Dave Matthews Band - Cortez, The Killer (from The Central Park Concert) 

Me! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ I listened to DMB since 1991. HOW could this be? Love Crosover-Prog-Surprise-Rock-Singer-Songwriter-Music. Should I say, since DMB? Yes. BUT, can’t believe anybody, first of all me, DMB is full of my playlists, but in the meantime I was so familiar (but listening to Neal Morse and really good stuff) I found out DMB is touring … Germany! But it’s gone. I have absolut no idea why. I never seen DMB, just always listened to it. Why????? Yesterday I felled into the Central Park concert, and all the other outstanding live appearances. Unbelievably amazed am I. IT‘s Deserved Masterpieces Believe it (DMB) 🤦‍♂️🤣 and listen to it, feel it and cry for joy. What a hidden story between DMB me … and I. 😅 Sorry! I even thought of driving to Brussels to 1. May 2024. Too far for money and time table. Just bought the live recordings. Party here. Please celebrate and party there. Hope there will be a Bluray some day …

This guy!!!

Me !!!!!

o/

Me too

Carter wishing he would have teamed up with Haynes instead of DMB.

I agree 1000%!

​​​@@strikerj4810 More like DMB wishing they could have teamed up with Warren Haynes rather than Tim Reynolds.

My favorite part is around 7:25 where it looks like Dave is saying "badass" to Carter.

@@delataylor "He's bad".

❤️☮️🗽🎉

I play drum , i'm a drum guy , but my favorite Pink Floyd album is Animals because of the genuis guitar play of Gilmore along those songs....i've never eard of Warren Hayes before , i ran on that song hazardly a few weeks ago ....i knew about the Allemand brothers , a few songs but not much.... i,m 55 those are my years of connecting wth music ...the man is simply ''off the charts'' he is, from my opinion one of the , if not THE most incredible guitar player i've ever seen

WELL SAID! 💋

Need to shrink my favorites list so this comes up more often...

💯 Thank you.

I agree....if u haven't done it...make your way to the Gorge on labor Dave weekend...its always epic...have seen Warren do Cotez 4 times there...amazing...mesmerizing.....hypnotic....that guitar sings...its awesome !

I’ve realized that ever time Warren Haynes is a ‘guest’ at someone’s performance, it adds a new dimension to the music in a fabulous way! He has the ability to make a good or great song absolutely amazing imo❗️👍 This is just one example!

@@elainemeyer5062well said.. I hope to see him live… life is too short

@@stevetrivago 👍 Absolutely agree with both your points - seeing a live performance AND life being too short! ‘Gotta take one day at a time and live it like it’s going to be your last imo (as an almost 70 yr old)!

Trent sed it. Sometimes, a song gets covered, a song isn't yours anymore. Respect, but gd

Thats true, best Neil Young sog IMO

True that brother/ sister. May our heavenly Father hold you in his palm forever 💕

@@Bellathebear777that’s prob not it for this crowd bruh. We free thinkers here.

Neil has stated he wrote this song as a teenager while in high school.

I just said the same thing. Maybe better though.

Nahh. Definitely better

Don't know if I can go that far as comfortably numb is my fave solo ever but when my buddy sent me this and asked what I thought of the guitarist. I was like holy shit. This guy has phenomenal sound. Well done warren and DMB this song is amazing

@@jeffb8562 not better… but close ☺️

@@jeffb8562 you need to go re-watch pulses comfortably numb. It's not even close at the end of the day. Similar, but gilmours is still better.

Found this song maybe 2 months ago i think ive listened maybe 1000 times as well 😭

This concert is perfection

I listen to it at least once a day as loud as the bose buds allow me to. Just doesn't get any better man

i agree

You need to definetely listen to the 17 minutes version they did in 2018. I believe it might top this one

Well it is nice to see this band play some lead guitar work once in a while, otherwise I wasn't crazy about their style. Too much fiddle and sax for my tastes.

I think the guitar playing is phenomenal but the song itself is kind of boring..meh! maybe it's me but I just don't give that much of a shit about how Cortez brutalized or whatever the South American Indians. If it wasn't for Cortez those people would still be living in mud huts and doing human sacrifices to the gods. All of that bs about how the Spanish killed the Aztecs is just the natural cycle of things on this planet. I don't really give a fk about ancient history I live for today and I'm not a Neil Young fan, he's an arrogant liberal douchebag!

@@florinbucur145just listened to the 17min version. It was good. Warren really jams. This is still my favorite. They are just FEELING it here. Thanks for recommending the other one. I didn’t know about it

Dave actually forgets to jump back in and sing his portion of the remainder he's so enthralled by his playing.

Amen brother!

Seen the same. Lost his jump

Agree..

F’ing great. An excellent rendition of a great NY tune. He is proud to hear this!!!

Id put him up there with the top he's absolutely breath taking live

Warren is so underrated, ABB, Gov. Mule, DAC, legendary!!!

Shadow Thomas you been to SPAC to see them I’m guessing? One of my favorite times going to see them there

Word👍🏿bro !!!!!we in the same boat!!!Binghamton !!!!!!!!

Eastern PA fam! I was a young one and didn’t know Dave and his breathtaking art back then. If I were 23 back then I would have without a doubt been front and center. This concert is IMO one of the greatest concerts of all time and should be talked about as such

Spread it, Thomas

This is timeless. Warren can kick the heck out of a guitar.

