Dave Matthews Band on CBS Sunday Morning News (May 31, 2009) 

"I think ya know the fact that we're gonna die is a pretty good reason to stop complaining.."--Dave Matthews I love that quote from this piece

Sitting here with tears in my eyes. Sometimes you just love, and you don't question why? You just feel it, and it is real.

Welp after 14 years of listening to the band and being to countless shows I have to say that I am truly grateful that they did not split......There recent shows are some of the best I have ever heard....I hope that they continue to rock out for another 20!

Best fucking band EVER. This segment is fantastic.

SO much love for the best band in the United States..... They have made more money than the beatles . People forget that the beatles were only together for 6 years... dmb is pushing 20 years.... pretty frickin amazing. And still rocking just as hard!!!!!!

thank you for posting this, i live in Germany and don't have access to a lot of american television, DMB is my favorite band for 13 years.

i love this band, i love these guys (even the unmentioned- Tim, Butch, Coffin and, the horn player who's name escapes me. they all add such lovely vibes to the collective!) Bravo. sooo thankful that they are still out there. DMB for Life!

God is watching this band! Love them & hope they keep going for many years!

Beauford is so charismatic.

I'm glad i saw this.I learned a lot about them. Their awesome!

RIP Leroi... Dave Matthews Band is probably the best band....ever....EVER

I was at work when this aired today, my wife was holding the phone to the tv for me. Thank you for letting me see it!!!

"Yeah, it's good to be a little strange" - Amen, Dave!!

They are all insanely good musicians that could stand on their own independently if they wanted too. I'm guessing the fact that they didn't necessarily NEED each other in order to continue their music careers played a role in their bitterness. Dave said, "It's impossible to lead this group of people..." which to me is a compliment to his band mates. They all stand on equal footing but without a leader, progress can sometimes be a problem.

No problem. I've been a fan since '95 and have seen a lot of interviews, inside looks, etc.. This one was extremely polished and let the fans take a look at their personal experience with the band's evolution and reaction to LeRoi that was otherwise kept private.

Truly Amazing they are!

I remember following Dave on twitter some months back. He tweeted saying he had to write a letter about a friend. Who knew that he was really writing letters to his friends. I'm so glad they resolved their stuff. Family is so important. When you've been together this long you're not just friends anymore...you've become so much more.

So much love for DMB!

Thanks again for this post mate.. I´m from Argentina. Lot´s of people are fans here.. also my favourite band!

Thanks for posting this I enjoy learning more & more about DMB - 1 thing is forsure out of this though, I'm glad DMB didn't break up! I like all DMB fans miss Leroi & they won't be the same w/out him but that doesn't mean they can't still be as great as before, they'll make some changes here & there and they'll still be 1 AWESOME band!

dave matthews band is as modern as folk can be without electronic instrumentation

Thank you for posting this! I did watch it but I very much enjoyed watching it again :)

Thanks for posting this. Didn't catch it this morning.

Can't wait to hear what this performer creates next

this just blew me away..

Your new album Rocks! Can't wait to see you at the Gorge!

Now 3 decades

holy shit i was at both of those concerts in c'ville! c'ville, dmb, and uva are my homes.... peace. love. dmb.

thanks for posting!! i was really disappointed this a.m. when our local cbs affiliate was running a telethon instead of regularly scheduled programming.

Thanks so much for posting this.

ITS GOOD TO BE A LITTLE STRANGE he says ...of course its does him well i hear .Keep it up Dave

And now they are three.

to the NEXT 20 years DMB !!!

Doh! Thanks for catching that.

good music...good memories...

I love hearing Stefan talk.

Formed in Charlottesville, VA woohoo love me some DMB

I was working at the elementary school library-Had my DMB shirt on & this girl ask me who are they? I said Dave Matthews Band-They've been together long than you've been alive! The girl looked at the librarian (Who I went to H.S. with) & the librarian shook her head yes then the girl said to me your strange- I'd already seen this before so I said just like Dave-Thank you cuz guess what? It's good to be a little strange!

Inner strife? They give away hints of it in many of their live videos. But I couldn't tell to the degree it was happening. All in all I think these guys were really hurt by the lost their brother LeRoi. I think they reacted the same as families who love another by coming together, reaffirming their appreciation for each other and becoming even closer. "Hey guys, your love for each other shows."

