Remember Two Things was the Dave Matthews Band's first full-length album, released on November 9, 1993, on the band's own Bama Rags label without any help from a major. It's a snapshot of a young band caught partly onstage: live recordings sit side by side with studio tracks, so you get the loose, stretched-out energy of a jam alongside the tidier versions.
The sound is limber, rootsy rock with a lot of rhythmic bounce, the songs twisting and swaying rather than just marching forward, and there's an easy warmth to it that explains why people kept coming back. "Ants Marching" is the jittery, driving one, "Satellite" is gentle and intricate, and "Tripping Billies" kicks up its heels. Plenty of what's here went on to become fixtures of the band's live sets for years afterward.
RCA gave the album a wider release on June 24, 1997, and it went platinum in 2002. After it came the Recently EP.
