Dave Matthews Band

On June 28, 2008, the Dave Matthews Band performed 'Sledgehammer' live at the Nissan Pavilion, a show that would later be featured in their 'Live Trax Vol. 14' release in 2009. This period in their career came after the release of 'Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King' in 2009, which marked a significant moment as it was their first studio album following the death of band member LeRoi Moore. The energy in this live recording reflects both the band's resilience and the evolution of their sound, blending rock, jazz, and folk influences. Enthusiastic fans packed the Nissan Pavilion, creating an unforgettable atmosphere that showcased the Band's ability to connect deeply with their audience. The live rendition of 'Sledgehammer' is a testament to their dynamic performance style, underlining why they're often celebrated as an iconic live band.
