25 years later and we're all arguing about ideal(s) that we all saw eye to eye on just because a few more people got retarded or gay or odd or whatever you wish to call it.
I was in college from 01-05. Dave was huge. I remember going to frat parties and cover bands jamming the fuck out of ant marching. It was a wonderful time to be alive in US
Those were some AWESOME years. Not much bullshit except Sept 11 but just before the real estate crash. Really solid times for fun without too much chaos in the world
@@RandomRabbit007 yeah not alot of chaos besides the full scale war going on in the middle east and our troops being deployed. what the fuck kind of bullshit are you even saying?
I was in college in the late 80's, early 90's. Played in a couple of bands. Had the privilege of opening alongside DMB in Athens at the Georgia Theatre. I think Blues Traveler and Widespread Panic were the main acts that night. Talk about good times.
I love how he gets lost in the music and flat out kills it. Most musicians wont/cant, do it like that in person. Story telling, Believability, Vocals, Guitar... 🔥
You're reaching by saying "most" musicians. There are tons of vocalists I can list off the top of my head that are as good or way better than Dave Matthews live.
@King Keltic Yes Sir! That's why I also chose some words carefully "Most". There's thousands/millions of musicians. In that particular setting (closed,tight), you'll be hard pressed to find someone outside the majority of musicians with the melodic greatness that was done here. It's my opinion though. I do respect yours.
Authentic is the exact word. And so damn talented...whew! Billy Strings is my newest obsession...authentic like Dave and definitely forging new ground. They remind me of each other 🙂
@@an5925 eh Billy Strings authentic ?? Try listening to Doc Watson, I think Billy is more a traditionalist as opposed to Dave Mathews , no one sounds like Dave Mathews, Billy to me sounds more like traditional blues grass or new grass is what they call it these days. Not saying he’s not good further from the truth, he’s gun blazing good and fun to watch perform he puts his all into the music
@@justinbourgeois4685 if your young, try to live with no regrets. I graduated 95 from high school, and I'd love to know then what I know now. Take chances. Don't be scared. And I mean that within the law
Dude i saw him sunday hes worlds better than he used to be whens the last time u seem him i was blown alway made me more than just a converted fan this man made the rest of the bands at ocean calling look like peasants which essentially they are yea dude been around puts on a fuckin show more than ever amd more polished singing wise more contagious energy soul wise im not sure wym
I agree. 90s were incredible for all genres. Pop, rock, metal, hip hop. They all involved real actual instruments being played. A far cry from todays garbage. All created on computers. No musicians needed. Just a Producer who doubles as a computer programmer…
Saw him Sunday do it whenever u get the chance he is honestly final form 10 times better now and a better showsman more polished more energy more fuckin wild tunes, i didnt like the much n show immidiately made me a bigg fan glazin m for their performance skills and different level they were on that was not expecting they just a live band fr ig still not the biggest fan of their studio stuff idk y tgey dont put the same into as live he seems to be much more lively n puts life in the song n solos/translations every least expected melody
The different way of looking at basic chords and finding unique substitutes is what gave his music such a unique originality along with his fascinating, intimate voice and lyrics. Glad we had people like him to enjoy growing up.
I first saw DM at the intermission of a blues traveler show in 1993. Nobody in the audience had ever heard of him a d at first everyone completely ignored him. Figured he was some random who john popper owed a favor to. By the end of his first song the entire audience was back in front of the stage and totally rapt. By the end of his third song the whole crowd was blown away. We were all wondering who is this guy and why have we never heard of him?
@@allstopblue5717 True - that doesn't mean these other artists aren't just as special. Music is personal. Some make it big by chance, by luck, by connections, by hard work, and skill. I think Dave got it by talent and hard work. Some don't care about making it big... It's just personal... I wouldt be surprised if Dave really cared much about success. I think he would of pressed on regardless...
Just wait til u see him live i neber liked m too much n saw him sunday it was un fuckin real how different level it was and a must see even for non fans like me will probably turn u into fans n simpin over the performance days later like me, gotta see him he’s better than ever idk y it feels like mist people actin like he a thing of the past or not the same, hes more polished better musician in e rry way pretty much especially energy n soul
Look up Ocean Calling festival live there’s already videos alot of it check it out altho wont be the same as being there gotta see that if u thought this was good was nothing he does this song too but for real
