[@marcimarie1473]

I wasn’t a Dave Mathews fan until a friend of mine dragged me to one of his concerts. Blown away.

[@cjsawinski]

I’ve literally done that to countless people… I would always get “we are just going to see the crash into me band from the 90’s?!” My reply would be just trust me and wait and see… Literally countless friend groups converted over the years…

[@larsegenes6031]

Much like Pulse is for Pink Floyd, Live at Central Park for DMB is tits. Don't drink the water, Jimi thing and Cortez the killer at Central Park are great. Best version of All along the watchtower is live at Red Rocks. They do it better than Jimi Hendrix. He also does a great version of long black veil with Emmy Lou Harris.

[@marcimarie1473]

I’m still waiting for Sebs to see the live version of Wish You Were Here from Pulse lol. I’m not sure he picked up on Gilmour harmonizing perfectly with his guitar. I’d love to see that!

[@matthewwillis2389]

I use to make fun of my sister for listening to them when I was younger. She drug me to a concert in 05 at our home venue. Let’s just say. I see them multiple times every year! Favorite band/live concerts!

[@TreschiRXNZ]

DMB live is a spiritual experience. There's no other way to describe it. I saw them play 25 times in 2002 alone and no show was even remotely the same. I got a firedancer tattoo to commemorate that part of my life - my teens and 20s. Bartender is a favorite and I've always said I would like it to be played at my funeral. But their performance of Seek Up on 7/30/01 is mythical... for me, the single greatest performance in music history.

[@stephencalvird7276]

Hell yeah!

[@shannonbrigante5764]

I was at this show! Remember.. this is what they OPENED with! Dave is my absolute fav! I am tattooed.. my kids have initials.. I have a vanity license plate.. if you want to see the BAND, check out All Along The Watchtower from Central Park.. I was there as well.. 120k people.. $20 tickets.. it changed my soul.. the song is a bit long but it showcases almost all band members.. point of note.. it was also almost exactly 2 years post 9/11..

[@Doug.Helvering]

This entire live album is a gift that continues to bless all who experience its greatness.

[@zhorasalome7350]

You spoke of Dave's voice. Let me tell you something: I came across DMB for the first time in 1997 on VH1. "Don't Drink The Water" was the song. I've barely ever had a reaction like this to hearing a song for the first time. I felt like I had waited for this song my whole life. Like I had waited for Dave's VOICE my whole life. I became a fan in that moment.

[@michaelshope5976]

Dave Matthew's Band is one of the greatest bands of all time. Name another band that has a world-class drummer, violin player, horn section, and a bad ass bass player. I have been a huge fan since the early 90s. I have seen them more than 20 times and each time was a unbelievable experience. Please check out Seek Up (Epic Wailing Version). Tripping Billies, Dreaming Tree, The Stone, and 41 are some of their best songs. And my personal Favorite All Along the Watchtower. A Bob Dylan song made famous by Jimi Hendrix and perfected by DMB.

[@DalaiDrama-hp6oj]

Love ☺The Dreaming Tree 7.8.15 (Summer Warm Up Tour)

[@danielclark7960]

See DMB yearly @ SPAC in Saratoga NY.. Friday and Saturday, one of the best weekends of the year.

[@1BEAST1775]

The Space between song and music video is pure sugar cane for the ears and eyes, Satellite is awesome too

[@jessicahimmel7867]

This album is amazing, the live shows also amazing ❤ I met him in a hotel lobby when I was 15 checking in with my mother and friend. We were in town for his show lol I said I wouldn't tell anyone who he was if he gave me his autograph...he did..And a hug ❤❤❤

[@Bunke09]

I took my 10 year old son to see them last summer at The Gorge Amphitheatre (one of the best concert venues in the world)! It was wonderful.

[@brandon9909]

finally got to see them there this Labor Day weekend! incredible place

[@prentzess]

Thank you for checking this out. I know someone who follows Dave Matthew’s Band like Deadheads used to follow Grateful Dead. But I had never heard any DMB music. It is fascinating! Let’s hear some more!

