Which of these seven live Dave Matthews releases (none of them are bootlegs) is your favorite?
Sincerely,

"Live at Red Rocks" is the one I enjoy listening to the most.
Though Dave Matthews still does plenty of jamming with his band now with the setlist favorites of "Warehouse" and "Bartender", lately Dave Matthews has been experimenting with recording tracks with shorter durations and making songs more concise and to the point, and I just happen to like the long jams the best.
His first live release just floods with that. "Seek Up" and "Proudest Monkey" are two epic openers, with "Recently", "Warehouse" and "#36" also incredible performances.
"Listener Supported" is pretty damn good too though. You've got the "Before These Crowded Streets" favorites also tucked in there, which are primarily epic tracks like "Don't Drink The Water" and "The Stone". But you've got some pleasant suprises in there as well, like "Granny", "#40", "Long Black Veil" and "True Reflections".
The Chicago live release is also very strong. Excellent "The Last Stop" opener, with "The Christmas Song" even making the setlist.
If you want Dave Matthews with a stripped down, acoustic sound, "Live at Luther College" is your record. He plays alongside Tim Reynolds alone, and it is a great pleasing live release for the true DMB fans, though non-serious DMB listeners might yawn listening to it.
The other choices are listenable, though don't exactly stand out to me like the ones I talked about above.
Sincerely,
Noah Eaton
