[Upgrade] - Dave Matthews Driven Documentary - (Biography) - (Early Life) - ( DMB History ) - (2004) 

This band finally (in 2022) drew my currently 13 yr old sons into music. We’ve got a boys trip planned to The Gorge to celebrate their 14th. Can’t wait!!

At the humble age of 23, I can now say that I've been listening to DMB for 10 years now. Thank you big sis!

I was 29 and driving to work the first time I heard DMB on the radio. I was mesmerized by the voice, the unique mix of instruments and I just felt it in a way that's hard to describe. I was an instant fan of this band. I left work when the stores opened each time a new album dropped. Attended every concert in the DFW area and it was my son's first concert when he was 13. I'm 55 now and still adore this band. I think they'll forever be my favorite.

This band saved my life. Honestly. Forever grateful and listen to them daily. Thank you for the vid!!! Explains so much.

Thumbs up if you're going to see DMB in 2022!! This band brought about my love for music especially playing guitar. I'll never forget my buddy Josh Sack (rip) telling me to go out and get UTTAD back in 1994. Almost 30 years and over a hundred shows later, this band's music still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. And seeing them after being locked down/covid makes each show that much sweeter. I hope they tour forever!!!!

No wonder Dave Matthews band had their own sound I didn't know he grew up in South Africa now that I know that you can hear it in his music a little

Just makes me appreciate the band and Dave even more, l have been listening to the Dave Matthews Band for over 25 years now and love every song. My Wife surprised me with Tickets to one of his shows and blew her Mind when we got there. She looked at me and said l finally understand what you have been talking about, Dave Matthews has the voice and energy to get your emotions with your good times, your bad times, and the messed up things you've done in you're life, all in a song. Carter Beauford just is an outstanding drummer, and matching with Dave singing, it's just crazy to think that what they all started is still just as good and don't give in to mainstream media. The Dave Matthews Band is and forever will be cherished in my heart, from the first time l heard them, until the last time I hear them that sound they have is BEAUTIFUL

The world is a much better place with Dave.

My sister in law dated Dave while he went to school in Yorktown Heights NY.They still stay in touch! That explains who he truly is.

If my memory is correct, I first saw DMB on a Friday night at Trax when they opened for the Smithereens. Had never heard or heard of DMB. As I was walking in I heard them playing from outside and I was immediately blown away or entranced. I stood watching the rest of their show in awe. Never heard a band groove like them…except maybe the very early Beatles. After the Smithereens came on, I watched about three songs and left…what was the point? The next day as I was working at a local car dealer some guys came in the buy a car and I started telling them about this amazing band I saw the night before. Turned out, one of the guys was close to or worked with DMB. When they played the Bayou in Georgetown, I invited music friends to go along. I’d been to the Bayou a hundred times…that was the most packed I had ever seen it. Next time and last time I saw them was probably in 96 or 97 at the Nissan Pavilion in Gainsville. Great show! I routinely get through Batesville and sometimes walk dogs there with my daughter and I point out to her the field where DMB played one of their early shows. Last time I checked there’s still a stage in that field…wonder if it’s the same one they played on. That’s my DMB story.

I was lucky enough to be a college student at UVA in Charlottesville Virginia from 1990 to 1994 and got to see Dave pretty much any Tuesday night I wanted to early on at a nightclub called Traxx. Somewhere in my stuff, I have a copy of Remember Two Things with the stereogram sleeve. Best of times

I'm so happy to have found DMB. Been a fan for a bit over a year. I'm seeing them as part of my graduation gift in just a couple of days.

I remember watching this when it came out. First and still One of the few inside looks at Dave and the band. Really helps understand Dave's motivation, song lyrics and even his political views. It's a must watch for any DMB fan.

Thank you for this and many other content you’ve been posting!!

I remember recording this on vhs. I can almost quote this word for word!

God how I loved this band- still do, all these years later. Cannot wait to see them in Denver!

Nice video. Thx for the upload. Enjoyed every minute. Dave is a poet, a artist and a lover of genius. With the dawn of a new age we are blessed to experience his wit and genuine sarcasm in an altogether beautiful canyon of our minds eye. I’m glad I’m here to experience it no matter what.

Awesome. Thank you for posting this.

Just spent the morning watching this with a cup of coffee. Learned some new things. Didn’t realize RCA took photos and recorded the band in an attempt to sell their offer to the band. Very interesting.

Best jam band ever!! I've been lucky enough to see them live 16 times. Joined the fan club in 1997. Good music is good music. So grateful for the music they have created.

