Dave Matthews Band - Watchtower Live ft. Carlos Santana

[@Codiefan]

Master Hendrix would most definately approve...Santana keeps the dream alive! The finest Guitarist alive today...gonna see him in 3 days!

[@coho83jt]

Daniel, Thank you so much for this post and sharing. My all time favorite version. Watching Carlos play is like going to church for me. Went to see Dave and the Gang at the Gorge the other weekend. AMAZING!! I truely envy anyone who was at Golden Gate! @4:48 when Carlos comes on you can FEEL the energy from the crowd! My heros...

[@marluna821]

95 shows and counting. One of the best versions I have ever witnessed . Pure energy.

[@BigKidCertified]

WOW! I was there on this day in September 04. We bought tickets late (it was a "FREE" concert) but we couldnt get any tickets except for Budweiser True Music passes. Me and my best friend pulled the trigger not knowing what to expect. What we got was a reserved sliver right in front of the stage on the left. so to my amazement I was directly at Santanas feet and Boyds as they jammed. BLEW MY MIND! I caught Fenton as he was goin back and forth and I know he said they filmed in HD......so one day?

[@1018ckitt]

the way they arrange this song and really make it their own is incredible. they're unreal

[@jhpowlton]

Thank fuck for music! Even when life sucks music always remains true to the core!

[@TheEdie1958]

Riveting. vocals and dynamic guitar playing bluegrass jazz fusion with country flavor. Cheers.

[@DF-lg1tm]

Best of the best bands playing live!!!!

[@DaveIsGod41]

It is from the live trax in San Francisco, Golden Gate Park, and thank you again Daniel for posting this now almost three years ago, now it is on you on personal best of whats around!!

[@Detroit_Vs._Everybody]

you're welcome my friend

[@DaveIsGod41]

I will definately go down as the first duse to say thank you for this post... this is by far the best version of this song ever, that includes any Dylan, Hendrix, Peral Jam and any other version including all of Dave's.I actually requested this one so thanks. Dave Is God!

[@DaveIsGod41]

I feel exactly the same as you do man! I take responsibility for this one, i asked him to put it on here after seeing he had sugar will w carlos at Golden Gate. Much to my suprise he responded! I have heard dave play this live at least 6 times, and I KNOW this is the best version on the Internet! Thank You Daniel!

[@Forgedemontolieu]

I worked for the band, they were def. cool. Look for tracks that come from Trax in Charlottesville - that was our homebase. Anyway, afterwards any big band eventually fades but in the beginning the ride was great. Thanks Carter!

[@davidanglin7177]

It's the blues, people. Go inside of yourself to see... your self.

[@djguy100]

Dave matthews is amazing, one of the best live artists ever

[@SovereignSoul182]

Good blues rendition intro of a jam by Jimi Hendrixs made famous in the 60. Carlos puts his signature on the song played in the original Woodstock concert. Wow!!!

[@noahhamilton6880]

SovereignSoul182 actually made by Bob Dylan. made famous by Jimi, and in my mind, perfected by Dave

[@SovereignSoul182]

Perfected by Dave with the addition of Carlos Santana's guitar riffs.

[@DaveIsGod41]

@DaveIsGod41 Yes of course...

[@DaveIsGod41]

@ad0205920 i know right i almost died when Daniel put this on here... i requested this a week before i spent that week in jail...and came out to it on the internet... the only other way to have it is to GET LIVE TRAX... you wont regret

[@Detroit_Vs._Everybody]

Cheers my friend!

@DaveIsGod41 Dave is my savior

[@delepiane]

[@lzrbck]

Dear internet, What CD is this from? I would like to buy it. Sincerely, SHUTUPANDTAKEMYMONEY

[@Detroit_Vs._Everybody]

this is live at the golden gate bridge

[@DaveIsGod41]

i have an Dave-Altar. lol.

[@DaveIsGod41]

@Codiefan You mean, Master Bob Dylan would Approve...

[@jhpowlton]

Santana makes another very ordinary band sound brilliant.

[@Drmstrack]

Im sorry but have you only ever heard DMB's radio material? Because by simply looking at Carter Beaufords(in the top 20 of rolling stones top 100 drummers list) drum kit set up, you can tell they are no ordinary band. First off, they are one of few interracial rock bands. Besides this, if you ever watch Dave play guitar, he has a method far different from other guitar players. This is because he was born in South Africa and inspired by their keyboardist. Electric guitarist Tim Reynolds (was around the 50 mark in rolling stones top 100 guitarists article) is an amazingly melodic and gifted guitar player. I encourage you to check out some live shows here on youtube. Or watch a song like Rapunzel(a song in various time signatures). I assure you, that you'll no longer consider DMB an "ordinary band".

[@jhpowlton]

John Scott I did as you asked and I am afraid my opinion is the same as it was if not lower. I don't find anything that entraps me or to drag me into the vibe. There is no rhythm or structure just a mix of ever changing beats combined with discords (lack of harmony between notes sounding together). Nothing connects and as a musician I just cannot get into, sorry. To me it is a bit like and imitation of Frank Zappa and the mothers of creation that are off their on steroids and acid trips.

[@Detroit_Vs._Everybody]

your ears are blind...

[@9thchild358]

LOL dude he's on stage with one of the best drummers to EVER walk the planet. Think about what you're saying.

[@Yureeee]

it reminded me the final part of "stairway to heaven", from led zeppelin.

[@volpinibreno]

[@DaveIsGod41]

@Codiefan I love the way you said that and am jealous of you getting to see him... CHECK THIS ONE OUT>> (i like the parte deux the Best... and you'll see why)

[@kaine969]

@ramses1401 lmbo

[@Badgerracer]

.....this might be better than sex.....

[@Reezer83]

well you seee Dave as god so we can erase your comment about it being the best version including the the original in that opinion, maybe time for another bump in the head to correct some damage ??? i love Dave but to say he's better than Dylan Hendrix Clapton and many others is just simple fan talk...

[@Detroit_Vs._Everybody]

this is better than dylan and hendrix

[@sharonashcraft6358]

Not fond of this Love Dave Matthews band but not this one

[@noodledwarf]

dave has nothing to do with it its all santana

[@jreegdss6878]

Santana really ruins this, what a boring guy

[@DaveIsGod41]

@Codiefan I love the way you said that and am jealous of you getting to see him... CHECK THIS ONE OUT>> (i like the parte deux the Best... and you'll see why)
