Dave Matthews Band

In September 1999, during a pivotal phase in their career, Dave Matthews Band performed live at the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey. This performance of "#40" was part of the PBS special "In The Spotlight" and occurred just after the release of their album "Before These Crowded Streets" in April of the same year. This album showcased the band's evolving sound, blending rich instrumentation and introspective lyrics, and included hits like "Crush" and "Stay (Wasting Time)." By this point, the band had solidified their huge following, riding the wave of their flourishing popularity in the late '90s. Notably, the band was known for their exceptional live performances, and they often extended songs like "#40" with improvisational jams, making each show a unique experience for fans.
