Dave Matthews Band Announce New Live LP ‘Take Me Back Live from the Gorge,’ Featuring Full Historic Delivery of ‘Before These Crowded Streets’ with Béla Fleck and Jake SimpsonCredit: Sanjay SuchakGrammy Award winners and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recipients, Dave Matthews Band, have announced the release of their new live album, Take Me Back Live from the Gorge, recorded during their 2025 Labor Day weekend concert series at the Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington state. The landmark three-day event marked the first time the ensemble had performed Before These Crowded Streets in full, a central focus of the new LP, available digitally on Feb. 6, and on vinyl starting May 22. For this record, the band presents their Saturday, August 30, 2025 performance, a striking 95-minute set that emphasizes the contents of 1998’s Before These Crowded Streets, Dave Matthews Band’s third studio album. Subsequently, the next moves account for Before These Crowded Streets’ opener, “Pantala Naga Pampa,” which has been flexed and stretched and pocked with instrumental crevices. News of the impending live album arrives right after the band announced their annual return to the Gorge Amphitheatre on Sept. 4-6, 2026, as a part of their headlining summer tour.
