Damn those spamming bastards! Thank you for the heads up!

[@rustbeltwriter]

The band is amazingly talented and has been written off as being a niche band for frat bros and I have never understood it. They are a fantastic band that makes fantastic music.

[@nicholashewett979]

It's because of the hits. The dmb hits are okay and kept the band relevant regarding the general public. But dmb has a deep following of people that really appreciate what music is.

[@Eric-ff4bf]

I think that link with fraternities may stem from the fact that they got their start playing, among other venues, Frat parties at the University of Virginia and other universities. But, obviously, they grew far beyond that

[@williammooney8832]

I loved when you said tribal. Dave is from South Africa and his music has many influences from African tribal music. Spot on my friend. 😃👍🏻

[@melissadianep1981]

[@chrisjenkins6120]

Hallelujah!!!! Dave Mathews and Tim Reynolds! The beginning of DMB.

[@erinhansen2110]

LOVE that you're doing Dave! Here's the thing... you could listen to that same song on the studio album and it would be different yet still great. You could listen to it in concert with the full band and it would be different than the other two, yet still great. This particular song is nice for you to hear, because regardless if you like the song, you can see the immense talent. So Dave does the following: -- Solo Dave: Things like the Tiny Desk Concert has just him and his guitar. -- Dave & Tim: Dueling guitars -- Dave & Carter: The Warehouse Sessions are great! Guitar + Drums only or Piano + Drums only. -- Dave Matthews Band Studio: Clean cut studio versions of their songs. -- Dave Matthews Band Live: All the musicians are extremely talented. And on any given night, it might be your favorite version of the song as they "feel" the music and go with the flow. A 5 minute song might turn into a 17 minute song. And this is the crazy thing... I'd pick the studio version for 99% of bands, but with Dave, the live might be better. It's all amazing! Keep going down this rabbit hole... you won't regret it. And get yourself to a concert. If they're in your city for multiple days, each concert set will be different. Go Day 1... you'll probably want to go back Day 2. Cheers! :)

[@erinhansen2110]

There are so many great songs to choose from. A few of my favs: The Last Stop - If you like Led Zep's Kashmir, you might like this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4DKeXWDqs-Hedk Long Black Veil - Johnny Cash Cover: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJvKonism9Nqe6c Ants Marching - Boyd's violin solos are awesome: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKDIq6WQYql2gNk

[@cassianfalkener3706]

Disclaimer: I like DMB, as well as his solo album and his work with Tim Reynolds. I enjoyed the concert I went to, and I often enjoy the extended live versions. Listener Supported is possibly my favorite album of theirs, and I've watched the DVD multiple times. But this one just didn't do it for me. It felt way too stretched out, and in parts of the song it felt like it was meant to be a transition into something else, but it just stayed put and avoided moving into the next portion of the song. In doing so, instead of the song making those transitions into something more through those extensions, it felt like it made the entire song less overall. Again, I'm a fan, and I really enjoy long songs, but this one was losing my interest when it hadn't even started and was already several minutes in. I found myself wanting to move the mouse to see how close we were to the end. In this case, for me, the studio version is easier to listen to, and enjoy.

[@Green-eyedGirl19]

I saw them in 2018......got the tour bracelet!

[@jerichozeplin]

I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned this but Dave is originally from South Africa and that largely influences his musical and lyrical style. Hence the “tribalism” found in his works. Going into a listening session with that in mind it’s easier to see the visual painting he is trying to represent. True love for his country’s traditions and mankind as a whole.

[@melissadianep1981]

I was just about to say this. His mother always told him to keep the heart of South Africa in his music and it shows.

[@starcharlie1880]

Wow. I have been born again. I’ve never heard DMB until tonight, but I’ve heard of them many, many times. Something told me to press play, but I never listened. This is beautiful, magnificent, lively and necessary. I want to live, eat and breathe this song.

[@johnohrstrom5112]

This is from Live at Radio City. Epic album.

[@davidaldridge5716]

The live at Red Rocks album is superb as well

[@ryanthiessen9040]

come to the Gorge with us on Labor Day weekend. Seeing them live, especially at that venue, WILL change your life.

[@starcharlie1880]

@@ryanthiessen9040 😍😍I’ll make plans

[@Mhantrax]

Once I heard this album I never listened to regular DMB again. It wasn't that DMB was bad, in fact, I loved them. But these two men elevated the DMB music to its peak evolution. And that is where I stayed.

[@timothygiles9982]

Btw: The entire Dave & Tim at Radio City Music Hall concert is amazing. I would urge anyone to find, and watch the concert in its entirety. Even if you have to pay to watch it if it’s not on KZbin or someplace else for free, it’s totally worth it. Unbelievably incredible show. 🤯

[@classicmetaldude]

NOW WE'RE TALKING 🔥🔥🔥

[@johnohrstrom5112]

Yeah, his stuff w Tim is what got me into DMB.