Wow

"It's good to be a little strange"

The band has not been nor sounded the same since LeRoi died.

Definitely thanks for posting. You should change your description and put in the proper album title, though... It's not "The Whiskey King...", It's "Big Whiskey..."

There is zero mention of Peter Greisar, he was an original member of the band.

always wanted to know what happened to him to pass so fast .

Miller's didn't exist in 1991-92. It was Trax in Charlottesville and The Flood Zone in Richmond VA that DMB played at every Tuesday and Wednesday night respectively for months. I lived it...

DMB, a great form of punishment if you have to listen to them.

It`z GOOD 2 be Strange

It’s sad how this album didn’t translate with fans the way the band intended it to.

It's called Sister

Mediocre? I don't think so, son. I argue that this band is the most musical group of our time. Spend some time out in reality vs. You-Tube-verse, you dig?

yep

Whats that song called at 3:00 ???????

Man why watch this and then be negative. Mostly people know and admire dmb's successes. But then there are idiots who just hate him because one they have notions of the band as a college frat music, or a band people go see to get drunk. It bothers me so much because to deny his ability to get rich in a dying music market is like denying Apple ability in reinventing smart phones, smart watches everything Apple has achieved in a down economy is similar to dmb's rise. They saw the future of music and responded accordingly. Now everyone follows with concert movies and tours because they no longer can rely on record sales, actually Dave Matthews band could. Consider the fact hat everyone of their studio albums went to number one. Breaking the record and consider that does not include crash or under the table. They have five live albums that went platinum and every year they are the touring acts. He is the 9th richest front man ahead of everyone's favorite Springsteen and the man everywhere Dave grohl. So those who take time to tear down Dave Matthews band I wonder why. Spin mag in 1999 that Dave wa new king of rock. And they were right since the release of before these crowded streets which sung titantic's run at number one, Dave Matthews has been the most successful rockstar of the decade. He sold most tickets made most money and did this all while being voted the nicest man in music. So watch this video comment on it and take time tearing him down, why because you were not invited to go as a kid. If his music was just for frat boys and party goers why has fan base stayed steady. Kant argued it is pointless to argue tastes. Dave Matthews to me is the most unique band of my time, and has great meaningful lyrics. I don't care for radiohead like I once did. But I don't deny the are great at what they do. I hate Mary j. Bilge but respect her achievements and I don't consider Celine Dione a true musician but I have to say she can sing. So my suggestion to dmb's haters, stop caring. Nothing to gain and Dave Matthews no matter what happens in future will always be honored and remembered. This is long post and wasting my time now but not anymore. He is great in my option and to have made half a billion dollars selling nearly 12 million tickets in just one decade, is incredible. I love pearl jam but they have been more irrelevant than Dave Matthews since their third album. But since Jeremy video, versus, and ten they have Ben given a pass. No one kills Eddie vetter when he sings live. Pearl jam nirvana might be icons but dmb's has trumped their achievements. If one argues pearl jam and ticketmaster that was their choice. Those medal heads metalicca cost me napster Dave Matthews embraced. He had a whole cd stolen that was still being worked leaked, he didn't join law suit. So these bands dmb's so called contemparies made choices. Elvis made a choice, dmb because of sound business is richer than most. Actually all but nine and none of those front men ahead are as young as Matthews. 20 years is long but Paul McCartney has been doing it for 50 years along with jagger. I know I made mistakes typing this and to the haters of dmb the ones who will attack me. Remember I'm defending something I love. And although you are entitled to your opinion maybe instead of hating on dmb you can find a band that moves you like they move me. Go pick nickelback or foo fighters both are good but don't spend your time tearing down millions of people's idol. 23 years and so tired of life, what a shame to throw it all away hating on a band, that plays music. Music is the most taste filled industry but I don't troll sites to be mean, and that is throwing it all away.

@bowflexor repunel

@bowflexor lying in the hands of god from their new album

Lol. They copied Phish's Barn in regards to their recording studio in the woods, and Dave with his "letter" is exactly what Trey did 5 years earlier. Hmmmmmmmmm

I've never understood why this stupid band is so well loved. Then you see the fans and understand - the same people that watched Friends.

*Idolatry*

Dave is worth 250 million dollars shitty rappers or even great rappers don't his in the 1 percent ranked eighth of lead singers

Such a bad album
