Dave's rendition of Neil's song "Cortez the Killer" with Warren Haynes is absolutely sublime.

[@eazyridin7283]

For sure !!! 🤘🏼

[@TheDrummaboy78]

💯 agreed

[@_Butterscotch_]

His version preformed at Central Park is truly amazing. My parents were there at that concert in 2003 and they always tell me how truly magical that night was.

[@palm5reader276]

Honestly, his rendition is better than neils and i dont say that lightly

[@tylerarnold943]

Yes

[@BottleHalfMT]

Meeting Dave Matthews would do the same to me as meeting Cat Stevens did for him!!

[@Riomojo]

His genuine giggle face is contagious

[@dmbgator86]

Dave is one of the best. 1992-2004 DMB was on top of the world!

[@patricksomerville738]

why it end at 2004?

[@SkateOrDie666]

Their next albums were so-so compared to all of them up until then. They still rule though

[@ryanmaher6129]

Still are

[@Nicop2227]

DMB will always be on top of the world 🌎 peace

[@tylerarnold943]

2000 to 2010 I think they were some of the highest grossing tours.

[@ianf2985]

Seeing Howard and Dave just ‘chat’ is so awesome.

[@angelaharley2203]

I freaking love Dave… I absolutely love how he makes fun of himself explaining his experience of playing his favorite artists ❤

[@Thomasringpetersen]

Dave you’re songs are harder to sing and play than Cat Stevens is. Trust me😂

[@charleswenger5889]

Love Dave and Howard. Two people I listen to more than anyone else

[@geneparmesan8108]

Amen.

[@ekbusdriver]

Dave is just such a cool cat! Fascinating to hear such an incredibly skilled artist get nervous and star struck.

[@adeleferrell386]

Generational value in over the top and Dave makes us feel the human experience as Howard welcomes the wonderfulness of childhood thankyou for sharing

[@Nicop2227]

🌎✌️💫 Yes, yes, yes, yessss!! 🌎✌️💫

[@tinaandreandre]

Authentic and a great interview 🎶🎤🫶👏👏👏

[@PianoUniverse]

Harold and Maude had the best movie sound tract on this coolest movie.

[@ladyfreedomsrawnarratives]

Shiz the bed!! I love Dave and have for most of my life!! When I think I can’t love him more he is him and I love him more! 🤪

[@Cjones322]

Love me some Dave Matthews

[@Bakaat777]

Dave started telling the stories of playing albums and getting lost in them. Those albums he mentioned made it sound like *I* was the one speaking to Howard Stern about when I was growing up in the 70s. I had two older brothers who HAD the Neil Young albums and HAD the Cat Stevens albums, which I would play every night after basketball or baseball practice. Father and Son resonates with me so very much. Even at 94 and 62 respectively, my father and I STILL don't see eye to eye and every lyric follows my life like I wrote it myself. I know, I know... there are millions who have the same, same old story.(sorry) Yes, I'm shamelessly throwing out lyrics. THAT'S how much this song is a part of me. I know he has to go, but it will NOT be expected or wanted, no MATTER how much we've never gotten along. The love I have for that man can not be measured. Thank you, Yusef for this incredible song, and thank you too, Dave Matthews, for carrying on such an emotional song to millions. Peace... train. LOL... had to get in one last lyric. Peace!

[@Nicop2227]

You brought tears to my eyes. Beautifully written. Thanks for the heart wrenching words. 🌎✌️

[@IPlayOneOnT.V.]

Wow, Dave Matthews has that much respect from the music industry to play the songs of three contemporary music icons, in front of those icons and full-houses of those icons' fans. Insane!

[@lucasjharr6]

Dave Matthews oh yes!

[@joecrowaz]

You know that you have had an amazing life, when Dolly Pardon says to a room full of reporters... Ohhh, he ain't no terrorist!!! 💜💜

[@Erik-fs5zb]

I know almost nothing of Dave Matthews. This is just the second song I’ve ever heard of is besides his hit Crash Into Me. Now I’ll be digging into his discography. Something else this napalm haze over Gotham.

