Dave Matthews Band

In September 1999, when the Dave Matthews Band performed "Two Step" at the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey, they were riding high on the success of their album "Before These Crowded Streets," which was released earlier that year in April. This album marked a significant moment in their career, as it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and featured a more mature sound with an incorporation of diverse musical influences. The live performance of "Two Step" was notable as it was part of a PBS special titled "Listener Supported," showcasing their growing popularity and exceptional musicianship. This era was pivotal for the band, solidifying their reputation not just as a studio band but as a compelling live act, known for their improvisational prowess and energetic performances. Furthermore, the year 1999 was a transitional period for the band, as they began to attract a broader audience, leading to extensive national and international tours.
