On July 25, 2023, the Ameris Bank Amphitheatre in Alpharetta, Ga., witnessed a night to remember as the Dave Matthews Band delivered a memorable performance enriched by the musical brilliance of special guest Chuck Leavell. The former Allman Brothers keyboardist and longtime Rolling Stones sideman graced the stage in his home state for three songs from his prior outfits.

While this marked Leavell’s first time sitting in with Dave Matthews Band, he is no stranger to the band’s frontman, Dave Matthews – the two have previously collaborated during Matthews’ guest appearances with The Rolling Stones. Furthermore, Leavell and Dave Matthews Band’s bassist Stefan Lessard also worked with Gov’t Mule, adding camaraderie to the evening. The show, as a whole, featured an impressive repertoire that seamlessly blended songs from Leavell’s esteemed bands, the Allman Brothers and the Rolling Stones, with Dave Mattews Band numbers.
