My little sister died on Christmas Eve morning this year. She was a music promoter in Portland Oregon a while back. She lost one of her legs due to a tragedy, and never really regained her self-confidence after that. And she always wanted to 'dance with the dolphins'. I can't imagine a more fitting tribute to someone who so selflessly spent her life trying to help everyone she loved in life (me especially...and we used to be 'boogie-partners' back in our youth...a million years ago). I picture her now as a beautiful spirit 'walking across the water' with her arms outstretched...and 'her legs are straight and strong'. .Thank-you for this.
Wow your story so moved me when you think of how difficult this journey and the most undeserving circumstances occur that affect you directly , you have to ask yourself …what is my fate that I to endure and experience such sorrow …. ??? And as I listen to this for the first time , I am moved by your connection and comment s.. bless you … it some times defies reason but music has this magical power to ameliorate theses disturbances … and tragedies ! Music reflects our humanity to heal educate and become the amazing partner in our journey that is so magical and a gift for all no of us to embrace !!! My deepest sympathies to you !!❤😢
I listened and hung out with Neil back in Atlanta in the 70's and 80's and I listened to Greg and Warren and hung out with in Atlanta and Macon and Jax in the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's and I listened to and watched Dave in the 80s and the 90s in Athens. I'm sitting here 2024 with all my brothers and sisters dying and it makes me feel sad, but watching this show in MSG makes me feel much better. I've seen Cortez the Killer before, so many times, at little stages and at the big circuses, but this was truly an excellent rendition. Warren, Dave, and Tim look so happy and that makes me feel glad. Unfortunately, I think to myself that there are very few of us left. God bless you guys Knocking on heaven's door... Peace love and the Grateful... Keep the faith no matter what happens 00/00
God bless brorher, I have listened to Neil Young since my early teens, got to see him play numerous times in Ireland where I live, in 2019 he played in Kilkenny where I live on the same bill as Bob Dylan, they preformed together for one song on stag, Dreams came true at that moment, I had just survived a brain tumour and I was one of the first concert back attending. God bless and take care. Brenny
@@brenny2506 thank you, for sharing Brenny. One of my best friends in my teens in Georgia was Irish, I believe, from Mayo County, but I am not sure. I'm Italian and he's Irish and we hit it off pretty well and for a long time. We went to many shows across the southeast United States. I too, have had a major injury from a fall in the mountains. I get around good though, I'm thankful to Jesus Christ to be alive. I still get around well and hopefully, have a decade or two left in me, lord willin'. I've always wanted to see Van Morrison and The Chieftains. I imagine you have had a chance to see them many times. Anyway, keep in touch. I'll try to figure out a way to give you my email. KTF,JB✌️
@@danagrove6472 well after looking at your channel I understand now... There is so much static, but I got one for you. I worked for Jerry Cantrell senior on a short project for Amoco and he was about as brain dead as Jerry Jr. and you are. Heroin leads to nowhere in hell, as well as, opioids without medical necessity. Do you even know what Cortez the Killer is about?
These 2 together are utter perfection. This is in the top 5 of my favorite songs of all time. But, in my opinion, when Dave & Warren did this song in the Central Park Concert, it was much better. The video is here on RUclips
Take a look at the band when the song is over, they are stunned at what they heard. Warren took that song to somewhere special. Typical Warren Haynes, the guy can play anything. He's amazing.
I was laying in a hospital bed with covid in April, and scanned my RUclips for some rock.....I happened upon Cortez, and I swear to God that it made me want to get out of that place and live gain! Sound ridiculous but Warren Haynes guitar lifted me.....and Im here to tell the tale. I will be a DMB fan for the rest of my days. Thank you You Tube for making this vid available......Just the best!!!!
Wish I would have thought of this sooner. Speedy recovery from a fellow survivor! Mine was real bad. I have a new outlook on life. Glad to hear you are doing fine. Music is so healing. 🧡
My 76 yr dad came around my place it was July 2020 wet cold in Australia We sat on the couch flicking thru RUclips he’s my mentor of music Floyd n Neil young huge influences in our lives he said put Cortez the killer on ide never really listened to it to be honest we did the NY then he said put Dave Mathew’s n WH on …………. I was blown away, fixated, spellbound My dad got up and left for home That was the last time I saw my dad He passed away that week We were so close He left me with this gift Beautiful My dads exit from this world was magic I love this song means the world to me like you did to me dad ❤
Agreed. This is my favourite version too. It’s magnificent. Soulful, as you say. But it’s also the perfect tempo. It has Great dynamic range in the second half. The Crescendo in the last 2 or 3 minutes trumps every other rendition I’ve ever heard. All the band members are great - Warren too, but that’s a given! - but the drummer is fantastic. His precision, and passion, lays down the most solid foundation for everyone else. He’s really enjoying it too !
