BIG thanks for putting this up. Was just wondering if it was on here. I was there in 96 for Jazz and Blues fest staying a block away form the theater, and they hooked us up with tickets. We were front row center in the balcony. Was a marathon performance by Dave
Can always come here to remember what it was like to be young, happy, and not a care in the world. 25 years later… and I’m just happy to be alive. Much of it due to this band. And Copperpot! You have all my respect. Thank you 🙏
Totally Appreciate all that you said Keith. Uncerstood and respected, as well, I can totally relate!! As th saying goes Peace,Love and damn good music !!
You cannot be a guitar player and say “Dave Matthew’s sucks.” Incredible guitarist. I nerd out on learning to play his songs exactly like he does. What a workout.
Thank you for uploading this! This is my favorite era of DMB. Just the 5 of them on stage jamming away! I so miss the violin. I hope they bring back the violin. It's like the soul of the music.
@@johnc1280 I totally agree, and BTCS especially because Lillywhite exclusively produced that one. Such an amazing time. RCA and the band really messed up when they shelved the Lillywhite Sessions. I'm so happy that got leaked because that was great stuff. By the time Busted Stuff came around, it just wasn't the same.
Copperpot....I wish you could get some sort of reward for giving us live visuals for shows we were there for. You are a gift and I am so grateful for the time you put into making these great!!!!! There's nothing like the early years of DMB.
This isn't just back when Boyd was in the band, this is back when he was a huge asset and not a liability (playing and otherwise). Like, holy shit, he's in tune here.
Just got introduced to this band about two weeks ago by my new partner my island warrior that now lives in the land of auz ..these guys are awesome...amazing how musicians like this seem to slip through the tracks when we only live across the pacific pond from eachother ???
#36!! How many times I've listened to #36 from Red Rocks 1995 drinking a scotch and smoking a cigar imagining what it would have been like to see it live. This is as close as it gets.
How amazing!!! Watching their performances literally brings tears to my eyes. I wish I was much older back then to attend their concerts. I will be attending my first DMB concert next year.
I saw them a couple months after this, I was 16. Floor seats scored last minute. A drunk middle-aged woman fell on me while she was dancing, it was a crazy show.
That first slow version of WWYS. My god - how have I only just discovered this version!? I've been listening to that song in various forms since like 1996, and just heard it for the first time in 2023. Amazing.
awesome, thanks. Watching it now - full screen and through bluetooth speaker. Never really realized it but Dave - among other talents - is a pretty dang good and quite unique guitar player. These guys were and always will be fantastic.
Was reminiscing about how I got tickets to this show last minute. So I went looking for the video. I probably saw him 16x and this was one of my favorite intimate shows by DMB. Can’t believe this is on YT and great vid quality.
This evening, as I was delighting in the band, I turned away to play with my dog for a moment, and when I turned back, there was a basket of strawberries and cherries. My girl had gottn for me. For one of the brief moments in my life, I felt as if I was in heaven, with my girl, my dog, and the strawberries and cherries. Thank you, Dave Matthews, and everyone in your band you are a master arranger.
Wow I never knew the whole show (sans Jimi) and soundcheck was filmed. Love seeing the solo Little Thing and Typical. The slow WWYS during the sound check was very cool and unique too. I had this on VHS as Crashing the Quarter years ago but it was just a portion of the whole show. Thanks for sharing!
Two Step is one of the greatest songs, ever played, live, by any band. For the longest time, I thought that the 1995 Red Rocks was the best version. Then, I heard New York Grand Central Park. It took almost two decades to top themselves. The Central Park Two Step was insane!
I am , New Orleans . This is home and these guys did us , no really , they layed it down and shamed the B team . Some of the A team shuddered at the thought of them coming back . What a fucking professionial band . DAYAHMMM !
Thanks for keeping this gem alive Chester! Brings back some great memories from the good ol' Napster days. All songs are amazing...I'm not sure if there's a better version of #36 out there--if so, I'd love to hear it.
Absolutely Beautiful. Thank You for posting this. God how I miss this period in time. It's so Clear and Outstanding. I envelopes me. I love it!. I NEED TO BE BY WATER TO HEAR THIS.
Thanks for putting this up. I worked at the State Palace Theater for a number of years during this period. I have worked so many memorable shows including this one. Robert and Brian Brunet had a great gig running this venue, too bad they got wrapped up with all of Disco Donnie's Rave fiasco.
Such a cool gift of you to give me, CB, this DMB concert, awesome. A much needed decompression session after a dubious day or two, love it. Cheers. Peace. Mike B.
So cool to see this. Reminds me of all the bootleg tapes I used to collect. The way they played Say Goodbye before it was released was probably my favorite song they ever did. The CD version disappointed me because it just wasn't the same.
I used to collect the tapes back then too. Maxwell xl2.. No tacking #. I couldn’t wait to get home a check the mail for a package.. hook a bro up on a blanks and postage lol. Good times
All I have been saying is this is The Original Dave Mathews band With Dynamics, Listen to The new Dave Mathews Band we have now sounds completely different!
I agree, 90s DMB sound is definitely different than current DMB. I personally loved just seeing the 5 of them jam out. Definitely miss the violin, which I believe they need to bring back!
25 plus years will change anything. There is a certain energy here that you don't get today. Today you get a slightly more polished version with Tim Reynolds pushing too much to the front sometimes. How many bands from the mid to early 90's aren't even around anymore. I've enjoyed the evolution of the band, and am glad I still have a chance to see them live with a different but the same level of energy.
There is one thing you can be sure of, DMB will give so much effort soul heart and in the end they enjoy itcas much as we do. Always had that feeling walking away at the end of a show or set. This is young DMB. They have been around you know. 7/5/2021 now. Wow. This is still so jammin shayit.
Im one of the lucky people where dave Matthews music is still fresh/new to me, (not including the hits, you know what i mean..everybody has heard crash,ants marching,etc..)
Yeah man the best days , and not just song wise but I honestly prefer the way his old songs sound played with his custom Chet . I don’t know I feel like the percussive style of his earlier (and imho greatest songs) simply sound better live with the Chet . I get that his dreads he uses now are technically much better sounding acoustic guitars and definitely are especially played unplugged but with the band and plugged in I prefer his custom modded chets MUCH better , it’s like those songs were meant to be played with the SST .
The Two Step from this show on DMB's channel is awfully strange - it's only 3 minutes 49 seconds long, many of the camera angles are different, and it is heavily chopped up with respect to the full version here, though the cuts are really smooth and I never noticed. I always figured they played a condensed arrangement for a promo show in support of the Crash album, but always wondered about the context behind that video so it's nice to see that there's an amazing looking pro-shot 96 video to come of it!
