Recorded Live at Folsom Field Boiulder, Colorado, 7/11/1002.



Like spiritual predecessors the Grateful Dead, the Dave Matthews Band have long been dogged by the accusation that they're really only capable of hitting their most soaring peaks in a live setting. But rather than bob and weave in an attempt to shake off that tag, the DMB seem willing to accept it -- in part, at least -- by punctuating their catalogue with numerous concert sets. This two-disc collection, which dates back to July 2001, might be the most adventurous (and certainly the most fiery) of their half-dozen live offerings. Much of Folsom is given over to material that was, a that point, not even officially released -- although, admittedly, diehards were certainly familiar with songs like the foreboding "Digging a Ditch" and "Bartender," both of which would later show up on Busted Stuff. Fans at the show respond most strongly to old standbys like "Crash into Me," presented here in a loose-limbed rendition that's more spry than usual, and "What Would You Say," but the musicians seem more intent on picking apart the intricacies of the then-fresh Everyday material. That's most evident in the sly, conversational tone that bassist Stefan Lessard and drummer Carter Beauford take on a free-and-easy "When the World Ends," as well as the elegant, torchy tenor that Matthews himself adopts on "Angel." As per usual, the band get a bit overwrought here and there, pushing "The Space Between," for instance, into the quicksand of prog-fusion. For the most part, however, Folsom is a perfect example of the connection between band and audience -- and the positive energy the collision can generate

David Sprague - Barnes and Noble Reviews



The fortunes of the Dave Matthews Band have been so tied to its legendary live performances that it's arguably led to some well-documented searches for direction in the studio. The success of Everyday was hard won, its originally rejected material eventually revived, reworked, and released a year later as Busted Stuff. But those creative struggles have paid double dividends here, arguably pushing Matthews and company to a compelling new plateau on stage. Recorded in Boulder, Colorado, on July, 11, 2001, fully half of this two and a half-hour show is culled from the results of those stormy sessions, including brooding versions of Busted's then-unreleased "Bartender" and "Digging a Ditch." But it's the wider, more challenging musical palette of Everyday that takes center stage, stretching from the lyrical, cinematic drama of "The Space Between" and "What You Are" to the smoky, blues-jazz tinged "Angel" and loping funk of "When the World Ends." That sense of adventure helps reinvigorate even Matthews staples like "Crash into Me" and "What Would You Say" with new musical dimensions and helps make this collection more than just the band's sixth live album. It sounds like the beginning of a promising new chapter.

Jerry McCulley - Amazon.com



Halfway through the ten-minute version of "Bartender" -- one of the highlights of this two-disc live document from summer 2001 -- the Dave Matthews Band settles into a calm, shimmering groove, and Matthews begins to murmur -- he toys with a line, then discards it, then reaches up and flutters into his falsetto. The rest of the band members follow, and pretty soon they arrive at one of the glorious swells that have become their trademark. Those eruptions happened frequently during the Folsom Field show, but what lifts this live release to "essential" status for fans is the chance to hear sweeping epics such as "Bartender" and "Big Eyed Fish" before the group returned to the studio to record them for its last album, Busted Stuff.
