Dave Matthews Band - Ants Marching (Live) | REACTION

[@mikekremposky]

Carter Beauford, the drummer, is a bad dude!

[@johncampbell756]

One of my favorite drummers. He doesn't get mentioned nearly enough.

[@hunter1961100]

I saw John Bonham, Neil Peart. Neither of them made me move as much as Carter and the Dave Matthews Band did. Of course, the other two you just sat there in awe lol

[@jimmoore8951]

The best! So versatile with that open handed style

[@itsmedrooms6071]

Yes, incredibly great. Reminiscent of Billy Cobham, he plays open handed and is heavily jazz influenced.

[@gerrydupuis9897]

Hell yeah!!!!!

[@bsb1975]

RIP LeRoi Moore. The original woodwinds player for DMB. His live solos were amazing.

[@johnaustin3187]

Never heard a better horn player…EVER!

[@bruninhooliveira9371]

LeRoi was just AMAZING!

[@lpluva1]

People hate on Dave, but try and play these songs on your guitar and sing them, and we'll talk again. This band is so talented it's insane.

[@johnaustin3187]

Dude, ive been playing ANTS for years. Since, like ‘95…and i STILL struggle, and nevermind Stone, grace is gone and minarets. I have, though, on more than one occasion… less than 2 hands worth, made it though Warehouse… 😂😂😂flat out, dude’s got amazing skills🤙🏻

[@lpluva1]

@@johnaustin3187 In HS I hated them, if my friends were around, but I owned Under The Table And Dreaming and bumped it...When I was alone. But I have been an unabashed fan for a long time now. As soon as I tried to learn Crash Into You to impress my girl, I decided I should aim a little lower. Playing them is hard enough but singing them AND playing them is different, good luck.

[@stuffthings1417]

he got me into the guitar 24 years ago. got tired of c g f c blah... but figuring out stone, recently, warehouse, was the nuts back then. and yes, singing. the other level. odd timings. dreaming tree and you never know are tops for me.

[@mjkimmich]

tbf he also seems like an all-timer glue guy.

[@derrekcrofford1196]

Ive been drumming for over 25 years and still struggle with almost all of Daves songs. Carter is in a class all by himself man.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Carter Beauford, the drummer, is considered the best of the best, top drummer. And of course Boyd Tinsley, the violinist, is legendary. Take a listen to the studio version of this song, it's real tight and the way it all flows and blends and the amazing sounds, it's one of my favorite all time songs. Guaranteed to put anyone in a good mood.

[@danmayberry1185]

Early 90s caught "this guy from South Africa with a good band" at a tiny club in Victoria, Canada. Everyone there took the next day off work. Insane.

[@brianbrooks-in5yy]

The Dave Matthews band is the best band that you can still see in concert! Love 'em!

[@briancarroll6803]

The band you're watching was incredible. They're no slouches now, but this.. this era was magic

[@xmas74]

This is a band that should be seen live. It's a fantastic experience.

[@adrianangela8769]

I love watching all these shows evaluating/listening to DMB. I'd like to know if you guys (@AirplayBeats) at a younger age would have NEVER tried to hear a song? I was one of those guys. Songs took so long to start but then began to appreciate it more in late 20s than I did in my early 20s. Then just enjoyed live music like this and hearing all the things you talk about this group.

[@davidwilkins5932]

The DMB (and his solo work) offer a deep well. And as a side note, you should check out various tracks from the concert film ‘Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds at Radio City Music Hall’. It’s just him and his guitarist on two acoustic guitars and a grand piano, and it’s awesome. It’s stripped down music with passion. But there’s so much to dig into.

[@heidi_d]

“Bartender” - the first song from that performance - is like a spiritual experience!

[@brendafloyd1532]

One of the best recordings *ever* ❤️

[@heidi_d]

@@brendafloyd1532100%!!’

[@mistytownley3845]

Came here to say the same thing! Bartender is absolutely amazing!

[@timmertwotone1]

I love how anytime they show Carter, he always has the biggest smile.

[@tylerdixon3160]

I love it when I see these old school DMB videos. It’s crazy how the band has transformed. No more Boyd and the violen or Butch on the keys and we can’t forget LeRoi, RIP.

[@DocRock71]

Gotta love that improvised 3 minute intro! Dave Matthews Band live is always a celebration of the musical experience! There's obvious reasons why they are one of the perennial and consistent Top 10 touring bands in the US for the last 20 years. Seeing them jamming on stage... doesn't get much better.

