Dave Matthews Band The Gorge #11: Halloween

Here's a halloween special for you! DMB playing Halloween live at The Gorge.

[@bray1872]

I feel like people don;t even realize how metal this song is

[@jakeflorian3334]

YES! I know right

[@hail_471]

So true

[@arthurfranklin9315]

Yes, I've tried to get bands of mine to cover it, but they don't understand

[@matthewmishley8457]

Agreed. People won't accept it because of Dave's voice. This song is as metal as you can get with an acoustic rhythm guitar.

[@jordanarrington4850]

So good

[@TDawggggg]

This version of Halloween can not be topped. Fucking hell. It's so good.

[@TDawggggg]

I'm back a year later. Its still fucking amazing.

[@armandogalla6484]

I come here instead of the album because this version is better

[@Marowa4449]

personlly like the MGM version but this one is still really heavy

[@narcoleptic988]

The John Paul Jones version great too

[@thejamnasium6447]

Dave and Tim Live at Luther College would like a word

[@efrdman2008]

This is one of my favorite songs on the planet just because of the raw emotion you hear in his voice. That yell is fucking cazy, and I used to be a metal head.

[@MeatCatCheesyBlaster]

There's still time to be a metal head again

[@hail_471]

His voice, the despair and desperation is so, so amazing

[@FatGocks]

This is gonna be my wedding song.

[@YonderMountainMama]

How’d it go brother!? 💕

[@NicoleMiller-ys2cf]

@Fatgocks I hope you're being sarcastic. "YOUR LOVE IS HELL, YOUR LOVE IS HELL, YOUR LOVE IS HELL!!!!!!!" "WHY DO YOU COME AROUND ME?? WHY DO YOU CLIMB INTO MY FUCKING TREE???!!!!!" Groovy wedding tune , dude.

[@thegteam4349]

Best live band I've ever seen.

[@JacobDerwin]

Carter Beauford is easily the most underrated drummer of all time. He deserves a place among the best

[@inyomoufizaWabbit]

Among? He’s the big tree in the woods and everyone with half a brain knows this

[@mreketis4]

Agreed

[@briantaylor5932]

DMB has A hard rock song l love it

[@cd-yq9ou]

He has one...he's literally ra ked top 10 all time lol

[@richardstone4397]

@@briantaylor5932they have more than 1

[@tylerpirc]

holy crap. i have watched this video so many times and never really noticed that there are only three of them there. wow.

[@tachycardia2224]

A stripped-down version somehow having MORE power. Love re-living this!! Minds collectively blown.

[@thatdonkey7215]

I think the somewhat “over produced” nature of the studio version saps the power this song has. Live versions have always had so much power behind them. The studio cut has barely a fraction of the bite any live version has

[@darrinarmstrong5294]

Daves devilish smile tells you.. its about to go down!

[@blumkin1667]

changes the lyrics to this song almost every time he sings it. love it!!

[@thelona108]

This is why i love all dave matthews bands live albums, they never play a song exactly the same twice. One of the rare bands where thier live performance is way better then thier studio stuff.

[@dwoodard5717]

I would say they're better live than everything they've put out since Under the Table and Dreaming, but those first few albums are some of the best albums I've ever heard. Just perfection and amazing production on every song. When they came out with the album with Grey Street and Everyday on it (the name of the album is eluding me) they had lost that spark. Still love em but the cds arent as good anymore. The music itself is still amazing live though

[@dwoodard5717]

Of course thats just my opinion, to each his own

[@Tyromecatron]

D Woodard not the same album. Busted stuff and everyday. Both great albums tho!!

[@propulsious7495]

I love how there's only Carter, Dave, and Stefan.

[@tassekuchen]

Love is hell... Dave proposed x3 and she said no! Surprised he could talk after this performance. PASSION!

[@ryang2620]

I was there for this show. All three nights. Best song of a perfect weekend.

[@chrissobkowiak7493]

i was THERE for this, it was the comeback of Halloween, hasnt been played in forever... the energy was EPIC, freakin loved it!!!

