Pantala Naga Pampa
"Pantala Naga Pampa" is the first track on the Dave Matthews Band's album, ''Before These Crowded Streets''. The song was the shortest track recorded by the band in the studio (until " bkdkdkdd" was released on the 2018 album '' Come Tomorrow'') and was based on an old live song known as "What Will Become of Me?" part of which can be heard at the end of " Jimi Thing" on Matthews and Tim Reynolds' album, ''Live at Luther College''. When performed live, the song regularly segues into "Rapunzel," just as it does on the studio recording. This can be heard on ''Listener Supported''. In 2024, the band started experimenting by playing the song into songs other than Rapunzel, while playing Rapunzel standalone later in the set. A band representative told a band fan site in 2002 that the phrase "pantala naga pampa" is believed by the band to mean "I have a snake in my pants" in colloquial Tamil Tamil may refer to: People, culture and language * Tamils, an ethno-linguistic group native ...

Tim Reynolds
Tim Reynolds (born 15 December 1957) is an American guitarist and multi-instrumentalist known as both a solo artist and as lead guitarist for the Dave Matthews Band. AllMusic critic MacKenzie Wilson has called Reynolds "an under-rated master". Reynolds plays the guitar, piano, sitar, drums, violin, bass, keyboards, ethnic percussive instruments, solo djembe, harp, uses drum machines for special effects, and sings, although his performances are primarily instrumental rock music. As well as being the founding member of the band TR3, while he was a regular performer at Miller's, a bar in Charlottesville, Virginia, he befriended and encouraged the bartender, a young Dave Matthews, to form a band of his own, introducing him to local musicians, several of whom make up the Dave Matthews Band. While Reynolds long declined the offer to join as an official member, he recorded and toured as a sideman with the Dave Matthews Band from its inception until late 1998, joining them as a permane ...

''Listener Supported'' was also the first live release to feature keyboardist Butch Taylor and "The Lovely Ladies" on vocals. In addition to songs from each of their RCA studio albums, ''Listener Supported'' features the previously unr ...
