SMOKIN' ! ! ! ! ! Who needs drugs? and forget the coffee if you ever need a pick me up... DEVOUR THIS JAM. A BIG THANKS TO THE BAND

[@josephvargas480]

One never "listens" to DMB and Warren play, you experience them with your soul. I'm glad I'm alive to experience them together.

[@Changelingheart]

Absolutely - they always play better live!! Always!! Maybe bc they just love to please their fans, or it may be bc it means so much more being together, and feeling all those speakers so so alive, bringing us alive... Knowing they can SHARE THEIR LIVES !!!! 😎💜 Their REAL LIFE!! 🔥🔥🔥

From 72 years old and I’ve never Heard a better version of this song. Mr. Warren Hayes and Dave Matthews Band

[@Changelingheart]

You said it right At my age too I have probably heard every single performance of Cortez by whomever. Only 4 stand out and 3 are with Haynes and DMB -

[@gordonclark2328]

Ok, I’ve been listening to the Central Park version of this for years and was just trying to find that online and found this instead. I honestly can’t think of a better use of 19 minutes than this version of this song. Music has magical powers and this version is suuuuuch a good example of that. Props to DMB and Warren and thanks for yet another drop in the cup.

[@elislostbook8406]

This one is DEFINITELY better than the Central Park video version. Both are good, but this one is out of this world!! 😎👍🏾🤔

Hard to say ..they are all so damn good, but look at Carter, his smile tells you.. i am partial to the MSG @ NYC one, but their guitar battle here, well omg.

19 minutes of making sweet love is the only comparable experience.

This is an amazing version!! This is a masterpiece. Now I have to go back and watch the 2018 MSG video again to compare.

[@CaryEspyALABAMA]

The two best guitar players playing off each other.This is the best live performances I have ever seen.. Don’t forget Buford laying down those drums. I was at Bonnaroo and Warren came on stage and I thought my dream came true. Watchtower instead.

Whenever Warren Haynes is a ‘guest’ at someone’s concert, you can be sure it’s going to be great 👍! This man can single-handedly turn an ‘average’ performance into an outstanding one❗️

Warren has this magical ability of making just about any cover surpass the original recording and making it his own. I love me some Government Mule.

[@elainemeyer5062]

@@rickmartucci5642 I agree with you to an extent! I personally feel that it’s Haynes and NOT Gov’t Mule that gives it (and everything else) so much more, and really shows his talent as a more ‘soloist’ musician!

[@bobgoranson2206]

Stupendous rendition of one of the best songs ever written for rock 'n roll.

[@toddbutler8102]

My favorite version of this, I’m jealous of those in the comments that were there. I’ve been to 15+ shows and have yet to see this in person. Warren and Tim’s duels are unbelievable. My favorite is Carter, his controlled drumming, keeping time with certain fills allows those to be the star, but when he lets go especially at about the 15 minute mark when the camera pulls out is sublime,

[@dmar9658]

How Grateful is this? South Carolina was here. This old world couldnt spin without our Neil Young!!!

[@patrickharrison5959]

Whole band was on fire that night. The guitars are obviously killing it, but Carter is also riding the wave and Stefan dropped in some amazing connective lines. A+.

When I lived in Lake Elsinore, Ca, I would often wait until the moon was fat and yellow, and she would beckon me down by the lake. I would put this song on and smoke ,slowly all the way through. As the music blared into my soul through my headphones, I would go inward and find the answers to so many problems in my life. This song is cleansing.

[@chrisweidner4768]

Indeed. The genius of Neil played by these acolytes. Masterpiece.

What a compliment to Neil Young, his song writing, music and guitar playing. Many think this is his best song. The incomparable Warren Haynes ranks with the all time great guitar players, and the Dave Matthews Band shows it can play with Warren. Tim Reynolds playing a dueling guitar takes this song into the stratosphere.