[@Jude_196]

Seeing this band, live, is like being at a MUSCIAL SMORGASBORD and SAVORING EVERY BITE!! The INSTRUMENTALS: OH, MY!!! ...and, DAVE'S VOCAL!! WHEW!!! LOVE IT!!!

[@erinhansen2110]

I'm subscribing b/c I hope you'll do more Dave. Let me tell you a few things you'll find interesting: #1: You can listen to the same song in different formats (Dave by himself, Dave with someone like Tim, Dave with the full band) and each version is equally good, but for different reasons. #2: I used to work at the biggest concert venue in the Bay Area. I've seen probably a thousand concerts, no one brings the passion like Dave does every single night. The musicians in his band are amazing as well. #3: Dave is a COOL person and super unpretentious. He's donated a small fortune to charity, his songs have deep meanings, he stands up for important issues in the world. #4: The Warehouse Sessions has Dave + only his drummer Carter (so instead of Dave & Tim, it's Dave & Carter) and Dave plays piano on one of the songs there. #5: Most concert tickets sold in the last 40 years: #1: U2 = 26M+ #2: Dave Matthews Band = 23M+ #3: Rolling Stones = 22M+ #4: Bruce Springsteen = 20M+ #5: Elton John = 19M+ Great reaction... wait until you hear the whole band live. Cheers!

[@katscully]

Well said. 👍🥂

[@andrealarocco4941]

My first concert ever was DMB 1998. In the late 90’s early 2000’s DMB were EVERYWHERE. They were all over MTV and the radio stations. I’ve seen DMB at least a dozen times since then and they’re still amazing 😊.

[@danikagopcevic-levesque925]

LOVE DMB! BEST CONCERT EVER! ❤❤ Definitely check out more of them! You definitely won't be disappointed!😊

[@hillyhuskey1909]

Lyrics, lyrics, lyrics. SO very important with DMB, they're a very thought & soul provoking band. ❤

[@angelamccollister]

I just found your channel about a month ago. I can't believe I never thought of you listening to GMB because their music is so what you love. Live and recorded. And, yes, more DMB!

[@alansmith7626]

get the dvd or whatever and watch the entire thing...that one and Listener Supported are Amazing...keep on brother!

[@leighrear9676]

Ty for this! I had forgotten how beautiful his voice and artistry are!

[@RaymondBCrisp]

DMB has a VERY unique sound. Utilizes odd time signatures a lot, uses dynamics a lot, different keys and time signature switch-ups. He has a surprisingly powerful voice with an amazing timbre. As a musician yourself, you will LOVE DMB. Look forward to your dive into the rabbit hole.

[@lisaavery6456]

DMB LIVE, LIVE, LIVE!!!! All the way! SO many great concerts have been recorded with excellence.

[@artnmind]

CRASH. Has to be next 👍🏻

[@h60turbo]

You would really enjoy doing a deep dive on DMB. Crazy musicianship, great lyrics and outstanding live performances. You will not be disappointed!

[@TheKingofLimbs44]

If you're going to go down the DMB rabbit hole, check out the song "Two Step," but the live version from Live in Central Park. It's long, but worth it.

[@jeff7921]

I agree and the cool thing about checking out full band version of Two Step from Central Park is that there is that there is also a really good Dave and Tim version from this show. It would be easy to check out two different versions of the same song to compare and contrast.

[@ajschroetlin2196]

Yep. And a much better representation of the DMB sound.

[@cjsawinski]

That entire concert was just nuts, in the shadows of 9/11… also imo the peak of DMB as a band, still having LeRoi and Boyd, Warren Haynes sneaking in for some licks… I wasn’t at that show but damn I wish I was. I’ve seen them @ Red Rocks (either 95 or 96, it was an early live release), at the gorge a few times, countless times at Alpine Valley (more local to me), VA Beach, and yes I was lucky enough to see them in the very beginning at “the warehouse” when I was about 10 years old… All the times I’ve actually been there I really wish I was there in Central Park

[@RogueAlchemyArts]

DMB is one of my go-to's when I don't know what I want to listen to but need music on. It always does the trick. My fondest wish is to see them live, but I'm allergic to marijauna so I can never go, and it super sucks. Go see them live if you can.

[@darsynia]

Oh this ACTIVATED my love for Dave Matthews Band. Heck, HECK yes. I need to bring all of this back.

[@childcrone]

Yes! As the Band and 'solo' indescribably something that must be experienced for oneself. I put 'solo' in quotes because he is big on playing with other super musicians.

[@fenicks22]

Love the band and the song Appreciate your reaction.

[@carriemichelle322]

Crash into Me is one of my many favorites. DMB is so much fun to watch LIVE and incredibly talented!! 😎

[@DocRock71]

You are missing out on DMB. I''ll bet you will be blown away by the level of musicianship of this band. Always a treat watching the band and Dave perform live, but THIS acoustic version of Bartender with Tim Reynolds is just on another level. I got really emotional and goose bumpy the first time I saw this clip.

[@stanleyfranks9891]

"If All This Gold should steal my Soul" a beautiful Line About the Materialism that consumes most on this Planets

[@AL_1547]

The Trevor Hall shout out was one I wasn’t expecting. I also dealt with some fairly severe anxiety in that same timeframe and the song Green Mountain State from the album Chapter of the Forest was a staple in my rotation when I needed to bring everything down a notch. Anyway, DMB is definitely a unique band that some people unfortunately love to hate. They’re incredible, though. Obviously this wasn’t a good example but Carter is a truly unreal drummer. These dudes still bring it and somehow Dave has maintained his voice for over 30 years now. Definitely recommend seeing them live.

[@thebeardedpyro3266]

There’s so so so much more. Every decade sounds a bit different. Love DMB!

[@tas22222]

Love

[@jackdurkin1401]

First of all, I love your channel. I’ve seen Dave many times over the years. I took my oldest son, who is now 34, to see DMB when he was 20. He’s now seen him more than I have, and has turned his wife and children onto Dave! It’s incredible when music becomes generational, and that speaks to Dave’s music! You love live music, so check out The Central Park Concert!

[@scottkennedy8521]

Lie in our graves from that show is perfection…. “One note!”

[@jamiespeese2062]

There is NOTHING like DMB live. One of my favorites by him is “Sister” … which has a really sad backstory, he grew up in South Africa and his sister was murdered by her husband. He wrote the song in the POV of her husband when/after he did it… all of his songs are so unique and that’s why they are still relevant after 30 years. Great reaction ☺️

[@jamiespeese2062]

My bad, the song is called The Stone🤦‍♀️ but Sister is another gut-wrenching song about her

[@Escapenurse01]

DMB is definitely an experience! That band gives 1000% every show, and I have never had a bad time. He is genuine and accessible. Again, commercial success is not a gauge for me, as genres change continually. The ones that sustain typically are the ones that are truly talented and simply like to create art. I think you would really like more live shows ( any) but really enjoy some solos with Timmy. He is truly a unicorn!

[@LoraHauschildt]

Hope you are ready to go down another ranbit hole!! DMD is fabulous ❤❤

[@erinwhite1077]

Great choice for first exposure to DMB. But Dave and Timmy are solid musical gold just two best friends and their guitars. If you like this Dave and Timmy did Storytellers on VH1. The time signatures and vocals are a so incredibly moving. Saw them live many times late 90's and early 00's

[@alyssajennings3046]

You won’t regret going down this rabbit hole. I’ve heard his live shows are a spiritual experience!!

[@christinaford1801]

I will be seeing DMB Friday night at the Bourbon & Beyond Festival in Louisville. Dave is an experience like no other. Many call his band the ultimate jam band and I would agree. He was one of the most popular bands in the late 90s and still has a massive following. Go down that rabbit hole, you won’t be disappointed. His guitarist Tim Reynolds is definitely one of the most underrated you will ever hear and you should check out some of his and Dave’s acoustic material.

