My friend wrote this :-) And, I'm quoted it in it. Oh, happy day, I finally made it INTO a book! For someone who loves books and reading, to be in a book about DMB (my other favorite thing), well, it's the best of both worlds, isn't it?? :-) full write-up to follow when I get some time!!! But of course, I loved it!

This book is well organized and tells the story of DMB largely from the perspective of a few of the many fans of this two-decade old band. After a brief note about the band's planned 2011 'break' from touring (which is not quite going to come to pass, and was later clarifed by the author) the band's biography progresses chronologically from their roots in Virginia through the end of the 2010 fall arena tour.

If you are a fan of the Dave Mathews Band, then this is the book for you. Not only does it chronicle the band’s history for the past twenty years, it has interviews, color photographs and fan recollections. It covers the death of member LeRoi Moore and the band’s reinvention.
I remember when the band was first starting out and the quick growth of their following. Although, I have never attended one of their concerts, they certainly made an impression. I enjoyed reading this history of the Dave Ma...more

Fascinating! I thought I knew everything there was to know about DMB, but this book actually taught me a few things I did not know. I do think there were some details that were left out, but overall, it was a great read. I now feel so enveloped in the world of DMB that I am desperately mourning Summer Tour. Can't wait for next year!
Easy and fun read. Took me only one day to read. It was great to read about some of the friends I've met through all the shows and read about the shows that I actually attended! Definitely recommended to long time fans. Also recommended to those who may not understand what a close knit community the fan base is. Maybe this book will open more eyes to our passion and "family."
As a Warehouse member I received this book in the mail from another member. We started a chain with the book and are sign...more
This book has convinced me that if you want to see a really great live show, you must go to Europe specifically Italy.
I love Dave! A fun book that took me back to my college days and early 20s where my husband and I saw DMB 7 times.
Started this back in February. I feel like it is poorly written and just can't seem to pick it up again.
I love Dave and I love the Dave Matthews Band, but I wasn't in love with this book.
ok read about my most favorite band in the world. It covers the band's 20 consecutive years touring from small clubs & colleges to major venues like the great lawn in central park. It was interesting to read about how they almost called it quits and how they handled the death of founding member Leroi Moore.
Makes me want to see them live again!

A must read for any DMB fan...the story begins with the band's small, grassroot beginnings to the powerhouse the band has become and still is today.
Nice to have the story in one condensed form but otherwise no new information a fan doesn't already know.
Very good read
As a huge fan, I was eager to read it.
Very plain writing, total partial as it was written by an other huge fan's personal opinion.
To whom doesn't know the band, I wouldn't recommend it.
Overall; it was interesting learning some facts about DMB.

While I would have liked more from the band itself, the enthusiasm of DMB's fanbase is captured very well and made me want not only to see more concerts but buy every live DVD they have.
this was ok, but i already knew most of what was in the book so most of it i skimmed. oh well, at least i got a few pictures out of it.
Interesting if you're a fan,especially the history of the band.
