Dave Matthews Band made a rare trip to Maine on Friday for a concert at Bangor’s Maine Savings Amphitheater. While many debuts were expected as part of the band’s ongoing summer tour due to the release of new album Walk Around The Moon, DMB premiered an original tentatively titled “Only Takes A Moment” in Bangor that doesn’t appear on their 10th studio effort or any previous LPs.

The debut came 14 songs into DMB’s 20-song Friday night concert in Bangor. Dave Matthews addressed the crowd and noted they would hear plenty of new material from Walk Around The Moon. “But then, we have this one song that we never put on a record of anything and we never played it before,” Matthews explained. “If we fuck it up, y’all won’t know,” Dave added.

“It’s real small and we hope you like it,” the frontman continued. “Maybe you can come up with a name for it?” The octet went on to perform the groovy song listed on “Only Takes A Moment” on the band’s official website. Alternately, the title appeared as “Cha Cha” on the printed setlist for Friday’s show. The tune was played again on Saturday at Boston area venue Xfinity Center where once again it was listed on DaveMatthewsBand.com as “Only Takes A Moment” and on the stage setlist as “Cha Cha.”

The song dates back at least seven years. “Cha Cha” was registered for copyright on October 19, 2016 as pointed out on fansite DMBAlmanac.com. View fan-shot video of DMB premiering “Only Takes A Moment”/”Cha Cha” below:

Dave Matthews Band took the stage for their third concert at the Bangor, Maine outdoor amphitheater about an hour late on Friday due to rain. The venue was previously known as Darling’s Waterfront Pavilion when the group played there in 2014 and 2016.

The octet looked to Before These Crowded Streets in kicking off the night with the third “Pig” of the tour. A rare “JTR” followed before DMB began alternating new tunes and classics. The title track, “The Only Thing,” “It Could Happen,” “After Everything” and “Something To Tell My Baby” were the Walk Around The Moon cuts played in Bangor. Old favorites included “Dancing Nancies,” “Warehouse,” “The Best Of What’s Around” and “Grey Street” as well as the run of “So Much To Say” into “Anyone Seen The Bridge” into “Too Much” that closed the main set.

After opening the encore with a solo “Something To Tell My Baby,” Dave Matthews was joined by the rest of the band for “Gravedigger” and “Shake Me Like A Monkey.” Friday marked the first time “Gravedigger” appeared in the encore of a DMB show since September 16, 2011. The tour resumes this coming Friday, June 23 in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania. Tune in to SiriusXM’s Dave Matthews Band Radio for a live broadcast as part of the Friday Night Concert Series.
