Dave Matthews Solo Performance of The Stone, Bartender, and Don't Drink The Water at KFOQ Studio

Venue: Shoreline Amphitheatre Location: Mountain View, California, United States Date: July 10, 1999

In July 1999, Dave Matthews Band was riding high on the success of their album 'Before These Crowded Streets,' released just a few months prior. This live performance at the KFOG studio features David Matthews in a more intimate, stripped-down format, showcasing his songwriting prowess in tracks like 'Bartender' and 'Don't Drink the Water.' It's fascinating to think about how the band's sound was evolving during this time, blending rich storytelling with intricate musicianship. Interestingly, 'Before These Crowded Streets' marked a significant point in their career, with its darker themes and orchestral arrangements, setting a tone different from their earlier work. This performance captures a moment where the band was not just popular but also deeply exploring new musical territory.
