Dave Matthews Band was one of those groups that wasn’t loud, but they are very skilled musicians. They don’t throw TVs out of windows like Motley Crue. They don’t destroy their instruments like The Who. However, they draw huge crowds who will travel the world to see them like the Grateful Dead and Phish. They had a few songs that had a more rock and feel to it, but for the most part they incorporated jazz and world music. Still pretty cool.
They were not known for being one of the more “rock and roll” bands but they had one really “rock and roll” moment that needs to be celebrated on this day 17 years ago.
17 years ago today the Dave Matthews Band were in Chicago and dumped 800 pounds of human waste on top of a boat that was traveling under a bridge in Chicago.
No, they themselves didn’t do it, but but it was their turds. You can see the video below that will explain, in greater detail, the day the Dave Matthews Band “shit on Chicago”.
