Dave Matthews Band - Live Trax, Vol. 65 - 1997-06-12 - Great Woods, Mansfield, MA (2024)

In the Summer of 1997 Dave Matthews Band was no doubt still celebrating the success of their sophomore major label effort, Crash, and the Grammy win for So Much To Say. This momentum continued into a tour that included Bela Fleck and the Flecktones as openers. Bela himself was a regular fixture on stage, guesting on tunes that included Crash Into Me, Typical Situation, Minarets and Ants Marching. Also featured on this tour was a Dave solo encore work in progress, Leave Me Praying, which later became Don’t Drink the Water, the first single off the band’s next album.
