Dave Matthews Band fans have a significant limited edition vinyl release to track down. Confirmed via the band's official announcement and ATO Records, Take Me Back: Live From The Gorge arrived physically on 5LP vinyl May 22, 2026, following a digital release on February 6.
This is a confirmed release with locked format details, so here's what's included.
The band's official announcement, corroborated by Rock Cellar Magazine, confirms the following:
Playing Before These Crowded Streets in full for the first time ever during their annual Labor Day weekend Gorge run is a significant live milestone for the band's catalog, and pressing that specific performance across five colored LPs gives it a physical weight that a standard live album reissue wouldn't carry.
Featuring Bela Fleck alongside Joe Lawlor and Jake Simpson adds genuine collaborative depth to the recording, giving this release a distinct character compared to the band's standard touring lineup performances.
As a limited edition colored vinyl release, proper handling and storage matter more than with a standard reissue, especially for a 5-disc set.
EVORETRO doesn't yet produce vinyl-specific sleeves or box protectors, so the closest available options are general-purpose. For safely shipping or transporting the box set, EVORETRO's poly bubble mailers add a protective outer layer during transit.
For displaying the box itself upright, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case, available up to 12 x 12 x 12 inches, can house the closed box set, though it's worth measuring the actual packaging dimensions first.

It's the first time Dave Matthews Band played Before These Crowded Streets in its entirety live.
Hardwood-colored.
Not yet — general shipping and display products are the closest current options.
Take Me Back: Live From The Gorge documents a genuine first for Dave Matthews Band's live catalog, pressed as a limited colored 5LP set that rewards careful handling. With the physical release already out, it's worth prioritizing safe storage for a set this significant.
Having general-purpose protective packaging on hand at least keeps the box set safer than leaving it exposed on a shelf.
