Music

The live shows of Dave Matthews & Friends consist of two to three different segments.

1. Most shows open with just Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds on acoustic guitars, playing Dave Matthews Band songs, similar to their past acoustic tours together.
2. The majority of the performance has the full band playing songs from Some Devil, as well as some cover tunes. One particular song the band has embraced, Sweet Up and Down, was from the unreleased Lillywhite Sessions that was only played a few times by DMB early in their 2000 tour, and was not among the majority of the sessions' songs re-recorded for 2002's Busted Stuff.
3. The third segment, not done at every performance, features Dave Matthews and Trey Anastasio on acoustic guitars, with Matthews playing a DMB song (usually Everyday) and Anastasio performing a Phish song (usually Bathtub Gin), with the two singers singing verses from each other's songs.