[@scapito]

Enjoy tonight! Bourbon and Beyond is by far one of the best music festivals.

[@sarahl1600]

Ah! You found DMB! Heh. If you want the jam band experience - 'Two Step' from the Central Park concert is fantastic introduction to their stuff. Bit longer - it's like 18min? 19min? But it vibes so hard and is a great demo of being at a live DMB show. :) (I mean, if you're going to drop into DMB music, might as well go for the full 20min long jam fest live versions, right?) I don't know about other DMB fans - but for me, the studio versions are alright. The live show versions/experiences are why I'm a nearly 30-year fan at this point.

[@shawnneichelberger6293]

Bartender live at the gorge! A completely different song...

[@KRAMPUS_420]

DMB live is an experience that is hard to put into words. It's an awakening of sorts that needs to be felt and heard. If you don't like hearing one song for 10 minutes, DMB is not for you. Thank you for turning me onto Trevor Hall. Chapter of the Forest is an amazing album. Thanks again for that.

[@Mhantrax]

Good on who put you watching this duo instead of the whole band. They know what you are talking about. The full DMB is fine, and all, but if you are a guitarist and into meditation and (generic, or eastern) spirituality, then this is probably much more up your alley. Also, this entire live album is absolutely amazing. Highly recommended. Funny you mention albums during tough times, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds acoustic set at Luther College (which as a whole I actually find superior to the Radio City Music Hall version), was what I listened to daily, every day while running my landscaping route in 2001. I had a LOT of things that needed to heal and grow. They were truly integral to my healing.

[@rondidriksen]

Check out Dave Matthew’s band with Warren Haynes live Cortez the Killer.Great jam you’ll love Warren on Guitar!

[@matthewbruss7506]

Cortez The Killer - 9/3/11 - DMB w/ Warren Haynes

[@caleb_daniel_24]

Just subbed so I don't know your style preference, but I'll throw my hat in with "the stone" or "#41", either studio or "live listener supported" versions for both. Get ready for not normal

[@SdMbL1]

React to the full band live next. Ants Marching- Piedmont Park Two Step- Piedmont Park Don’t Drink The Water- Central Park All Along the Watchtower- Central Park #41- Listener Supported Rapunzel- Listener Supported Anything from Piedmont Park, Central Park or Listener Supported is a good starting point.

[@jimmywilmore1881]

Influenced from his upbringing in South Africa.

[@mrbohjangles2052]

This made my day!!!!

[@josephbabcock4236]

That whole set is art. My favorite song was "Grave Digger"

[@michaelj3414]

I am beyond glad that MTV or Much Music didn't inflence my direction in music. What a horrible thought.

[@melissatomlin13]

Gravedigger is one of my favorites. And DMB was VHI staple music. His music was rock, world, jazz, and folk combined.

[@lorenzafasolo8923]

For the band's stronger sound definitely worth checking Don't Drink the Water in the Central park live version! Or their cover of Dylan (Hendrix) All Along the Watchtower. Always live performances ❤

[@PauliG]

FIrst comment? DMB is one of my favs. Very talented group.

[@majnun3]

Just checked out that Trevor Hall album, thanks for that sidebar, I love it!!

[@FinallyTuned]

People made fun of DMB for 2 reasons - 1. he was so different and people didn’t understand; 2. he was popular because they are so good and some people ridicule that in order try to make themselves different.

[@TheDoddsquad]

Been creeping on your channel recently, love your vibe, just subscribed. I was waiting for you to see Dave. This is the “free crack” some that people first get hooked on! Near perfect performance! So many more songs! My “ top 10” playlist of DMB is 47 songs deep. Yes: Gravedigger, Crush, Funny the Way It Is, Baby Blue, Ants Marching, All Along the Watchtower, so so many more…. Go nuts bro. Then come to the Gorge and see them live.

