Lyrics:
Come out come out
No use in hiding
Come now come now
Can you not see?
There's no place here
What were you expecting
Not room for both
Just room for me
So you will lay your arms down
Yes I will call this home
Away away
You have been banished
Your land is gone
And given me
And here I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
What's this you say?
You feel a right to remain?
Then stay and I will bury you
What's that you say
Your father's spirit still lives in this place
I will silence you
Here's the hitch
Your horse is leaving
Don't miss your boat
It's leaving now
And as you go I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
I have no time to justify to you
Fool, you're blind, move aside for me
All I can say to you my new neighbor
Is you must move on or I will bury you
Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here
I have retired them
I can breathe my own air
I can sleep more soundly
Upon these poor souls
I'll build heaven and call it home
Cause you're all dead now
I live with my justice
I live with my greedy need
I live with no mercy
I live with my frenzied feeding
I live with my hatred
I live with my jealousy
I live with the notion
That I don't need anyone but me
Don't drink the water
Don't drink the water
There's blood in the water
Don't drink the water
Honestly - this could be the greatest moment in human history
Powerful cuz
fuckin right
Honestly - this could be the greatest comment I’ve ever read
I think I can 💯agree with that....sooooo cooool!!!😮
It’s a concert. Get a grip.
I still maintain this fact today this is the best live performance of any band ever and the best audio engineered live concert ever on planet Earth this one right here
You're not wrong, Brackett!
This was the high-water mark for DMB in terms of personnel, catalog, following, and venues.
Agree!!
I would agree, the sound was done perfectly.
Saw them just the other day in Charlotte. I have always been a fan, but seeing this song in particular live put them in a whole new category for me.
Dave Matthews Band has that magical ability to make their live performances sound better than the actual studio version of their songs. That is mad talent right there 🎶🎵🎶🎵
The dave Mathews band is great in concert
Their studio albums suck. They all lack energy and never capture the band properly. I rarely listen to their studio albums, just the live albums.
Damn straight. Live at Luther College is my all-time favorite album of Dave's.
RUSH had that same quality. They could reproduce their studio albums live...in fact it was a requirement. Many of these so called "intellectual rock" bands seem to strive for that.

One of the greatest performances of all time.
Jesus answered, ‘Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.’”
Dave Matthews, Peter Gabriel, Jeff Buckley. The three voices that could bring you to tears.
❤
Adding Elvis for me.
Robert Plant even sang Elvis before concert warming up. He has one song that you would believe it's him. I'm old thank God
That still gives me the shivers 17 yrs later
Greatest concert ever!
same here. lost my CD for this years ago during a move but I revisit these uploads just because of how much this concert blew me away
Blows the studio version out of the water that you're not to drink.
Does it make you forget?
F n fluoride as well
I love how every band member has their own distinct style yet they all come together in such a cohesive fashion like some kind of musical Avengers
Agree. But without Leroi and Tinsley they lost that distintic and unique style.. that very unique sound... still love them, but no longer the same for me.
Seriously, what better way to open up a concert than that entry - it's like an immediate crack to the face! Love it! Best live band ever!
This song is so intense live. It's evolved to such a hard hitting banger. The album version is much more chill.
Crack to the face is right
if he didnt open with it in my area almost every time i saw him it would be awesome. but for some reason. this version just gets me so pumped. dave just sounds so damn good. the band does too a little lol
Mjmvoo
Kevin Mcdonald The band was on fire this night and Dave’s voice was on point and powerful.
I love that we're all still coming back to this amazing concert video almost 20 years after it happened. - Why? Because it's that good, that special. The hairs on my arms still stand on end when I watch this bit of magic on stage. - DMB will always rank as one of the best bands in modern musical history, in my book.
Best show ever...bummer I wasn't following him then. New fan in 2009...wifey turned me on to dave....seen him live over 50 times now....always come back to this show...epic.
This is officially the greatest concert I've ever seen.
If I could go back to any time of life, it would be 2003 so I could attend this concert and never go to college.
I’ve watched this maybe 50 times, and listened to it in the car at least another 100 times. It’s the best opening number to concert, ever. Their energy, particularly Dave’s, is mind-blowing.
Same
4:39 is probably the most passionate scream I’ve ever heard... quickly followed by that huge soaring yell. Dave sounds like a barbarian world at the end. Such a powerful voice.
So you're telling us that you didn't listen to the full concert then? Because that yell during "What You Are" kicked the fuck out of this otherwise fantastic song.