Same here 💗

I'm like you my friend, I can't stay away from this one. I keep listening to it over and over. It makes me feel so alive at 70 and I really dig it so much. It's just spell binding the whole thing. I like every version but I love the 19 minute one the best and I like it loud on my big speakers. Dave Matthew's and Warren Hayes plus the whole entire band is incredible.

@@mikerobardey7573 I live in Ukraine and when the air raid sirens go off, I play this and wind up the volume until it drowns them out. :)

From , Asheville NC

I'm from rootn toot N Newton....I raise maters taters and hell!!!!00Great band....

Neil Young is a legend!!

High as fuck on hash oil!

Kevin Diluzio you must be looking for some Widespread Panic.

You aint talkin to me boi!!

@@deboseajones5258 I am..❤️☮️🗽

My favorite line in this classic Neil Young song

A M E N just like Everything the past was better

Me too. I think I will, tonight at least.

Me too!

Agree

Definitely among my all time favorite songs by DMB

This was my happy place. 17 years ago sparking a J on the great lawn and listening to DMB and Warren play. What a memory.

And the space between

@@jimbeaux89 it’s originally by Neil young

Exactly

But 600k!!!with great taste and a little bit of knowledge on history!!!

I’ve seen it many times; if that makes you feel better

If you don't feel this, I can't do nothing fo you man.

Sweet Jeseus.

yessir. it looks like he says "that's badass" and it is.

He’s the man. Or that’s bad ass. Either way, both are true…

It looks like he says " he's bad". Warren is a beast.

"This man..." *shakes head in awe*

His mad

To be precise, at 2:56.

Hahahahahaha

You guys are pigs!!! But yeah.

and I find myself here, again...

Me too lol

True master guitar. Love this .

Been there done that. 4 times one night a long time ago!!

Go see DMB at Gorge....its life changing for sure.

One of my favorite little background things ever...and prior to that he is so locked into what Warren's doing, staring with intensity

Also, it's at 7:27ish and he looks to be saying, "that's bad ass"...imho

​@mle1ravens1 he shakes his head and says 'he's bad". No truer words have ever been spoken

You mind mentioning the other versions you like ?

Whos the long hair guy again

@@averycollins4581 well, NY/Crazy Horse to name the original. There have been others…

@@susanwesolowski6710 his name is Warren Haynes, longtime member of the Allman Brothers, and founded the band Government Mule, also payed with The Dead, post Jerry Garcia….

@@averycollins4581 Neil was very fickle as a player. Some nights were far and above others? All depended on Neil, and his mood.

Yes

yeah, thats some cool shit

@@twst1 sure was. What a beautiful moment in time.

sooooo so bad :D #TrulyEpic #OutOfThisWorld

i'm not a lip reader but he also could have said "he's amazing" ????

Warren Haynes baby!

I get lost in Warren Haynes Les Paul in this rendition...it's incredible, or as Dave said to his bandmate somewhere around the 7:25ish mark, "that's bad ass".

Took it a notch higher than Neil

I remember when this happened, it actually was a free concert for the people. That's all the good Dave does with heart, such a decent human being.

❤️☮️🗽🎉

@@sandrabehrle-liebsher4805 ❤️☮️🗽🎉

The dvd they made from this show has Cortez the Killer and All along the Watchtower back to back. I’m sure that’s what he means, it was an epic 19 minutes

YES!!!!! IVE BEEN DOWN FOR 5 DAYS! I TRIED GRACE POTTER ABD SATRIANI WHICH IS IMMACULATE...THEN THE OG...BUT THIS ONE DID IT BESTBFORBM TODAY. POSSIBLY THE 17 YEARS OF LOVE FOR DAVE MATHEWS BAND BIASED MY OPINION. OR MORESO MAYBE COTEZ REMINDS ME 10000% of her. All in all they prolly killed close to the same amount

Best kind of music

J Mascis topped this version

I am 71 and still listen to it at least once a week. :)

You're kidding right? It's a good cover, but the original has so much more soul.

Fuck yes sir!!!! but No One does it quite like Uncle Neil ... Ive seen it .. i was destroyed ... cortez hit and i shit you not 100 percent sober !!! mind blowing breath taking ... life changing but DMB KILLED IT for sure

Cortez is a great track, and there are great covers of it from bands such as slint and built to spill, this is not one of them

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I like this one the best. Better than the original and better than the other versions, dmb’s others included.

@@eightytwo8282 How come?

Yea...i was laughing my ass off.

He said "Amazing" without doubts!!!! ✌️✌️✌️

Simon Mls “he’s bad” as in he’s a bad man.

Well done I absolutely adore your deeply talented ability to paint a master piece in words!wish I could.

Agreed!😎

I love that too! Couldn't figure out exactly what he said (thanks) but with that look I already knew what he meant!

You got me there. Simply amazing best guitar player ever

Very cool...pure talent from both of em💙🎶

Couldn't have said it better myself

Very interesting Chris

Dave said "damn" during Warren's jam

Scott Mollan for sure. Dave plays his rhythm guitar is a super percussive way, and Carter is just amazing let’s me honest. He is the best part fo DMB

He does everytime he plays with Gov't Mule.

they lucked out so lucky

Was at this show. Absolutely incredible...couldn’t help but look in Awww ..absolutely mesmerizing

It was a free concert too

@J. R. H. that's good but this is my favorite. Neil young is so close to this
