I remember when I was little and my dad put a CD in while Britney Spears was playing. He said, "Lemme show you real music," and cranked it up as loud as it could go. I'm still listening to this day.
Yeah, the intro shows how the band is a perfect combination of elements and personalities, it seems. Dave said it even surprised them when they first practiced. It was an experiment, an unlikely assemblage at the time, and it just worked. Led Zeppelin said the same thing -- their combined sound was an unexpected monster on its own, they said. Can't know till you try.
I love the beginning of this song, it's really catchy. Always makes me think of the scene in The Office where Andy is in the roller skating rink alone & asks the DJ to play Dave Matthews band, and he plays this and he says "I said no hits!" But gets super into it anyway.
Yeah, that sax is like the magic dust to the band's sound. Some bands might not have known what was missing and never thought to bring in someone else. The band sounds all right till he comes in, but he takes them to another level, it seems. And those who say Ringo is still their favorite drummer need to give Carter a good listen here.
Carter's left hand lead started a revolution in the drumming community, and justifiable so! The DMB shows are so engaging the crowd isn't filming with their phones they are dancing and are in the moment! So awesome.
SO COOL how Dave stepped out of the spotlight, walked up to the drum, turned his back to the crowd and the let the violinist have his turn in the spotlight with that sick sick solo!!!
Look at that. That's a show, no one on their phone, no pushing and shoving like some crazy mosh pit, not that I have anything against mosh pits, but everybody grooving and having a good time. Definition of entertainment=Dave Matthews Band
Thats why i always go to dave when he comes through indiana which is about every year. Iv been to shows where your the wierd one if your dancing if your at dave and ur not getting down your the weird one
How nice is it to see not one damn person holding up a phone. Just people laughing, singing, and living their best life in the moment! Can we go back to these times? ............ Please?
I know. I keep rewinding to the exchanges between the Jimmy, bassist, and drummer. It's something about musicians grooving off each other. They are feeling it.
Without a doubt the best version of this song. The Boyd solo is amazing, the intro is they most natural sounding out of any of the others, and the whole song rly just sounds the most perfect in this version than any other.
this one universal, timeless, ageless wonder that few artists are able to create... the emotion one can get from this tune is just amazing... it makes you want more...and more! thanks DMB ... like vincent palmer said... i can't wipe that smile from face... godspeed guys!!
I think more people need the appriciate the musical talent in the Dave Matthews Band. To take so many different instruments, and put the together to make great sounding music is amazing.
DMB is my favorite concert band by far. A girlfriend dragged me to see them in 1995 and I'd never heard of them, totally blew me away. Haven't seen them in years but I'll listen to them from time to time and it brings back a lot of great memories
Need more Leroi love 🙌🏽.. amazing talent who created his own unique sound that seemingly cannot be replicated... the addition of 2 new musicians cannot create the sound of Leroi Cheers!
The Gorge is one fine place to see a concert and next to Red Rocks - the best place to see the DMB. I was at this concert sitting in the box seats to the right of the sound stage as you face the stage. Helicopters were circling before the concert and having seen Dave there many times I knew this was not normal. Sure enough they came out with the Gorge album and vids a couple years later. Good times. Peace - Dave you make everybody happy.
My girl and I making way our decendency set for future times no struggle to hard we will overcome you and me together we can do anything. I love you Christina!
Dave and the rest of the band have all said-Doesn't matter your political or religious views, color of your skin, whatever if you like their MUSIC then you're a DMB fan-That's ALL I need b/c I don't agree w/a lot of Dave's political or religious views but we both on 1 thing-He writes some AWESOME music!
Sorry seen Dave 35 times, their original sound and members. Just bring a different feel, then the current Dave. I love DMB, runs thru my veins and blood. Nothing beats old Dave vibe.
Look at the way DMD members present themselves on stage. They don't need costumes, or even dress like they are going to a formal. DMB just shows up to entertain with their musical talents. How many bands can say that for themselves?

This has still got to be one of the best arranged songs I have ever heard. It's so perfect in every way.
Tenatu 7 years later, still no rival.
