Dave Matthews Band

In the fall of 2010, the Dave Matthews Band was riding high on the success of their album 'Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King,' which had been released in 2009. This live performance of 'Squirm' at the Times Union Center in Albany showcases the band at a pivotal moment in their career, just before they entered a brief hiatus in 2011. Interestingly, this period marked a time of significant experimentation for the band, including incorporating more orchestral elements in their music. 'Big Whiskey' was a heartfelt tribute to their late saxophonist, LeRoi Moore, adding emotional depth to their live shows. The energy during this concert reflects not just their musical prowess but also a sense of community with fans who had supported them through personal and professional challenges. It’s a testament to how live recordings capture those fleeting, electric moments that define a concert experience.
