On Tuesday, the road crew for the Dave Matthews Band posted this statement in the "Road" section of the Dave Matthews Band Web site:
"After his first full day of recovery, we're learning that his condition is improving. Dave and Carter spent a few hours at his side this morning, laughing together and talking. He's alert and cracking jokes already. They commented on how much they were heartened and excited after leaving the hospital, knowing that he's going to be alright. Dave announced to the audience tonight 'He was beat up real good, but he's going to be fine.'"
