I Saw Her Standing There

by Pharrell Williams on drums, Sting on bass, Dave Matthews on rythym guitar and Vince Gill on lead guitar.

[@rubysapphire14]

Pharell Williams is one half of the Neptunes, one if the most sucessful producing duos in recent times, he is part of the band N*E*R*D, an alternative band and he is a solo artist, aas well as a fashion designer.

[@pulsingdrums]

What a vocalist Vince Gill is (not to mention his ability on the guitar).

[@Folma7]

More Pharrel!! Had just heard of him with I happened to catch this performance on Grammy night. This whole dedication was pretty cool!

[@Betterifitsfree]

Vinces' free flowing solo is Awesome!

[@whatiwasgoingtosay]

Needed more Vince Gill. He was doing it right.

[@thiura222]

I like this performance a lot. But it's funny how Pharell loses the beat at around 3:20, and Vince Gill looks at him and gives him the beat again by nodding to it. lol Sting is the freakin man though.

[@brointheknow]

"...Vince Gill who is mr singer songwriter guitar player..." ...and mandolin, bass, banjo, etc, etc. He's def. a freak. Crazy talent. I really like this performance.

[@carolfournier7868]

Awesome thanks for sharing!!!!!!!

[@Dizzylex]

For those saying Dave Matthews can't sing I suggest you go check the cover he did of "In My Life" (also by The Beatles) for a John Lennon tribute concert. Eat your heart out. He sings it with so much feeling... Loved this cover!

[@vincejarrydortizfortaleza6554]

awesome music!! 👍👍👍👍😃😀

[@flyingfishsurf]

Great drum & bass.

[@brointheknow]

"...let the beatles do their thing" ahh...okay. I'm sure they'll get right on that. I think sting sounded great. Has awesome control over his voice.

[@alexshort14]

Decent performance, about all this dave matthews debate. He is a brilliant singer/songwriter, with a unique voice. However, this was after a long summer tour - and DMB plays 70 shows a summer, his voice is shot. So before bashing the guy, listen to him first. Nothing more ignorant than judging an artist based on something they didn't write, when their voice is shot. Props to him for being himself and not just trying to sound like a beatle.

[@oaxakitajux]

Superband!!!

[@sothenisay]

Pharrell really did well. He should have been singing.

[@guitrich]

I just watched this again and I noticed that Vince kinda "stuttered" a little on the solo at 3:10. No big deal, he did great.

[@bigboijc]

well..Dave is one heck of a songwriter..and a uniquely voiced singer (I love that his voice is so bad it's good) and you got Vince Gill who is mr singer songwriter guitar player and Sting who is all three as well..and pharrell...i literally do not know about him.

[@JohnnyContagious]

Yeah, Vince Gill is a God, all right - his version of 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas' is the most embarassing Christmas song ever produced and that's some fucking achievement. In that field, and in that field only, the saccharine infested cockend is unparalleled.

[@MurrayMelander]

I have never understood why these music shows need to have celebrity non music hosts. They just get in the way of the music.

[@oliverhyme478]

dang, they should just have focused the cam on pretty boy pharrell, this would have made 10 million views, aaargh! of course, he is great on drums!!

[@nerdgirlism]

i think this is when i fell hard in love with pharrell...

[@bigboijc]

oh..cool! man i'd love to meet carter and learn some of his drumming techniques. but i guess for now i'd have to just settle for watching them on tv and dvd. anyway you cut it...he's just one of the best drummers if not the best!

[@bigboijc]

cool! ever run into anyone from DMB at the grocery store or anything like that?

[@iaintnomartha]

Dave Matthews is singing flat, Sting is screaming and Vince Gill,..well,..he's the only one that can sing and holds a note perfectly. Vince plays the guitar like the Chet Atkins prodigy that he is. Vince is without a doubt the most incredible artist this world has seen in many, many years.

[@moscar00]

any guys have a cam? i have mine in my profile S

[@guitrich]

You're right, It's a Casino.

[@wiserobin]

It seemed like Pharrell started to go out of time a little bit past the solo?

[@TitoYuca]

pharrell did a great job, just look at every drum cover for this song on youtube - NO ONE gets it right, and he did. sting's voice is great. overall good performance, even if they fucked up the lyrics a bit.

[@calebbrow]

According to the RIAA, DMB clocks in at around 40 in the top selling artists of all time, with around 32 million albums sold. Mr Gill, well he's a bit further down the list, at around 70 right behind the Carpenters with just about 23 million albums sold. erikkanter you are correct, DMB has sold more records than Vince Gill.

[@whatiwasgoingtosay]

Records sold isn’t the best indicator of talent. People, in general, are notoriously stupid. Vince has 22 Grammy awards, though, because he’s well respected and admired by people who know good music.