I hope your still listening
@@deanemery7336 Why yes, Yes I am. And now I have 7 years of additional versions of this. lol. 👌🎻🥁🎼
Difficult to argue
That breakdown at 6:11 onwards is pure magic
Wow. Pls dont let this dialogue die!
this drummer is incredible
yea he is . he is one of the best drummer i ever seen
Man, I want to know what it feels like to be that good at something
@@zirjayvillanueva8876 go practice! 🤷♂️
Over 40 years on the drums… I agree 100% unique style
This percussion section and drummer are best in music. Look up Dream Theater Liquid Tension Expime t
I remember when I was little and my dad put a CD in while Britney Spears was playing. He said, "Lemme show you real music," and cranked it up as loud as it could go. I'm still listening to this day.
I should show your dad Pink Floyd
One of the greatest intros and shows/acoustical shows I've ever witnessed.. bravo DMB bravo.
100

Can't know till you try.
I’ve heard a lot of versions of “Ants Marching”, but this might be the best. Definitely up there. Top notch.
There's no way to watch a Dave Matthews Band live performance and not smile like an idiot.
like I was doing all song long :)
Vincent Palmer 3 years later
Still smiling.
I’ve seen them so many times and I cherish every moment.
I love the beginning of this song, it's really catchy. Always makes me think of the scene in The Office where Andy is in the roller skating rink alone & asks the DJ to play Dave Matthews band, and he plays this and he says "I said no hits!" But gets super into it anyway.
WIN
what season was this? need to watch that episode now lol
Ha. Literally just watched that scene 2 minutes ago and now I'm here
I’ll forever miss this lineup . It was magical. What an era for the band.
This is one of my favorite performances of Ants Marching because you can hear Stephan so well! Plus Leroi totally rocks the sax solo, as usual.
Isibeal Owens
Clarinet but Leroi is the sound and Carter is the heart beat that makes this band so good
Cheers
It’s a soprano sax . They are long and straight like a clarinet.
Yeah, that sax is like the magic dust to the band's sound. Some bands might not have known what was missing and never thought to bring in someone else. The band sounds all right till he comes in, but he takes them to another level, it seems. And those who say Ringo is still their favorite drummer need to give Carter a good listen here.
Carter CRUSHES on this performance too!
carter beauford deserves it. what a great guy. he deserves all the talent he has and the chance to show it off every night.
Incredible. That was the most fun I've ever had staring at a phone screen.
Carter's left hand lead started a revolution in the drumming community, and justifiable so! The DMB shows are so engaging the crowd isn't filming with their phones they are dancing and are in the moment! So awesome.
The first 2 mins of this song is just pure bliss!
The sound engineer and all the instrument techs really did some kickass wiring, mic,& speakers placements here! Damn! That sound!
I love how he dances around the stage and doesn't miss a beat.
My favorite version... I remember getting this Box Set for Christmas 2005...
Time has flown!!!
Love that Boyd's fiddlin'.!!!!!
Can you imagine being in THIS crowd on THIS night when THIS song was played?! And can we show the bass player some love- He killed that intro!
I was lucky enough to be there! :) It was my first Gorge and I was 27 years old. We are about to head back there in 3 weeks for our Gorge #12! :)
this song always makes me so happy. This version in particular
instrumentally, dave Matthews band is one of the best ever. their instrumentation is insane.
The soundtrack to my 20's. Great memories right there.
Probley the best live performance I ever seen for a song on youtube
Such an amazing collaboration of talent. Very rare these days..
They’re all good, but the drummer and bass player are outstanding
SO COOL how Dave stepped out of the spotlight, walked up to the drum, turned his back to the crowd and the let the violinist have his turn in the spotlight with that sick sick solo!!!
Musicianship at its finest
Look at that. That's a show, no one on their phone, no pushing and shoving like some crazy mosh pit, not that I have anything against mosh pits, but everybody grooving and having a good time. Definition of entertainment=Dave Matthews Band
+Gunnar Streuli Right, you got that right
+Gunnar Streuli This was filmed in '04 so this is before smartphones thats probably why.
