Dave Matthews Band, The Stone- A Classical Musician’s First Listen and Reaction

[@KyleS.1987]

I'm still blown away that Dave sings and plays that guitar riff at the same time. That's some next-level coordination.

[@danelmore6553]

Check out Ani Diffranco. There is pretty consistently a shocking syncopation between her complex licks, and her vocals.

[@BMichel347]

Reminds me a bit of Adrian Belew with King Crimson.

[@apinkfloydsound]

I used to play a ton of Dave stuff 20+ years ago. I had to practice so much to play these songs and sing them. You have to at least know one part so well that you don’t have to think about it. With this song, you need to know both parts that well.

Check out Warren Haynes, he was an original guitarist for the Almond Brothers, who have their mention in the Rock and Roll hall of fame, he now play on his own…

Imagine being 14, 15, 16 years old and seeing DMB live. What a wonderful world to be part of. If you’re looking for an album, “Before these Crowded Streets” is such an ethereal, melancholic, and honest album… it might be worth checking out. ❤

The main reason I think DMB is underrated is that an absurd amount of people think they're overrated.

[@brettgordon4105]

Yup

[@rideswaves]

You nailed it. Substantiative is a perfect word to describe DMB. Their catalog has no dearth of wonderful, complex pieces. I was on the DMB journey right from the beginning and recognized them as a cut above other bands of their time. To this day, I find myself "discovering" songs of theirs that I heard on the album when it was released (usually the day it dropped) but for one reason or another just passed off as an album filler. Then I see a comment online or hear from a friend how much the song resonates with someone, so I go back and give it another listen, and realize just how profound and beautiful it is. Warehouse was one of those that comes to mind right now, although this same situation has happened numerous times. The half dozen or so times I've seen them live, are amongst the best concert experiences of my lifetime that has in large part been in pursuit of great music and musical performances.

[@wpcouch]

Minarets, The Dreaming Tree, Two Step, Crush, Bartender and Warehouse are all really worth checking out

I'm so glad! DMB is my favourite band. Thank you, Amy & Vlad. You have to check out the studio cut of this song if you want to listen to the Kronos Quartet. They did an awesome job! Thank you and greetings from Madrid.

[@stuarthein3444]

You have reviewed Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer" previously. This song is probably the most covered song in concert by acolytes of Neil Young. Dave Matthew and Warren Haynes (Allman Brothers) have a really nice concert version of this song and worthy of a listen.

[@riversj88]

Down By The River is another Neil sound covered a lot by Dave.

[@thomassharmer7127]

This is much more jazz inspired than I thought when it began. Each instrument is doing its own thing, including the drums, but weaving in and out of step and counterpoint with each other. Very clever. I agree with your point about Eastern European folk. There is a Russian jazz guitarist called Enver Izmailov who plays that style of music in time signatures like11/8 and using a two handed tapping technique on the guitar! This does have echoes of that sort of thing.

[@chriseckert613]

This is another milestone reaction for the channel in many respects. I love that you took in a live performance to react to. Dave Matthews has such a blend of musical influences, and they can all play. I wonder if you would have found their music too "busy" early in your journey. Anyway, thanks for delving into the live performance. As a side note, Dave Matthews does a great job as a patient in an episode of the TV series House. That is worth checking out when the two of you have spare time. (As if that exists when you have careers, a KZbin channel and a small child to raise) :)

[@MaikKellerhals]

They know how to create an atmosphere ... and then break it apart.

[@mypie3301]

"Bartender" live at Radio city music is one of the best live performances i have ever seen. Dave is a master of the vibe

[@mattymcmatterson3007]

I never considered DMB grunge but can definitely see what you’re talking about. Dave has that nasally tone that is often associated with the grunge genre. I have always thought of his music as rock and jazz fused into a jam band. Regardless, I’ve enjoyed it for 30 years and I hope I can enjoy it for at least 30 more.

[@mistytownley3845]

The Stone and Seek Up are my 2 favorites! The energy at a DMB concert is like nothing else.

[@car_tag]

My personal favorites from Dave are #41 (Europe 2009 version), Grey Street, Crush, and their version of All Along the Watchtower (Central Park concert was great)

[@wpcouch]

I played bass in a touring DMB Tribute band for several years.. All of their music is amazing to play, but The Stone was always one of my favorites. You nailed the layering of moods, styles and and genres within their music, it's what really drew me to their music from the start

[@andrewparker4965]

Wonderful breakdown of my favorite song by my favorite band. Thank you, and glad you appreciated it. FYI the trumpeter in this live performance is Rashawn Ross, not John D’earth.

[@theresab72]

And a lot of that solo work at the end was on a sax played by Jeff Coffin.

