Evidence of the fourth installment in the DMB Live Trax series has appeared online unannounced. "DMB Live Trax, Volume 4" is currently available in the Dave Matthews Band Official Store, with the description "TBD"

The cover reads: "Classic Amphitheatre Richmond, VA April 30th, 1996." The choice of the 4/26 show retreats the farthest into DMB history of the DMB Live Trax releases.

4/30/96 came on the heels the Crash CD release party. On 4/29/96 DMB played two shows, one at a local night club Maxx, the other at Trax-- both in Charlottesville. Both shows on April 29th were missing Boyd and Carter, but included guesting from Tim Reynolds. This two show day would have been easy to pull off compared to DMB's recent performance at Live 8 in Philadelphia, which was followed nearly 300 miles away that evening by a performance at SPAC.

Fortunatly the entire band was back together for the 4/30 show.
