Watch reunited Tripping Daisy band perform for the first time in nearly 20 years in Dallas

For the first time in 18 years, Tripping Daisy took the stage in Dallas. The band, one of North Texas' most popular groups in the '90s, became known for its single "I Got A Girl." It disbanded after the death of guitar player Wes Berggren in late 1999.

And like that, Tripping Daisy was done.

Frontman Tim DeLaughter never really planned on getting the band back together, and instead started the band Polyphonic Spree.
