Rolling Stone hailed Dave Matthews Band as the "kings of summer" in a recent "On The Road" feature, praising the mixture of new tunes and rarities they played at the sold-out tour opener. "'Gaucho,' a song primed for the band's forthcoming album, was a bright, propulsive burst," said The Boston Globe.

With the debut of Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King atNo. 1 on The Billboard 200 in 2009, Dave Matthews Band became one of only two groups in chart history to have five consecutive studio albums enter atop the chart.
