==Live collaborations==

Throughout the years that the song has been performed live, the band has featured many guests to join them on stage and jam out the song, usually averaging around 15–20 minutes of play time, however sometimes longer. On [[New Year's Eve]] 1996, the band featured guests [[Béla Fleck]], [[Victor Wooten]], [[Futureman]] and [[PaulJeff McCandlessCoffin]], who make up the [[jazz]] fusion band, [[Béla Fleck and the Flecktones]]. During the live performance of "#41," an interpolation of the Flecktones' song "Sojourn of Arjuna" was played live for the first time. Interpolations of "Sojourn of Arjuna," featured on the Flecktones' album, ''[[Left of Cool]]'', would be played during future live performances of "#41" featuring guest appearances by Flecktones members. (This began to occur more frequently during the band's 2008 summer tour after longtime Flecktones member [[Jeff Coffin]] replaced the late [[LeRoi Moore]] as the band's saxophonist.)

Since the song's debut, Dave Matthews Band has played "#41" live over 500 times, occasionally featuring the [[Béla Fleck and the Flecktones|Flecktones]] as musical guests. Currently, the longest live performance of "#41" is also the band's longest performance of any song, and was played on April 20, 2002 at the former [[Scotiabank Place|Corel Centre]] in [[Kanata, ON|Kanata]], [[Ontario]], [[Canada]]. The jam featured all of the Flecktones and lasted for 32 minutes and 3 seconds. This performance was later released on the bonus disc for ''[[The Best of What's Around Vol. 1]]''.
