We are closing in on a week since the greatness of the setlists that occurred over the DMB @ SPAC weekend. And since then, fans still rave about it. That show was one for the history books. For starters, the Dave Matthews Band debuted Shake Me Like a Monkey during their night 1 performance, probably one of the top favorites from the Big Whiskey album. The highlights of night 1 were: Shake Me Like a Monkey, (along with 7 other Big Whiskey songs that were played) Corn Bread, and Burning Down the House. Then came night 2, which blew night 1 out of the water. Fans loved Shake Me Like a Monkey so much on night 1 that the band had most decidely to bust open night 2 with it. But the fun did not stop there. No sir! For the first time this year, fans present got to hear the tour debut's of Typical Situation, The Stone (with Fools Rush In outro), Lie In Our Graves, The Song That Jane Likes, and for the first time since Big Whiskey has been released the band debuted Dive In. All these debut's were well received by fans. Then came the encore which was complete with a #40 tease, Granny, and a stellar All Along The Watchtower. But the night did not stop there. As soon as Watchtower ended, the band busted right into a rockin crowd bustin version of Halloween to close out the weekend. This is the first time in DMB history that Halloween was played at SPAC and it will be one that will not be soon forgotten. So if next year you ask yourself "what venue should I go to" or "which night should I go to", one thing is for sure....DMB @ SPAC is the place to be...more so night 2 it seems these days. Check out Halloween from SPAC (courtesy of a generous fan):

Jun 10, 2009 posted by Chuck Sclafani Spinner.com, an AOL blog site, has released the official DMB video for their latest single Funny The Way It Is. The video seen here has the video styles of the videos I Did It, Too Much, and including the stop-animation seen in the Eh Hee video. Unlike past band song videos, this latest video features only Dave Matthews but shows some live footage of Boyd, Carter, and Stefan in the background. Original rumors that Funny The Way It Is was filmed solely at New York City's own Grand Central have been greatly exaggerated. The video shows no hint of it. In fact the entire video is shot in a kitchen and on a production film set, with some 'green screens' in the background. The new rumor is that perhaps the video shoot at Grand Central was for the band's supposed upcoming second single Why I Am. So far, there are mixed a mixed bag of feelings on the video. While I liked it alot, a number of colleagues of mine have a complete opposite opinion, in short they did not like the video. Check out the video and decide for yourself:
