Hello luv ❤ Highly recommend Kasey Chambers, "Lose Yourself" Eminem cover live Civic Theatre 😉

[@GreggOliverBass]

thank you

[@BOOMNERD51]

Thank you, Polo!

[@TheJoshuaPimentel]

This is from my high school days. It’s nice to reminisce but…DMB still sucks.

[@shelleyparsons5735]

That's strange. I've been trying to get onto Telegram b/c you asked to text you on Telegram. I'm so hopeless with all this stuff. Oh well. I'll keep watching your reactions anyway.

[@user-eo5zn4hq8s]

When you said this band is incredible, all of us fans nodded our heads and said "Mm-hmm, exactly."

[@johnanderson6614]

One of the best drummers on the planet. 💯

[@KJz1]

DMB would not been near as big without Carter's dynamic drumming. It's the entire foundation of the band.

[@kelsosemail]

"If this doesn't sound good to you I don't know what you're hearing." PREACH, brother!!

[@robdavis3967]

RIP LeRoi Moore, one of the best Sax players around!

[@ShellieV1971]

#41 is musically complex. IMO one of their best live songs out of many

[@richle905]

One of the best bands to see live. Their studio albums don't do them justice.

[@dirtyfrank9886]

LeRoi really spoke to us through his sax and we loved him. So much soul. So glad we still get to enjoy his gift forever. RIP

[@queenoftheworld1]

Yes he did. He was such an amazing talent and provoked such a unique sound. May he RIP.

[@ddtwdmb2]

These guys are some of the most talented musicians on earth, and the profound wisdom of his lyrics are ancient, and deep to the core of humanity.

[@lancelaney6253]

I've seen DMB over 50 times live...no 2 sets the same...they invoke so much emotion...simple pleasures of sound. ...as a musician they create a kaleidoscopic sound...no better than experiencing them at the Gorge along the Columbia river...6 times seeing them there...a highlight of our summer. I see death everyday as a healthcare professional....DMB helps keep me sane ....life is a gift...dont be obtuse...embrace your reality....live...rejoice in good sound.. if u haven't seen DMB...then you're missing out...Gorge 2024 will be lit. Just close your eyes and listen......your welcome !

[@brandonboucher7090]

A live Dave Matthew’s show is some of the most uplifting energy around. People happy dancing, passing the B’s and just vibing together. 🙂

[@staceyneedscoffee]

This is so true, such beautiful shows!

[@marytriolo3869]

Amen! Shout out to the Gorge crew!

[@andydicken8342]

Bro have you ever been to a f****** concert a Dave Matthews concert because you have no idea what you're missing and your critiquing s*** that you've never experienced how the f*** old are are you

[@thiagolopes2415]

The song that was playing on the exactly moment that my daughter was born. Priceless…

[@erinhansen2110]

I used to work in a major concert venue... seen thousands of shows. Dave Matthews easily is in the Top 10 for best shows... they bring it EVERY SINGLE TIME and each show is unique. Go to a concert before they retire... it's worth every penny. Glad you re-found them... great reaction! PS... more Dave!!

[@esmaanderson1802]

Yes. More Dave Matthews.

[@jordancieslak6491]

When people say they don’t like “jam bands” I’m baffled! It’s basically saying you don’t like music. The instrumentation is at such a high level, how can’t anyone enjoy a group at the highest level delivering you something so beautiful?

[@veronicag3135]

Perfectly said.

[@redcyn3170]

EVERYBODY gets to shine! That’s a real band!

[@chrisjenkins6120]

DMB will always be the best. You can’t ask for a tighter group of musicians. The drummer is so smooth, chews bubble gum and blows bubbles while he plays. I will always love these guys. Play more Dave Mathew’s Band! Please! Now you’re hooked! Love ya Polo!☮️💟

[@TheCheoriginal]

He(the drummer) is always smiling!!! Love him!

[@stevenslane3074]

Blows bubbles ? Really ?? Sheesh !!

[@toddbutler8102]

Carter Beauford for me is a top 5 drummer of all time

[@a3gill]

Lot of people dislike DMB because they were told to. Plus their initial break was with a pretty heavy Fraternity crowd which comes with some "stuff" but anyone to actually give them a chance isn't disappointed.

[@slackthompson9231]

Very much like the Dude told people to hate the Eagles.