The best Dave Matthews song hands down. Chills at the lyrics and that he takes the perspective of a sick ideology. One we are still fighting.
💙
Lane Literature Audios - Composition II ❤️
Yeah look at aparthied Isreal its manifest destiny 21 century.
Story of every tribe. Its what was done.
Sorry, but its really about Satan. Dig deeper
To this day it puzzles me that people do not like this band, their concerts are a non stop party and a Great Adventure for your senses
I use to make fun of my sister when I was 13-14 years old for listening to them. Until she took me to my first concert at 15 with my high school gf! I’m a bigger fan than she is now! Hands down my favorite band! I love their concerts!
People that went to his concerts in the 90s and early 2000s were a much better crowd than who go to see em now.
During the 90s Everyone was grooving, dancing and sending joints around. Now everyone sits on their hands (except for people in the first 10 rows) and gets their phone out, even though every show is online.
To everyone -
You don't have to like my opinion, but it's absolutely true🤷♂️
@@pdl46lundy55And the amount of weed the audience smokes 🤢
How many indigenous cultures went through this? Where is our compassion. Our remorse. Our sympathy. This song embodies it.
Stefan Lessard is a beast on the bass.
Dude for real I freaking LOVE the way he moves up that riff on the “what’s this you say” part
@@derpceej What makes this song is so great is you can jam it out and make it your own. Lessard definitely knows how to make one solid bass line.
This is DMB, i know it can never be the same. But this is the shit.
Best live version of this song ever!
the best, in my op., is "Live at Sound Advice Amphitheatre, W. Palm Beach" cause Dave use all the power voice when he sings "Yes I will call this home"
Un Nome Di Fantasia my favorite is from Nissan Pavilion in 2008
You damn right, Britz!
When a Live Version overcome the studio version!
to be fare most of his live versions overcome his studio tracks
Oh yeah.
I listen to the live before the studio it’s like a different song
@@jacobwestern Yes DMB is great for evolving all their songs. Sometimes they get changed so much you end up with virtually two different great songs.
@@jacobwestern 👍🏻💯💯
I would've loved to be at this show. No better band live on this planet.
Always find myself coming back to this performance. The sound is insane, I miss the sound of leroi, boyd and butch. Something about Dave’s performance is just so powerful too - opening such a huge concert the energy is electric, the way he moves back and forth from the mic hitting his foot. SO much energy and then the build up to ‘I will BURYY YOU’ and ‘MOVE ASIDE FOR ME!’ The look on his face. Ahhhh. And to top it all off…. The outro verse, gives me chills everytime they go into it. I’m yet to hear them do it in any other live version. Just fkn unreal. Un. Real.
Absolutely love Carter's face after Dave's insane vocals at the end. You can tell they love each other's craftsmanship every concert
Carter is a monster on the drums!
At 6:07 the look of pure joy on this woman's face makes me watch again and again!
Lucky enough to see DMB live. Absolutely incredible.
So damn lucky...
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water..... The blood? Without the atoning work of the blood of Jesust Christ than the Gospel message of God's word is of no effect.... Satan's greatest fear? For one to "drink in" the gospel of Christ,, for the blood of Christ saves man from sin. It can not be any more clear.
World: You can't be metal without distorted electric guitars
DMB: hold our beers
Seriously, that shit hits!!
they could do any metal riff.
Love
Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here
But I have retired them
I can breathe my own air
And I can sleep more soundly
Upon these poor souls.....
Brought my daughter to this show. Warehouse members she was in 4 th grade. Heading to NYC with her many years later to MSG See you next month Dave!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love it! ❤
This has to be the greatest opening to any Dave concert. I haven't seen them all but it's hard to beat this. The very first few seconds from just quietness to full on horns was amazing.
4:37 is just incredible vocal technique
If you’ve never researched what this song actually means and how Dave is literally singing as the “bad guy” in this song, do yourself a favor and look it up immediately. Changes the song in every way.
It’s so refereeing hearing (and seeing) a performance that’s more about the musical connection of the band than it is about how crazy their outfits or dance moves are.
23 in 2023 and just found this this morning. watched it twice now. on my third time through. wow.
ive got shirts older than you
@@SillyGoose2024 me too currently wearing one from 1995
@@SillyGoose2024 sell me your shirts
Now that's real live music energy, totally awesome!
Thee definitive version right here
I've always said that, Elliott!
Sooooooooooooooooooo fucking good live. The band is fucking amazing. Very lucky to get such a bass playing prodigy.
Powerful. Nation built on blood, still reconciling with its sins so many want to desperately ignore.