[@bigboijc]

charlottesville?

[@bigboijc]

Dave isn't a great a singer..but what makes him so great is that he does sing well with what range he has.

[@tehorix789]

i think he just took it half-time to change things up a bit.

[@sacker12]

Too bad they showed footage from the Miami appearance instead of the first NY appearance.

[@jpconnol]

agreed. definite slip up.

[@jimstocool]

this is an awesome clip... and dave has buisness playing with them... more people go to see him every year than any of the others... they all rocked,, but those who hate on dave arent that bright.

[@guitrich]

It's great to see Vince rock it with the Epiphone Dot. Edit out ellen degenerate and the video would be 100% better.

[@Singnlow98]

forgive me for being an idiot but is Pharrell Williams a part of an established band or is he a solo performer? Nevertheless, he is an excellent drummer.

[@ernies.260]

Pharrell on the drums!!!

[@drums127]

they shared a mic just the Beatles did , it is a tribute you know

[@JetPuff96]

Sting looks like Neil Patrick Harris.

[@OCAA85]

@thiura222 never lost the beat it was a halftime.

[@SupahflyJazzguy]

>people say Dave Matthews is horrible >most successful touring act of the past decade >mfw

[@johnPiercey]

ditto

[@bigboijc]

underrated? where'd you come up with that??? the most underrated guitar player to me is Brent Mason. you hear him on just about every nashville cut that ever came out from probably around 82 to present day.

[@RiRiLiscis]

Yeah... but you didn't answer my question. Yes, or no? Do you have a problem?

[@Narut0Kur0saki]

@thiura222 didnt loose beat

[@ManiLevin]

um no It was probably a rehersed half time

[@AiyanaJaneDoe]

It wasn't even close.

[@johnPiercey]

Is Dave Matthews dad or mom, like, real important, or they own a record company? I just can not understand how that guy makes a living.

[@ManiLevin]

Pharell didnt lose the beat he just went half time the white boy didnt get it get it

[@bigboijc]

no...i think he lost his concentration therefore you have the switchup. it happens

[@tonymac4862]

how were people laughing at ellen’s weak ass jokes ?🤣

[@nonstoprocker5377]

uhhh?...you mighta took that comparison a bit too literally....all I was sayin is that comparin this Pharrel guy with Ringo is like comparin apples and oranges.

[@Obeijin]

3 stars.

[@AllenMajewski]

is ellen on amphetamines?

[@leob4403]

She's trying to be funny

[@RobbyGrossman]

"steven tyler" lol, come on dude...

[@jarkieconqueso]

Not enough attention on Pharrell in this video

[@Ramon12]

4 top musicians, howeve this version of I saw her standing there is far far away from the fab ones. It's just impossible to beat them. The sound of the drum is just terrible... to perfect and clean

[@nonstoprocker5377]

Lmao...Theres only about 1 billion people that would disagree with ya...Thats like takin Prince over Black Sabbath

[@mrrreeowww]

Wow, you'd think Dave Matthews could have bothered to learn all the words (he also messed up the first chorus singing background to what, Sting? Whoever did the first chorus). I really really like DMB a lot but Dave should never cover early Beatles stuff again. It is just not suited to his voice at all.

[@jimstocool]

if pharelles the only good one, why isnt he singing?

[@bigboijc]

too perfect and clean...i've not heard that complaint...in fact...the set was not perfect and was too clean sounding...had no personality eq'ed into the drums. but hey..when you have a fast moving awards show..you have no time for absolute perfection.

[@johnPiercey]

Who's Dave? I see Sting, Vince, Farrell, and some dude that can't sing. He has a nice guitar. Is that why they chose him? like in the old days you let the dude that bought the instrument be in the band in spite of the fact the he SUCKS!

[@iamrubens]

That was lame

[@VFoVendetta]

that was the worst monologue ever.

[@fitrunner2500]

Interesting how these three are struggling with the vocals. They suck really. Shows how amazing Paul McCartney was vocally and how the rest of Beatles nailed the harmonies. Dave Matthews can't sing period but I was surprised how Sting and Vince failed to pull it off.

[@johnPiercey]

He has one style: boring.

[@niceprince]

Dave Matthews Band has got to be the most overrated group of all time.

[@ericoutofsight]

weak weak cover! good solo by Gill, Matthews and Sting got to much ego to play this song. Matthews is soooooooo terrible! his ooooooooos are soo out of tune.

[@indigo21]

Vince Gill and Sting saved it by.... Matthews can't carry anything let alone a tune!

[@Jerichoholic20]

no energy by pharrell ruins the song even though Sting kicks ass