As I'm watching this now, I was thinking the same thing to myself. I never disliked Dave Matthews, but I just couldn't get into him. But I believe we come to appreciate certain things after time and experience. As my love and appreciation for music continues to grow, so does my palette for all types of different artists. ✌🏾
He better than evef too saw him sunday blew my mind and made me a bigfan from not, as a musician been simping kver his talent and performance 🐐ness ever since just from one live changed everything i coulda cried was so perfect writing n chemistry of band
Safe to say im paying the money when it comes down to it no questions asked ima try n see him as much i can best concert/show i ever seen of imagined n ive seen alot
@@firelanderinoportarlino7437 as a guitarist of 25 years, this riff is very difficult. That's quite teh stretch to hold for bascially the entire song. Plus the timing is a bit odd on the strumming AND he's singing a completely different rhytem. Dude is talented ASF.
A lot guitarists make me go "Whoa!" Very few make me ask "How?" Dave makes me go "WTF." Impressive as that left hand can be, it's the right rhythm keeper that keeps the foundation so the rest can be built.
@@RWDtech I don’t understand your point? All singing is an act. Everyone practices singing to get it to sound nice or a certain way. People don’t practicing there talking voice in the same way. See my point?
Nah just saw him sunday hes even better now, hes got experience and hasnt digressed just fully shaped and evolved, he also signs much more comfortably and strongly with unmatched soul n energy which is the biggest difference hes a show to see back then now this guy puts on a show u wouldn’t believe
My husband and I have been fans of Dave ever since the album Under the Table and Dreaming came out in 1994. This performance occurred a week before my son was born. Hard to believe I've been a fan for over 26 years, and still love to hear him play. Long live DMB!
@@alexraia1377 yeah bro. not even pro guitarrist see it simple, but yo do. youre the type of guy who says that can beat and ufc fighter if u train 3 months; the type of guy that says he had a full beard at 13
I passed out at the horde festival in 96 and woke up when a band id never heard of started in on two step. I thought the song was good but my college roommate was blown away and went to the DMB solo show at the gorge the next year and game back raving about it. From 98-2003 we got a huge group together and went to all the gorge shows…they still stick in my head 20 years later because the energy was so incredibly hopeful and positive.
whew, ive been playing guitar about ten years and learned crash into me as soon as i heard the song, playing that lick over and over for the whole song really makes your hand ache! granted daves hands are a lot bigger than mine but its impressive how he can keep it up for so long.
I wish I would have known about him back then, was only 13 at the time, only really discovered Dave in the last 10 years or so, went to my first show last week and it was amazing! Thankful he is still touring!
I always loved Dave’s acoustic sets so much more than his studio stuff. Don’t get me wrong the studio stuff was amazing but the beauty of his singing and guitar playing can get lost. He’s such a force just with his guitar!
They a live band they shouldnt even bother with studio anymore since they are just that goated live its a million times better for some reason every song idk how it’s possible they cant capture the same energy in the studio or id be a fan long before saw them last weekend first time I could have gone forever without knowing their game fuckin gods, like what so caught off guard
Crash was the first song I ever played live. Looking back it was a tough choice and a song I still can't play well. I played it because I loved Dave so much. Don't listen to him much anymore but he's always there when I play live.
Just wrings out All Along the Watchtower off the cuff, like it's a simple practice exercise, ,and he fricking rocked it and put his signature vocal stamp on it. Dave's soul IS music!!!!!
Wow, what a flashback! Used to go to JMU and drive to Charlotte to see them PLAY!!! Makes me feel young and free😂 Thank you Band PEACE AND POWER FAMILY❤️✨
He sounds better Iive than the studio versions and that what makes him SO special!! I went to see him 10 straight years from 1998-2008 to see him during and after my college years at the Gorge In Washington state!!
The 90's really did it culturally. The music, the movies, the internet. Everything kind of came together perfectly.
And then the last 30 years happened....
Last Great Decade.
Nostalgia have probably blinded y’all. Every decade has gone through their own shitshow of problems
Sorry the internet is the worst thing ever. When the 90s ended so did humanity
25 years later and we're all arguing about ideal(s) that we all saw eye to eye on just because a few more people got retarded or gay or odd or whatever you wish to call it.
It’s so awesome to see someone doing exactly what they are meant to do.
Heard!
💯 man
*what a true complement!*
and doing it so well 💕
Even solo acoustic he is just transcendental.
Especially.
He is even better acoustic

