Wildcat

[@erikmerz77]

Gary Clark Jr. is a flat-out stud... And Tim Reynolds not only taking a back seat but nearly hiding in the background to keep the focus on Gary shows their class and professionalism... Love that stuff.

[@kwsturdivant]

Good comment

[@JMackFromChicago]

[@juniorjohnson9509]

[@awfredrick21]

I have never seen a hand strum a guitar like he does at 7:30!!!! Gary Clark Jr. is the F'n Man!

[@GCJrFan]

7:30 was literally on fire 🎸🔥🔥🔥

[@mattdaniel9972]

[@stefananders323]

That's a John Lee Hooker strum.

[@VoluntaristJAM]

Clark makes this worth watching - love to see the support the rest of the band (and audience) gives him.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

[@RockbackReview]

One of the greatest songs of all time!

[@drk.i.a.2969]

Yea, but ya gotta read the lyrics..my boy Dave ain't the best in enunciation of the words to this song but thats me..anyway was blown away when my girlfriend took me to see Dave...the 1st time..I love music..saw commodores with Lionel Richie, Stevie, all the funkatiers bands from BOOSTY COLLIONS IE STAR CHILD & THE landing of the mothership landing (A flying saucer landing on stage!😅)..Rick james on the regular..anyway abt 200 diff stars.. ...and after seeing DAVE hes in my top 10..summer nite & nice concert venue..his array of music is its own standing..great musicians & they hv fun..I even went to see him alone as my girl & I had broke up but had to see my guy & the crowd was always into it, so I met fans who kept me company....gotta see this guy once if you a concert lover....or your cheating yourself.

[@acheybrenda]

What!! That was absolutely amazing.

[@ronwood1411]

Indeed. I HAD seen, live, the Dead do Watchtower...with Carlos Santana as a guest. i Saw Neil Young do it with Booker T and the MG's.. Might be THE best rock song of all.. but you need to REALLY nail it. This did nail it.

[@AJ........]

there isnt a volume loud enough

[@elihintz5620]

carter beauford: the happiest man on earth

[@cus2261]

I would have died if I was present for this one

[@kyill27]

Gary Clark Jr. is a bad mama jamma pumped to see him at summerfest tomorrow night

[@mbulelobam7529]

He a bad mother shut your mouth. I feel bad for replying to a 7-year-old torrent

[@beardown2489]

Crazy to look back at this comment section 10 years later. It appears most viewing this didn’t quite understand they were witnessing a star in the making. Most of the posts giving Gary his flowers are from the last 3-5 years. At least people caught on

[@Nick68S]

WOW! An amazing performance. Like the violin/fiddle and horns, a nice addition

[@michaelstevenson3100]

Gary's right hand is amazing!

[@bobkmac]

Left hand aint too bad either.

[@ankolor]

two idols playing all along watchtower... i like the 4 cams video! Cool Men!!! congrats

[@rgmay001]

Great work again Copperpot!

[@nhwnhw02]

What a performance! If you lo e this check out GCjr playing Bright Lights at one of the Crossroads Festivals with Doyle Bramhall II. 😊

[@trocker222]

ya........Gary brought that to life !!

[@margaretricher4474]

This is great! It's just such a young audience. I'm just wondering how many people in that audience know that this is an old Bob Dylan tune from the 60s. My hope is that this generation know the history of rock music. By the way, in my opinion, almost anybody who does a cover of any Bob Dylan tune almost always does it better. But I still have to give kudos to Bob for composing his lyrics and music. He is an icon, even today, as his music is still performed today! It's all good!

[@jeffjforUKgocats]

still gotta thank BOB probally the best poet in American music history

[@StuHutString]

I love it

[@catequ]

GRANDIOSI!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jacobyhale]

Wow. Just wow.

[@RosePorto]

Masterful!!

[@annbashir5888]

Sooo great

[@dusty52267]

you continue to amaze, what a treat. Thanks for all you do posting these clips!

[@LamarrBaxter]

GCJ is a beast😃

[@igbolearning8539]

amazing!

[@leostieglitz]

great moment

[@zbennalley]

The beautiful of Gary's solo in this is his timing if the drummer is looking at you like this is because you're going with and against the beat in the best possible way.

[@Copperpot5]

Gary Clark Jr. is playing the same events as #DMB in Australia this coming week so there's a good chance he'll guest. Gary Clark jr + DMB at Deer Creek in 2012 - (Starting the player by his solo - roll it back if you'd like): kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6jVhauEabGZpZIm38s

[@mariamartin12]

The band had to keep up with Mr, Clark! He is just awesome!!!

[@jacquelynwhittaker1536]

Phenomenal!

[@matthewjames2250]

That was un-fucking-real! I needed that in my life!