@@racl1954 I’m guessing you mean the 2003 gig at Central Park ? Warren Haynes joined them there for this song too. That concert was released as a three CD album, and I have the album. As good as that Cortez performance is, it falls well short of this 2018 rendition. It was shorter ( only around 11 mins ) and lacks much of the soul and passion that we got here. Unfortunately this later concert hasn’t been released on CD. 😢
@@patrickpatterson4039 saw Dave when did security at sandstone he rocked Idid sec 4 Chris zFritz a@CsiOthink Jeff Helly was there he followed the Eagles he tolde so n person,cuz I did security at when he'll freezes over,/,Eagles @ Sandstone am no p
I can't believe it...but I like the Shine on you crazy diamond version of Gov. Mule more then Pink Floyd version...Warren is just incredible...love him
Don't care which is best - you two argue that out. I'm just going to the playground to hear the sliding(Warren), the classical touches(Tim), and singing (Dave). The rest are great, too Never saw Dave's bass player so serious...darn good player, drummer i love always, those keyboards..Come on. Thanks Neil Young, they did this so so FANTASTIC you went down in History AGAIN!!! 🌿
Liking is subjective but may I kindly suggest this version, which I think kick ass to all other cover versions: ruclips.net/video/6QjIHnb5Ivs/видео.html
Of course Warren and the guitar boys are magic that we can’t forget the beat of that drummer and very talented keyboard player! My hats off to one of the best jam sessions I have ever heard! Masterful !
Cortez the killer is by far my favorite song by Neil young...and dmb nails it with help from warren Haynes. Back in the day Mr Haynes hosted a New years Eve jam party there in asheville, NC. I was fortunate enough to make the cut back in '91. I don't recall the line up. Only warren locking the doors at 2am?
@@vansullivan236 That would Buddy Strong on the keys... newest member since roughly mid-2018 when they released "Come Tomorrow" and then he joined them full-time since as a defacto replacement for Boyd Tinsley. Buddy also sings back grounds on several songs as well shares vocals with Dave on a few tracks from the newest album released this past May.
Hey, hey three yrs ago i, posted. Wow times sure do fly right by. Dave, Warren spectacular for jammin together. Yall rock !!! Still amazed . .music as good as it gets, right down to the marrow❤....
THE best cover of this song ever made. One of my all time favorite Neil Young songs and this cover is amazing. Props to everyone in the Dave Matthews band and Warren's legendary guitar work.
I had a bar in Saigon and everyday my first customer was a native American guy from New Mexico. With his first beer he would request this song. I never got tired of it
Look, I’ve been a fan since I was 15 and yesterday was my birthday. Cortez means just as much today as it did in my most vulnerable age. I’m 46. It’s just as amazing. The message is right. Always has been. DMB. Wow.
god bless the internet!!! ( when used properly!) greetings from a regiomontano living the american dream! in raleigh north carolina! wide awake! hell yeah!!!!
Simply sensational. One of the greatest cover versions I ever heard in my life. Uncle Neil did a fine job creating the song. This one by DMB is awesome. Warren Haynes ... beautiful.
I am not sick in a bed… but feel for those who are!! But to listen to this song😩😩🙌 ✨✨ will make you think of long times past!! It has meaning!! Cortez turned into a killer!!! This song is based on “ a true story “ but the amazing music makes it feel just like a jam song!!! Dave Mathew’s and Warren Haynes 😩👌✨✨💕💕💕💕💕✨ it’s a classic gem for sure!!! I have it on my play list in the top choice👌🤩✨💕💕💕
I don't disagree on any level, DMB have been my favorite band since I first heard them in the early 90s. But there is way more than that going on here. Sure, there's the band, and of course Dave... but then Warren Haynes adds a whole great vibe and energy, AND it's a Neil Young tune. This performance is a crunchy jam sammich.
Do you know that we are touching the divine ,there.? Warren haynes ,bright ,modest ,plays pure Musik ,is made of a humanity that he does not even suspect himself. Pure soul.When we think how certains show off ,and this great, exceptionnal, good feeling with Dave Matthews....We are on another planet...We have to say it .Thousands thanks for making us live this
YOWIE WOWIE...the way that performance builds is incredible. You have to let that breathe and let it climax in the finale two minutes. Amazing performance. Thank you for posting!!!