[@Wrangzilla]

Exactly

[@bodhileaf]

I always wondered how the hell such meatheads(aka, fratboys)loved such good music. The power of music...

[@drewcliff82]

Yea idk lol. A good freind of mine is a big fan and has had me listen to a lot of their songs. It just isn't for me. I think Crash is up there with the absolute worst popular songs ever.

[@bmeggs19]

This music sounds like it belongs in an elevator. I've never been a fan of this guy's music. He's better than Phish though.

[@jefflambeth1054]

Two step …the Live in Central Park , is maybe one of the greatest live recordings I’ve ever heard!!! Amazing band and incredible vocals….plus 100,000 people in the park. Thank You for sharing this terrific band on your channel🤙

[@jimbo913]

Agree 💯

[@meriannestoneback7436]

Abso-freakin-lutely. Two Step is my favorite song of all time by any artist and the Central Park veraion is mind-blowing.

[@toadabone]

It is amazing! I'm so glad I was there for it.

[@MsSweetNNaughty]

Absolutely one of the best live recordings! Super cool that it was a FREE concert, too!

[@egoman9]

I seriously cannot get tired of watching that.

[@a3gill]

They really are a live band. It feels like their "studio" work has always just been someone deciding to record a show.

[@sammartino504]

very true. I've seen them a couple dozen times live. Great live band. We will be at the kick-off concert for the summer 2024 tour in Tampa!!!

[@kennethrivas4916]

DMB is a great live band. Studio albums are outstanding. Great musicianship.

[@ChristianAndrew1.4]

Listener supported is an incredible live performance by this band. One of those nights where it all clicks . RIP Le Roi Moore , not the same band after his passing.

[@MsSweetNNaughty]

The album that hooked me on DMB!

[@ChristianAndrew1.4]

@@MsSweetNNaughty Its magic all the way through too!

[@corycooper9878]

YES!!! DMB is phenomenal! Carter Beauford is a MONSTER on the drums!

[@steecie3045]

The genius of this song is its pure stream of consciousness lyrics. There is no hook. There is no chorus. There is no repeat of any line. Yet, you are drawn into the lyrics. Then you add the genius of this band, giving you time to ponder the lyrics you just heard with their insane musical talent. Its perfection. This song is my soul.

[@theresab72]

This is my favorite dmb song and I’ve heard it a million times and I never even realized that about no hook. Cool!

[@michaelmckinney5509]

Well damn! Crazy I never thought about it till now but by golly you’re correct

[@elmitchification]

I’ve always preferred The heavier genres but saw them live and turned out to be one of the best concerts ever

[@katethomas9501]

Same.

[@Daniel-xo4cc]

Thank you for rising above the hate. Seriously talented musicians . Period.

[@jhill1023]

Out of all the DMB Songs over the years, #41 is by far the most listened to and favorited by the masses. So many layers…

[@rustbeltwriter]

I am so glad you're digging deeper into this band. As a deep music lover I have never, EVER understood the hate this amazingly talented group gets or why they have somehow been branded "frat boy music." The band is INSANELY talented and their live concerts are among the best I have been to in my decades of concert going.

[@aureawolf3382]

Top 3 is so tough because they have so many great ones. Here’s a few that come to mind: Rapunzel, Dancing Nancies, and Don’t Drink the Water. Live versions are always amazing.

[@drivebybodypierce]

12:29 - You’re absolutely correct. The 90’s were an amazing time for everything. Music, movies, coffee houses & small, intimate performances of spoken word, literature, and everyone was way cooler with people’s differences too. It was perfect.

[@ShellieV1971]

You really have to see Dave Matthews live makes a huge difference. amazing!,

[@robertharper5087]

LIVE AT RED ROCKS is an album you definitely have to listen to, even on your own. I think it’s one of the greatest live albums ever. I love 90s and early 2000 DMB. As they evolved I didn’t like it as much. But I’ll never have anything bad to say about DMB. The studio albums Under the Table, Crash, and Before these Crowded Streets were just so damn good. With some really good live ones in that era also. Dave and Tim at Luther College is a must also. It may blow your mind!!