[@DoctorGonzo41]

I was at the show, and being the greedy little pig I was I was a little disappointed in the set list so far. It's fucking Sunday at the Gorge, it's dmb, on Sunday, they go out with a bang goddammit. After they finish with The Space Between (My least favorite song), I was perturbed, fuck these guys they're mailing it in.. Then... They play Seek Up (My favorite song) and the rest of the set is the best ever. Best encore. Sweetest Long Black Veil with just Dave n Roi. Fucking Halloween after a 3 year absence. Everyone shit themselves after they realized it was Halloween. Damn that was a long time ago, what a fucking memory.

[@sharonremmers4131]

Chris Sobkowiak I would kill to have been there!! This is hands down the best version of Halloween!!

[@marycrain3445]

I wanted to like that comment but I would’ve changed it from 41 to 42 and that’s sacrilegious

[@MissMaddieWren]

@@DoctorGonzo41 why did they stop playing it to begin with ?

[@DoctorGonzo41]

@@MissMaddieWren Because it was too emotional of a song for Dave to play apparently. Its about him and his ex girlfriend.

[@JustinJones2455]

This gets my blood flowing!!!

[@DMBever]

Haha, I didn't realize mine was going a bit quicker until I read your comment.

[@alterecho8261]

idc this is 1 of the best Halloween performances

[@tsopuaifa]

I prefer the one from Recently but this song is the one and only Halloween song that is for sure.

[@terroz7805]

Agreed

[@Yevi_Games]

Dude, they played this song in their last concert of 2010 in Charlottesville..... my ears are still ringing it was so LOUD.

[@fedoff2190]

The tone on the base is so badass.

[@fedoff2190]

I feel like the bassist is underrated. He is an absolute beast.

[@zRelentless]

You really don’t grow to appreciate songs like this as much until you’re able to relate

[@dillonohlemiller9027]

Relentless did somebody take your soul???😳

[@veronicag3135]

Very true.

[@brettdavey4522]

One of his greatest songs. The emotion is riveting

[@SarahBerns]

when i watch this...i just smile.

[@e_shoemaker]

There's something about this version that others (2021) just don't have. Dave's raw emotion is captured perfectly here.

[@SammyMakepeace]

Yeah but this is why he doesn't sound as decent as he could these days unfortunately. If he had learned some proper vocal techniques for this song, his vocal stamina would be so much better today. What a banger though

[@automachinehead]

@@SammyMakepeace He's getting old, without any vocal assistance program behind the scene, there is no way a man on his 50's could sing the way he did at his prime.

[@douganderson3280]

2021 I'm still listening to this!

[@sharonremmers4131]

My absolute favorite version of the song! I love when Dave goes into his “spaz” mode! “Why then, why then, ‘cuz you’re a little FUCK!” . . .

[@outofthebox7122]

That line kills me every damn time 💀

[@JohnMack-sr5iu]

What a find and precious memory! I had a drum solo sign all weekend and finally night 3 Carter points at me and shakes his head, then goes into an amazing drum solo > Halloween, then stands up and tosses me the stick he used!!!! I can also see myself with the bright orange glowstick 😀

[@stronghandhanson]

so I am a drummer and my friends sister got carters damn glove one night at a DMB concert I was furious lmao

[@rickwhite3072]

Carter's drum skills are so underrated

[@augustwest7292]

One of the absolute best out touring.. they all are so skilled at their respected instrument. Boyd on the electric violin.. such a professional group. Not enough appreciation for the level of excellence they uphold.

[@rewing041]

Ezra Berry As I’m sure you know, Boyd is no longer with the band. In my opinion his absence is definitely felt in their sound live. He brought even more energy to crowd with his solos. He needs to be replaced in my opinion.

[@johnfedor69]

In fact, Im a drummer myself. Wish I could do that

[@chrishasic]

I love how carter stops his solo then goes into the song. Very bone chilling. XD!

[@headshottheatredev1964]

i always thought that this is the most Primus D.M.B could get in a song. F*n love it!

