Dave Matthews Band

In July 1997, Dave Matthews Band performed 'Leave Me Praying' at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, and it’s a gem that captures their live energy perfectly. At this point in their career, the band had just released their second studio album, 'Crash,' which had taken the music world by storm with hits like 'Crash Into Me' and 'Satellite.' This live recording, part of the 'Live Trax Vol. 17' release in 2010, showcases their signature blend of rock, jazz, and a bit of folk, incredible improvisation, and intimacy that resonates through every note. Interestingly, 1997 was a pivotal year for them, marking a transition to stadium-level popularity. 'Leave Me Praying' is not just a song; it's a pulse of the crowd, bringing a sense of connection that defined their performances during this magical era.