+Gunnar Streuli my favorite ants marching performace. i get the live at the gorge dvd from my friend and jam it out .
rite
Thats why i always go to dave when he comes through indiana which is about every year. Iv been to shows where your the wierd one if your dancing if your at dave and ur not getting down your the weird one
This song will never get old
Hell yes
Boyd Tinsley is the MAN! So much energy.
DMB is like wine, it gets better with age. Great performance by (in my opinion and others' )the best band of the last decade.
How nice is it to see not one damn person holding up a phone. Just people laughing, singing, and living their best life in the moment!
Can we go back to these times? ............ Please?
I like to think of myself as a little ant when i'm taking the train to work and listening to this song.
Probably one of the best live versions of the song in existence! CAN'T BEAT DMB!!!
I love the exchange of glances and smiles between Dave and Carter between :20 and :40. It appears they're appreciating Stefan's bass improvisation.
Dusty Seifert Mr Lassard rules that Bass !! 😎🎸🎶🎶🎶
I know. I keep rewinding to the exchanges between the Jimmy, bassist, and drummer. It's something about musicians grooving off each other. They are feeling it.
Without a doubt the best version of this song. The Boyd solo is amazing, the intro is they most natural sounding out of any of the others, and the whole song rly just sounds the most perfect in this version than any other.
Well said🙌 Central Park is the only version that sounds just as natural
Just a great live performance
this one universal, timeless, ageless wonder that few artists are able to create... the emotion one can get from this tune is just amazing... it makes you want more...and more! thanks DMB ... like vincent palmer said... i can't wipe that smile from face... godspeed guys!!
Steffan the most underrated member... wish he had more solo time at the concerts i've been to
I mean, can it REALLY get any better than this? I don't think so.
Goose bumps man I wish I was there.
amazing...goosebumps!! just WOW..............
Absolute genius instrumental technique meets absolute genius harmony. God damn, how is this band not more revered??
Be still my heart. This song is everything still after all these years ❤
Chills bumps hearing the back drop of instruments, drums, horn, guitar,
Bass and bad ass violinists. Dang love this song
I think more people need the appriciate the musical talent in the Dave
Matthews Band. To take so many different instruments, and put the together to make great sounding music is amazing.
Holy FUCK what a show. That's some goddamn energy and I'm still feeling it over a decade later.
DMB is my favorite concert band by far. A girlfriend dragged me to see them in 1995 and I'd never heard of them, totally blew me away. Haven't seen them in years but I'll listen to them from time to time and it brings back a lot of great memories
Daniel Hooper are you and the girlfriend still together?
Mr Lassard ruled that BASS !
Roy

Steve G. Weirdo
Are you kidding me? The acoustic intro and the bass is amazing!
falsetto at its best! wonder what his vocal range is! Hats off!
Great song from the '90s.
I just LOVE how my fellow Seattlite dances too!
one of the best concerts I wish i could of been there
Fire up the kind bud, strap on the head phones and get you're beer cracked open.....we are ready for the ride!
This song has so many layers.....musical bean dip haha! I love it.
Stefan Lessard is the garlic in the sauce!
What a skills! How amazing they are!
FINALLY THIS IS ONE OF THEIR BEST
Dave and the rest of the band have all said-Doesn't matter your political or religious views, color of your skin, whatever if you like their MUSIC then you're a DMB fan-That's ALL I need b/c I don't agree w/a lot of Dave's political or religious views but we both on 1 thing-He writes some AWESOME music!
Sorry seen Dave 35 times, their original sound and members. Just bring a different feel, then the current Dave. I love DMB, runs thru my veins and blood. Nothing beats old Dave vibe.
Wonderful mixing. You hear all the instruments
Look at the way DMD members present themselves on stage. They don't need costumes, or even dress like they are going to a formal. DMB just shows up to entertain with their musical talents. How many bands can say that for themselves?
Velo1010 a lot of bands. Depends on where you look.
TWO MORE WEEKS....CAN'T WAIT!!!!
Best Band EVERRRRRR!
I loved seeing these guys in the park in new york
Does Boyd Tinsley play a mean fiddle? You damn straight he does!
