I came across these great videos of a very young Dave Matthews Band playing the Van Ryper Festival in Charlottesville, VA on April 5, 1992. Notice in the first video that Matthew’s says the crowd is the largest they have yet to play for. Also notice that keyboardist Peter Griesar was still in the band. They sure do sound very young.

Here are the rest of the videos from that show:
In this digital age, one of my most favorite things to do with albums has really been forgotten and lost and that is reading the printed lyrics along with an entire album while listening to it. The first album I really remember doing this with was Bob Dylan’s John Wesley Harding in the fifth grade. Well, I thought I’d put this song up because 1. It is my favorite Ray Lamontagne song 2. It has beautiful lyrics 3. Someone took the time to make this video with the lyrics in it. Thanks go to the person who put this together. The song is called “Empty” and it is off Ray’s sophomore album, Till The Sun Turns Black.
