Despite being only 5 songs long, the Recently EP should be considered a must buy for dave fans. the acoustic versions of Dancing Nancies and Warehouse give the listener a taste of his Luther College performance with Tim (Daves best cd). All Along the Watchtower has become a favorite at live concerts as a finale or encore. Holloween shows the dynamic contrast of daves songs, providing a harsh edge that proves completely different from the mellow tones and chords of the title track. While the first song remains slightly short for my liking, it still gives the listener a taste of the new directions dave has taken towards his later albums. Overall, Recently has proven to be a great transition EP album and is a great gift for friends without spending the money of an expensive two cd set. The 5 song sample gives the full gamut of Dave's amazing voice and sound. I reccommend Recently for any dave listener, but especially the true fans who really appreciate his originality and outstanding capabilities as a musician and performer.

This little EP is a gem! All five tracks are great, several of them truly oustanding. The entire album is recorded live, but the band sounds much tighter than they did on their previous effort, Remember Two Things. I remember purchasing this at my first DMB concert and being truly floored by the violent power and intensity of "Halloween"... this song will scare you. And you will love it! Equally rocking is their cover of Dylan's classic tune "All Along The Watchtower." Dave's growls will send you looking for a mosh pit, and Leroi's first breathy then shrieking tenor sax solo seems too good to be improvised. These heavy hitters are perfectly complimented by beautiful acoustic renditions of Nancies and Warehouse, two of the band's greatest songs (featuring Dave on vocals and rhythm guitar and Tim Reynolds playing leads). First but not least is "Recently", which is the same version as the Remember Two Things track but about three minutes shorter. Though jamming is one of the things Dave Matthews Band does best, this song works better as a bouncy 4 minute ditty rather than an awkward jam that doesn't lead very far into the realms of emotion. This album is a must have for any Dave Matthews fan, casual or obsessive.

This Cd is definetely worth the price. The version of Recently is very good, I think better than the Remember 2 Things one, but not as good as Red Rocks. Dancing Nancies is subdued, but still powerful. Perhaps the weak point on the album is Warehouse. This song is one of my DMB favorites, but here it lacks the intensity that is so key to its success. The version of Watchtower is the best that I have heard to date. Finally, Hallloween is twice as good as it is on Before these Crowded Streets. Carter's drumming is right on, and Dave's vocals are simply amazing. Overall, the only real problem with this is that it has too few songs.

Good early DMB
This CD is good considering that it was made when the band was pretty young. Certainly not up to quality of their more recent work, but good none the less.

Great, but not essential.
For casual and diehard fans alike, a five-song EP is a bit too skimpy, especially considering that this is DMB in concert. Read more
