Halfway through the ten-minute version of "Bartender" — one of the highlights of this two-disc live document from summer 2001 — the Dave Matthews Band settles into a calm, shimmering groove, and Matthews begins to murmur — he toys with a line, then discards it, then reaches up and flutters into his falsetto. The rest of the band members follow, and pretty soon they arrive at one of the glorious swells that have become their trademark. Those eruptions happened frequently during the Folsom Field show, but what lifts this live release to "essential" status for fans is the chance to hear sweeping epics such as "Bartender" and "Big Eyed Fish" before the group returned to the studio to record them for its last album, Busted Stuff.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
