Dave Matthews Band

On July 10, 2010, Dave Matthews Band performed "Why I Am" at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, capturing a moment in their career that was punctuated by the release of their album 'Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King' the year prior. This album, which dropped in 2009, marked a significant phase for the band as it was their first studio release after the death of their founding member, saxophonist LeRoi Moore. The poignant undertones of their live performance that night resonated with fans, showcasing not only their musical evolution but also their capacity to channel grief into artistry. It's interesting to note that this concert was part of their extensive touring cycle, which often included extended improvisations and a blend of musical styles, weaving together jazz, rock, and folk influences that define their unique sound. Each live show, like this one, offered fresh interpretations of their songs, keeping the DMB experience vibrant and engaging for fans.
