===Early 2000s=== [[File:Dave Matthews Band - Close Up Melbourne 2005.jpg|thumb|upright|Dave Matthews, Boyd Tinsley, and Butch Taylor in Melbourne during their first tour of Australia]] In 2000, DMB set up their own recording studio at a large countryside home outside Charlottesville. With longtime producer Lillywhite at the helm, the band began work on a fourth studio album. The songs were heavily influenced by personal conflicts, notably the death of Matthews's uncle from alcoholism. In October 2000, an energized Matthews began writing with [[Glen Ballard]], most famous for his work with [[Alanis Morissette]]. The rest of DMB (along with special guest [[Carlos Santana]]) soon joined Matthews in a Los Angeles studio and quickly recorded ''[[Everyday (Dave Matthews Band album)|Everyday]]''. While the album gave the band a fresh start, Ballard's production, which featured a pop-rock music sound and no songs over 4:43, was very different from the acoustic sound and long jams that the albums produced by Steve Lillywhite featured (only 8 of the 35 tracks on the previous three albums were under 4:43). Carter Beauford has said that the album was a product of Matthews and Ballard and that it did not showcase the rest of the band.{{Citation needed|date=March 2009}} The February 27, 2001, release of ''Everyday'' was a huge commercial success. The singles "[[I Did It (Dave Matthews Band song)|I Did It]]", [[Everyday (Dave Matthews Band song)|"Everyday"]], and "[[The Space Between]]" all charted on many [[Billboard charts|''Billboard'' charts]], including the Hot 100.<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/dave-matthews-band/chart-history|title=Dave Matthews Band Chart History|magazine=Billboard}}</ref> In March 2001, the Lillywhite studio sessions from the previous year were leaked over the internet. The tracks spread quickly over established channels like [[Napster]]. Collectively known as ''[[The Lillywhite Sessions]]'', the tracks were lauded by both the fan base and the popular press. After critical comparison of the two albums, fans who were less pleased with ''Everyday''<nowiki/>'s more electric sound were frustrated with the band's decision to scrap the work of ''The Lillywhite Sessions''.{{Citation needed|date=March 2009}} Many of the songs from ''The Lillywhite Sessions'' would, however, eventually be officially released. In response to overwhelming fan support, coupled with a popular and widely publicized online campaign known as the ''Release Lillywhite Recordings Campaign'', DMB returned to the studio in 2002 to record ''[[Busted Stuff]]''. Produced by [[Stephen Harris (producer)|Stephen Harris]], the recording engineer who worked under Lillywhite on previous albums, the resulting album provided new treatments of much of the ''Lillywhite Sessions''{{'}} material, along with newly written songs "You Never Know" and the single "[[Where Are You Going]]", which was subsequently used in the movie ''[[Mr. Deeds]]''. ''Busted Stuff'' hit the shelves on July 16, 2002. During these two years the band released two live albums. The first, ''[[Live in Chicago 12.19.98]]'', features [[Tim Reynolds]] on guitar as well as many other special guests such as bassist [[Victor Wooten]], guitarist [[Mitch Rutman]], and saxophonist [[Maceo Parker]]. The second, ''[[Live at Folsom Field, Boulder, Colorado]]'', highlights songs from both ''Everyday'' and ''Busted Stuff'' and was released as both a CD and a DVD.