[@FeralPatrick]

Brilliant live band, all 8 times I've seen them. Easily the tightest live band I've ever seen. The standout show for me was 2001 in Dallas at Texas Stadium (openers were Angelique Kidjo and Wyclef, who did a cover of Wish You Were Here) - Roof open, 95 degrees, 100% humidity. When they took the stage, Dave was completely dry. They played 2.5 hours straight, no breaks. By the end the only thing dry on Dave was literally his pant cuffs/bottom hem. RIP Leroi Moore.

[@ginalolajupiter2942]

There's so much joy in their music.

[@gatto190]

Dave is INDEED playing with Hall of Famers. He hand selected them while bartending in Charlottesville, NC. He admits to selecting them to exploit them for their magical talents. 30+ shows for me. I absolutely love the diversity of this band- race, style, and creativity. Best ever.

[@thewhiteniinja]

VA - at miller's, which is still open and still has live music almost every night of the week.

[@olly8]

WOW! That's cookin' with some HOT grease! One UNIQUE band. Amazing talent in every player. They're sizzling hot.🔥& Tastee! More please👍🏻

[@cliveklg7739]

"Dave Matthews Band - #41 w/ The Flecktones - 4/20/02 - Ottawa - [32min Version]" Yes they riff this song out to 32 minutes, Part because they had the Flecktones up as well and I think everyone in both bands had a solo. Their "Jimi Thing" performance in Central park is pretty fantastic too. 13+ minutes of riffs. Carter Beauford the Drummer you can just see the joy in this performance.

[@stuffthings1417]

the drummer is one of the best ever.

[@melvinwomack3717]

And all of their live albums sounds just this Damn crispy 😅 9:04

[@benshafer5198]

Carter Beauford is a beast on the kit. Top ten for me

[@DocRock71]

Top 5 for me.🙂

[@markdemos75]

Also happiest drummer out there

[@ML-un1oi]

Thanks for introducing this to me. Wow incredible!. I am going to download this. Fantastic reaction fellas! Appreciate you 🙏 ❤

[@DunrobinOntario]

That drummer is elite elite at that technical groove style!! Carter Beauford He goes around North America doing drum clinics as a teacher... endorsed by Yamaha drums and some stick company (i forget which one)

[@PriestessOfNothing]

These boys play for the love of playing. The respect and friendship is immense, and I always say that I think they forget that there's even an audience there sometimes lol but it's not in a bad way at all, it's part of what makes DMB who they are. Watching them play live is the closest I'll ever get to heaven.

[@Goldielab12345]

I love that y’all did DMB. Reactors act like they don’t exist!!!!

[@cre8tivone]

Dave’s band has always been killer!!! Another musical pothole especially for Che 😊

[@scottsnyder2726]

Dave Matthews live is so much fun. They’re jamming the whole time, and the crowd fully participates. Incredible musicians. Carter’s drumming is amazing, as is everyone else. Ants Marching always the highlight of their shows.

[@19MichaelDixon]

Every one if their members from Dave to Carter to Leroy to Stefan to Boyd are INCREDIBLE musicians. Add Butch and Tim and theyre phenomenal

[@poolhall9632]

I was at this one. Not the best DMB show I've seen, but we got to sing to Roi for his birthday. It would be the last time I saw him. RIP Mr Moore.

[@joshpatrick3663]

RIP LeRoi!! And congratulations to the boys for the rock and roll hall of fame this weekend!!!

[@jessicaleblanc-nh1yl]

Leight weight mosh pit! Priceless. Dave Matthews Band are pretty much genius musicians. Incredible & so gifted with their magic making. Thank you for sharing this one. Never without love for this band. Quite something when you see them live. Keep enjoying.

[@DocRock71]

This is from their debut album, Under the Table and Dreaming. For me, their first 4 or 5 albums are just ridiculous, truly amazing music. Frankly don't care as much for their later albums, especially after the first Glen Ballard produced one changed their styles and structure to a more "radio friendly" stuff, but they still come out with some good newer stuff overall, just not as good as those first 5 albums.

[@scottipmagician]

You guys are a vibe..... I came here for the Dave Matthews Band reaction, but I'm subscribing because of you two and your camera presence\chemistry. - from a man from all the way over in Australia 'bout to go binge the s@#t out of your channel.

[@benhinds2971]

Beauford should be part of the conversation when people discuss The Great One

[@alansmith7626]

must see the video by Carter Beauford entitled Under the Table and Drumming...Epic stuff

[@allisondownes7481]

La and Che!!!! There you go again! My (late) son's name was David Matthew, and of course we listened to Dave Matthews Band all the time during his illness. You picked a great live one to review today. Thanks so much! God bless you both! ....May I suggest the Listener Supported live album...full of deep cuts!