[@jenniferbeavers8680]

Matt Brown yes! It’s infectious ❤️

[@scapito]

I was fortunate enough to be at this show. GCJ opened, so I was hoping he would come back out.

[@kitty2pat]

What a performance !!!! The hand-doctor will have Gary in a wrist brace if he plays that hard too often; permissable only when I'm in the audience. Lol. Love you, Gary.

[@nderkange6379]

Can somebody please explain what I've just witnessed at 7.30mins Gary Clark Jr just tore that guitar a new assho.........😂😂 The camera literally couldn't keep up with the speed of his hands Wow, im literally speechless.....

[@shanevermij4780]

Gary you are the shifizz, to all you shredders here's a guitar lesson for you all. D MB you guys are always a pleasure to watch, Carter, you are amazing drummer👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@rodneyfaith]

6:57 this lesson is brought to you by Gary Clark Jr. Learn well my friends.

[@GCJrFan]

❤️

[@vlada]

Every generation has great musicians. Like this guy in his. The crescendo at 8:28 was just adrenaline. Not something to listen to before going to bed

[@jaswantsukthankar9834]

Awesome.....just psychedelic

[@kgodbey60]

Love it, and DMB totally !

[@juangarciaparra5033]

Amazing, la primera interpretación que he visto de Gary Clark Jr ... no sé cómo no no vi hasta ahora. Hice una crítica de ella en mi muro de Facebook. ¡Impresionante! En escena, su presencia, su porte, su música, su cante... su ACTITUD; ¿humildad a pesar de todo? Me gustaría ser su amigo, según cómo piense. ¿La actitud, la espera del público?: ¡La más expectante, respetuosa, amable, apreciativa, deseosa y ansiosa pero controlada, de verle actuar que he visto! Lo quieren.

[@rodneyfaith]

Seeing them Friday in Hershey PA. I can only pray something this magical will happen. (and I am sure it will)

[@ingeeichinger4933]

grandioser Auftritt von GCJr. Respekt !!!

[@AmericangirlKim]

Wow!! Fire!!

[@toronzocannonthechicagoblu7179]

[@thevillageshaman]

Daves gonna let Gary steal the show... Dam thats some wisdom. Wouldn be surprised if gary smashes his guitar at the end.. ha ha

[@jcomer1982]

WTF? Best. Watchtower. Ever.

[@stilllifewithguitar184]

I'm not a DMB fan in the slightest but damn that was awesome. Love Gary though.

[@caldario79]

[@ydarbkran]

[@sheilaw6020]

Electrifying!!!

[@jliz6435]

WOW 🤗😀🔥❤️

[@chitranthirupathy6678]

Tears. Goddamn.

[@redzwestisbest]

Give me the Black Keys guitarist, Jack White and Gary Clark Jr and its a trifecta

[@elowe5937]

Holy Shit.

[@toddshampine]

I was here.

[@mgrimault]

was he at woodstock 99 ? i think i remember a concert where a white guy played all along the watchtower on acoustic

[@RealZeal96]

Yeah. That was him

[@raptoro07]

Dave's been playing a Rockbridge alot of the time this tour.

[@seadragon63]

:D Awesome !

[@crearick0715]

God I wish i made it there this year =[[

[@hollygF1M]

Gary Clark at 5:00 in case that's what you're looking for!

[@jimbag8]

WOW....if SRV and Jimi came back as one guy for a jam with Dave. just wow.

[@lagunafishing]

Gary not only stole the show he saved it and made it.

[@unixriver]

gives me chills

[@Tommy2shoe811]

DMB always puts on sick shows at Deer Creek. Phish did too but they’re kinda past it now unfortunately. Deer Creek Red Rocks Alpine Valley and the Gorge in Washington are the best outdoor venues in the country.

[@raquelquijada5444]

Jejrujp

[@fliphkd4293]

What if GCJ and Dave would have gone back and fourth singing lines during the verse? Kinda like Cortez the Killer with Warren Haynes. That would have been outrageous

It might be difficult turn around for DM but Gary represents the lost soul of true music and performance and there is quite a contrast on that between Gary and DM. What should Dave do to reconquer this lost brilliance? Maybe a restart from the origins and not a repetition of itself...

[@justinprince8761]

I don't know why everyone is saying he is trying to sound like Hendrix or play like Hendrix. Nobody will be like Hendrix. As for his playing it's without a doubt based off the Carlos Santana and dmb all along the watchtower. Any dmb fan could tell that right away. Gary sounds like he's going for the Santana style way more than a Hendrix thing.

[@Dave_A41]

Anyone know the make and model of the sunburst guitar ?, I tried to read the headstock but couldn't make it out, look @ 3:40
