Jazz musicians man. They are playing music not playing in the circus.

[@mn-wk3ju]

Dude that’s what I really like about this channel, you’re honest about if you have heard a tune before. Awesome channel!

[@Mr93jim]

Your anger at the intro is so frustrating to watch. I almost couldn’t get past it. The intro is the start of the concert not just the song. It’s what they do at times. You need to chill.

[@cameron339]

"Boring as hell to watch?" What do you expect them to do onstage? They're musicians not a circus act. There's plenty of metal bands out there who do all sorts of crap on stage with flames in the background, etc. and their music sucks.

[@ericflaherty4668]

That is so awesome you covered DMB.

[@flightgravity7483]

I get where you’re coming from in terms of the band not doing much on stage, but a song about the slaughter of Native Americans doesn’t exactly call for a big party on stage. Dave’s eyes were closed but there was passion in his vocal performance. The violin player was into it. No mention of Carter back there having the time of his life behind the drum kit? I mean yeah, it wasn’t a spectacle like a KISS show, but they weren’t corpses either.

[@3tjrunner3]

All allong the watchtower live central park is amazing

[@cameron339]

Quite frankly I don't think you've heard half of Dave Matthew's stuff. They have hundreds of songs many that are darker themed like this one. Most people only associate them with their poppy stuff that gets played on the radio. Many of their greatest songs were not "radio hits."

[@ryanjeffries2885]

So nuance goes right over your head. That's cool.

[@DevinMcMackin]

I mean, they are a jam band. Did the grateful dead jump around and crowdsurf? It's just a different thing. I get it - you value what you value, but there is something to be said for meeting stuff on its own terms. Also - DMB has a lot of very cool darker toned music that definitely rocks. You should listen to more live tracks without video. Would be great to see you focus on the music.

[@RMTStudios]

About the intro- that was a tease for another song, "Grace is Gone", that was stopped as a "sike" so after the song has a four beat rest built intro it at the into into the first chorus. It helps to build up the suspense and it's not "dead air", and is part of their regular shows. They do this all the time, as part of their jazz background, they like to mix things up. People come to DMB concerts for the music, and not just for the show. While you bring an interesting point of view, I feel like your criticism seems to be missing the forest for the trees. There's a reason they've consistently toured with sold out shows for over 30 years, and are the highest grossing band since the 90's. In addition, something to take into account is that the fiddle player, Boyd Tinsley was in the throes of a downward spiral that was affecting Dave and the bands chemistry. They eventually had no choice but to fire him, because of the chronic bs that was happening on and off stage with him. I feel this video was at a bad time for the band, as a live show choice. I know you're a seasoned pro, and as a fellow touring band sound professional, I can understand your criticisms of this particular performance, but in this case, I will respectfully disagree with you.

[@billyblackman9996]

All along the watchtower from Central Park. Believe me. If you haven’t seen it, you’ll freaking love it. I know you know Jimi Hendrix’s rendition…he made it his own and the entire performance is great…stage presence, audience…it’s got everything - I hope…I really hope you check it out

[@billyblackman9996]

And by the way. I’m a massive DMB fan, and can totally appreciate your reaction. I respect you for not pandering to tour audience. Do I love watching people love DMB? Absolutely! But I’d much rather watch a genuine reaction, which yours was, sir

[@-T3mp0-]

The intro gives them room to put it at any part of the concert, either at the beginning or in the middle. It also lets them do fakes which they are known to do to spice it up

[@keithjones4565]

Ok. I liked the delay. No kidding. Outside the box.

[@crowsinging]

You clearly don't understand DMB's live shows. EVERY SHOW'S SETLIST IS DIFFERENT. The intro and break that drove you crazy was building anticipation in the audience to see what song was coming. It's part of the great fun of a DMB concert.

[@beatlebum7057]

Some people do like to just go and see top tier musicians perform their songs live, and don't give a crap about all the theatrics. Usually bands with over the top production are trying to overcompensate for their sub par music.

[@Z_TPI]

Is there any way to hear your old cover? "Dont drink the water from home" sounds like a damn interesting concept..

[@THEDavidHeretic]

I wish, cellphones with cameras weren't really a thing back when we did it.

[@dennisbaker6810]

You may "see a show" but I listen to a performance. You said yourself they played the hell out of the song (though that was far from the best performance of that song I've ever heard). DMB has always put musicianship above showmanship and for mist of us that makes an awesome performance, if not a great show. Recently my wife and I saw a Kenny Chesney show He bounced around the stage carrying a guitar (he never really played it) and couldn't sing because he was out of breath. His opening acts, Zac Brown Band, Uncle Kracker, and Megan Moroney, had great performances, his sucked. We left after five songs because we were bored. Some times you need to grab a drink and listen.

[@nicholew350]

Have you heard the acoustic version with Tim Reynolds from Radio City Music Hall? That’s one of my favorite versions of this song.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

@@nicholew350 No I haven't, I'll have to check it out.

[@joeyanez9338]

I go to Dave Matthews concerts just to see Carter play.

[@ericflaherty4668]

The studio version had Alanis Morrisette on backing guest vocals fyi

[@sarajade5111]

I've always thought that he sounds like Peter Gabriel in the studio version of this.

[@keithrobertson2260]

Musicians , not dancing monkeys and are the 2nd most profitable live band after U2 over the last 30 years. Someone must like listening to live "MUSIC" got to Broadway for a show. But I'll still watch your reactions it's about sharing our thoughts.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

For the hundredth time...the song had nothing to do with my reaction or my evaluation. I made it extremely clear that I am very familiar with the song. Therefore, I had to base my reaction and my evaluation completely on the visual aspects. I can't make it any clearer than that. So if you still don't understand, then I can't help you.

