Dave Matthews performed another new song in at his solo performance in London this evening. The setlist on paper included a mean encore of Warehouse, Crush, Ants/Everyday Save Me, but was replaced by a new song, "I Won't Give It Away" and Everyday.

People coming back from the show are reporting that Dave mentioned that the guys were going back into the studio soon and also that he had not given a name to "I Won't Give It Away," so that can be considered a tentative title for the tune.

Here's a quote from tolsy who attended the show:

"Yeah was a really good night. 500 people there but felt a lot less. [Dave] said he just wanted to rock up to the UK and play without all the advertising and promoting going around. Five years since he last played in england. His story from when he was here last was so funny ("who is Dave Matthews").
got a feeling he might be back in the summer - fingers crossed. crowd was good. A lot of Americans, Kiwi's, Aussies, South Africans and yup you guessed it not a lot of British."

A partial of the Ayhee, the new song performed on the Dave and Friends Cruise was performed after Dave told a story attributing the chorus to an African tribe.

Reports from the show indicate that it was taped by at least one person. Apparently Dave also gave the impression that there would be a Dave Matthews Band European Tour on the horizon.

Dave Matthews, I Won't Give It Away Lyrics

When I was a kid,
Put a Ciggarette out on my hand.
Didnt want my friends to see that I wanted to scream so I laughed.
I wont give it away that I'm just so afraid,
I wont give it away Im hide out in my head
The Hunger steals the evening,
I just want to get lost get lost
and it feeds the fool that I play,
to much is never enough
Just wish I could belive that God is watching over me
When I'm dead when I'm dead there aint no heaven or hell waitin for me
Oohh oohh I give it all away
Man I'm just so afraid
So I wont give it away
I'll Just hide out in my head
All my blessings remain
Uncounted and then
When I start adding them together
What I was counting was gone, gone
I wont give it away
Oh I' just so afraid
I wont give it away
I kneel with the preist and I pray
But I still want you if you would have me
I still call you my one and only, my one and only
Oohh oohh I give it all away
I hope you get the very best of me
And when I give it all away
You get the good and the bad, bad, bad
Bad, bad, bad
