Dave Matthews Band

In the fall of 1999, Dave Matthews Band had recently released their acclaimed album "Before These Crowded Streets," which hit shelves in April of that year. This was a pivotal moment for the band; their sound was evolving, incorporating more complex themes and sophisticated arrangements. The live recording of 'Long Black Veil' from September 11, 1999, showcased not just their emotive performance style but also signaled their prominent rise in the music scene. This particular concert was part of a PBS special, presenting a snapshot of their electrifying live presence. A fun fact: this recording came just before they would go on to solidify their status as a top-tier act with their later albums, fueled by passionate fans and their distinct blend of rock, jazz, and world music influences.
