Dave Matthews Band got some help from Jimmy Herring when they rolled through his hometown of Atlanta on Saturday night for a show at the Lakewood Amphitheater. The Widespread Panic guitarist made his appearance toward the end of the set to assist DMB with the old school fan favorites “Satellite” and “#41”.
Last night also saw DMB open their set with their first-ever live rendition of “That Girl Is You”, a new track from their forthcoming album Come Tomorrow, which is slated for release on June 8th. The band released the studio version of the tune on Friday, one day before they gave it a go on stage in Atlanta.