[@LeeKennison]

I'm really glad you enjoyed this so much and found it so appealing. I like the Dave Mathews Band but I really only know a handful of their songs, so I think this is the first time I have heard this one. It's good that you now have Elvis' "Can't Help Falling in Love" as a cultural reference, since as you can hear the crowd knows it well even though this was from an earlier generation of music. In addition to some of their better known pieces, hopefully their cover of Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer" shows up in your Great Covers series. It has Warren Haynes from the Allman Brothers playing guitar. Great reaction!

[@GracieJanes-hv7kt]

Dave is from South Africa so there’s a lot of influence in his music there

[@mrpitiful98]

I love the way she described this. I do, however, wish this was a better version of my favorite DMB song. Maybe something with Leroi or the studio version with Kronos

​@@madison6757kind of an old DMB tradition, honestly, I remember "bootleg" cassette tapes that sounded way worse 😂😂😂😂 so she got an authentic representation in a way

[@kevinsickmeier9229]

Listener Supported is the way

[@marioj00001]

I love that you nailed both what I enjoy about this band and what my significant other dislikes (despite you liking it). She tends to love their music and disengage as soon as she hears Dave’s voice. I love how they build on top of each other, sometimes in contrast, sometimes in addition, always interesting. The most interesting things about them are how they weave crowd engagement into their pieces and concerts. Each member is exceptionally talented at improvisation. In that way, despite sounding nothing alike, they are like the Grateful Dead & company. They also tend to play tribute to the venues they fill, like always playing Sweet Caroline at Fenway park. A few tracks to contrast how they play with the fidelity that comes through in a studio vs a crowd’s energy might be Too Much, Crash Into Me, or literally almost anything else. In some cases, without being as obvious as “we will rock you” from Queen, the crowd is almost an instrument in some of their live performances, because of how they play to engage them and riff on the reactions. Finally, a thing I find interesting is how they have made songs about things that I think may have started as warmup exercises for guitar. Two examples would be #34 and Satellite. Both will stretch your left hand differently and are built into enjoyable music.

[@ryanhearty1143]

Seen him a dozen times, my favorite live show!

[@andrealarocco4941]

Welcome to the wonderful world of Dave Matthews Band!! Their first 4 albums are all amazing and they’re still going strong all these years later. Buy a ticket and go see them live you won’t regret it. 😊

[@jasonpsteele1977]

I always know it's going to be a good show when they pull out the barge horn.

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

Amy I knew you would really like this band. They came out of the broader Jamband /Grateful Dead style of live performance, that Going on a Feeling spontaneity with great dynamics and flow, extended improvised jams that reach for stars with heart and soul while still being danceable. Some of the best music points to the ineffable. Thanks Virgin Rock! Excellent choice to go with a live recording.

[@jamesparkinmusic]

As a long time DMB fan, I credit 'The Stone' as the song that got me into them. It's no surprise I initially disagreed with the choice of version here. I mean, it makes sense to go live instead of studio, but a recent version?! Rarely are songs performed better 25 years after they were first performed. This is an exception though - musically beautiful and engaging despite the slooooow feel. An absolutely treat, thankyou!

[@DylanMadd]

It’s curious. Obviously DMB famously plays live. I’m super familiar with the studio album so I hear flourish after flourish where they surprise the live audience with something different. Generally the song is the same. But I wonder hearing it for the 1st time live, does the song make as much sense or is she enjoying the jam-out identity of the live playing more?

[@mitcht2717]

Here's one you could check out: "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" by Crosby, Stills, & Nash written by Stephen Stills, about his relationship with Judy Collins coming to an end. First released in 1969 but this rendition in 2011 (April 25) is incredible - channel: Andrew P. Alderete "Crosby, Stills, & Nash - Suite: Judy Blue Eyes - a 4 piece SUITE lasting 9:04 seconds with Stephen Stills mastery on guitar and ending in Spanish. I had never heard this rendition until this morning. And Graham Nash and David Crosby harmonizing - it's wonderful.

[@zackbamberg50]

@Dylan… I saw DMB perform for the first time in 98’, and have been to 31 shows since then. For me, I love the way they’re always evolving the songs, and how Dave is always changing the lyrics. Often times I hear a version and think to myself… “THAT is how they should have been recorded it for the album”. I’m a huge fan of live music in general, IMO there is no better live act than Dave Matthews Band

[@rog2224]

The Space Between is my favourite DMB song. For a band who leaned hard into European folk, try Devotchka. We Already Know (How This Will End) is great.

[@cliveklg7739]

The studio music is fantastic, but where they shine even more is their live performances. Both the full band live performances, and Dave and Tim Reynolds stripped down duo performances are just an amazing experience. DMB did a concert with the Flektones and with both bands on stage they did the song '41' which is normally about 6 and half minutes. It was extended out to 32+ minutes with just each band member of both bands getting a time to experiment and play around on the song.

