NEW YORK (Billboard) - Dave Matthews Band's September 9-12 stand at Colorado's famed Red Rocks Amphitheater, which included a benefit that raised $1.5 million for hurricane victims, will be commercially available beginning November 29 in a variety of formats.

"Weekend on the Rocks" is a two-CD/one-DVD package comprised of highlights from the shows, while "The Complete Weekend on the Rocks" features all four performances on eight physical CDs and a DVD or via digital download.

Fans who pre-order the items via DMB's official store (http://www.dmband.com) will be entered to win a Red Rocks poster personalized and autographed by Matthews. Ten runners-up will receive autographed copies of the nine-disc "Weekend."

The two-CD edition blends new material like "American Baby," "Steady As We Go," "Hunger for the Great Light" and "Louisiana Bayou" with guest Robert Randolph on pedal steel with old favorites such as "Recently," "Don't Burn the Pig," "Halloween" and "#41." A cover of the Zombies' "Time of the Season" is also included.

The DVD features several songs not found on the two-CD "Weekend," including "Crash Into Me," "So Much To Say," "Jimi Thing" and "Too Much."

Separately, Dave Matthews Band will begin a brief tour November 26 in Minneapolis, while Matthews will anchor the first Dave Matthews & Friends Caribbean Cruise Getaway in February.
