Dave Matthews is non-threateningly coming at you … in 3D
If you were one of the tens of thousands to make the pilgrimage to the Austin City Limits Music Festival this year, you might have noticed the several-stories-tall, highly advanced 3D cameras set up near the Livestrong stage. AEG Network Live, inconcert3d and Action 3D Productions shot footage throughout the festival with the same style of high-definition digital 3D camera used for this season’s movie releases “A Christmas Carol” and “Avatar.”
You’ll get the chance to check out the fruits of their labor Dec. 11 to 17, when 3D theaters nationwide screen “Larger Than Live… in 3D.” The film is composed of portions of three 2009 sets from three big outdoor music festivals — the Dave Matthews Band at Austin City Limits, Ben Harper and the Relentless 7 at the Mile High Music Festival in Commerce City, Colo., and Gogol Bordello at All Points West Music & Arts Festival in Jersey City, N.J.
The film is the first in a planned series of concert films, with best-of editions covering both ACL and Lollapalooza in the works for 2010. The trailer is available online. AEG was also behind the recent Michael Jackson concert film “This Is It.”
Information about specific theaters screening the film will be announced in the next few weeks — but since the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum’s IMAX theater screened the major 3D concert film, “U23D,” that seems a likely possibility.

Ugh… of all the acts at ACL they choose Dave Matthews. I don’t even want to see him in 1D, much less 3D.
Now, Gogol Bordello might be fun to see in 3D!
