Presumably intended to sate the appetites of DMB fans between albums, this five-song EP is a short but interesting addition to the band's canon. The most telling cuts are two live acoustic songs from 1994, which show the power and solidity of Matthews' songwriting. Also included is a full-band workout on the title tune, an alternate mix of the original REMEMBER TWO THINGS version. As always, the band is beyond tight, verging on telepathic, and Matthews' distinctive, hiccuping vocal style is at the fore.

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.
