Every time they perform it live, it is done like they are in a Jam Season, keeps it fresh and every solo portion is an improvision and they are such a well tuned Band, they just play off it.

The one musician I would do anything to jam with is Carter. Anyone else get the chills at the end when they bust into the outro.. I got teary eyed thinking of LeRoi playing that when I was younger
Not only is Dave a very talented musician but a talented showman. And that band is the same way from the brumer the gentleman on that fiddle in any song he just has his soul in the music. Then the saxophone player dang he cann belt out them notes forever it seems ! And dazzle's the audience the whole time doing it. Can't leave out the electric guitar player he is pretty smooth as is the base player. I think that covers everyone. Oh that trumpet player damm he is fantastic as well a the keyboardist he can make the keys talk pretty damn good for sure Thanks for sharing Y'all's fanfriggintastic talents with the world Gentleman ! You are a true joy to watch perform. ✌️❤️🙏
I love that they always look like they're having the time of their lives when they play even their oldest songs. It complements their musical talents beautifully! What a beautiful phenomenon DMB is!
Omg! I ROCK WITH DMB 24/7!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE you Dave Matthews!!! Dave saved me! The way i love HIM....THEM....There are NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT!!!!!!!!!!! I have a fatal disease...I'd give anything to go backstage at a DMB concert before I die.
With so many artists that perform as if it's a terrible imposition on them to 'have' to do this again or act as if they're doing the audience a huge favor by even showing up, it's refreshing beyond belief to watch artists truly enjoying what they're doing and happy to share their joy with their fans.
Oh Carter...you carry us into it ... Loved Ants Marching... Gets the groove on...the soprano sax, then Dave who's voice is an ultimate instrument. Who am I kidding, this whole band is genius. Who needs the Hall of Fame anyway?
Got my VIP Tickets ready to go.. See you guys in Pittsburgh this summer!!! First time seeing them is going to be so awesome! Dave inspired me to play the guitar never put it down since his first song and I'm forever grateful my dad showed me his music. Dave is a Musical God. Keep on rocking DMB!
I love them all but Boyd Tinsley solo has always been a favorite of mine! Bought tickets to see them at USANA Amp Theatre and had a really bad anxiety attack and sadly missed it. That'll NEVER happen again! Cheers!
The silly note play breakdown leading into onebof the most beautiful split off symphony of pure joy from about 7:55 on. The originality of composition and funky spirituality that only dave and the fangbcan deliver with such ease .
I'm originally from Canada, but lived in Florida for 10 years. Saw DMB many times. The first time was in West Palm and I know nothing about the band. I was hooked right from the start. Back in Canada now and I must say Dave should play more Canadian dates.
Carter is WOW! Followed DMB since 1999. Doesn't get any better than this! I lived in the city where they originated from..Charlottesville, Va. All fitting..both are too Kool.
They keep Ants refreshed and demonstrate what great passion they have for the song, even though they have performed it 1000's of times. Short Fact. Dave Splits all performing income equally amounts Band Members. Enormously wealthy, talented successful Guy. I know people who have met him and said it was like meeting a a friendly neighbor. Humility is hard to find in the Entertainment Business, but Dave is the exception. He is also a Road Warrior as they are back on Tour right now.
Have never saw any band that works together as good as the Dave Matthews Band. I have also never seen any band with such a sheer amount of talent. Carter Beauford probably has to be one of the best drummers of all time. He is up there with Neil Peart and Buddy Rich.
Love singing with Dave, and the audience interaction with our minds and voices. Thank you for keeping an eye on us, and always being gracious, and kind when I needed kindness most.
Ok imagine these three Gentlemen plus the late Niel Peart, Buddy Rich, David Groule, the late Tylor Hawkins, Chester Beaufort ( DMB) And I'm sure a few more amazing drummers all on the stage at one time ! If course it can only happen now threw video editing ! But I think that have been the most amazing time of ones entertainment life. But hey this ol'man's pennies worth of thoughts counts as something somewhere ! Have a safe an Bless day Y'all, ✌️❤️🙏
I want to know how many times Carter drops a beat in this song alone. Both hands and foot pedals. We need to hold a world record because we DMB for life ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Tim Reynolds is wearing a Chriss Whitley shirt in this footage. Thx Tim for remembering him, to early gone to the everlasting huntingfields Chriss W. was a great guitarman and songwrtiter. By the way great performance of "the ant song' ;-)
I took a road trip from Canada to Louisiana/Texas a couple summers ago. Managed to catch a triple-decker concert (Cheap Trick/Joan Jett and the Blackhearts/Heart) at this venue... would definitely go back on another road trip if this is where Dave & crew played again.
Due volte dal vivo.. e per due volte loro hanno avuto più forza di me che li ascoltavo e basta! bravissimi. Sicuramente la miglior band oggi in circolazione nel rock per capacità armonica, tecnica, live. Non ce n'è.
What I like about DMB is that they are constantly changing versions of their songs which pisses some people off, but I think is the mark of true musicians. And the skill level is so high here, these guys are tight, but it's more than that, they feel the music and have a joy in playing.
This was INCREDIBLE. How bout Two Step from Centennial park!? A tape never surfaced from that show so itd be cool to see something from there. Plus Ive seen a lot of Two Steps in my day. That one was incredible. Incredible, incredible. Crowd participation and all.
I especially like the fact that Carter's timing acumen extends to him "saddling up" right off the golf course. A full day indeed. Bet he's single digit with those hands.

