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.

Set I saw the 1st public performance of The Mango Song in more than a year (since 5/17/92). Maze included teases of 2001 and some megaphone vocalizations by Trey. Glide featured Trey and Mike skating on their Slide Board Balance Trainers. Fish called for “more lighters!” during Purple Rain. Free Bird was performed with microphones.

He settled in America in 1967. The music on this disc embraces contrasting moods, each imbued with Ma Sicong’s abiding love for his homeland and combining Chinese inspiration with Western musical techniques. Shortly after composing the Rondo No. 4 he wrote this heartbreaking entry in his diary: ‘When can I end my exile? Nobody knows.’
