I must say that as someone working this particular show ( I was an assistant to the DMB production crew) it was the only song that EVERY crew member ran out for. I wish I had had my camera because as a Fenway Park regular it meant a lot to me to see THAT many people having a total ball and singing along. I smiled so hard I almost cried. I had the best view of all of YOU enjoying this cover and participating!They did it once and they will never do it again. You all witnessed history.
It's a combo of things. It's our favorite band, DMB. It's a classic song. It's one of the best bar/drinking songs. It's DMB playing it as the 8th song of this show, awesome since it's tradition at Red Sox games to play this song around the 8th inning.
Both. This song is played a lot at bars, at least here in the Chicago area. But also, he played this sing as jill9700 mentioned because the song is special to Fenway Park...along the same lines of Jimmy Buffet doing the 7th Inning Stretch at Wrigley Field when he played there several years ago.
May I ask you good people a question? Is it the song or just the DM Band that makes this kind of impact on this very young audience..Do they really like sweet carline that much? Probably a combination of both? More important are great older classic songs like this really connecting to young audiences? Thanks!
you are clearly not from boston... or this planet for that matter. Dave is clearly one of the best musicians of all time. Or do you not know enough about music to understand what playing with Warren Haynes, Bela Fleck, Robert Randoplh, Soulive, Trey Anastasio, Tim Reynolds means? I think someone was too for school at some point and never got the memo that just because they are popular doesnt mean they suck.
sillygirl - You've clearly missed the whole point of them playing the song and have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to cover songs in general..

This may not be the best cover, but it sure was a blast participating.