[@ManuduBruxale]

Fantastic thanks 😊

[@elvisstilllives9990]

I have loved Dave Matthews Band for a long time now and I find it…well validating that you love them too. Rock as a genre is not free of its snobs and genre purists and they tend to frown on the DMB for reasons I don’t fully understand. So when I see someone with skill and talent for music love and enjoy something I love and enjoy, and then articulate why, I am glad. The whole band is a bit jazz like in a way where they can all just ruminate on a feeling. Anyway you should also listen to their songs “Bartender” “Ants Marching” and “don’t drink the water” (if you’re looking for a bit of variety I recommend finding the Live at Radio City versions of Bartender or Don’t Drink the Water which Dave plays with Guitarist Tim Reynolds)

Dave Matthews I'd a son of the African soul and you can hear those African jazz influences strongly in his music. What a joy! There is q vast soundwcape here to explore and I do hope you will delve deeper into their repertoire, but yew, some earlier recordings when LeRoi Moore was still alive. Those were the best! They're a band who love performing together and have been doing it for many decades. And all the band members are very skilled and accomplished musicians in their own right, each contributing their best in a way where that shared joy is palpable.

[@chetthebee1322]

Dave Matthews is from down the road from me. He still owns a farm and recording studio in the area. Occasionally he'll show up at the brewery to have a few beers with the locals. He was a bartender at one time in Charlottesville, VA too where he still pops in to visit and I guess even tend bar. He never let fame go to his head. I've never seen him but I would see his late saxophonist LeRoi Moore driving around town in his yellow Porsche.

Not a big fan of Dave Mathews however I would like to point out when people say music was better 20 years ago, this is what they mean. The entire concept of this channel wouldn’t even be possible with most of today’s music because it can’t really be broken down to the extent traditional instrumental music can. I greatly appreciate your insights and your ability to break down and describe the perceived intent of whatever piece you are analyzing. It is very refreshing!

[@Dannyboy.]

Not video related, I'm sure you must have plenty of requests, but I'm still surprised that to this day you never reacted to Muse ! When thinking of your classical background, I'm always thinking that you would certainly find them very interesting with songs like "Megalomania", "Space dementia", "Ruled by secrecy" or "Butterflies and hurricanes" to name a few, in which you definitely hear Matthew Bellamy's classical training when he was young. I hope you will dig into their songs one day !

[@subpotentmage8048]

For me, rock music is more than just music, it's a lifestyle!

[@GracieJanes-hv7kt]

The video adds another layer because you realize what Dave is doing with the guitar while he is singing, because he never stops playing it, he just sings over whatever he is doing with the guitar, always. Its so good, because his guitar is partly percussive, his voice is gutural, almost tribal, but the whole arrangement is so elevated, but it works out so well.

He was putting his band together and would play The Mineshaft every Tuesday night. There is nothing, nothing grunge about them. They have a unique sound I’d characterize as southern rock heavily influenced by jazz and bluegrass, if I had to. And there were a bunch of bluegrass bands playing around Charlottesville then.

In the Dave Matthews Band's presentation video piece at the Rock And Roll HOF induction, they were described as the band that was the alternative band of the 90's Grunge movement. Which described it perfectly for me, growing up in the 90's DMB was the music I listened to when I needed a break from the sound coming out of Seattle at that time. I hope you were able to listen to some of their other popular hits, "the classics" if you will!

[@NashwoodBand]

I dunno about the "grunge" call... Fusion Rock is what I refer to it as, with it's elements of blues, bluegrass, jazz, pop, and rock (with some Dave scats and jam band sessions if you go to a live show). Dave Matthews Band has an incredible catalogue, with everything from melancholic ballads to funky dance jams to intense rock-outs. Their musicianship is second to none to any band still touring. I cannot recommend this band enough LIVE. They'll give you a nearly 3 hour show, and if you see them back-to-back nights, you won't hear the same song twice. If you're unfamiliar with their music, "Under The Table and Dreaming" is a great place to start, but "Before The Crowded Streets" is their quintessential album.

[@johnaustin3187]

When i heard you say of Dave’s voice that it was sort of thin and reedy, i was a bit taken aback. I’d never thought of it that way, but i do see your point. Now I’d like to see your reaction to Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds at Radio City doing Bartender. To me its a perfect juxtaposition of that thin, reedy part and a raw, powerful and passionate part that really displays the range and abilities that Dave has brought to all his music.

something you may need to know about DMB, is this song was made in 1998, not only that, but their live performances very much change over time. To gain further insight on this, at least to how the song is performed, is to listen to the original in 98, and listen to their Listener Supported version in 99.
