catch a breath since the show started. The energy in the venue climbed again as new song Busted Stuff was played followed by Recently. New songs, Raven, Grey Street, a tremendous version of Bartender and Grace is Gone made the rare set list even more diverse. Another surprise, Daniel Lanois' beautifully written, The Maker was played flawlessly that evening. Carter's drum solo and Dave's performance during Say Goodbye brought everyone to their feet. The band jammed JTR next followed by a direct intro into Ants Marching. DMB finally ended a monumental show with a combination of rare songs as encores: the Stone and Drive In, Drive Out."
