Last night, Dave Matthews Band kicked off their annual Labor Day run at George, WA’s The Gorge. Infinity Song and Stephen Wilson, Jr. opened the night and the evening’s headliners began their set with one of their earliest jam vehicles, “Seek Up.” The group then surprised fans by debuting “Grux,” the instrumental invocation to their 2009’s LP, Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King that served as one of founding saxophonist LeRoi Moore’s final recordings and an enduring tribute to the late musician, who passed away in 2008. Continuing the surprises, DMB then proceeded to run through the rest of Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King in its entirety.
October 31, 1991 was the last Halloween the Dead ever played: the final night of a four-show Oakland run that began just two days after Bill Graham, the promoter who shaped the band's history in this building, was killed in a helicopter crash. Ken Kesey came onstage during a "Dark Star" that turned into an elegy for him, and the band closed the night with "Werewolves of London," the last time they ever covered it. Named-run shirts like this one were made for a specific handful of nights and sold to the people who were there. There is no national print run behind them.

The Disco Biscuits have confirmed their 2026 New Year’s run. A Cirque de Bisceaux will take place at Portland, OR’s Revolution Hall from December 31-January 2, marking their first shows back in the city since their sold-out two-night run in January of 2025. While announcing the holiday stand, the group said, “Details regarding the Cirque de Bisceaux theming are unclear at this time, but if their past New Years shows are any indication, it promises to deliver a whimsical Big Top-like environment, complete with plenty of circusy surprises.” This is the first time the Philadelphia-bred band have celebrated New Year’s Eve on the West Coast since their 1995 formation.

On Wednesday, September 2, Goose closed out their sweep through Colorado and Utah with a concert at Dillon, CO’s Dillon Amphitheatre. The gig—which arrived after a surprise appearance at a college party, three nights at Morrison, CO’s famed Red Rocks, a quick detour to Salt Lake City, UT’s Civic Center and an intimate spot at Bellvue, CO’s The Mishawaka—was an underplay for the ascendant Connecticut act. And, during the evening, Goose treated fans in attendance to several 2026 live debuts, including the quartet’s first stab at The Band’s “Look Out Cleveland,” from their famed 1969 self-titled album, since September 22, 2024, and their first take on Kenny Loggins’ Top Gun classic “Danger Zone” since they performed the energetic cover with the song’s author at Newport, RI’s Newport Folk Festival on July 25, 2025.
