On November 9, 1993, DMB released its first album, Remember Two Things, on its Bama Rags label,[16] later re released by RCA in 1997.[17] Live songs on the album were recorded at The Flood Zone in Richmond, Virginia on August 10, 1993, and The Muse Music Club on Nantucket Island on August 16–18, 1993.[citation needed] The album debuted on college charts as the highest independent entry, and went on to be certified platinum by the RIAA in 2002 [18] — a significant accomplishment for an independent album. Meanwhile, the band kept touring and its fan base continued to grow. By allowing fans to tape shows for their personal use, DMB created a highly interactive community that continues to this day. Only recently has the band had to take legal action against some bootleggers who sell recordings of their concerts at a profit — something the DMB trading community also abhors