These guys have played Ants a gazillion times,yet they still play it with so much passion. What a great version.
I got Ants Marching at both shows I went to last year!
you got that right my friend, Dave and the guys got this vibe down real good!!!!
Every time they perform it live, it is done like they are in a Jam Season, keeps it fresh and every solo portion is an improvision and they are such a well tuned Band, they
just play off it.

+Shornetastic I'm amazed that you took the time to do this...
I thought you made this up for the comedy but that's actually pretty accurate omg
hahahaha well done!
dave crash
awesome !!! thanks :)
at the heart of every good band is a good drummer
BUFORD!
This is special. This band should be flying through
The time keeper
Right. And his smile is contagious!!
I love at 7:44 when you can see Carter telling the guys, "Let's goooo!" I love the musicianship in this band!
There are no words that I can say or write how much I love this band... I love them and respect them!
i agree.....
I cannot hit 'LIKE' enough!!
exactly!
Carter is the siiiiiiiickest drummer. Such a bad ass. God damn I LoVE him.
The one musician I would do anything to jam with is Carter. Anyone else get the chills at the end when they bust into the outro.. I got teary eyed thinking of LeRoi playing that when I was younger
Yes I get the chills all the time watching Carter jam! RIP Roi...oh and if I die before my time.....
I had one of his drumsticks and got rid of it when I moved... I wish I had known someone who would have appreciated it!!
Not only is Dave a very talented musician but a talented showman.
And that band is the same way from the brumer the gentleman on that fiddle in any song he just has his soul in the music. Then the saxophone player dang he cann belt out them notes forever it seems ! And dazzle's the audience the whole time doing it.

Who's listening TO THIS AWESOME BAND. 2020 / WITH ALL THE B.S GOING ON AROUND THE WORLD !! 😎👍 MUCH LUV TO ALL OF YOU ALL !
I love that they always look like they're having the time of their lives when they play even their oldest songs. It complements their musical talents beautifully! What a beautiful phenomenon DMB is!
Omg thos particular version was so absolutely amazing!!! Wish I could've seen it live
Looove this version of the song. Classic DMB!
The word "Groogrux" is now defined. Lesson over.
Omg! I ROCK WITH DMB 24/7!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE you Dave Matthews!!! Dave saved me! The way i love HIM....THEM....There are NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT!!!!!!!!!!! I have a fatal disease...I'd give anything to go backstage at a DMB concert before I die.
This is the best musical treat of "Ants Marching." Makes you want to listen and dance to it over and over again!
With so many artists that perform as if it's a terrible imposition on them to 'have' to do this again or act as if they're doing the audience a huge favor by even showing up, it's refreshing beyond belief to watch artists truly enjoying what they're doing and happy to share their joy with their fans.
It's because they ALL truly LOVE and BELIEVE in their music and the impact they've made in sooo many lives!!!
Oh Carter...you carry us into it ... Loved Ants Marching... Gets the groove on...the soprano sax, then Dave who's voice is an ultimate instrument. Who am I kidding, this whole band is genius. Who needs the Hall of Fame anyway?
This is their best live version by far. Carter's jam in the beginning of the song is awesome!
Carter is such an amazing drummer!!
whoever mixed this nailed the audio
Got my VIP Tickets ready to go.. See you guys in Pittsburgh this summer!!! First time seeing them is going to be so awesome! Dave inspired me to play the guitar never put it down since his first song and I'm forever grateful my dad showed me his music. Dave is a Musical God. Keep on rocking DMB!
wake up fellow DeadHeads-there is no better live band than this-MaxLove to the DMB and Crew
aiutiamo quei poveri 26 a cui non pace! Grande fratello Dave & C., mi date sempre grande soddisfazione.
Best drummer ever.
I love them all but Boyd Tinsley solo has always been a favorite of mine! Bought tickets to see them at USANA Amp Theatre and had a really bad anxiety attack and sadly missed it. That'll NEVER happen again! Cheers!
The silly note play breakdown leading into onebof the most beautiful split off symphony of pure joy from about 7:55 on. The originality of composition and funky spirituality that only dave and the fangbcan deliver with such ease .
Man, Carter's drumming methodology. Terse, poignant, sharp, crisp, on point. Blows my mind when I watch him.
This band has great energy, too bad we don't have many musicians like that, today we are bombarded with the Rap shit
One month from today I will be seeing DMB!! It can't come soon enough!!
I'm originally from Canada, but lived in Florida for 10 years. Saw DMB many times. The first time was in West Palm and I know nothing about the band. I was hooked right from the start. Back in Canada now and I must say Dave should play more Canadian dates.

