Taping Policy
Dave Matthews Band allows audiotaping at almost every live performance. We feel
that each show is unique and want to offer our fans the opportunity to recreate
the live experience through the audio reproduction of our shows. At all taping
authorized performances, tapers can tape from any ticketed seating location in
the venue. Also, for many of these performances tapers are able to purchase
tickets for a specially designated taper section, normally located immediately
behind the soundboard. No soundboard or power feeds are provided.
Taping is limited to audio-only. We sincerely appreciate all of our fans, so we
ask that you please be considerate of those around you by not obstructing anyone
else's view of the performance.
When taper tickets are available for a particular show, they are released
concurrently with general seating tickets. To obtain designated taper tickets,
contact the venue's box office.
All recordings must be used for personal use or trading only. Selling or
commercializing any recording is illegal and will jeopardize taping privileges
for everyone. Please read our Bootleg Statement for more
information
In addition to helping fans recreate the live experience, we hope tape trading
will foster greater interaction within the fan community. Any method of trading
that does not involve personal fan interaction defeats the spirit of this goal
of the taping policy and is not authorized.