[@katscully]

YES YES YES. More DMB. Especially if you’re a fan of unique signature/time changes. My fav song of theirs is one called “#41”. 👍🥂

[@LordOyoSriph]

DMB was crunchy hippie music that turned out to be so much more. Kinda like a modern "Dead". Gravedigger, 48, satellite, u & I are all recommend

[@bvdstitching]

The acoustic version of Gravedigger is one of my favorites and the music video of You and Me. The simplicity and complexity of his arrangements are unparalleled. He is originally from South Africa and lives in New Orleans. You can really thrust influence in his music. Especially Gru Grux King. That album is chef's kiss.

[@graveltravel7186]

DMB is one of those bands whose notoriety comes more from their live shows than from their studio albums (though their studio albums are incredible as well). My intro to Dave Matthews was the Live at Luther College acoustic double live album way back in, I believe, 1996. It was just him and Tim Reynolds with their guitars. If memory serves me right, I believe this show at Radio City Music Hall was part of a tour that he and Tim did 10 years after that tour in 1996/97 kind of as a reprise or sequel to the original acoustic tour. I saw the full band on tour in 2004 as well. They put on an incredible show - such a high level of creative musicianship from guys who have played together for 30 years.

[@crazyeazy41]

Great reaction.. Welcome to the World of DMB

[@TPABrandon]

I started listening to them when I was 12. 22 freaking years ago now. They are still just as good, if not better! I love the popular songs obviously, but here’s a B-side song. You never know live VH1. It’s the full touring band around 2002 on the rooftop in NYC. They ended up playing a whole 45 minute set but it’s crazy time signatures, odd tunings, amazing lyrics and when you think you can get the count down, the infamous Carter Beauford goes from 6/8->5/8->6/8 and think there is some 4/4 in there somewhere.

[@jasonzwack8342]

Im like you I never listened to them till like last year. you picked the best BEST one to be reintroduced to him.

[@jimmywilmore1881]

Omg MEGADEATH! YES!!! Me too

[@jesrush]

What!? Love this one!✌️😊🔥

[@spacehonky6315]

I did enjoy the DMB hits that were popular on the radio. Crash, GraveDigger, AntsMarching, etc. I did sort of mock my friends that were super fans. Two of them were guitar players in my dorm that would play the same bar chords over and over and over... We'd drink beer and listen to DMB over and over and... never talk about anything else. It got old.

[@srv2217]

The mad genius of Tim Reynolds

[@JimScholfield]

I think I saw that this years tour included 120 songs among all the dates world wide. These performances at Radio City with Tim are among my favorites. Especially Two Step. My favorite record is the sets from Live at Red Rocks over the 4 nights. #41 is my favorite on that.

[@cjsawinski]

About 9:50 “I live that his live performances are completely different” You have no idea how many people that I got hooked on Dave because of this… they all said oh “crash into me”, he’s just a 90’s radio one hit wonder… then you see him and the band live and he opens with an acoustic needle and the damage done and continues into a ripper of a set. I’ve seen him sober, drunk and high, tripping on different things, in perfect weather, in thunderstorms and even tornadoes… always just a hell of a weekend no matter how it shakes out… And sorry again but I just really miss LeRoi and Boyd…

[@Trucker231610]

Yes more Dave Matthews Band. Live!!

[@bodhibeats8257]

Great reaction! Would love to see you check out some Dave with his full band! 😁

[@reneeclark-od9bf]

Any Dave Matthew's is phenomenal but you didn't hear DMB. which is actually a band. Electric violinist, 16 year old bass prodigy. One of the all time best drummers & saxophone. Really unique & totally enjoyable.

[@colinpenuel180]

You should check out The Dreaming Tree live from Piedmont Park in Atlanta in 2007. That was my first time seeing them live and as others have commented, it was a spiritual experience

[@jimc3786]

He does have very good shows, his first 2 / 3 albums are really good

[@gradypowell5391]

You Should Do More of DMB.Great Writing,Great Musicians and A Band With A Sound All Their Own.Great,Great Band!!

