LISTENER SUPPORTED represents a full-circle return for the Dave
Matthews Band. The Virginia natives turned college radio on its
ear when they independently releasing a live album as their
debut, helping make their newest live offering all the more
apropos. Few bands are as comfortable performing live as the Dave
Matthews Band. There's an organic electricity in the air that
makes it seem as though anything is possible. Their
fusion-meets-acoustic-rock-meets-folk-sound has been so
successful due in part to their fiercely loyal fan base, a fact
pointed to by this collection's title.
The secret weapon of the Dave Matthew's Band is its rhythm
section, possibly the most underrated in the group's genre.
Drummer Carter Beauford pours fire into the arrangements, taking
the music to new heights, while musical prodigy Stefan Lessard's
tight, melodic bass lines create the perfect symmetry. One listen
to the outro of "Rapunzel" will surely silence the
skeptics. Dave Matthews' vocals on "Crash Into Me" are
as raw and honest as it gets. What makes this band so unique is
that its live albums are as eagerly anticipated as its studio
releases, neither of which receives significant promotion or
marketing.
