Crucial.

Crucial formed in a Nashville apartment during the Gore campaign in the summer of 2000. Since that time, performances have been rare and the band members have found little time to practice together. To quiet their critics and fans, Crucial recently returned to the stage for a very special performance.

Fans and friends joined Crucial for their reunion "Speed of Sound" show in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, February 26, 2005. In Crucial's most polished public performance to date, the band played several fan favorites and added a few classic covers into the set list. An impressive crowd packed the venue.

NEW VIDEO: Watch video of the band's entrance and the first song performed at the February 2005 show, 'Keep Your Hands To Yourself.' See below for several new live audio recordings.

Crucial are:

  • Sean McLaughlin - guitar, vocals
  • Shawn Lynch - guitar, vocals
  • Aaron Myers - harmonica, mandolin
  • Jeff Williams - percussion