[@crowsinging]

If you want a show, you need to watch Jethro Tull. Brilliant singer/songwriter/flutist/guitarist Ian Anderson in his prime was absolutely the best showman EVER. I suggest anything from the 1977 BBC Sight and Sound concert and/or the 1978 Madison Square Garden concert.

[@crookedspinemusic]

As always, Carter Beauford on drums is the most fun for me to watch.. probably the only reason I can tolerate this band.. and makes sense that this is your favorite song from them, they don’t have too many others that are this dark and “heavy”

[@RMTStudios]

Here's a few songs you may like- Halloween, Drive in/Drive Out and You may die trying and Rhyme and Reason are heavy lyrically as well.

[@Whiskers1206]

I’m a big dmb fan, n this is not my fav song. This song isn’t much “jam” or “off the rails” type song. It’s straight forward. I would suggest another live song to get the feel

[@cadesfamilytime1675]

This is my favorite also …. The only one I really adore to lol 😂

[@snitches4934]

Dave Matthews is known for being just a chill band laidback vibes.

[@jindas4217]

It's because in Europe american bands perform differently.

[@user-mj6bi5it8e]

Your score is appropriate for the lack of a performance that I saw on the video. It is interesting that way back when, quite a few groups did not move around much during their live shows. Those that actually performed were always remembered.

[@Holyman556]

Bruh, you need to stop worrying about mean comments. Good analysis as always even though I don’t agree with a few points. RAWR!

[@ericflaherty4668]

I agree with everything, with one exception in the scoring. I believe the solid performance musically should get more than a plus .2. I think it deserves at least 1 full point, which still makes it only a 3.5.

[@melvinsanchezgonzalez7624]

No es la primera vez que te veo reaccionando de esta manera. Recuerdo también una rabieta por una canción de RADIOHEAD porque el guitarrista. Personalmente creo que hay muchos estilos de música y tienen su público. No me parece una canción para hacer mucho más de lo que vi y tampoco vi al público enojado o aburrido. Cuando voy a un concierto de un artista que me gusta, voy a escucharlos en vivo. Agradezco que hagan algunas cosas visuales pero no es para mí lo más importante. Me parece una gran canción y una muy buena presentación para su estilo. También vi un público agradecido y feliz. Si voy a ver a DMB no espero un show de Coldplay o Rammstein, porque su música no se presta para hacer algo así. Ahora comprendo lo que querés dar a entender y basado es unos puntos generales pues la calificación parece bien. Tal vez tú escala simplemente no encaja con todos los grupos. De todas formas agradezco mucho tu tiempo.

[@toryhunterbooks]

Lol

[@briansmeltzer1679]

Yo calm down that intro supposed to have a pause before song plays.

[@chiefcrowtheflatearthworms3259]

Supermarket core

[@alexandracorrea571]

Your frustration looks so painful. I don't blame you at all for your rating.

[@joeyanez9338]

Get ready for the band nerds & college dudes in khakis shorts. They're going to come for you but I love the reaction

[@gregkirk1842]

College dudes in brown shorts? Uhhh.. ..that's quite a large random group to be hating on. Did you get picked on alot? Mean Dad? What's your issue?

[@albangel1689]

Oh shoot, is the video over? Sorry I fell asleep. Can you start it, awe never mind.

[@MaikKellerhals]

You're a little paranoid on this one...

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Paranoid? No. Disappointed? Yes.

[@jenniemafune4063]

Not really familiar w/ them. Based on performance/score i wont be checking out their other songs. However, its always good to see new bands debut on the ch. Thx 4 the react dave!

[@hardcorechristopher9174]

Performance was bad but the song was nice

[@BledsoesInternalBleeding]

I personally don’t enjoy their music but I appreciate what they do. I can totally understand why they have such a large following.

[@GodWeenSatan]

Its looks like they are all at a job that they don't like

[@Nate-bu1ng]

What do you mean Carter Beauford is literally smiling the entire time on the drums lol.

[@crookedspinemusic]

@@Nate-bu1ngSeriously, he’s half the show for me personally

[@Nate-bu1ng]

@@crookedspinemusic Agreed

[@user-qp9so2zo1z]

Ugh this song is terrible

[@gregkirk1842]

So the musicianship and sound quality is only 2% of a live performance? Why even have music at all then? Just go see dancers. Or, go see a big lyp synced Taylor swift show with props l, lights, and 50 idiots dancing. Also, when Dave closes his eyes, it actually connects people in a much deeper way than someone doing the splits or whatever. Maybe, because your a musician you have a skewed sence of what the fans like. Im totally fine with a bamd that is totally still. Its just a different genre. Your so fair and open minded usually but this just seems personal.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

You really need to go back and watch the entire video, especially the parts in the video where I very clearly explain what is happening and why it's happening in regards to the scoring. For the hundredth time...the song had nothing to do with my reaction or my evaluation. I made it extremely clear at the beginning of the video, and before I gave my score, that I am VERY FAMILIAR with the song. I love this song, it's probably my favorite song by Dave Matthews Band. But since I have heard it before (many times), I can't take the song or the song writing into account at all. Therefore, I had no choice but to base my reaction and my evaluation completely on the visual aspects. This has been how it has ALWAYS BEEN on the channel in regards to doing reactions to songs I already know or have heard previously to the reaction. I can't make it any clearer than that. So if you still don't understand, then I can't help you.
