Never heard of it (and that's strange).

An unauthorized documentary film packed with exclusive interviews.

Features: DVD

The most successful cult act ever, The Dave Matthews Band have somehow managed to side-step all of the usual routes to stardom and have instead used talent alone to promote their records and live shows into the super league. Now, several albums into a career showing no signs of decline, the story behind this incredible band's success is told on film. Plugging The Gaps is a sixty minute documentary on DMB which goes behind the music to reveal what it is that makes these guys do what they do, and appeal to millions in the process. Features more than 40 minutes of exclusive interviews with the group and those close to them.

Doesn't sound like anything more than a low-budget documentary trying to ride the DMB wave. I read a few reviews on external sites (google "plugging the gap" "dave matthews band") that weren't complimentary. Feel free to try it out and let us know, though

It's on sale from 19.99 to 13.21 so thats not bad for an hour worth of stuff. It's also kinda funny that it has a release date of 3/18/2003, its somewhat old to our standard.

I second that. I bought it last summer and watched it and was pretty dissapointed. The "official band interview footage" is like 2 or 3 clips of random Dave interviews. In one part, the documentary is talking about their early days in Charlottseville, but it throws in a clip of Dave talking about why the Lillywhite sessions went to crap. Fucking terrible editing. There's lots of other things about it that are flawed, but there are some cool firsthand stories from folks that know the band. Anyway, don't buy it.
