This crazy Dave Matthews "lost recording" from 1989

How in the world did I not hear about this until today??

I was looking up the DMB concert in Mountain View on Antsmarching.org, this awesome download site for free (and legal) Dave Matthews concert recordings. It's really cool cause Dave encourages people to record his shows and share them online, so I found the show there and it's currently downloading. Looks like probably quite a good recording.

So that rocks. But more excitingly, I was looking around on there and it turns out that Dave recorded a show waaaaaaaaaaay back in 1989 with this guy named Mark Roebuck who was a fellow bartender in Virginia with Dave! It was recently re-released (in 2005), and it's called "Tribe of Heaven" - this is amazing!!!!!!!!!! A new, old Dave album?!?!?!?!

Check it out!!

Dave Matthews Band
March 1, 1989
Greg Howard's Studio, Charlottesville, VA

Simple Thing
In God's Country
The Song That Jane Likes
Imagine We Were
Touch
Waves Drift Ashore
One War
Half The Time
Subway
Stillborn Child

Notes:
This was the first recorded Demo done by Dave, with Mark Roebuck. The album was called Tribe Of Heaven. The commercial release in 2005 did not feature the song Stillborn Child. Dave shared writing credits on the unreleased Stillborn Child, and also Imagine We Were, Song That Jane Likes, and One War. Mark wrote the rest of the tracks himself.

This date is an estimate of the first part of the Tribe Of Heaven sessions. Greg Howard played keys on Imagine We Were and Half The Time. Mike Rosenski played guitar on Touch.
There were two seperate sessions for this album, but no one is exactly sure which songs were played when. It is possible that all songs were played at both sessions.

So that is pretty amazing.

Looks like you can listen to some of the tracks from "Tribe of Heaven" on CD Baby here: http://cdbaby.com/cd/tribeofheaven

Man I gotta buy that album. That is amazing, it's pre-Dave Matthews Band style Dave. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! What I didn't realize is that "The Song that Jane Likes" is actually from these days and is on this album?!??!?!?! Whaaaaat!!!!!!!!! Man this is sooooooooooo cool.