[@joelong7448]

Allison, I have the listener supported cd's, fantastic. And of course this song was my favorite of this breakout album. Very sorry for your loss. I'm sure he was up there and right next to you as you watched this. 😇

[@allisondownes7481]

@@joelong7448 Thank you for your kind words. Peace and blessings to you and yours.🙏

[@treydog317]

I saw DMB open up for Phish back in 94. For phish’s encore both bands played “All Along the Watchtower “. It was great

[@allendixon7700]

Marshall tucker band marshall tucker band they're legends of course, toy caldwell and his brother😊

[@allendixon7700]

Marshall Tucker man, they hooked up with Charlie Daniels giving my feather and her aunt brother went crazy. A song's called 24 hours. I was doing it on the stage, brother rotten proud of you twenty four hours

Marshall Tucker band. Question mark that's right a marshall talk about I do a song called virginia lock the state to state of virginia marshall duckers got a song Brother entertain you entertain gifts her entertainment gives her

[@pennysilvey8868]

This was the best reaction I have seen you guys do yet. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the two of you. One introducing the music to the other. Can’t wait to hear some more Dave Matthews! They have such a deep rabbit hole to go through.

[@suesebree8670]

Yea!!! DMB!!! Love this one!

[@NUNYA79.]

Play that song so many times on MTV when I was young. I grew to despise it. sounds good now. After all these years, especially live .good stuff, God bless. Thanks fellows

[@barbaracollins385]

Hot night in Atlanta, Georgia. Just think this was an outdoor concert. Can you imagine hearing this in an enclosed space?

[@vgspro5365]

Dave Matthews is so fun!

[@PastaDrums3886]

It was perfect timing with the right people at the right time in the right place in Virginia that formed this band. My favorite band ever. I just learned that DMB's debut album was certified 6x platinum.

[@gregangus9961]

Best concert atmosphere you could hope for. And Dave is one of the nicest people to talk with. A band based on generosity and building on each other’s strengths… and tons of humour.

[@rorybellows-wz5tx]

Stefan Lessard the bass player was still in high school when he got that gig

[@mamaflush9945]

I'm so glad ya'll got around to this one, I'm a big fan of the Dave Mathews Band. This song "Ants Marching" is from their debut album and is one of the bands best known songs. However, the band has a pretty deep discography. Here's another live performance, if interested. "Dave Mathews Band - The Dreaming Tree (Live at Piedmont Park)" this song I've suggested is from their album called "Before These Crowded Streets" released in 1998. (IMO) this band has been hugely successful and definitely overlooked here on KZbin. The Dave Mathews Band has released ten studio albums, eighty-five live albums, three compilation albums, eight video albums, two extended plays, thirty-six singles (including one as a featured artist) and twenty-one music videos...DMB has sold over 33 million albums in the USA. I really enjoyed jamming with you fellas' thanks so much for sharing. peace out~

[@ronaldtoth4522]

Love you guys. I hope I can convince you to check out Robert Cray Band. Great voice, great guitar & great stories told with the lyrics. Try and see what you think of "Right Next Door" & " The forecast calls for pain"

[@mark-be9mq]

Great call!

[@johnisouth6636]

First time ive ever listen to that the whole way 😂. Aazing.

[@Joe-d3t1t]

Dave has a unique voice. It’s so perfect in these songs. No one can truly cover this song, this band and voice isn’t easily replicated.

[@George-ur8ow]

Really enjoyed this reaction. Listened to this gem 1,000 times, have seen the band live many times; but listening to it with the both of you brought the feeling I had when first listening to it so long ago! "People in every direction...no words exchanged, there's no time to exchange them.. all the little ants are marching, black and red antennae waving....and we all do it the same wayyyy!"

[@RichardDickson-to7zg]

Careful, a couple more DMB tunes and Che's liable to go on a binge for days!

[@ronnybriley9774]

I would love to see you guys react to Jimi Thing live in Central Park. It's amazing

[@JimONeil]

Great to see how much you guys loved live DMB. They were my favorite band for many years. I've seen them live 35ish times (lost count sometime after 30). This performance is a great representation of what their shows are like. That is very much the vibe for most, if not all of the 3 hours they are playing. I'd watch any reaction videos you do for these guys.

[@ElJuanSolo]

One of the best most underrated nasty drummers out there Mr. Carter Beauford !!!! The rest of the band is also damn good as is Dave.

[@williamlovett619]

This is Dope!!