I like Rush too! DMB and Rush are 2 of the most talented bands i think.
Rodrigo Sanchez so much love ♡♡♡
so glad they're doing these again this year! sick version of Ants.
Love singing with Dave, and the audience interaction with our minds and voices. Thank you for keeping an eye on us, and always being gracious, and kind when I needed kindness most.
It is I, April, Lirpa, Aphrodite, Daddy's little Goddess of Love. God of Love of All

never gets old
Simply Awesome David
Best Band Ever! Just Saying...
I want to know how many times Carter drops a beat in this song alone. Both hands and foot pedals. We need to hold a world record because we DMB for life ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
I always believed i was the best bass player. I dont anymore. Bravo
Saw them 2 weeks ago in Bangor Maine excellent show, can't wait for Virginia shows ..yehaa
goddamn!! this gave me chills!!! fucking incredible band!!!! i hope to see them this year at this same exact place!!!!
Damn good bass player- a great Lp.
What a gem, bloody great version
was there.....as always, a damn beast of a set-list!!
Tim Reynolds is wearing a Chriss Whitley shirt in this footage. Thx Tim for remembering him, to early gone to the everlasting huntingfields Chriss W. was a great guitarman and songwrtiter. By the way great performance of "the ant song' ;-)

Great version! Recording quality is awesome! Thanks for posting! Great version!
The best band ever !!! No waste
Who possibly couldn't like that?? Wonder what instrument they play? It's Dave fricken Matthew's! He's awesome!
Twice in 2012!!! Atlanta! Saturday!
Best drummer ever!
Loving it when DMB starts posting their summer tour warm up! Totally good way to pump up the summer!
Grande Dave e sua banda!!
Greatest drummer ever.
That rhythm that Dave starts playing at 1:45 gives me the chills.
Due volte dal vivo.. e per due volte loro hanno avuto più forza di me che li ascoltavo e basta! bravissimi. Sicuramente la miglior band oggi in circolazione nel rock per capacità armonica, tecnica, live. Non ce n'è.
UK PLEASE. You know at least i'll come to the concert.
This man is a legend on the drums in my opinion
outstanding performance! man, Carter playing makes me happy; I hope I get to see them live sometime
Marre you had to. i saw the best rock show, but no one is like dave matthews and is fuckin' band.
What I like about DMB is that they are constantly changing versions of their songs which pisses some people off, but I think is the mark of true musicians. And the skill level is so high here, these guys are tight, but it's more than that, they feel the music and have a joy in playing.
So flipping awesome. Can't wait for May 16th!!
Karen Simonton how did it go?
love the Chris Whitley War Crime Blues shirt on Tim Reynolds, a man of taste as well as talent
Legendary. This band is up there easily with the Gods. Stones, Zeppelin, the Who, etc etc. ya I said it!!! Lol
I used to despise this song. Watching this video now, I can't feel more happy. This 9 minutes really flew by
THIS BAND HOLY FUCK
Can't wait! 6/28/14 Post Gazette Pavilion here we come! Love the lawn crowd! See yinz all there!? ;)
One of my Fav

Only Carter Beauford can shake off an incoming Tim Reynolds solo 0:37 #hesagod

God, this rendition is so good.
superb!!!
Grandissimi!!!!!
So excited!

Amazing!I want the band in Italy soon!!!
This was INCREDIBLE. How bout Two Step from Centennial park!? A tape never surfaced from that show so itd be cool to see something from there. Plus Ive seen a lot of Two Steps in my day. That one was incredible. Incredible, incredible. Crowd participation and all.
Carter is a beast!
I especially like the fact that Carter's timing acumen extends to him "saddling up" right off the golf course. A full day indeed. Bet he's single digit with those hands.
Best gosh damn band on the fucking planet
XS Band - Great song ✌🏼
There is no doubt Carter is the Man...Man crush...
Rest in Peace, Ants Violin Solo.
When you love what a band brings the world you add Carter Beauford to your kids when saying " God please let something happen to me before the" lol
Can't wait!!!

Great 👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷
Awesome👍
So no one is going to talk about how they did the "shake your body down to the ground" by the jackson 5 trumpet part?!?
What a Freaking good Intro!!!!! Love your music guys!!!!!
C'est super
fucking FANTASTIC.
Carter thanks for supporting Boyd by not using your entire drum set this tour. No one notices...
♡♡♡
Incrível...
