THE PERILOUS FIGHT: AMERICA'S WORLD WAR II IN COLOR
HOMETIME
The Dave Matthews Band - composed of Dave Matthews, Carter Beauford, Stefan Lessard, LeRoi Moore and Boyd Tinsley - is currently one of the most popular bands in the country. Their sound falls into the jam-band category, for its five members are highly adept at improvisation. Their fans flock to their shows knowing that they will never see the same show twice. On Thanksgiving the group appears in concert on this special SOUNDSTAGE presentation filmed at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado. This appearance marks Dave Matthews Band's return to the site of their milestone Live at Red Rocks CD, which confirmed their status as one of the nation's premier live acts. Filmed at the conclusion of their 2005 summer tour, the show features their hits "Crash into Me," "So Much to Say" and "Too Much" from 1996's multi-platinum selling Crash. The band also highlights songs from the 2005 release Stand Up, including the title song, "Dream Girl," and the showstopper, "Louisiana Bayou" - on which they're joined by Robert Randolph, Rashawn Ross and David Cast.
