Dave Matthews Band: Live at Piedmont Park (DVD)

Live At Piedmont Park took place on September 8, 2007 in front of 50,000+ fans at the Meadow of Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Georgia. It was a beautiful late summer evening in Atlanta, Georgia with a cloudless sky and a perfect temperature. Dave Matthews Band began the "Green Concert" with the very apropos "One Sweet World," followed by fan-favorite "Two Step." Dave Matthews Band performed with absolute unrestrained energy at the Atlanta benefit show which raised more than $1 million to aid in the 53-acre expansion of the historic park.

Several songs will make their DVD debut on Live At Piedmont Park including "The Dreaming Tree" and new songs "No.27," "Cornbread" and "Eh Hee." An additional highlight includes the stop-time reworking of "So Much To Say, Anyone Seen The Bridge, Too Much." Last but not least, special moments of the show included members of the show-openers, The Allman Brothers Band, joining Dave Matthews Band on stage. Warren Haynes performed with Dave Matthews Band on stage during an extended reworking of "What Would You Say." Another highlight included the soulful performance of The Allman Brothers Band song "Melissa," with Dave Matthews and Gregg Allman alternately singing the lyrics. The DVD also features a photo gallery.