[@SkateOrDie666]

Look up #41 Live at Luther College

[@SkateOrDie666]

Look up #27 Live at Piedmont Park

[@Lammdawg1]

You won't be sorry

[@doomstarks182]

Before these crowded streets is good album to start with

[@shannonlacasse9718]

Been a fan for 28 years now..over 200 concerts..Have fun getting into them..once I started I couldn't stop

[@davenc8527]

Very nice cover of that song!

[@MrNategriffin]

dave seems to be getting more handsome as he ages.

[@ST-wo3uw]

Couldn't agree more! 😍

[@kimberlyd5379]

We love us some Dave!!❤❤

[@Ned88Man]

I'm not a huge fan of his music but he seems really cool

[@marknisbet696]

Not everyone has good taste in music, don’t worry about it.

[@Nicop2227]

​@@marknisbet696I second that 🌎✌️💫

[@ST-wo3uw]

❤dave❤

[@bgorski6937]

Favorite Dave Matthews cover is Lyle Lovett’s if I had a boat…

[@louisabraham9462]

Dave lost my Dad at 11 Cat Stevens Iconic song....

[@ronetteskiestante4064]

awwww sweet!:)

[@zuluboy4056]

Of course Howard doesn’t get any copyright strikes😂

[@SuperAndybarrett]

Salman Rushdie nuff said

[@gnlout7403]

Thank you. Someone is paying attention. F cat Stevens

[@JGunit]

DM could do some really cool voice work

[@JDAfrica]

Can you imagine …. THIS is CNN (a little bay bay!)

[@pamr4040]

♥

[@adamengel4891]

Go to Ronnies wedding WTF!?

[@mansoorshamsi7882]

it's Yusuf

[@JoelWende]

He’s back to Cat now.

[@gregmartin114]

Cover versions

[@sjh3099]

Yusuf Islam

[@DanielBoonelight]

when they are speaking about those albums, and especially that song, they certainly can refer to the name that is credited by the recording association, and cashed a bigole giant set of checks written out to that name.

[@steveroth191]

🥱

[@viktormuerte]

Dave is a glutton for punishment for agreeing to cover you could call me Al.

[@kevinsickmeier9229]

Why? He killed it

[@Nicop2227]

Dave NAILED, You CAN Call Me, Al.. 🌎✌️

[@poolhall9632]

That riff is just *minarets* deconstructed. Dave’s songs are very redundant now. Grey Street is just Tripping Billies - rehash.

[@BobK5]

Was Cat Stevens ditched decades ago and reincarnated into Yusef Islam, so how can you meet Cat Stevens when he doesn’t exist?

[@mountaindweller777]

He uses both names now.

[@BobK5]

@@mountaindweller777 is he trying to distance himself from the Caliphate or just looking at making extra cash under his more successful identity? Either way he’s an imposter.

[@hamacaboy]

I think Dave is really passionate, but his tendency to sing offkey really makes me not love it

[@joegordon2915]

so it IS possible to smoke too much pot.

[@GR_BackingTracks]

I cringed at Dave Matthews, but I showed up for Cat. I left after the "needle and the damage done".

[@mejohn101]

thank you for sharing

[@Terp311]

Cool story I guess😊

[@joeybushmen]

When you left did you start blowing dudes immediate or did you wait til you got home???

[@donnawood9049]

Your loss

[@Nicop2227]

Saying, "Your Loss" is an understatement. Dave can sing a phone book and make it sound absolutely nothing but uplifting, delicious, tasty, spiritual, body shaking , soul filling, and REAL. Peace

[@bboydrae]

So are we just not going to talk about JD being separated or divorced. It’s been going on since January.

[@mgnz88]

Who's JD?

[@andy42x]

For real? Where'd you hear this?

[@chrishoyt0917]

I'm not sure why people think that howard is a good interviewer.
