The Chicago Tribune has a story about the final show of this fall tour.

"On paper, the Dave Matthews Band, which sold out its Saturday show at the United Center in minutes, seemsan unlikely candidate for superstardom. Its music is based on folk roots and jazz, the instrumentation is mostly acoustic, easily half of the group's tunes are slow ballads, and most of the band members are considerably older than their fans. The band's considerable appeal lies in its impeccable musicianship, distinctive instrumentation and arrangements, and Matthews' catchy tunes and passionate, clenched vocals."
