The band released their first live [[Extended play|EP]], ''[[Recently (EP)|Recently]]'', in 1994. The album's five tracks were taken from shows performed at [[The Birchmere]] in [[Alexandria, Virginia]], and from [[Trax (nightclub)|Trax]] in [[Charlottesville, Virginia|Charlottesville]]. ''Recently'' was re-released by [[RCA Records]] in 1997.

On September 27, 1994, DMB released their debut studio album, ''[[Under the Table and Dreaming]]'', featuring their first commercial hits "[[What Would You Say]]" (featuring [[John Popper]] of [[Blues Traveler]] on harmonica), "[[Satellite (Dave Matthews Band song)|Satellite]]", and "[[Ants Marching]]". The album was dedicated "In memory of Anne" for Matthews's older sister Anne, who was killed by her husband in 1994 in a [[murder–suicide]]. ''Under the Table and Dreaming'' brought the band worldwide fame and was eventually certified six-times platinum.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.classicrockreview.com/2014/05/1994-dmb-under-table-dreaming/|title=Under the Table and Dreaming &#124; Classic Rock Review|date=May 23, 2014}}</ref>

By 1997, DMB reached unparalleled levels of popularity across the United States and, to some degree, the world. On October 28, 1997, the band released their first full-length live album, ''[[Live at Red Rocks 8.15.95]]''. The album was recorded at [[Red Rocks Amphitheatre]] in [[Morrison, Colorado]], and featured popular songs from the band's first three albums and longtime collaborator [[Tim Reynolds]] on electric guitar.

In late 1997, the band returned to the studio with producer [[Steve Lillywhite]] and an array of guest collaborators, including Reynolds, [[banjo]]ist [[Béla Fleck]], vocalist [[Alanis Morissette]], future touring band member [[Butch Taylor]], Chapman Stick player [[Greg Howard (musician)|Greg Howard]], and the [[Kronos Quartet]]. They composed and recorded ''[[Before These Crowded Streets]]'', their third album with RCA, released on April 28, 1998. The album represented a great change in direction for the band as they did not rely on upbeat hit singles to carry the album. "[[Stay (Wasting Time)]]", an uplifting gospel number, and "[[Crush (Dave Matthews Band song)|Crush]]", a love [[ballad (music)|ballad]], became popular along with the lead single, "[[Don't Drink the Water (Dave Matthews Band song)|Don't Drink the Water]]". Before These Crowded Streets was an instant commercial success, with over 900,000 albums sold worldwide in the first week.

The band took part in the [[Woodstock 1999|Woodstock '99]] concert during the summer. In the fall, it then released a third live album, ''[[Listener Supported]]''. The album, a live recording, used a show performed at the [[Continental Airlines Arena]] in [[East Rutherford, New Jersey]] on September 11, 1999, for a [[PBS]] television special. The album was also released as the band's first DVD. The year also provided two more Grammy nominations. From their recent album, they earned another [[Grammy Award for Best Rock Album|Best Rock Album]] nomination for ''Before These Crowded Streets'', and a [[Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals|Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals]] nomination for the song "Crush".