I’ve been listening to Dave since 2001, when I was in 7th grade. I’ll always remember my dad and sister blasting under the table, crash and before these crowded streets. DMB was part of the reason that I got into drums and I’m still playing to this day at the age of 34

WOW, I learned so much from this biography. Thank you for sharing it with me. I love Dave Matthews and always will. Do much talent. XO XO ❤️❤️ Samantha

I loved Under the Table and Dreaming. 10 years later I had the fantastic experience of working for these artists- DMB cares about people- every fan, every human working to make every show happen. If I were to describe the band in 2 words I would say GENIUNE and TALENTED. Truly amazing.

Fell in love with his music since Under the Table and Dreaming came out in 94, one of my all time favorite bands!

Pretty crazy all the great songs that were written before they were even signed with a label

Thanks for sharing this video, I hadn't ever seen it. I still remember the day I first heard them in the early 90's. Satellite came on the radio in my bedroom as a teen, I was hooked from that moment on.

God, I wasn't sure I could love and appreciate Dave and the band any more than I already do, but this did it. Great documentary on a real, genuine, incredibly talented, and overall good person.

I remember seeing the band play in 91 or so at a frat house in Charlottesville, after listening to my roommates tapes the previous summer in Nags Head. I wasn't sure it was my kind of music, but I remember turning to my girlfriend and saying, these guys are going to be famous. They were so tight and original.

I'm so thankful for DMB. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing the first time I heard them. I have been a huge fan ever since. The music just makes me happy. Such a unique, talented band. It would be so had to pick a a favorite song. But my favorite concert would be Listener Supported hands down. I just love all the members.

Live at Luther College is still probably one of the greatest live albums…

Crash is a song I could listen to a millions times n fall in love each time, such a great 1

I still have the original Crash CD. Love DMB!

Still makes me feel wondering when I heard them for the first time at 2003. Makes the music like a path. Life is amazing. Dave's Band makes it a little bit conforfatble listen good songs through troubles.

This is a band's band! Skilled musicians, a great catalog of songs, and a frontman who is among the ranks of great composers.

I remember exactly where I was when I first heard the Dave Matthew’s Band! Fell immediately in love!

He was born with a gift... I absolutely love Dave.

First time I heard DMB was on a radio promo cassette that one of my friends was just given by a dude who worked at a station here in Norway. I think they were just giving away tapes that they weren't going to play, stuff that didn't fit what the station was doing. Anyways, I listened to that tape over and over and over and over for weeks. It was the Under the Table and Dreaming radio promo tape. I had just started playing drums, and Carter instantly became my favorite drummer. The stuff he was doing with the hi hat was so inspiring to me. I'd never heard anyone use a hi hat like that.. It was always just ticking away quarters or 8th notes in 99% of the music I listened to, and here comes Carter just doing NONE of that. The songs themselves were also unlike anything I'd ever heard. It was truly different. This must have been around 94-95 I think. Been a fan ever since. Never seen them live, they're one of the very few bands that make me wish I had the mental fortitude to deal with large crowds. I've seen so many live videos, and they're so god damn amazing live it's crazy.

I'm glad i came across this. I've been to many of his concerts. But, i did not know anything about his life

Two ways having a kid with talent and musical ambitions can go. You can support it like they did and you get Dave. Or like my parents who refuse to care or acknowledge it to this day 40 years later. So I’m a bed room guitarist / drummer / piano player. Support your kids it’s worth it.

Discovered DMB in 95, saw DMB at Rock in Rio 15 years after.. loved every movement and every song all the way .. still loving it!

I just love Dave Matthews and the band! They are giants, all my respect! 🤟🏻🤟🏻

So grateful to live in Wa state and see this band at the Gorge amphitheater more than not ! It’s a spiritual experience

Well ill say this again i really wish i can watch them live just for once in my lifetime

Saw Dave in Lexington KY in 98 my sr year in HS. 25 years later and 20 + shows later I’m hooked more than ever. I love DMB!!! Their band put an imprint in my life in a lot of ways more when I was alone just swimming in my thoughts with DMB and I came out stronger more refreshed - thanks

Dave reminds me of the actor Ray Liotta, especially when he smiles. Has a very unique songwriting style, distinguishable voice, and knows how to choose just the right musicians to convey exactly what he wants to say. Much to be admired here.

Never seen this one before, this is great

I love to see Trey give his opinions about Dave. Because the way their fans go at each other is pretty funny.

I got to see DMB at Trax back in 1992 when I was on the road with a band. We'd been in clubs up and down the east coast and to see a band sell out a venue on a Tuesday night, it was obvious they were gonna be huge.

