- Dave Matthews Band tours
-
Dave Matthews Band tours have taken place since 1991, when the band debuted as a small rock band in Charlottesville, Virginia. Since then, Dave Matthews Band has become internationally known, performing sold out shows at stadiums and large venues throughout the world. In addition to playing in the United States, the band has also performed in such countries as Canada, Australia, Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Italy, United Kingdom, Switzerland, and France. The band has held an extensive summer tour every year since 1992, frequently featuring guests to join them on stage and jam out their songs. Some of the bands most popular guests include Tim Reynolds, and Béla Fleck. After performing on two tracks on Before These Crowded Streets, keyboardist Butch Taylor made his live debut with the band on June 6, 1998. He was featured as a guest during many shows between 1998 and 2000. Beginning in 2001 he became a "permanent" guest of the band, and performed almost every song at every show until his departure in 2008.
In addition to the annual summer tours, the band has also held tours during the spring, fall, and early winter seasons. Late winter months (January - March) are often reserved for acoustic shows by Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds[citation needed], or solo acoustic shows featuring Matthews himself.

Performing long live shows
Dave Matthews Band is often referred to as a "live band" because the live performances usually differ from those heard on their albums. Many songs are jammed out live, anywhere from 5-10 minutes longer than the studio version, however sometimes even longer. Currently, the band's longest live version of any song is a performance of "#41" which was played for over 32 minutes featuring Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, whereas the album version clocks in at just under seven minutes. Dave Matthews Band's performances usually last between 2 to 3 hours. Their longest shows to date are as follows:
- November 20, 2010, at John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, Virginia (3 hours & 1 min.)
- July 5, 2009 at Piazza Napoleone in Lucca, Italy (2 hours & 54 min.)