[@PebbleBeachSouth]

All true statements 👍

[@cassianfalkener3706]

Agreed. Those three studio albums were their pinnacle. I'm not sure about Red Rocks... I need to give it a listen. Listener Supported is one of the best live albums I've listened to, and I own it on both CD and DVD. Recommendations: Long Black Veil (from Listener Supported) - listen to Johnny Cash sing it first in order to get an idea of how many good artists sing the song. DMB's version actually captures the feeling behind the story being told, and the other, happier sounding versions I have heard make no sense to me. DMB's version had become the benchmark for me. Grey Street - a later track, but it always stood out to me Crash Into Me - not even going to try... I like a lot of what they do, but that is the song you need to do next.

[@FirstNameLastName-io5co]

​@@PebbleBeachSouth Listener Supported is a favorite of mine, especially Warehouse, which is my favorite live version of all time.

[@kimberlylabrec246]

​@cassianfalkener3706 after first watching Listener Supported years ago, I became obsessed with Long Black Veil. Hadn't hears it before and just loved it. The emotion that Dave conveys in that performance is just amazing, always gets me.

[@feminist5641]

Live at Luther College with Tim and Dave also a great album!

[@brianshickey]

I’m a huge DMB fan and 41 is easily my favourite song, especially when played live. It shows their depth a a band that is so incredibly talented. So happy you chose this.

[@joanlajara3939]

My absolute favorite Dave Matthews Band song ever!! Always have this song played everywhere!! Glad you liked it too!! RIP LeRoi Moore best saxophonist ever!! Boyd Tinsley, Carter Beaufort and awesome, and Stefan’s Lessard and of course Dave!! Great stuff! The studio is even better!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ryanspeicher733]

Dave may be the face and the star but they truly are a “Band” of some of the most amazing musicians.

[@MariaMartinStudio]

I pretty much agree, but have you ever been to a solo Dave show? Mezmerizing. And funny cuz he usually tells stories ;-)

[@MarkMonolithOfficial]

Such an amazing band and song! They are all such high level musicians. Their drummer Carter Beauford is an absolute master!!

[@Jude_196]

Carter's drums are SO BEEFY and syncopated...SO GOOD!!

[@starkeddard6279]

Three favorite dave mathew songs 1. Bartender (live version at radio city music hall) 2.. Say Goodbye 3. Proudest Monkey

[@feminist5641]

Say Goodbye from LIVE at Luther College 🔥🔥🔥

[@matildafishes9931]

Any live concert is fantastic. The band in the 90s was the gold standard in my mind, however, they are still my favorite band. Their jam sessions are unbelievable. RIP LeRoi. He is so missed. My favorites that I think are worth a listen are, Bartender, All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan did this originally, I believe), Grey Street, and A Song That Jane Likes.

[@shannonhealey704]

Love that you note The Song That Jane Likes! Always my favorite. An uplifting lilt for the world.

[@ForceFed]

Bro I love how you're open to new music. This is the reason I keep coming back. Do your thing Polo. Straight love bro.

[@Konastang18]

100% agree. Always good to see folks like POLO have their eyes opened to what real music and musicianship is. Counter to what they were raised on. Polo has really evolved. Love it.

[@nickicrowell9965]

Because it's the best song ever written

[@moviesnob1979]

I’m an unapologetic DMB fan! Know almost every song and have seen them 30 times live! Appreciate your appreciation of Dave! 💙🙏🏻

[@droppedyogurt]

Every DMB song is an onslaught of instruments. The more u listen, the more each instrument stands out. So pleasing to the ears.

[@cliveklg7739]

There is a live performance of this song with the band 'The Flecktones' where they both perform together, and they do this song together live. It goes 30+ minutes with all the solos and riffs for just this song. And its fantastic. It looks like all members of both bands had their own solo riff. They are very charitable in their home community in Charlotte.

[@taobarb1]

Great track. It’s more complex than many, and the DMB does some complex stuff. I think your taste in music has simply become deeper and more appreciative of musicality over time. We either grow or we stagnate. And as for disparaging remarks by some, we love and appreciate what we love and appreciate. If folks can’t accept that there are as many personal opinions and musical tastes as there are genres, they just need to move on. Thank you!🙏❤️🙏

[@Jude_196]

TOTALLY AGREE!!

