Possible Iowa Show in April

By Waldo Jaquith
The Des Moines (Iowa) Register has a passing mention of DMB in a Thursday concert listing: "April 30 - The Dave Matthews Band doesn't stop in Iowa every day, but on this day it graces Hilton Coliseum in Ames." The Hilton Coliseum is a basketball arena that would seat roughly 10,000 people at a DMB show. They have played there previously, once in 1996 and once in 1998, and this would be in line with their plans to play venues smaller than stadiums throughout their 2002 tour. There is no official verification of this, but if it's true, it would be the first-known stop on their upcoming tour. 3:15pm Update: The listing has been yanked from the Des Moines Register's website. Editor Tim Sharp offered the following explanation to us: "The listing for Dave Matthews was a mistake. Text that was 'noted out' in the print version accidentally was picked up in the online version." This does nothing to tell us if the news was factually incorrect, merely that it should not have appeared. Let the speculation begin.