I am 69 years old and that makes me a Boomer (not a submarine) and I've seen so many great guitar players come and go but I have to admit that Warren Haynes is right up there with them all.
Frame it and store it in a museum, and declare it a priceless masterpiece. Every style of musician should be permanently humbled after witnessing this. They profoundly made your soul their audience.
This belongs to a motion picture,.such polyphonic upward movement in timbre, timing, tone, and the talent of Haynes, Mathews vocals and playing just an incredible piece of music. Namaste
Don't worry it's not your last time there's more to come I have an archive so big of all the best of the best and I listen to him every everyday keeps me going
Such a soaring work. Love Neil Young’s original. LOVE this cover. Also a BIG fan of the version on RUclips of Grace Potter singing this with Joe Satriani on guitar and Willy Waldman tearing it to pieces on flugelhorn in support. More than most compositions, this seems to seriously inspire musicians to move things to the next level. It’s like magic.
Warren is THE MAN. Been listening to this since Young released it 50 or so yrs back. This is a great cover. What I wouldn't give for a time machine. This was an era of real music, not the noise today passed off as music.
God bless Neil Young ... I first heard this song as I embarked on an advanced alipine ice climbing course ... it was a moment in my life ... that I survived... and emerged into a real life ... that I never regretted.
Amazed this hasn't more views and up votes. So rare to find musicianship of such exhilarating calibre ...and then there's the song itself...Thank you Neil.
The original DMB and WH version of this has been on Utube since 2011....it has over 150k views.....it's a classic....dare I say arguably better than this version.
This is the stuff that gets me higher than any drug. Hard to find such gems today. I found one right here. The trick is not just to listen to it, but to FEEL it inside. Let your body sway with the beat and your mind move with the rest. Experience it with your entire being, and you will be in audio-Heaven.
strange- that such a masterpiece of simplicity should be taken on by such a skilled embellisher and still retain it's soul... one of my fave Neil songs elevated... frikking beautiful...
If this song doesn't make ya feel a certain kinda way then you should probably look into that. I fucking love this whole show. And with Warren for a few is just the icing. You can see how happy he is to play with a band of that caliber. Beautiful thing man
Warren is "THE" man. Dude can make some of these classics sound so great. Most under-rated guitar player in the world. I had been listening and thought something sounded familiar,, and decided to watch the video, and immediately saw why the leads & vocals were so awesome, and familiar. I'm pushin 70, and Hayes is passing all the great ones I've seen and heard through the yrs. My daughter turned me on to DMB yrs ago, and thought I would see how they covered this. I was floored, andI listened almost everyday, until I decided to watch the dang video. Thanks DMB for posting this cover.
....omfg ... I have no words, still ..even after comin back time and time again ....just the energy's of the hypnotic rhythms.....the solid solid beats...oml.......
YOU FUCKS!!!!! ...blew the top off of my head!! One of THE finest performances/pieces I have ever had the pleasure to hear. You friggin guys did it...thank you a thousand times..
Should be mandatory listening for every young person ....lifetime of appreciation for real music, much thanks to bringing beauty to this crazy world. The power of live music is unbelievable, those that listen to modern fake musicians(??) will likely not appreciate the artistry of the lyrics and fundamental awesomeness of musical talent on display
Great guitar playing from Warren as always. And I love the interaction between him, the other guitar player (makes Warren smile), and the keyboards. But two things REALLY make this song (and any good performance) 1. LISTENING to each other more than yourself, and 2. DYNAMICS - knowing how to bring it down and bring it back up again. Kudos to DM for allowing this to happen.
unbelievably gifted each and every one at this event! What a masterpiece from Warren and DMB never disappoints! What I especially love ❤️ is how they are in complete synchronicity and are infused with the sheer joy and magic of playing together! gives me chills, my definition of a killer jam, always and forever through this once piece! more please 🙏🏽
Good God in heaven amidst us,that unstoppable drummer and organ player kept everyone feeding and feeding of each other’s parts. The absolute best live performance I’ve ever seen in my lifetime ❤😮

Absolutely. His enjoyment says it all ! He’s so in the groove. Perfection.

Carter Beauford is my favorite drummer. Super pocket machine with style and emotion.
There is no doubt in the reason that everyone wants to play with Warren Haynes.. he’s simply incredible!!!!
