Ant's Marching is just one of the most incredible songs of all time, when it comes to the experience of live performances! To listen to such a combination of instruments, being mashed up together.. it just reaches a higher level all-together, and gives an indescribable feeling! And I remember when DMB was in Denmark.. The second the band went quiet, and let the crowd sing along, that exact moment was just priceless!
i remember watching this on tv so long ago. it was me and my older bro. except at the time this concert was on i was like 1 lol. but i remember it for some odd reason, they must have reshowed it sometime after, but anyways dave has always been in my life, even b4 i was born. and his music will stay in my life until the day i die
DMB has so many incredible songs and this isn't my particularly favorite DMB song but this might be one of the best "concert songs" of all time....;;love it!
My dad has played drums for 30 years, and is not a Dave fan, but still says Carter is the best drummer that he has ever heard, so I have to agree with everyone.........
@Cappadoccia04 no, they're live stuff is really different from the studio versions that you hear on the radio. This video has an introduction over 2 mins long that the studio version doesnt
well ok, now I know! Always liked DMB, never really looked into it though (m'own damfault)...until now. Have viewed most Beauford vids I could find. Plays as well as Peart from Rush (sick!). Great drummer!!
This is how i wish Sexton still sounded like...IMHO...Drummers alike all liked his sound lighter and more crisp than heavier with more "body" on the snare. Sexton still rules but the overall popping snare, hi hat work, always has turned my head with a smile.
i love how they just LOVE to play, it doesnt seem like its about money or anything, just jammin, that why bands like rush stay together for 35 years, i wonder what they will do now tho w/o leroi, he is irreplaceable, i hope they keep playing tho
A young DMB here, who has ONLY gotten better & better over the years - that's NOT saying that they didn't sound good here because they sound AWESOME, it's just saying over time they've increased even more whereas some bands over time, lose a bit of that special "thing" that got them there in the 1st place, I believe there called 1 hit wonders? DMB, NO! There are almost to many DMB hits to count & though I'm going to miss Leroi like every other DMB fan he'll always be w/ them & w/ us - DMB fans
If you watch really close, you can see the stick break first, he hits the snare one more time with the broken stick and then throws it out and hits the next beat with a new stick.
@dblamp1 First off, two completely different styles. Neil Peart will never be able to groove like Carter Beauford, he just doesn't those kinds of chops or that much feeling, but he may, or may not, be more technical than him. As a drummer, though, and having studied music and heard a ton of great drummers, I would say the best drummer in the world is either Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Weckl, or Dennis Chambers, based on their ability to do anything and everything on the drum set, and play any style.
