Yes it is, and it was named by Fenton Williams. Fenton put that name down. Dave has even called the song that. There is a radio broadcast from the early 90s of him talking about how he loved the name Baboon Farm. Also, if you listen to the most popular version of Heathcliff's, Dave says that the song has no name, and if anyone hears any words they like to go back and tell Fenton it for suggestions. Both names were Fenton's ideas.
I'm blown away! Some fans say in blogs that DMB "grew and developed into an amazing band." But seeing this video which is by the way the earliest performance I've ever seen by DMB, speaks volumes of a sound and talent that can NOT be unrated nor denied. No wonder they had such a following. I'd follow them too. Also, it's a sight to see the 'brothers' pre-dreadlock days and Dave donning his afro. Go Soul Brother! This band WAS "formed from the hands of Angels and trickled into the ground..."
Everyone's commented on this saying how good each person's performance is... this is what makes this version so special. they're all working together and are doing it so well... beautiful.
Good memories. I lived in Richmond from 1992-1997 and saw DMB at the Flood zone and TRAX in Charlottesville. They were so awesome and very accessible-- they were playing all over VA at the time, but we all knew that we were watching something big unfold....
Boyd's solo is absolutely unbelievable - smooth and gorgeous. And, obviously, Roi rocks it. I was so lucky to hear a partial back in 2003... I hope I get to hear this at one of my shows this year!
I love the huge crescendo in this one. Can somebody get Dave a bigger shirt though?
BEST version of this song. Love it all these years later.
i feel that the audience knows they are watching something special, something thats going to be big.
Boyd's greatest moment ever.
This version is priceless. I've probably listened to it 100 times.
DMB in the early to mid 90s was so good. I especially loved when they had the digital piano sound behind them

Such an emotional frigging song. I love how Peter Greisar is there, a real throwback. They need to bring this song back!!
What an amazing song. I can't believe they never recorded it on an album and barely ever played it.
We were so young....
This is incredible, classic old school DMB. Great sound, Jam and closure, just awesome.
Madly in love with this.
What tha F... Great, great song, I´m speechless.
All. Time. Favorite. Have listened to this recording or another for decades.
Beautiful. Simply beautiful. So pure they sound and Dave's voice, my gosh. Boyd makes me want to relearn the violin all over again.

So that's what a legend looks like. Thank you so much.