[@cassianfalkener3706]

Agreed. I know Polo loves Tool. I had friends who were fans, back in the 90s, but I never heard anything that caught my attention or interested me. Rather than jump on his reaction videos for Tool and complain about them, I just skip the video and keep an eye out for something that lines up better with my own tastes. Not sure why people feel the need to comment on a video they probably didn't watch and complain (to put it politely) about how they don't like it. You don't have to like it. You also don't have to tell everyone you don't like it. Nobody cares. :/

[@erinmeece3314]

This is my fav DMB song of all time and I'm glad you enjoyed it!! A couple others to check by DMB are "The Stone" and "Stolen Away on 55th and 3rd", especially live tracks. Enjoy 😊

[@lynnfreeman4357]

My all time favorite of this Band so glad you listened too it.

"The Stone" Live at City field "Two Step" Live at Wirgley Field Dave Matthews is actually from South Africa, he's an interesting dude with an interesting background with an interesting perspective.

[@paulmikolaj2215]

[@katherinebosse5706]

Recognizing genius is suggestive I guess. I know it took me a few years, but I remember the first time I heard Dave sing a Willie Nelson song called “Funny how time slips AWAY”, it’s like a door opened and now I can’t get enough! You should hear that by the by. So great to watch you re-discover DMB ❤

[@tylerarnold943]

People love them or hate them. They helped me through my high-school years.

[@marciepiercecolleary7395]

I love this and your appreciation of my favorite DMB song. You are seeing how they are all masters of their craft. May LeRoi Moore (sax player) RIP. He's been gone years now, but he was truly one of the most talented sax players on earth. This band knows how to ebb and flow and take you on a remarkable journey every, single time. My favorite band!

[@marybethnix6176]

I found DMB when I was 12, now 42 and still my favorite band. Seeing them live is some of the best times I’ve ever had. Please enjoy more, you won’t be disappointed. #41 is my personalized license plate, obviously for good reason 🥰

[@thepetteys6199]

So enjoyed watching this with you. Love watching people find the beauty of the Dave Matthew’s Band. This song on this live show hooked me 21 years ago. And so beautifully spoken at the end!

[@michaeldale4057]

i know every single word to every single song they ever put out as a band. No regrets. To this day i still go on 2+ hour drives listening to live double albums by DMB from start to finish, belting out all the lyrics as if i was Dave himself. Best band ever.

[@insomniac_138]

DMB fan since 99. #41 is definitely a favorite. They have so many great songs...Crush/Everyday to name a couple.

[@rebajackson2369]

This is America! Love that! I am a DMB fan but have never seen them live or done a deep dive. I wasn't familiar with this track and I'm blown away by the band. Such amazing talent. I've always loved Daves phrasing and timing. He's got a really unique vocal sound. Not a bad range either.

I never really paid attention to this band but since I have been enjoying reaction channels I have noticed how good they are! Thank you ❤ they are all great musicians!

[@tuckerbamberg7647]

Give them a serious deep dive and I bet you’ll be hooked. I’ve been to so many concerts in my life I lost count. Saw these guys for the first time in 97’ and have been to over 30 of their shows since… still my favorite live band of all time

[@mariejustme]

DMB live is an experience everyone should have at least once. I’ve been a huge fan for decades. Dave is brilliant, he has a great jam band who will blow your mind. What a rabbit hole! Keep going!

[@nypinstripes2388]

One of the rare bands that’s always better live. Their mainstream music, the music you would hear on the radio, is generally not their best. Their best was what wasn’t mainstream probably with the exception of Crush.

[@PhasersAndArrows]

You’re one of very few people who have reacted to a DMB song and you picked a perfect launching point. Tough to narrow it down to a top 3 but here’s the 3 that come to mind for me: Warehouse, Crush, and Grey Street.

[@Klaygirl]

My top 3 change weekly 😂

[@cassianfalkener3706]

I lined up two out of three with you on the songs I recommended. Warehouse was an honorable mention, but I had to go with Long Black Veil. There are very few exceptions to my rule that you should listen to the studio version first, so that you can better appreciate the live version. DMB has some notable exceptions, and Warehouse is one of them. Didn't hate the studio version, but never got into it. The live version is where I finally heard enough of the lyrics to put together some meaning and discover the depth of the meaning of that song. And if the song is on Listener Supported, and you want a live version, that's the one I recommend.

[@Dep117]

I recommend checking out either Watchtower (cover live) or you might die trying live. Both are awesome songs and their version is pretty underrated/under viewed.

