Episode 16: Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds Live At Luther College [Part 2]

About this episode

Dan and Kev continue their discussion on Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds' 1996 concert, exploring themes of songwriting and the jam band culture.

Wait…are we still here? In their first ever two-parter, Dan and Kev continue to discuss Dave & Tim’s 1996 concert Live at Luther College. Dan and Kev are getting into uncharted (and unpolished) song territory, but they’ll get through it by discussing the tenets of the jam band ethos and mid-90s mainstream weirdness. How does this early snapshot of Dave Matthews as a songwriter reflect on his career in the 2000s and beyond? What makes this guy so polarizing and Tim so amazing? How many of these songs were they even planning to play? These topics, Christmas, lyrical nonsense and Neil Young are all discussed in this thrilling conclusion. This pod is poured from the hands of angels, so get in the Warehouse because part two is far from a Typical Situation.
