Dave Matthews Band

In October 1997, while Dave Matthews Band played 'Two Step' at Farm Aid, they were riding high on the success of their album 'Crash,' released just a few months prior. This pivotal album, which featured hits like 'Crash Into Me' and 'Too Much,' marked a significant moment in their career, catapulting them into mainstream recognition. It was a time when their distinctive blend of rock, jazz, and folk was really starting to resonate with a wider audience. The live performance at a charity event like Farm Aid was emblematic of their commitment to social issues, alongside music legends like Willie Nelson and Neil Young. Interestingly, this performance showcases not just their musical prowess but also their connection to the grassroots movements of the time, blending artistry with activism.
