Dave Matthews Band

The live recording of "Grey Street" from the Central Park Concert on September 24, 2003, captures a pivotal moment in the Dave Matthews Band's career. At this time, the band had recently released their album "Busted Stuff" in July 2002, which was a critical and commercial success, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. This album was a return to form after the fallout with their previous release, "The Lillywhite Sessions," showcasing an array of songs reflecting the band's signature blend of rock, jazz, and folk influences. The performance in Central Park not only drew a massive audience, solidifying their status as a cultural phenomenon but also showcased their vibrant live sound. Notably, this concert was part of a larger trend of outdoor summer shows that solidified their reputation as one of the premier live bands of their time, culminating in the release of "The Central Park Concert" album later in 2003.
