This is one of my favorite songs on the planet just because of the raw emotion you hear in his voice. That yell is fucking cazy, and I used to be a metal head.
@Fatgocks I hope you're being sarcastic. "YOUR LOVE IS HELL, YOUR LOVE IS HELL, YOUR LOVE IS HELL!!!!!!!" "WHY DO YOU COME AROUND ME?? WHY DO YOU CLIMB INTO MY FUCKING TREE???!!!!!" Groovy wedding tune , dude.
Yeah but this is why he doesn't sound as decent as he could these days unfortunately. If he had learned some proper vocal techniques for this song, his vocal stamina would be so much better today. What a banger though
@@SammyMakepeace He's getting old, without any vocal assistance program behind the scene, there is no way a man on his 50's could sing the way he did at his prime.
This is why i love all dave matthews bands live albums, they never play a song exactly the same twice. One of the rare bands where thier live performance is way better then thier studio stuff.
I would say they're better live than everything they've put out since Under the Table and Dreaming, but those first few albums are some of the best albums I've ever heard. Just perfection and amazing production on every song. When they came out with the album with Grey Street and Everyday on it (the name of the album is eluding me) they had lost that spark. Still love em but the cds arent as good anymore. The music itself is still amazing live though
I think the somewhat “over produced” nature of the studio version saps the power this song has. Live versions have always had so much power behind them. The studio cut has barely a fraction of the bite any live version has
I was at the show, and being the greedy little pig I was I was a little disappointed in the set list so far. It's fucking Sunday at the Gorge, it's dmb, on Sunday, they go out with a bang goddammit. After they finish with The Space Between (My least favorite song), I was perturbed, fuck these guys they're mailing it in.. Then... They play Seek Up (My favorite song) and the rest of the set is the best ever. Best encore. Sweetest Long Black Veil with just Dave n Roi. Fucking Halloween after a 3 year absence. Everyone shit themselves after they realized it was Halloween. Damn that was a long time ago, what a fucking memory.
One of the absolute best out touring.. they all are so skilled at their respected instrument. Boyd on the electric violin.. such a professional group. Not enough appreciation for the level of excellence they uphold.
Ezra Berry As I’m sure you know, Boyd is no longer with the band. In my opinion his absence is definitely felt in their sound live. He brought even more energy to crowd with his solos. He needs to be replaced in my opinion.
What a find and precious memory! I had a drum solo sign all weekend and finally night 3 Carter points at me and shakes his head, then goes into an amazing drum solo > Halloween, then stands up and tosses me the stick he used!!!! I can also see myself with the bright orange glowstick 😀
among drummers, Beauford is very highly regarded as one of the smoothest and most natural players ever. personally, he is one of my favorites not only because he's an incredible drummer, but also that he looks like hes having the the most fun he's ever had, every time.
@grgemclr1992 I have to agree. Its a dark song admittedly, but the energy that courses through the place when this song goes off is godly. They played it for the encore on the third night at the gorge recently. I had the pleasure of letting DMB pound my soul into nothing with the pure energy they summoned with this song. Fucking unbelievable
@grgemclr1992 thanks a lot for that great answer. yeah i was at that show to. i was there the whole weekend. my favorite night was actually night two. but night three was a very very close second.
@ Preston Smith - WTF are you talking about? lt's only the lighting and the angle of that particular shot @ 2:14 that are different, but that's *definitely* Carter playing 100% and no one else.
@IWantDaveKast For me it's because Halloween is a song with such strong, raw, pure emotion. I know people who have gone to around 15 shows and have still never seen Halloween. I was lucky enough to see it the first time I saw dave, even though I had been a fan for a long time, and I knew all of his music, live and studio, so I didn't lose my appreciation for it's rarity and emotion. It was at Bader Field this summer, the whole place went crazy after the Ants fake
What year was this? Tryna figure if it was one of the years I was there! ☺️ Best concert venue/experience of my life!! The Gorge is effing gorgeous! So. Many. Stars. Whatever year I was there, I saw them in Portland a few days before too. ♥️
this is during the encore..so sometimes not the whole band will play songs..most the time dave will just do a solo then the rest of the band will come out to finish the show...you can see the rest of the band join the 3 after the song
I've been to a few DMB shows before and noticed the same thing. It's usually when Dave does a scream or a yell while he holds a note, people go nuts for it.
