Notes: Personnel: Dave Matthews , Warren Haynes (vocals, guitar); Boyd Tinsley (vocals, violin); LeRoi Moore (vocals, horns); Carter Beauford (vocals, drums); Gregg Allman (guitar); Rashawn Ross (trumpet). Audio Mixer: Brian Malouf. Recording information: Piedmont Park. Photographer: C. Taylor Crothers. Recorded in 2007, this Dave Matthews Band concert finds the beloved jam ensemble performing at Atlanta, Georgia's historic Piedmont Park. In addition to playing classic DMB tunes such as "Two Step," "Too Much," and "Ants Marching," the group joins forces with members of the Allman Brothers Band on select songs--with guitarist Warren Haynes (also of Gov't Mule) lending his searing six-string work to a funky version of "What Would You Say" and Gregg Allman sharing vocal duties with Matthews on a slow, bluesy cover of the Allmans' "Melissa." Although there is no shortage of live DMB albums, PIEDMONT PARK stands out as a notably fine show, and will be of particular interest to Southern rock fans.

Singer/songwriter/guitarist Dave Matthews was born in South Africa, but it was after moving to Charlottesville, Virginia, in the 1980s that he assembled his world-beating band. Adding violin and multiple saxophones to the traditional rock-band instrumentation, Matthews and his cohorts created a unique, idiosyncratic sound that melded jam-band improvisation with elements of folk-rock, funk, and jazz fusion. A homegrown phenomenon, the band sold a stunning number of copies of a self-released debut album via non-stop touring. After signing to a major label, avoiding any artistic compromise in the process, the band immediately broke through on a national level, becoming one of the most popular groups in the U.S.
