The band is hooking everyone up that participates with a free live album, with SO MUCH TO SAVE 2009 downloadable album. SO MUCH TO SAVE 2009 features live tracks from Dave Matthews Band as well as supporting acts on tour including Avett Brothers, Gomez, Hill Country Revue, Switchfoot, Umphrey’s McGee, and Yonder Mountain String Band. Here’s how to get it, “Look for the SO MUCH TO SAVE volunteers and recycling bins at concerts in the venue parking lots, and help keep the lots clean. Recycle at one of the SO MUCH TO SAVE stations or with a volunteer and receive a card with a unique code. Use the code to download the SO MUCH TO SAVE 2009 album—for free! If you have already recycled at a show or are not able to make it to a show – you can still download the album by pledging to recycle and save energy. Visit the SO MUCH TO SAVE website for complete information on DMB’s SO MUCH TO SAVE Bama Green Project and to download the free album!

SO MUCH TO SAVE volunteers are needed at the shows – email volunteer@musicmatters.net and include your name and the show date(s)!”

So Much To Save

The Dave Matthews Band has officially started its carpool program for the summer in association with PuckupPal, where fans can carpool to and from each show for free. This is just another way DMB, under the Bama Works Foundation, is trying to decrease CO2 emmissions caused by their touring. The band has already been commemerated for its fight to fight off global warming. The site can be found here, where you can register for free.

In an article by Spinner, on behalf on Live Earth, they count down the top “greenest” or eco-friendly musicians. The Dave Matthews Band comes 10th, appropriately so as Dave Matthews is known for trying to help our “One Sweet World”.

Thanks go to Jake for the tip. The article can be read [here].

According to All Headline News, NBC will broadcast Live Earth on July 7th, starting at 4am [the timezone is not mentioned]. They will continue broadcasting for 22 hours straight, therefore ending at 2am on July 8th. The broadcast will feature pre-recorded and live segments of Live Earth – “a 24-hour, 7-continent series of 9 concerts taking place on 7/7/07 that will bring together more than 100 music artists and 2 billion people to trigger a global movement to solve the climate crisis“. The Dave Matthews Band is set to perform [along with many other artists], so they will most likely be seen sometime on NBC.