One of the best😁
Warren was the backbone of what was left of the Allmann Brothers. I give Derrric Trucks a thumbs up as well.

In my opinion, this is the best performance Warren has ever given. He slays the inner guitar in us all.
Watch him do shine on you crazy diamond. Plays it all his own but it is still perfect. Best warren that I have found.

@@MegaBighut may not be duplicated, but song is forever no matter who does it.
@@MegaBighut I have to respectfully disagree. Plz point me in the direction of a better version.
I am 69 years old and that makes me a Boomer (not a submarine) and I've seen so many great guitar players come and go but I have to admit that Warren Haynes is right up there with them all.
Sonora108 I am with you on that!
Yes, 61 here
i agree he is tops i believe.
Bless you
64 here have you heard that young fella Bonamassa? This was very nice....took me back
One of my greatest finds in 40 years of listening to music. What a duo
Frame it and store it in a museum, and declare it a priceless masterpiece. Every style of musician should be permanently humbled after witnessing this. They profoundly made your soul their audience.
i'm blessed to be able to witness the talent on that stage
Dave's drummer is such a joy to listen, watch!!!!! If there is a drummers Hall of FAME, he MUST be in it...
La verdad una de las mejores interpretaciónes de Cortez en vivo. Espectacular; tengo 64 años y ojalá esten tdv escuchado . Paraguay Sudamérica
Not just the best cover of this song but maybe the best cover of any song ever. Change my mind.
This belongs to a motion picture,.such polyphonic upward movement in timbre, timing, tone, and the talent of Haynes, Mathews vocals and playing just an incredible piece of music. Namaste
Im 65 and listen to this everyday never gets old. Not just layne the full band. Gets you in the soul
Every once in awhile, I come back to watch this video, I get all excited and my heart screams out one last time.
Don't worry it's not your last time there's more to come I have an archive so big of all the best of the best and I listen to him every everyday keeps me going
Such a soaring work. Love Neil Young’s original. LOVE this cover. Also a BIG fan of the version on RUclips of Grace Potter singing this with Joe Satriani on guitar and Willy Waldman tearing it to pieces on flugelhorn in support. More than most compositions, this seems to seriously inspire musicians to move things to the next level. It’s like magic.
Thanks for the additional reco. Grace Potter is brutal! wow...
I’m glad you mentioned the Grace Potter/Satriana version. Joe’s guitar soars on that version
The best Neil Young cover I've ever heard. I was hoping for Neil Young to end the song with a cameo. It wasn't needed.
Blues at all !!!!
The trumpet in the grace Potter cover is mind blowing
I don't know what with this number. Gets me so often in tears. Neil is a genius.
Absolutely one of my top favorites to listen to can't listen to this enough. Thank you guys brings tears to my eye everytime job well done.
The best version of this song I’ve heard so far! Warren 🤯!! I am blown away
Warren is THE MAN. Been listening to this since Young released it 50 or so yrs back. This is a great cover. What I wouldn't give for a time machine. This was an era of real music, not the noise today passed off as music.
Check out Angus Stone
Every time I watch and listen to this I grin until my face aches. Warren is simply one of the best.
God bless Neil Young ... I first heard this song as I embarked on an advanced alipine ice climbing course ... it was a moment in my life ... that I survived... and emerged into a real life ... that I never regretted.
My lord that was special
THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND... MR. WARREN HAYNES!!!
Amazed this hasn't more views and up votes.
So rare to find musicianship of such exhilarating calibre ...and then there's the song itself...Thank you Neil.
The original is from Neil Young. And i still believe that's the coolest version of this song. But this one is also pretty good.
The original DMB and WH version of this has been on Utube since 2011....it has over 150k views.....it's a classic....dare I say arguably better than this version.
Thank you Neil for this gem years ago!
Neil did it so much better
I think some people are listening to this and not realising it's paying homage to Neil not trying to improve upon or compete.
This is the stuff that gets me higher than any drug. Hard to find such gems today. I found one right here.
The trick is not just to listen to it, but to FEEL it inside. Let your body sway with the beat and your mind move with the rest. Experience it with your entire being, and you will be in audio-Heaven.
bogdog999 yes
Spoken like someone who knows how to listen to music.
Amen brother, just "let go" and let it take you down the river of sweet licks and guitar picks. 🎷🎶🌫️🕉️
let your mind rest in the moves
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Love the interaction with The Drummer! Warren steals the show, a demonstration of how to properly operate a Gibson Les Paul! What a performance!
strange- that such a masterpiece of simplicity should be taken on by such a skilled embellisher and still retain it's soul... one of my fave Neil songs elevated... frikking beautiful...