My left hand is cramping up just watching this
This and Samurai Cop are the apex carpel tunnel songs 😂😂
No doubt, it’s a bitch to play the entirety of the song…
Yes! I've been playing this for 20 years and i can't get through the end, so i skip the last verse. Glad I'm not the only one!
🤣😂a true musician
61 62
This is an absolute GEM.
Before the Interweb...
Before social media...
Raw, uncut, a man and his guitar 🤟🏻🙏🏻👊🏻
It was an easier time …
I remember seeing the band in Georgetown Washington DC, early 90's. No cell phones either. Just pure band, and tape recorders.
Raw and uncut is crazy
😢
1996 was an awesome time to be alive!
This is what RUclips is for! What a gem of a now classic song.
I love how he is totally somewhere else when he plays. No audience, no cameras, no 300 thousand tv viewers, just Dave and his music.

@@kingkeltic4228Truth. I honestly find nothing great about him at all.
There are many who could probably sing or play better than Dave Matthews, but to write a song like this, that’s all Dave.

What an absolute beast of a performer… Always rock-solid.
YES
Peak Dave Mathews, was fire. :) not many people can pull of what this man did :)

Idk if I would call these basic chords though they are a complete pain to play
@RadioactiveSince1990x Pretty basic IMO. Nothing difficult for me there (and I'm a good guitarist - but certainly not a great one).
@@RadioactiveSince1990x I'd say that Dave takes basic chords and changes them to create his own chords, which can be pretty painful to play.
Flo, you‘re not playing. You’re painting. Beautiful. ❤

I was in college 98’-02’. Great time to be in college and alive.
Dave is a unique and talented writer/singer. Huge part of my life soundtrack. When you “get” his style,.. you can’t get enough. Thanks
His hand movement is insane, I love Dave..so talented and his voice alone is an instrument and it never goes out of tune
insane hand movement? I love Dave, but for this song hand is in the same position most of the song with the second finger changing the bass note

No matter how much I practice crash I still can’t stop my hand from cramping up. His chords are so complex.
been practicing it for over a year now, still hurts haha
Seems pretty simple to me. Keep practicing, you’ll get it.
His finger dexterity is unbelievable.

Talent is just oozing out of this guy every which way, so talented. Amazing. love this guy. Talent like this is fewer and fewer these days.
Say whatever you want about Dave, but this guy will never not be one with the music. Love DMB one of the best to ever do it
Instantly beautiful as soon as he sings the first line
One thing sunflower and I agree on. Dave is amazing.
Dave is Awesome . Period . DMB is one of thee Greatest Bands Ever
I love how the host is acting like no big deal but kinda notices the greatness at the end!! He's front row to greatest raw talent EVER!!!

Me too, although. I was just born that year eheh
Soul connection... seen him perform huge venues and his band is tight.
His lung capacity has increased so much! He's amazing and beautiful!
Crash was the first song I ever played live. Looking back it was a tough choice and a song I still can't play well. I played it because I loved Dave so much. Don't listen to him much anymore but he's always there when I play live.
Amazing musician and song. Added to my favorite song list on my channel. LOVE this! New sub.
Just wrings out All Along the Watchtower off the cuff, like it's a simple practice exercise, ,and he fricking rocked it and put his signature vocal stamp on it. Dave's soul IS music!!!!!
My college experience in a few songs! Would love to see you live!
What a lovely guitar

Got to see the boys and band this last year. He didn't play this song and respected that. They killed it
Indescribable talent. Just wow! 💙
I’ve never seen this video… amazing
he always brings me to the edge of crying. i dont feel like wiping my face off so i hold it in haha
The whole world must know of this.
Brings back some memories. Also, all of those posters behind the host are awesome. Reminds me of my dorm room back in '95.
He had a unique sound that was immediately recognizable and energy to spare.
I love when the presenter speaks dutch and Dave understands him. His South African roots coming out.
His synopsis of Crash Into Me 😂 K but watching him play this is 🤤 Really incredible talent!
Dave is SO AWESOME 🎉
I love him so much. 💕
This song and his voice is incredible
I played a Lakewood guitar like this and I was impressed
Never saw this one..what a treat! Thank you! 🙂👍
