Description

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.

"Unauthorized" by DMB for good reason.......2005-08-25

As far as I can tell, this was a shameless attempt by someone to make $$ off of DMB. As other reviewers stated, there isn't a single note of DMB music on this DVD. That in itself is reason to leave it on the shelf.

Not their best, but still good.......2003-11-09

3 1/2 stars...
Ok, so this was definately not their best. I really don't recommend buying it either, unless you are totally bored with your DMB selection, but even then, try to burrow it from someone you know or rent it from the library or a video store.
Do not waste your money on this one, only because there are a lot of better DMB DVD's out there to spend your "dinero" on!

Buyer Beware.

Complete Waste of Money.......2003-08-26

Horrible!! My wife and I are big DMB fans. We were excited to see what this DVD had to offer, and considering that we saw this at Hastings, we figured it would be alright. Wrong!!

As stated by a previous reviewer, you get less than a minute of Dave actually talking. The rest are either friends and no-names who you don't really give a damn about. The least they could have done was interviewed Tim Reynolds.

I think the best way to describe this production is to that of the Blair Witch Project. Low-Budget, Amateurish, Garbage. Not too mention there's not one micro-second of DMB music on this DVD.

I'll be visting Hastings tonight, reciept in hand, to get my money back on this disaster.

Don't Waste Your Time or Money.......2003-07-31

Naturally if you are a DMB fan, you would definitely want this video/dvd. Don't buy it. Looks cool, especially "40 minutes of exclusive interviews". Unfortunately all with a bunch of so called friends of Dave Matthews who give their "insight" on the band. And absolutely no DMB music. Right when you open the DVD, it says it "Not authorised by Dave Matthews Band". And "authorised" is spelled that way. This looks like a bootleg DVD you would buy from a swap meet, and I am angry that Big Name chain stores would be selling this. It's very misleading.

Not great, but definately not terrible..........2003-06-08

I found this DVD very interesting. I recently read the book Step Into The Light about DMB, and this DVD brought a lot of the places to life. Some of the stories were very interesting and seeing places like Trax, Millers and the Warehouse is cool. I do wish that DMBs music was featured in the DVD, as well as more interviews, but as a hardcore DMB fan, this is a must.