[@alansmith7626]

if you really want to get their journey Please, for your own understanding, start at the beginning of their career, the entire band is of the chart...Thanks!

[@maryyoung2549]

Bartender is perfect for first listen😊

[@OvercookedOctopusFeet]

DMB live band performances are something special. Central park concert stands out as a legendary performance.

[@billyblackman9996]

Check out any live performance from the Central Park concert. Every song is a gem and very well played…has his whole band with him.

[@karinwolf3645]

DMB... Crazy is a great song!! 😻💋😆👵🐺🌵

[@darrinlindsey]

A funny/gross story about The Dave Matthews Band. I was visiting Chicago once, early in this century. If you've been to Chicago, you know that the downtown bridges, over the Chicago River, are draw bridges. They aren't made of concrete (which would be solid), they're made of steel bars, and have a perforated appearance. One day I was contemplating going on a River Tour Boat, that goes up the River with all kinds of information about the city. I eventually chose to wait a day for that. The next morning, on the local news, I heard that there had been some problems with The Dave Matthews Band Tour Bus. It turned out that the Tour Bus had, inadvertently, unloaded the septic tank while sitting on one of the bridges. The sewer matter went through the bridge, and onto one of the Tour Boats. I have never been more secure in my choice to skip the Tour Boat that day, than any other choice I've made in my 58 years.

[@kathrynpupos9103]

I have a friend who is a DMB devotee . He highly recommends experiencing them at Red Rocks Amphitheater.

[@Kelly-i4j]

You should do the whole band live, it’s amazing

[@paulcanbefoundhere]

My DMD trilogy is What you are, Grey Street, Ants Marching. All available live at the Central Park concert.

[@delmedico6804]

Funny enough, I’ve been hearing Trevor hall at the coffee shop I “work from home” at. I just told the barista the other day how I thought he sounded like Dave Matthews.

[@richm6329]

I stopped by today because I'm a huge Dave fan. Check out his cover of All Along the Watchtower from Live at Central Park. You will be happy you did!

[@davidbradshaw2293]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@briancarroll6803]

I'm glad to see Tank made it out of The Matrix and has moved into doing great reviews like this for us 😅

[@jamiemarie1182]

As a guitarist you must do a deep dive into Dave Matthew’s. Beyond genius

[@aarongoen4473]

Two step and don't drink the water are both great live.

[@matthewmolloy6803]

this whole album is fantastic, but any dave is worth checking out. and if they are playing anywhere remotely close, see them live!!!

[@victorseaton9123]

The Maker. A must.

[@hobokendpc]

Yes please check out more DMB especially live stuff they feed off each other. Carter Beaufort is a beast of a drummer! But they are tight as a collective.

[@ConnerSpeed6]

I would be remis if I didn't come here and recommend that you react to "41" from this exact same concert. It makes me tear up every single time it's a beautiful song.

[@ChrisSlaughter-pz6zr]

@Sebs Duran - As a long time DMB fan, here is my absolute favorite live video of the full band. LeRoi Moore plays sax on this song and he passed away several years ago and to me, he was the soul of the band. Their sound has lost the jazzy feel that I loved, but LeRoi's solo in this one just kills me every single time I hear this song. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXq0poSnndN_ftksi=e8dv_bcwbk1ax-v7

[@abeellis4470]

I’m glad you’ve finally experienced DMB.

[@jasonking1251]

If you don't recognize Satellite, then you should get the music and try to play it on guitar. Then listen to the version. I'm not going to pretend that it is the greatest song, but it's definitely different.

[@jasonzwack8342]

No you did the right one. and dude I want you to do WAREHOUSE farm aid 7 years ago.. haha dude the RIFF is going to confuse the shit out of you with the timing and hahah the fact that hes playing what hes playing and singing is just mind blowing brother
