Song History
This song was originally known as "41 Police," a name derived from a combination of its being the forty-first song Dave wrote and its sounding like a Police song. "Police" was most likely not intended to be a final name for the song but rather a way of identifying it from other songs when it was new (see also "40 Always").

After being perfected during the studio recording sessions of Crash, #41 came to be the most played song of 1996 and an instant classic. When Béla Fleck and the Flecktones guested on the song on NYE 1996, a marriage was made between #41 and the Flecktones song "Sojourn of Arjuna". Since then #41-Sojourn has become a tradition between DMB and the Flecktones whenever they play together. The Flecktones have even played a bit of #41 during their own performances of Sojourn of Arjuna.

#41 has been played every year since its debut and has been a regular feature of both Dave Matthews Band and Dave & Tim setlists, with the exception of 2006, when it was a relative rarity.
