With Big Whiskey, which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 in June 2009, Dave Matthews Band paid tribute to founding member/saxophonist LeRoi Moore, who passed away in August of 2008. The group spent much of 2009 touring in support of the album, delivering some of the most emotional, powerful performances of its career, as Europe 2009 documents.
Dave Matthews Band - comprising Carter Beauford (drums), Stefan Lessard (bass), Dave Matthews (vocals, guitar) and Boyd Tinsley (violin) - will return to Europe in early 2010, with a tour launching February 13th in Stockholm and culminating with five U.K. dates in March.Formed in Virginia in the early 1990's, the group has sold a collective 35 million units (CD and DVD combined).Renowned for its live shows, Dave Matthews Band has sold 16 million tickets and was named the top-drawing American band in the world by Billboard.

Live From Lucca - 3 CD set
On July 5, 2009, Dave Matthews Band played at a beautiful plaza in the heart of Lucca, Italy. In this Tuscan setting, surrounded by city walls dating back to the Renaissance era, the group was inspired to deliver one of its longest performances ever. Lasting nearly three hours, the show featured a mix of Dave Matthews Band classics and new songs from Big Whiskey.
Across the Pond - DVD
"Dave Matthews Band: Across the Pond" is a concert film shot in the historic Brixton Academy in South London, an intimate setting reminiscent of the band's early years of club and theater touring. Directed by Sam Erickson (The Road to Big Whiskey Documentary/44 Pictures), it was filmed with 10 HD cameras on July 26, 2009. Mixed in pristine stereo and 5.1 surround from the original multi track recordings and presented via Dolby Digital stereo audio, it also includes five bonus tracks from the band's June 25th O2 Academy show.
