End of Album

"Two Step" was the fifth and final single from the Dave Matthews Band album Crash. It failed to chart well. When played live, the song has an extended jam session tacked onto the end of it. This can be heard on the album The Central Park Concert. Another live version can be heard on the second disc of The Best of What's Around Vol. 1, performed at Giants Stadium on June 11, 2001. This performance has come to be known as the "lightning show" among tape traders, because during the encore performance of "Two Step", a severe lightning storm hit the area, pelting concert-goers with hail, and temporarily blacking out Giants Stadium except for the stage.[1]

It should also be noted, however, that while Two Step failed to chart well upon its release as a single, the popularity of this song while being performed live grew exponentially. It is often used to close a show. The lyrics at the beginning of each live performance change, often to reflect things such as weather or guest musicians.
