Dave Matthews - May 27, 1996 - "Crash Into Me" & "Watchtower" [In-Studio] - Pinkpop - Landgraaf, NLD 

The 90's really did it culturally. The music, the movies, the internet. Everything kind of came together perfectly.

It’s so awesome to see someone doing exactly what they are meant to do.

My left hand is cramping up just watching this

I was in college from 01-05. Dave was huge. I remember going to frat parties and cover bands jamming the fuck out of ant marching. It was a wonderful time to be alive in US

This is what RU-vid is for! What a gem of a now classic song.

Even solo acoustic he is just transcendental.

This is an absolute GEM. Before the Interweb... Before social media... Raw, uncut, a man and his guitar 🤟🏻🙏🏻👊🏻

1996 was an awesome time to be alive!

I love how he is totally somewhere else when he plays. No audience, no cameras, no 300 thousand tv viewers, just Dave and his music.

I love how he gets lost in the music and flat out kills it. Most musicians wont/cant, do it like that in person. Story telling, Believability, Vocals, Guitar... 🔥

It’s like he almost leaves his body when he plays. Such a talent 🔥

Real talent. So authentic. He burst on the scene a long time ago and forged new ground; a rare thing indeed.

it’s insane to me that his speaking voice is so different when he’s this young but his singing voice is exactly the same and his latest stuff

The different way of looking at basic chords and finding unique substitutes is what gave his music such a unique originality along with his fascinating, intimate voice and lyrics. Glad we had people like him to enjoy growing up.

That stare from the host - bottle that and sell it to ward of Ghosts. Well done Dave - lovely song.

How great were the freakin 90’s!? Remember blasting this in my college dorm in ‘96-‘97. Great tunes, great friends, great times

I’m a metal head and seeing DMB play at SPAC in Upstate NY in the late 90s was the best show I’ve ever been to

Peak Dave Mathews, was fire. :) not many people can pull of what this man did :)

I can't with the radio host starring 🫣😂 Amazing how Dave could still escape to the world of emotion he portrayed as he played. 👌

I'm being a bit emotional but this is one artist who always transports me back to 2011, when life was much simpler and very very beautiful. His music reminds me that I can get those good times again some day.

What times these were. Brings a tear to my eye. Id give anything to go back. Make sure you take advantage of your young years people

Wtf did I just watch? That was amazing. That was the first time I watched Dave play on screen. Wow

What an absolute beast of a performer… Always rock-solid.

I LOVE me some 90's David Mathews - such a special time for music.........

I first saw DM at the intermission of a blues traveler show in 1993. Nobody in the audience had ever heard of him a d at first everyone completely ignored him. Figured he was some random who john popper owed a favor to. By the end of his first song the entire audience was back in front of the stage and totally rapt. By the end of his third song the whole crowd was blown away. We were all wondering who is this guy and why have we never heard of him?

I was in college 98’-02’. Great time to be in college and alive.

Wow this is incredible. It's original, beautiful, quirky. I didn't appreciate him back in the day. But he was and is a genius.

His hand movement is insane, I love Dave..so talented and his voice alone is an instrument and it never goes out of tune

Dave is a unique and talented writer/singer. Huge part of my life soundtrack. When you “get” his style,.. you can’t get enough. Thanks

His voice is the stuff of legends!

i was born on this exact day

I love how the host is acting like no big deal but kinda notices the greatness at the end!! He's front row to greatest raw talent EVER!!!

Dave matthews is all passion

Instantly beautiful as soon as he sings the first line

No matter how much I practice crash I still can’t stop my hand from cramping up. His chords are so complex.

I always loved Dave’s acoustic sets so much more than his studio stuff. Don’t get me wrong the studio stuff was amazing but the beauty of his singing and guitar playing can get lost. He’s such a force just with his guitar!

My husband and I have been fans of Dave ever since the album Under the Table and Dreaming came out in 1994. This performance occurred a week before my son was born. Hard to believe I've been a fan for over 26 years, and still love to hear him play. Long live DMB!

Talent is just oozing out of this guy every which way, so talented. Amazing. love this guy. Talent like this is fewer and fewer these days.

Holy hell. That was impressive. Who does this shit anymore?. Cannot believe how susceptible I am to nostalgia these days.

Copperpot- again with the coolest, rare Dave Matthews stuff. Thanks for the upload!

Say whatever you want about Dave, but this guy will never not be one with the music. Love DMB one of the best to ever do it

I passed out at the horde festival in 96 and woke up when a band id never heard of started in on two step. I thought the song was good but my college roommate was blown away and went to the DMB solo show at the gorge the next year and game back raving about it. From 98-2003 we got a huge group together and went to all the gorge shows…they still stick in my head 20 years later because the energy was so incredibly hopeful and positive.

