live album and video release by theDave Matthews Band from a 2007benefit concert inAtlanta, Georgia . The concert was held at Atlanta'sPiedmont Park in front of an audience of over 50,000 people to raise over US $1 million of a US $42.5 million project to expand 53acre s of the city's park. [cite press release |title= Dave Matthews Band to headline benefit at Atlanta's Piedmont Park on September 8th |publisher= Piedmont Park Conservatory |date=2007-05-30 |url= http://www.piedmontpark.org/pdf/dmb_benefit_press_release.pdf |format= PDF |accessdate=2007-10-26 ] Also performing that day were theAllman Brothers Band . The performance featured guest appearances byWarren Haynes andGregg Allman on "What Would You Say " and "Melissa," respectively. The concert featured many old songs such as "Don't Drink the Water" and "Two Step", but also introduced the first recording of three new songs: "#27", "Cornbread", and "Eh Hee ".The concert was performed the day after band saxophonist
Leroi Moore 's 46th birthday. Matthews, the band, and the audience serenade Moore with an apparently spontaneous rendition of "Happy Birthday to You " following the performance of "One Sweet World ." The moment is especially poignant in light of Moore's tragic and untimely death the following year.CD track listing