[@darlenebrady9520]

Paul Revere and the raiders Indian reservation, can you review this?

[@katherinebosse5706]

Genius? Original? Necessary? A big, hearty YES to all three, probably a few more superlatives as well. There is a particular mood I’m in to listen to Dave..always come away refreshed. Hey Polo…well done once again ❤

[@jefflambeth1054]

Two Step , live in Central Park!! One of the all time great recordings, ever!! Thank you for more Dave…love the channel❤

[@RoBear2O]

Was there at CP...just mind-blowing.

[@crystal6708]

Considering the Summer Tour dates were dropped today, this is incredibly fitting! You should come out to the EPIC venue "the Gorge" in Washington on the Columbia river. It rivals Red Rocks amphitheater. The band plays 3 nights over Labor Day weekend & there is camping on-site. There's nothing like it man. Bucket List stuff! If you'd like a glance at it & it's history check out the trailer for the documentary about the Gorge called "Enormous".

[@matthew6427]

Def on my bucket list. I've been to Red Rocks & absolutely loved it but I need to get to the gorge.

[@liannehoward4602]

Amen!! Seen DMB 16 Times at the Gorge. Dave calls it "Heaven's Amphitheater" and he's not wrong. Magic happens for 3 nights every year❤

[@rossgreenstein5116]

Seeing Dave in June in Dallas!! I've seen 7 shows, never disappoints

[@jillplatte6370]

Amazing live performance. Goosebumps, as always with Dave. :)

[@SnailMailShell]

Those guttural cries from the heart are such a fitting intro and outro to this plea-for-redemption song.

[@MrThobias711]

DMB is one of the most underrated greatest bands of all time and in extremely snobby with my music. Listen to their live. Particularly live at Red rocks "lie in our graves" "proudest monkey"

[@doughaviland1729]

Tim Reynolds is a VIRTUOSO! ❤😊 He does an AMAZING IN YOUR Eyes!

[@Vault4ce4680]

I appreciate you looking past the closed minded comments. No matter how you feel about them they are SEVERELY important to the history and future of music. Not to mention how ridiculously talented everyone involved has proven to be. I'm a massive fan!

Sure...

"I think this guy smokes weed" If you'd ever been to his concerts, you'd know he doesn't have a choice! 🤣

[@joeraboine5154]

Dave and Tim tapped into a some Divine frequencies on this incredible song…right into our souls ❤️

i've been a fan since i was a little kid. going to concerts and being able to feel safe around literally everyone. we all are there for the music and good vibes. so glad you are enjoying their music

[@clos49er05]

You should go to a concert! Its so much feel good!!! Hard to put it any other way

[@jessicaadams1479]

Totally agree and there’s nothing like DMB live!

[@Strobobel]

It’s a legit spiritual experience

[@governmentdivides7063]

Bro, I’m so glad you have given DMB a chance. You should know LeRoy Moore (sax and woodwinds) passed away from injuries sustained from an ATV accident and Boyd Tinsley was let go due to moral issues (both broke my heart). Carter Beauford (drums) and Stefan Lessard (bass) are still original members. This band is amazing is so many ways. Please continue down this path and see why,

[@ryanspeicher733]

As a 90’s kid I feel like Dave has been my generations Grateful Dead. Experiencing Dave live with an open mind fueled with some great weed is like taking serotonin bath. It will touch your soul in a spiritual or ethereal way. Don’t consider myself a hippie but after reading what I wrote I get the comparison. He’s talented on a level that I consider genius. Hope you keep digging deeper.

[@DMTsmoke]

Dave Matthews is way more of their Jimmy Buffett than Grateful Dead. We can appreciate Dave Matthews' and Jimmy Buffett's everyman personas, work ethics, and their grassroots efforts, but the music is pretty lightweight, friendly, easy to digest, one size fits all, go with the flow, pedestrian type material. Grateful Dead, however, is real spiritual hippie genius along the likes of Jefferson Airplane, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Santana, Lovin' Spoonful, Big Brother & The Holding Company, The Mamas & The Papas, Moby Grape, The Incredible String Band, It's A Beautiful Day, 13th Floor Elevators, Amon Düül II, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Gong, Hot Tuna, Blue Cheer, Iron Butterfly, Spirit, Hawkwind, Flying Burrito Brothers, The United States Of America, Aphrodite's Child, Love, Seatrain, and Country Joe & The Fish.

[@SnailMailShell]

Good recommendation.

[@alexanderkeber4257]

I read John Mayer say he could always anticipate the next chord in any song he heard except for a Dave Mathew’s song.