[@christopherstewart4413]

One of the best drummers ever Danny Carrey tim Alexander Neil Peart and this guy he's sick

[@logandogan272]

@Patrick Brewer well, up there for me sure

[@thatdonkey7215]

Respect TOOL and Rush!!!!

[@CMustaine-ky5hv]

Great song!!By top notch musicians and top notch equipment.These guys are one of the greatest bands ever

[@tmoore4075]

My favorite Carter solo intro to Halloween.

[@fedoff2190]

Damn that had to be one of the most intense performances I've seen.

[@DmB4LiFe420eL]

carter is fucking sickkkkkk..... this guy deserves SO MUCH more recognition than he normally gets

[@ZeCockOfTheWalk]

among drummers, Beauford is very highly regarded as one of the smoothest and most natural players ever. personally, he is one of my favorites not only because he's an incredible drummer, but also that he looks like hes having the the most fun he's ever had, every time.

[@snowboarder952]

@grgemclr1992 I have to agree. Its a dark song admittedly, but the energy that courses through the place when this song goes off is godly. They played it for the encore on the third night at the gorge recently. I had the pleasure of letting DMB pound my soul into nothing with the pure energy they summoned with this song. Fucking unbelievable

[@nicholascox6411]

This songs amazing , love this band since I was born in 1992

[@slowhand496]

I am convinced that Carter has a third arm somewhere.

[@reversel3lumpkin646]

That is the best comment I’ve Hurd yet lmao

[@thebigbroeyjoey]

He’s been drumming since he was 3 what do you expect 😂

[@thatdonkey7215]

Just like Danny Carey

[@41allicat]

Carter is king.

sounds like adam sandler singing a primus song

Stefan looks like he's possessed by the devil in this song. Which would explain how he got so good at the bass.

[@C-CLAMP1982]

Man this is what's goin on in my head more often than not so when I heard it I was like woooooooooooooow ! Make music that feels like rreal life bro!

shit my pants at 3:10 every time

dave matthews band is so sick, carter you gotta teach me the drums

[@fubuki2843]

Everyone talks about athletes being "in their element"... This performance is musicians "in their element"

[@sportsfan924]

You've got to love Carter on those drums!!!!

[@kellydorazio]

Carter!!!!

[@grgemclr1992]

@IWantDaveKast For me it's because Halloween is a song with such strong, raw, pure emotion. I know people who have gone to around 15 shows and have still never seen Halloween. I was lucky enough to see it the first time I saw dave, even though I had been a fan for a long time, and I knew all of his music, live and studio, so I didn't lose my appreciation for it's rarity and emotion. It was at Bader Field this summer, the whole place went crazy after the Ants fake

[@chrishasic]

I think hes talking about their newest live CD "Live in Atlantic City 2011" when they did Halloween with an Ants Marching teese at the beginning.

[@CrashN2Me1000]

@ Preston Smith - WTF are you talking about? lt's only the lighting and the angle of that particular shot @ 2:14 that are different, but that's *definitely* Carter playing 100% and no one else.

[@marcusmancini_97]

If I saw this live I would shit

[@noaholson7743]

Ironically this was posted on Halloween

[@ILikeWafflz]

@valsoldier03 The look he has reminds me more of the look of having loads of fun.

[@BBoyFury]

The song is good, but I've been trying to find this drum solo in high quality for a while. Thanks for the upload!

i love that he's doing john bonham's moby dick solo....beautiful

[@BrittaniRun-D-L-E]

i love how he's semi-recreating john bonham's drum solo from zeppelin's song moby dick best drum solo of all time (the original at least)

[@MoodyJ66]

@RhodeBlok It was awesome :)

[@41dmbiu]

this is during the encore..so sometimes not the whole band will play songs..most the time dave will just do a solo then the rest of the band will come out to finish the show...you can see the rest of the band join the 3 after the song

[@ghostbrosyo]

@oneswtwld they played it at Randalls Island and in Atlantic city
