Dave Matthews Band - Rapunzel (Live In Chicago)

Live In Chicago

[@paulseano5100]

One of the best live recordings ever. Sometimes the live version brings out the best of the studio version. This live version really accentuates the song. The first time I heard this song I was driving limousines and the limo owner had the CD in the CD changer and right as I started up the car and started to drive off this song came on and I heard Dave Matthews Band for the first time. I was immediately drawn to their music and Carter Buford really inspired me as a fellow drummer. Funny how things happen. Sorry I missed out on a lot their music early on. DMB Number 41 is also a gem. Enjoy! Thanks for sharing.

[@barrelracer17]

I have MAD respect for anyone that loves this band. How come more people don't GET IT? This is REAL MUSIC people. Truly ORIGINAL music. Dave is so sexy. =D

[@ecoRfan]

The difficulty of this song must be like 12 out of 10. The mixed meters and funk rhythms show some incredible musicianship.

[@cesarvaldez112975]

@@ecoRfan Absolutely. Gotta love all the modulations between 5/4 and 6/8. I transcribed the drum parts in ‘99. Needless to say, I had my work cut for me.

[@ezpzyogi]

There is a huge following for Dave! He was the leading live performance artist for like 10+ years.

[@IceThatJaw]

Finally, a version where you can actually hear the bass.

[@lawrenceofarabia5299]

Rapunzel, The DMB in classic form, the entire front is simply put a bunch of talented players, everything the dmb does is rare. Thats musicianship, ah that ah that's all folks !!!!

[@Allplussomeminus]

I searched for this... I rocked out so dang hard just now.

[@ChihirotheShibaInu]

3:00 Coolest scream ever!

[@BIPboomboompow]

Always my favorite version

[@ppmh]

DMB are so amazing with their unique style of music!! There's no way to compare them with other great artist. I grew up listening to them, and yeah they've changed in some ways, but they never lost that special thing that makes them who they are. It's sad that some people just don't understand it....

[@relativelybasic]

Boyd's so badass his bow has broken hairs hanging off it and he's like "I don't give a fuck. I'ma bow the shit out of this violin."

[@cha0s71]

Can't not LOVE DMB!!! Such phenomenal artists!!!!

[@Jimnkrs43]

DMB= AMAZING!!! there is not a single band like them now, and with the way "music" is now i doubt there will be another!!! they give me chills with every song, and so much feeling in every word!

[@KaileyB616]

THIS is the version I was looking for! They’re always amazing, but sometimes they are just absolutely perfect 👌

[@Squeege85]

I remember seeing this song live at RFK on my 16th birthday. I went so nuts when Pantala hit and they cranked into this tune. It was pure bliss on so many levels. The band comes together as a solid unit on this song and they just become amazing!

[@MissShan]

My fave band of all time!!!!👌

[@randomite88]

his vocals were at their BEST (live) in this concert. My God these people amaze me to no end.

[@miroeight]

The perfect version of Rapunzel and it's shortened on both ends

[@ecoRfan]

0:05 Rick Beato used that footage recently in his video about the guitar in the 90's, citing its 5/4 time signature.

[@Amylasia]

omg, the violinist's bow is shredded.

[@tragic1Kingdom]

Giving me, giving me shivers...

[@eaccess08]

Carter is the most amazing drummer I've ever seen. Yes, that's Leroi Moore on the Sax. RIP Leroi.

[@annsan33]

Givin' me giving me the shivers!!!!!!!!

[@tundrachic]

OMG great sound and all..... I am cranking this one as I work.....

[@jwsanders00]

Ahhh!!! The good ol' days!

[@rzsports80]

best band of the modern era

[@clickman03]

Best ever...

[@MRSAGFLY54]

Dave you tell her open wide i just want to eat to ,up and down you push me and then you tell her i just think the world of you.Who you kiddin you dirty bastard. Personally this is one of the best songs i think you've written.You know man my friend John Siket as you know did the engineering on your Crash Album.Nice work John.

[@3Staradoc3]

Off beat madness! Love Dave matthews!

[@Allplussomeminus]

I think they were directly hooked into Creativity itself this night.

[@BassSmasher41]

That scream on 3:01 is just awesome And the entire song is just amazing...wow

[@Davepumpkinhead]

Such a great live song.

[@bmhall04]

That scream just after the 3:00 mark is incredible!

[@HanaEurope]

Yes! Great lyrics !

[@Tristhar]

This Music is pretty amazing!

[@lgplayboater]

[@jellyfishWOAH]

[@lapptavares]

I LOVE DMB!!!!

[@andreg81]

YEAH!

[@fearjess]

They are so young!

[@Allplussomeminus]

1:08 Sheeeesh, that snare :)

[@colin_rose]

10/8.

[@thestickmane]

Boyd killed it on this song. He must re-hair his bow after every concert!

[@KwameNewton]

That's some crazy stuff...

[@DanielLaNoue]

i'm gonna give the 2 people that disliked this video the benefit of the doubt that they hit the wrong button after a few too many soda pops....

[@TheDew_888]

🤣

[@Dubh86]

Indeed they do ;)

[@dbabmgv09]

second favorite live band behind ewf

[@WhereIEndAndYouBegin]

Holding out hope.

[@54spiritedwill54]

AMAZING !

[@patt009]

spot on dude that album rocks. i would be fine with going to a show in which they only played songs from that album but that doesnt mean his other stuff is bad...Rock on Dave but RIP Leroi, will truely be missed.