If this song doesn't make ya feel a certain kinda way then you should probably look into that. I fucking love this whole show. And with Warren for a few is just the icing. You can see how happy he is to play with a band of that caliber. Beautiful thing man
Warren Haynes adds another level of greatness to this tune.
Warren is "THE" man. Dude can make some of these classics sound so great. Most under-rated guitar player in the world. I had been listening and thought something sounded familiar,, and decided to watch the video, and immediately saw why the leads & vocals were so awesome, and familiar. I'm pushin 70, and Hayes is passing all the great ones I've seen and heard through the yrs. My daughter turned me on to DMB yrs ago, and thought I would see how they covered this. I was floored, andI listened almost everyday, until I decided to watch the dang video. Thanks DMB for posting this cover.
Im 67 and I agree
Well , well, well... what do we have here ? Just about the most insane performance. This is my good friend Mr. Warren Haynes ...
I have prostate cancer and this song means everything to me . I live on Cortez the killer
We love Warren Haynes we've been following him for years
This is the most EPIC version of Cortez EVER.
I've seen this 100 times and it still knocks me out every single time
same same
It's so much better than NEIL YOUNG
Was there for it. Best 20 min of music I have heard in a long time
A spiritual experience truly
Absolutely
Some say perfection does not exist, I just witnessed it. Anyone who gave this a thumbs down needs instant medical treatment and a head transplant.
....omfg ... I have no words, still ..even after comin back time and time again ....just the energy's of the hypnotic rhythms.....the solid solid beats...oml.......
Wow!! Excellent cover!! One of my favorite Songs
I’ve never seen anything better that this ....wow!
If I smoked a joint I’d still be swaying. Damn sure one of the best NY covers.
Every time I watch this it leaves me in total awe..
A friend sent me this today WOW INCREDIBLE PIECE OF MUSIC .IF YOU DONT FEEL THIS check your pulse
I love this song. Awesome performance.
WOW, how excellent is THIS?!?!? I can't even scale it. Love it.
I love everything about the Dave Matthews Band!! Warren Haynes is one of the best!!
This version and Central Park version are the best...listen to this often...always makes me smile.
Warren has an ability to send pure emotion thru the strings of a guitar only a select few guitarists have ever been able to do.
Another one is Gary Moore
Dave, all the way from South Africa, what a macnifesent band...awsome....
My Brother suggested to me this video... I'm glad that he did. Beautiful!
YOU FUCKS!!!!! ...blew the top off of my head!! One of THE finest performances/pieces I have ever had the pleasure to hear. You friggin guys did it...thank you a thousand times..
Smooth it out lady. We are all in awe of this rendition!
Should be mandatory listening for every young person ....lifetime of appreciation for real music, much thanks to bringing beauty to this crazy world. The power of live music is unbelievable, those that listen to modern fake musicians(??) will likely not appreciate the artistry of the lyrics and fundamental awesomeness of musical talent on display
👍

Great guitar playing from Warren as always. And I love the interaction between him, the other guitar player (makes Warren smile), and the keyboards. But two things REALLY make this song (and any good performance) 1. LISTENING to each other more than yourself, and 2. DYNAMICS - knowing how to bring it down and bring it back up again. Kudos to DM for allowing this to happen.
The other guitar player is Tim Reynolds
yes it's Tim Reynolds on the other guitar
@@dustymcguire7411 it's actually Buddy Strong on the keys
Yes!
I love live concerts, but this was a special treat
The respect shown to each other is palpable. From the first note...the whole band knew they 'killed it'! Smiles all around. Goosebumps for me.
unbelievably gifted each and every one at this event!
What a masterpiece from Warren and DMB never disappoints!
What I especially love ❤️ is how they are in complete synchronicity and are infused with the sheer joy and magic of playing together!
gives me chills, my definition of a killer jam, always and forever through this once piece!
more please 🙏🏽
I love how every note played and lyric sung was allowed time to emerse into every fibre of your being, suspended, appreciated. Perfect
Such a great description!
This is a great piece of recorded rock and roll, one of the best I HAVE EVER HEARD... Warren Haynes is magnificent...
Man do they do ol’ Neil’s song justice! Not only the guitar work, but the vocals
Good God in heaven amidst us,that unstoppable drummer and organ player kept everyone feeding and feeding of each other’s parts. The absolute best live performance I’ve ever seen in my lifetime ❤😮
