Dave Matthews Band

In September 2011, when the Dave Matthews Band played #41 live at The Gorge Amphitheatre, they were fresh off their album 'Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King,' released in 2009. This album marked a pivotal moment for the band, its success breathing new life into their career after the tragic passing of their saxophonist, LeRoi Moore, in 2008. 'Big Whiskey' is notable for its rich, intricate sound, blending rock, jazz, and folk elements, which reflects their evolution since the early days. When performing #41, the band brought a unique energy, with crowd-pleasing variations that highlighted their improvisational prowess, a hallmark of their live performances. This venue, known for its stunning views and stellar acoustics, created a magical backdrop, enhancing the emotional resonance of their music during that unforgettable night.