[@Roush149]

I'm gonna subscribe. Love that you are finding DMB (and tedeschi trucks band) highly suggest digging into more DMB like I have in the last couple years they are simply the best live band there is. Recommend that you check out DMB live if you haven't, nothing like it. Seeing that you are in Perrysburg, I'd suggest either Noblesville, IN on 6/28 & 6/29 this summer or Cuyahoga Falls on 6/25! I'm from Ohio myself and was just in Perrysburg last weekend. Keep up the good work!

[@melissadianep1981]

He is from South Africa - his mother told him to always keep the south african spirit in his music,

[@shannonbrigante5764]

I was at this show.. Mind blowing to say the least.. I, again, encourage you to check out All Along The Watchtower from Central Park.. being there was soul altering.. middle of Manhattan, 125k people, no seats, $15 tickets.. it is a bit long but I PROMISE it is beyond worth it.. you might need some water before it’s done.. it’s a doozy.. Imma recommend it every time lol

[@babylonsister118]

Dave was born in South Africa and moved between there and NY as a kid. I think some of his music reflects this. I have seen the band a dozen times and never disappointed! Thanks for doing this!

[@christiangonzalez640]

What makes this more powerful is when you understand the biblical aspect of the song. Once you make that connection and understanding it will exponentially touch your heart.

THANK YOU!!!! I love this. Thank you for taking the time to react to this. It made my year already man. If you wanna do another - warehouse - Piedmont park or two step - Piedmont park

Definitely a trip into another dimension...And, loved every note. Really liked it and didn't know I liked it before. Amazing, actually. Going to check-out more of his music.

This performance is truly amazing. Not much more I can say. Been a fan since the early 90s, I think Dave Matthews is musically brilliant. My favorite drummer is in that band as well. Carter Beauford. That dude is awesome. They’re one of my top 5 favorite bands of all time. Their live performances are insane.

[@tamaramckelvey6804]

Dave and Tim are like soul brothers!! They play off each other like match made in heaven.. enjoy

I heard/saw this version of Bartender for the first time this year - and I was blown away. This is a next-level performance - powerful, moving, haunting. I like it better than the full band version. I am so glad that you did a reaction video to this.

This entire album on bluray with top audio quality is like a religious experience.

Been a fan of DMB for nearly 3 decades. For a guy to get up there with just one other dude and command a room that huge is a magic trick in and of itself. Don't overlook that part of this version of the song.

A duo made in heaven… great choice!💜😂👏👏

[@Squatcho]

Matthews was born and spent much of his formative years in South Africa. I imagine that his unique musical style/sound can be attributed to that influence.

Lie in our graves FEAT Derek Trucks. 2nd best DMB performance for me, because of the restraint and how together they were.

Tim played a bar stool venue and is responsible for Dave playing guitar and was a driving force of the band. I believe he explains that on this dvd.

[@GWHinCA]

I highly reccomend you check out more from this specific performance. I have this on Blu Ray DVD & it is widely considered to be one of the top audio recordings available. I actually prefer listening to these two together without the rest of the band. As I'm sure you can hear for yourself, there is plenty to soak up & enjoy from just the two of them. There are at least a half dozen great tunes from this concert to check out including So Damn Lucky, Some Devil & Cornbread to name a few. I hope you'll do more from this concert. Thanks for the review.

Best band of the last 30 years.

[@Levi-ou2zm]

Glad you got to review this one. As one gets older, this song tends to hit home more and more. Having kids you want to be here with them as long as you can and this song is just him begging for more time and he used to never think about that, but now he does and wants to run and hide.

[@CorbinDoughty94]

This is the song every reaction channel chooses. I've been a devoted Dave fan for half my life. It's just the correct choice to get hooked. The emotion he pours into this opener is astounding. It's spiritual. I don't even know how many react videos I've watched with this version of Bartender and I love every one of them. The more the merrier at every show. Hopefully, we get to see you this summer. If you somehow end up in Indy for his 2 shows, hit me up. We'll buy you a beer. Cheers

For a tribal vibe check out “Don’t Drink the Water”. Powerful message and powerful song, in my top 10. I’d recommend reading the lyrics in advance. And though I’m sure others have recommended this, “Ants Marching” live Piedmont Park will make you a DMB fan for life.

I very much appreciated your open mindedness. When you said in the opening it sounded tribal. A lot of David’s music has that type of sound to it. He grew up in South Africa and it really shaped him as a musician. If you listen to Eh Hee you can really hear it.He also played it during this Radio City show. He actually describes how he came about writing it based on a trip him and his family took to South Africa. You should definitely check it out! Welcome to the Firedancer Fam ❤❤

Try any of their full band stuff, particularly the early stuff. On #41 you seemed to really appreciate the musicianship.