[@MinecraftCobblestoned]

3:08 - Rip that bow up!!!!!!!

[@jaminlikesdrums]

Amazing song. Perverted lyrics.

[@almadora]

i am rapunzel. i just got a haircut, but there is plenty left for a knight to climb onto.

[@rogercarvalho7202]

I Agree!!

[@buckdancer421]

Epic.

[@diyth]

I was gonna change songs when it broke into the jam, but it's just so good. ....That's like when someone makes...at the barbecue, someone makes really good chicken and then you're eatin the chicken.."DAMN THIS CHICKEN IS GOOD!"

[@MrYBI3]

Level of difficulty: Dave Matthews band.

[@Lexcoaster]

It's SOO good... and then it ends prematurely. :(

[@Trendall]

Oh, you genius. Thanks very much. :-D

[@DINGLELARRY]

search in google, Live in Chicago at the United Center 12.19.98

[@KwameNewton]

Lol, so true!

[@ReckoningGD]

Too bad it ends to early, i got the mp3 of the concert and it continues abit after that. Though, i gotta admit that the jam at the end is probably the best live jam i've heard. It's rocking goood!

[@Tristhar]

Chicago - United Center 12.19.98

[@junkhead1751]

Ok, so I guess the camera guys are just gonna ignore the fact that there's someone shredding a saxophone on the right side of the stage

[@barcahooligan]

i have to say that dmb is like a drug.....i probably will never stop listening to them:)

[@dubumusic]

epic describes his show at the post gazette pavilion in Pittsburgh last night. this was included in the set list... gross with tim reynolds... i had butterflys... no homo

[@CinnamonSpicemmm]

360 friends...I will send you his music if you'd like...Dave is awesome...awesome...awesome...so talented...this song...such sex! enjoy it to the fullest! LOL He is perfect just perfect in concert!

[@ChippyBlane]

What you say is true, yes, but it also happens to just about every good musical group out there over time. This group has been around for over 20 years now, of course they're not fresh. They change, and their music changes accordingly. And the reason they get these "immature kids" coming to their shows is because they have become so popular that even "immature kids" have heard stories of their greatness. That is no crime, my friend.

[@nocturnezero]

I don't love the band, but Carter is AMAZING.

[@TannerDMB41]

Dave ; Gibson Chet Atkins Tim ; Gibson Les Paul Black Beauty

[@DMBFAN513]

That trumpet dude is Rashawn Ross

[@druminid]

I hate it when videos end prematurly.

[@bartolo333]

@jlees84 His syncopation is ridiculous.

[@ecoRfan]

Gabriel Bartolomei especially at the beginning. Pickup notes and syncopated funk rhythms on top of five-quarter time signature. Anything but straightforward, yet rocks crazy hard and accessible to those who aren’t into math rock. DMB is seriously incredible.

[@yourmother3207]

I'm convinced Boyd's playing peaked in the mid 90s and slowly declined

[@somemonkey3444]

@caseyjdog32 I think he notices that too. "...and I love the way you mooove!!" :-D

[@fashionandmusic921]

i know, its sooo messed up! But its cool.

[@zipcodeness]

I think most of his songs are suggestive.

[@QuadrophonicToppling]

is there a live in chicago dvd or video somewhere i don't know about? this concert rocked!

[@UphillBattle17]

Boyd Tinsley

[@almadora]

i am rapunzel.

[@Nigeriando]

no need to be hostile hot shot. DMB is the largest grossing touring band of the modern era, and done when theres shit like youtube where you can just watch any concert. This song is great live or studio, if your not a fan, just let it be at that. or just smoke something and put on the central park concert, maybe you'll be a fan then!

[@artjock47]

I always thought this band was bigger....hmmm, just a singer and a violin player. :)

[@_NotEnoughMana]

How does Dave get all those grooves in an acoustic guitar??? :O

[@miroeight]

this should have been in the same video with pantala naga pampa

[@blahman178]

is leroi playing soprano sax? if he is, he is kicking kenny g's ass with that thing at the end of this video.

[@DumbBananas]

he was playing so much that it just broke alot of his bow string

[@bjjdave]

how long ago was this? dave looks so young

[@srpdesigns]

Other musicians look up at DMB and think to themselves How In God's name did they get up there!!!!

[@DMBFAN513]

yah dude, rashawn ross is huge

[@arturplonka8027]

Correcting Wikipedia articles late at night lead me here

[@skytheterrible5087]

Is this a 5 beat time signature?

[@pebblefrog196]

@artjock47 Your forgetting the drummer, saxophonist, bassist....

[@NateMcMurph]

damn I think Boyd needed a bow rehairing after this one.

[@joshpr]

When was this recorded?

[@garfunkel5000]

4:54 jesus christ, boyd tinsley

[@artjock47]

@pebblefrog196 ....yeah.....it was a joke. The video is 95% Dave and Boyd.

[@pebblefrog196]

@artjock47 oh sorry lol I misunderstood. Most dmb videos are like that :l

[@FLEALEKE]

amazing ! just a little bit slow than the original =)

[@acdc47]

id go dave just saying :)

[@agusr32]

creo que empieza con compases de 5, y despues sigue con compases de 4

[@Wells101]

@maloy2222 Gibson Chet Atkins SST

[@georgeorlando705]

I was unaware that "DRMMER" was a word.