[@Jude_196]

LOVE DMB!!! It's like a MUSICAL SCHMORGASBOARD!!!! Instrumentals are SO BOLD AND RICH!!! Can't go wrong with THIS rabbit-hole!! HUGS! 🤍☮

[@scottNNJ]

“Rapunzel” is the song, and violin performance, that got me hooked. I knew of Dave Matthews but wasn’t a big fan early on (they drew the stoner crowd at college, which wasn’t my crowd). I was given tickets to a show later on, and that song in particular blew me away. (No pun intended 😏)

[@ZChoate]

In another year we'll make it to Billy Strings. Hell yeah!!

[@martinforcejr6148]

if you never listen or follow DMB, do yourselves a favor and always listen to their live versions of each song and at least once in your life go to a concert. They JAM!!!

[@karenmikalofsky5287]

That was phenomenal! 🔥 Maybe I should put them on my concerts to see list. Pure energy!

[@davidmel2158]

My son is a huge DMB diehard. Has seen him all over the country including The Gorge (yearly Dave 3 day show) up in Oregon or Washington. I have seen Dave twice & it is a great time. His following reminds me of the Dead back in the 70's. My son also met Boyd ..... said he was a good guy sorry that he's not still with the band. He was a sight to see in concert. And don't get me started about Carter one of my top 5 drummers. The guy becomes part of that kit when he is playing. Incredible feel.

[@brianfisher6165]

I saw Dave Matthews Band for the first time in Vegas in 1995. They opened 3 shows for The Grateful Dead. It was the first time I ever saw an electric violin and they blew me away, they were sooo much fun!!!👍👍👌👌✌✌😁😁

Don't sleep on the drummer either. Carter is phenomenal with the sticks

Dave Matthews Band- The Last Stop (Live In Chicago '98)

[@joesites2250]

Amazingly talented, extremely humble masters at their craft. They are there for the love of the music. They ARE HALL OF FARMERs! Class of 2024 inductees into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They tour every year. Here’s a little piece of trivia for you; the Dave Matthews Band has sold more concert tix this century than any other musicians. A few of my friends dragged me to see them in the mid 90s and I was not a fan, at all. Well, since then I’ve been to see them live >100 times. One other thing y’all may not be too happy to hear. The violinist, Boyd Tinsley, one of the five founding members is no longer a member of the band due to sexual assault allegations. LeRoi Moore on sax passed way in 2008 of complications from an ATV accident about a month and a half prior to his passing.

[@Joe-d3t1t]

One of my favorite reaction videos on the internet. I love y’all boys

[@nickolasholt7137]

Not only do they still tour, but they are known as one of the best live bands you can ever see. RIP Leroi 😢 everyone of them is the top of their instrumental class. Dave with time Reynolds is also incredible beyond words have fun yall

[@Joe-d3t1t]

Absolute BANGER. Dave is built different, in a great way.

1 of the Best Live Songs I ever Saw&Heard!

[@loupi4bama]

That studio album got me through a dark emotional time in 95. Glad I got to see them twice... and I went by myself. Y'all should add that album to your list of reactions to whole albums. Total 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥! With that said yes, I love that violinist. One of the best to ever don that sweet instrument. That drummer is one bad ass MFer too. ooooweeeee!!!

[@shellyu.1406]

I’ve been fortunate to see them live several times and they really put on a show. He usually performs over Memorial Day weekend in the Gorge Amphitheater in George, WA. ❤❤❤

[@Alix777.]

The drummer is so good !

[@watchgeek6712]

This was in 2007, a benefit concert to raise money for Piedmont Park in Atlanta. The live show was released on CD in 2007 as well, "Live at Piedmont Park". The Allman Brothers were there too. More than 80, 000 in attendance. One of the best concerts I have ever been to! So glad you chose a live version of this song! Carter Beauford 🔥

[@NickEason-f9c]

My son is named after that drummer, best on the planet!

[@DMTsmoke]

Bill Bruford is still alive, no?

[@jamescoakley4319]

Been touring for 34 years, almost consecutively. I think 3 or 4 out of those they didn’t go out. And every stadium, arena, venue of every show is packed, with people from all backgrounds, all age. It’s insane. And once you go to the shows, studio albums just don’t hold a candle.

[@georgetaxi8179]

Thanks for finally getting to DMB. I knew this would be up your alley. DMB is great on record, but is a differnt beast live. You need to check them out when they come your way. La as a drummer you wont be able to take your eye off Carter Beauford. The dude is incredible and may be the best living drummer. Please check out Grey Street live Central Park. If fact do that whole concert and you wont be disappointed.

[@thomastaylor9579]

I was probably at that show, been to many, and they are a huge event, a bunch of amazing musicians, putting on a great show, which turns out to be a great time !