I remember had an acquaintance at NIU (Northern Illinois University) that loved the DMB. I, personally, have never been to a show, but I've been a fan for over 20 years.

The best band of all time

Just saw them last weekend in Mountain View, Ca 🏄‍♂️🤠🏌🏻‍♂️👊🌎🌎🌎❤️❤️❤️

I’m currently having a love affair with DMB and this was amazing to see … how they started and listening to all of the commentary, I loved it! I don’t know why it took me so long to find out how amazing they are but I’m so happy that I did.

Thanks, Jason

This is cool, I remember my band playing a frat party and it was one of those all day all night bangers. We had played at like midnight and everybody was going crazy buzzing about this band that played earlier in the day call Dave Matthews. They just came in rock the house down and left to the next gig. The Next year they were huge

Great Stuff!

I discovered Dave just as I was about to throw my hands up in dismay with current music scene. Thanks for your thoughtful tunes. Love these guys. Too bad I live in the middle of nowhere. I’ll never get to see them play live, unless they come to the Kootenays in BC. Hint, hint🙏.

Honestly crying- I've never seen this before- day made!!!

This is a great band. I love seeing this documentary.

DMB is one of my Top Ten most favorite bands, EVER!! ❤❤❤

In '99 I learned how to play guitar using the Live at Luther College album. Dave's music was my entire world and life.

Just brilliant!

Dave Matthews @ Alpine Valley 2024. Who's all going. I frickin love this band.

Best. Band. Ever. They have heart ❤

This band going to become HUGE amd tour every summer!

Fukin wow!, I never knew as I'm just getting back to DMB after Surviving my own life.... I returned for the Nastalgia "The Space Between" that keeps me going on again.

The two passions I have in my life are #1 my dog #2 dmb. Dmb culture dmb concerts Dave and Tim concerts. There's nothing in life like it. Was just at SPAC last week will be seeing Dave and Tim on Sunday I can't wait. My first Dave and Tim

❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 ❤️ was and still am fascinated and in love with Dave Matthew's band.

I lived in Charlottesville Va back in 1990 I believe was the year . He use to play every weekend in the old downtown area and at Trax night club. . Good times

Dave will always be my 1st love in music

I first seen DM at western Michigan University in 95-96 I believe. Haven't missed a show in Detroit but once since 2001

Yo, the image animations got me hooked lol.

I was there every Tuesday night at Trax for several months straight.

My fav acoustic rhythm musician.

Cool video.

My sister and brother-in-law favorite band❤

Fell in love with DMB first moment I heard them in 1996…27 years and 34 shows later, it’s the longest love affair I’ve had in life yet!!! 🥰🎶

Crowd funding before the internet. Someone once made a snarky comment about him naming the band after himself.... I said "No, you've got it all wrong. WE named the band" No matter how big the stadium is, DMB is just as cozy and personal as the van tour days.

My heart and soul

Dmb...first 3 cds...awsome, then...not so much...crazy tallent in the dmb band...yet I dig old school " the samples "... way more!!!

And, My Sincerest Condolences for your loss, Mr. Matthews😞

Just LOOOOVE!

This band is my ♥️

@ 27:44 No shocker, the first funky smell Boyd recalls from road life in the van is feet 🤣

Satellite..literally..is the reason I'm here today.

Why are they using lettered Skynyrd and Rusted Root and other bands as music in a Dave Matthews documentary?

Sweet!

I love Dave Matthews ❤️🌞❤️

Hey RU-vid. Why don’t you put the commercials where the commercial breaks are instead of in the middle of sentences

I have a crush on Dave since that Before these Crowded Streets album! up to now that they have the new album coming out, he still looks good:) damnit! his wife is do damn lucky!:)

Seriously, where can I see more of the footage at 19:40 with Dave and Tim, and what year was that from?

Soo cool

I saw them open for Phish as UC Davis in 1994. I don't think I ever saw them live again. Hmmm.

A Jan baby 💞 & how I don't think I've ever heard he was from South Africa then again his speech never made me wonder.. ✌💙

No mention of before these crowded streets?

Greatest band of all time!

is there extended footage of the Dave and Tim clip seen at the 19:42 mark?? Also, what year was that from? I've never seen that footage anywhere except from this documentary!

What's with all the Rusted Root?

What a sad story to see him on good morning America

I became a fan of this band on April 23, 1994- when they played in the backyard of my fraternity's (Sigma Chi) house @ West Virginia University.

I'm just here to find out what the big deal is. I've seen Dave live at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo, NY and I had a good time I guess, but I know literally nothing about the man or his band, so here I am I guess! Thanks for the video!