Dave’s live acoustic stuff is my favorite

Dave is Awesome . Period . DMB is one of thee Greatest Bands Ever

Wish we still had musicians in America. Miss good music.

im a alt/hard rock/metal dude so i was brainwashed to hate this guy but hes crazy talented. I like what im hearing.

Damn this is incredible.

Dude is still a beast.

His music feels timeless.

Playing one verse turned into one incredibly, passion filled verse. Typical Dave, love it!

I wish I would have known about him back then, was only 13 at the time, only really discovered Dave in the last 10 years or so, went to my first show last week and it was amazing! Thankful he is still touring!

He makes my heart swell and burst with joy.

His lung capacity has increased so much! He's amazing and beautiful!

whew, ive been playing guitar about ten years and learned crash into me as soon as i heard the song, playing that lick over and over for the whole song really makes your hand ache! granted daves hands are a lot bigger than mine but its impressive how he can keep it up for so long.

God I love Dave. So lucky to be alive during his existence

That rage poster in the background is so dope ..!!

I remember pulling this off Napster and dubbed it to a VHS to show my girlfriend at the time.

What A brilliant rendition - what an exceptional singer - Wow Dave ( Amazing even without the full band ) ❤🎉🎉

True talent right here. Just amazing!

The talent just oozes out of Dave. Amazing what a gift

I've never seen the Dave Mittyews band before so this was nice

Just wrings out All Along the Watchtower off the cuff, like it's a simple practice exercise, ,and he fricking rocked it and put his signature vocal stamp on it. Dave's soul IS music!!!!!

The passion has always been unmatched. Such a cool upload I've never seen before

His chord voicings are awesome.

In this era of quick fix and spin on to the next file, it's great to sit transfixed and in awe of a brilliant performance and back for a second and third round. So perfect. the 90's hey? what a time to have gone through 🙂

I wish that I had seen this in 1998... best of times. Great memories . Thank you 😊❤️😘

Crash was the first song I ever played live. Looking back it was a tough choice and a song I still can't play well. I played it because I loved Dave so much. Don't listen to him much anymore but he's always there when I play live.

Absolutely phenomenal artist/musician. DM epitomizes artistic expression at the apogee of creativity.

He sounds better Iive than the studio versions and that what makes him SO special!! I went to see him 10 straight years from 1998-2008 to see him during and after my college years at the Gorge In Washington state!!

The most underrated guitarist ever

His synopsis of Crash Into Me 😂 K but watching him play this is 🤤 Really incredible talent!

Incredible...! Love the music and the man...💯

Got to see the boys and band this last year. He didn't play this song and respected that. They killed it

This song was pretty big in its day, but the acoustic versions are really nice to hear again

Wow, what a flashback! Used to go to JMU and drive to Charlotte to see them PLAY!!! Makes me feel young and free😂 Thank you Band PEACE AND POWER FAMILY❤️✨

Soul connection... seen him perform huge venues and his band is tight.

CRASH INTO ME (LIVE) Man too excellent. The passion...

The whole world must know of this.

He's a genius. Brilliant mind. Handsome man.

he always brings me to the edge of crying. i dont feel like wiping my face off so i hold it in haha

Matthews has the most instrumental voice i have ever heard. 🕊💟🕊

Amazing musician and song. Added to my favorite song list on my channel. LOVE this! New sub.

This album dropped around Christmas time of 96, if I remember right. Playing Crash before it dropped... Pretty cool

I remember my first concert ever was DMB at Saratoga Performing Arts Center in the late 90s and it still goes down as the best concert I’ve ever been to in my life

He makes it look effortless!

😂 his voice is extra dave matthewsy in this clip isnt it

Take me back to the 90s please. I had high hopes for the 2000s + but it's not working out :-/ lol.

He had a unique sound that was immediately recognizable and energy to spare.

I love when the presenter speaks dutch and Dave understands him. His South African roots coming out.

He emulates the trumpet solo with his voice.

great david john matthews may 27, 1996 interview !!!

Brings back some memories. Also, all of those posters behind the host are awesome. Reminds me of my dorm room back in '95.

I played a Lakewood guitar like this and I was impressed

So great ❤

What a lovely guitar

“Thank you dude that was nice” No. That was one of the greatest songs ever written.

This song and his voice is incredible

And he is now worth 300 million dollars + pretty insane!

I can't believe this song is over 9,520 days old!!

Dave is SO AWESOME 🎉
