After signing with RCA Records, Dave Matthews Band released its debut studio album, Under the Table and Dreaming (1994). In the United States, the album peaked at number 11 on the Billboard 200 and was certified six times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The group's next studio album, Crash (1996), peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 and was certified seven times platinum by the RIAA. Before These Crowded Streets (1998) reached number one on the Billboard 200 and was certified four times platinum by the RIAA; the band's single "Crush", which became the band's first entry on the US Billboard Hot 100, appeared on that album. Before These Crowded Streets was followed by Everyday (2001) (which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, was certified three times platinum by the RIAA, and featured the band's first top 40 hit, "The Space Between"), Busted Stuff (2002) (which reached number one on the Billboard 200, was certified two times platinum by the RIAA and included another Top 40 hit, "Where Are You Going"), Stand Up (which reached number one, was certified platinum, and contained the band's most successful single to date, "American Baby"), Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King (which debuted at number one and was certified platinum by the RIAA), Away from the World (2012), and Come Tomorrow (2018).
The group has released multiple live albums throughout its career. While always encouraging fan recordings of concerts for personal enjoyment, the success of the band led to the illegal sale of such recordings. Such copies were often very expensive and of low quality. To meet the demand of the illegal distribution of such recordings, the band released its first concert album, Live at Red Rocks 8.15.95, in October 1997.

Why this record matters
The phrase “wikimedia band discography” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5229302. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1994, 1996, 1998 and 2001.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
