Editorial Review:
Revised and updated, Dave Matthews Band will contain new material consisting of interviews and photos to bring every fan up to date on the band's recent happenings. Their albums enter the charts at #1. Fans follow them around the country, soaking up the incredible energy of their sold-out live concerts. From gigging on a college rooftop to chart-topping hot rotation on MTV, Dave Matthews and his phenomenal band have electrified rock 'n' roll in America. Now a music insider takes you to the heart of this musical force in Dave Matthews: Music for the People, a revised and updated version of the book originally published in 1999. Chronicling the meteoric rise of this dynamic group, this comprehensive book also includes the most extensive lists of the Dave Matthews Band's tours and smash recordings. Through interviews with close associates, collaborators, tour mates, and friends, along with a revised, complete discography and "gigography" (the definitive list of all the band's phenomenal live shows), this book takes readers inside the Dave Matthews universe--the multiracial quintet's unique mix of jazz, blue-eyed funk, world rhythms, and sensitive lyricism that has spoken to people across generations.
Dave Matthews Band: Music for the People, Revised and Updated Reviews:
thin. 
2008-08-23 - The only thing one must know before reading this book: The author was a "journalist" for High Times. Research? Who needs it! Just separate the stems and seeds and get to typing!!
good enough but outdated 
2005-09-27 - buy the updated one and read those reviews, this version doesn't really capture the band anymore.
The definitive DMB Bible...
2004-08-08 - If you love DMB, this book is a perfect way to get an inside scoop on the band's history. From the early days to the stadium gigs, 'Music for the People' tracks Dave, Stefan, Boyd, Carter, and Leroi as they become one of the most popular bands of a generation. Complete with a discography and a gigography (a complete list of every show the band has ever played), this is a must-have for casual fans and hardcore Daveheads alike. I highly recommend it.
Horrible Book
2003-02-01 - Being a fan of The Dave Matthews Band, I purchased this book hoping to find out more insight to the backgound about the band. I was surprised to find many inaccuracies. One would think that they would check the facts before pulishing it. If you want accurate information of the Dave Matthews Band than I would suggest you read "Step Into the Light".
Great for the new DMB Groupie 
2000-07-22 - This book is a great book for the fan that has recently become enchanted with the unique and exquisite sound of the Dave Matthews Band. It includes biographies on the entire band, including the story of how they all came together. Find out how Dave, a native of S. America, moved to the U.S. permenately after being served papers to join the S. African army. The back of the book is the most useful, listing every album, every gig, and also micellaneous covers that the band has played throughout the years. The only down-side to this book is its redundancy. Throughout the chapters, every song is listed with it's length in time. Basically, every chapter reads like the last. On the positive, the book gives the stories behind nearly ever song. A must have for the TRUE DMB fan.