[@leahdickinson3813]

Loved DMB since 96 when my then 10 yr old son asked to go to a show. That was it, I was totally hooked. Roi was a huge loss , he was so so smooth, I’d spend entire songs watching just him , Boyd leaving changed the music again, but to,their credit they added Jeff Coffin on sax , Roi had already brought on Rashawn Ross on trumpet before he passed ad Buddy Strong now on keyboards. Tim’s been in and out of the band forever . They are reenergized, absolutely loving what they still do and seeing them live is still incredible and a joy. Live shows are where they shine. keep going deep into their music , you won’t regret .

[@eggstu]

Carter Beauford on drums is probably my 2nd favorite drummer next to Danny Carey

[@gordocojones]

Exactly same here (I lean toward Beauford).

[@BehindTheScreen118]

My favourite version of my favourite DMB song! This is my favourite sax solo of all time. Leroi Moore is the reason I went to music school for saxophone. RIP.

[@mattkummerer1260]

Two Step, Crush, Say Goodbye…. Find the live versions, and I think you will love it! Great video!!

[@Polo037]

Agreed, two-step is a amazing song. If you never head it give it a listen to, IMO its the best DMB song

[@meriannestoneback7436]

Yup, Two Step on the first Red Rocks album and, of course, the Central Park version, are the best!

[@jeffbartholomew1152]

Two Step for sure!

[@jodimcmurdo506]

Amazing Band. Love their music. True artists! Love Grave digger too!

[@juliettespain7994]

[@juliettespain7994]

Did u knock on my door, sir?

[@rplewis]

This band just loves to play music. I've seen a song with a 4-minute radio edit run for 18 minutes in a concert.

[@Bobaman5400]

See them live every year. Still one of the best live bands out there

[@katscully]

Glad you like this. Hope you do more DMB. You should catch them live. They tour every year & are PHENOMENAL! A next song worth seeing is Dave Matthews Band - "All Along The Watchtower" &/or "Don't Drink The Water" both from the (from The Central Park Concert 2003)! Fantastic.🥂

[@beanvillen24]

Dave was huge in the 90’s he was different and it was great!

Live at Red Rocks is what hooked me, especially best of what’s around. I love all the favs-41, ants, crush, two step, the stone…but also check out their newer stuff-again and again, break free, idea of you, do you remember, why I am…💛

[@suebitterman7852]

Watching you react took me back to my first time. Their music fills my heart with joy ❤❤ they had me at hello and my love for them just continues to grow. Please listen to Say Goodbye, Two Step, Dancing Nancies and then just keep going.....

[@scotttownsand1533]

Those who know, love it 😊

[@tamaramckelvey6804]

True talent that is absolutely amazing. Spend their lives on the road, constant touring... night after night to sold out crowds. An orchestra of musicians with an ability to come together in such a beautiful way. Crash and dreaming tree are 2 of my favorites. Find his collaborations with others like tim reynolds, willie nelson. Dave's work with farm aid. Im such a fan. If your first exposure waa his videos then i understand. Dave is very eccentric. Enjoy exploring his music

[@musicairplanes4884]

Have seen them many times over the years and they just keep getting better all the time. If you love music and have the chance to see them live just go.

[@doctorpinkie]

SO excited to see you react to DMB. I’ve been a fan for 25+ years and seen them live over 40 times. There is nothing that compares to the energy of the whole band, clicking on all cylinders, and witnessing their amazing musicianship. My favorite song is Two Step (Central Park version), but you should also watch some performances with the current lineup (new sax player, new keyboard player, and the addition of a killer trumpet player). Highly recommend Warehouse, Don’t Drink the Water, or Grey Street!

[@rodneywood6441]

Two Step live - Central Park, Ants Marching live - Piedmont Park, So Much to Say live - Piedmont Park

[@scaletipping4715]

DMB brilliant arrangments. Full of talent the whole band

[@rypennell192]

Greatest song ever!!!!!

[@davepahnke9393]

The Dave Matthews Band was exciting to listen to when they got noticed.. the mix of instruments and wildly talented musicians playing them created a complex but intriguing sound that made me want to hear more. I am sorry I never got a chance to see them in concert as I lived in Colorado at the time so really have no excuse. but their live stuff is amazing, and I get you about the King speech.. growing up in inner city Baltimore with a mom who marched with Dr. King on DC makes me even more appreciative of seeing a band of beautiful humans making beautiful music.

[@richeaton5752]

Dave Matthews, John Hiatt, Gin Blossoms, The Connells, Matthew Sweet, & The Cruel Sea were the bands that got me through the 90s...