Well said. I love the argument he and the native have during this song.
Central Park is the GOAT for DMB... Of all time.. This is their crown jewel for a band that really specializes in live performances.. Quite a feat!
Who is gonna be dancing with me at Saratoga next summer???? I CANNOT WAIT FOR SUMMER 2021!!!!!!!
Top of their game
Fucking phenomenal for all time!
Get you a job that makes you as consistently happy as Carter Beauford’s job makes him
One of the best bands to see live!
Magic
Just a superb audio quality
This song live is always the best. I remember my first DMB concert, they played it and this was me the whole time 🤯🤯🤯🤯😮😮😮🤯🤯🤯🤯😲😲😲😲🤯🤯
I think this is my favorite DMB concert... he opens up with a banger and the rest is history 👋 👋 👋 👋 .. Maybe it's bc i live in NY...
Dave Matthews just doesn't run out of energy. I bet his family had their hands full when they were rocking out to his childhood jams.
Saw them last night in Warsaw,Poland. Their second ever show in Poland. AMAZING BAND!!!
Unreal that they do this song, this good, on this island, in this time, & the irony of the lyric "Your father's spirit still lives in this place" like literally right where he is standing on Manhatten Island, the multi-layered meaning is boggling me lol
THE Best!! I wish I could have been there for this.
I was and it was THE BEST!
We need Boyd back! He was such a detrimental piece and look to the band. That huge smile when he starts really rocking was just priceless. Still love them today and see them at every NY show I can, but damn I miss seein Boyd up there. Leroi too, but, we can't get him back.
Isaiah 1:10-26...this song!
The drummer!!
Carter is bad ass!
Carter Beauford is arguably the best drummer of all time. He's relentless, insanely creative, and plays with unmatched precision.
Got a hug from him a couple months ago!!
They all are perfect... including the bass player that no one pays attention to.
@@bradhall4429 Well Charlie Adams could beat him in some things, But hes also really good
This is the song which switched me onto DB...love it
What a sad song. Makes me sad evert time.
i wasn't there but i had the album... greatest show ever
What a voice, amazing
Gave me goosebumps. Twice. What I'd give.
unprecedented. top of the mountain.
so fukin proper and bad ass for the light in these times!!!!!
tell em what we know Dave ❤️🔥
This is my favorite version of this song. The full version, with the slow build up, to be shattered by the powerful drop by such talented musicians....amazing!
I bought this CD, and between the 3, I turned at least 200 people on to DMB.
this performance specifically has always since I found it, will always, always has & always will give me chills. 1 of the 1st CD's ever bought on the 1st time I took a real mall trip was the Central Park Concert. larger then life
i don’t even think words can express how spot on u r ~~~ bug big big love 🫶🏼TYUUUUUUUUUUUUU🥰
The best ever version of this epic masterpiece …love DMB ❤
This felt like an hour long and I loved every second
My bucket list...
Great song! Amazing lyrics
COMING UP ON 20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THIS HEAVENLY CONCERT!!!! I WISH I WAS THERE SO BAD
One of my favourite live performances ever!
chills 👏👏👏👏👏👏
The power of music ❤️
R.I.P LeRoi man i miss his saxaphone playing.
🎷 👑
I would not have watched this and seen how great it was unless that guy near the snakes at Sedona arizona on July 30 2023 had told me u love this whole concert
Legend has it that Carter Beauford was so smooth that he had to put sandpaper on his drum throne to keep his ass from sliding right off.
True story. 😉
Just fucking unbelievable… it’s like flying off a cliff at mad speed
See y’all in Raleigh on Friday!!! So pumped! 🙌🏽♥️
Love the drums
I used to listen to this song, after my brother bought me the DMB live at Central Park, on repeat. That part "I'll build heaven and call it home" breaks me to this day, and i haven't heard this song in 2 years. I'm actually in tears typing this
After obsessively playing this song the last couple of days, i realized when i was 15, I'd completely overlooked the lyrics. This song is about colonization, isn't it? First verse speaking of hunting down the indigenous people. There's only room for me, no room both. Second verse, is kicking them out. Away away you have been banished. Your land is gone and given to me. Pre-chorus, what's this you say, you feel the right to remain, then stay. I will bury you. What's that you say, your father's spirit still lives in this place. My God, I'm so happy that i rediscovered this song at 27 and really listened to the words. It's so much more powerful than I'd even thought before.
What a performance!!!!
Please people, DON’T DRINK THE WATER! Dave ain’t lyin’.
This is how you kick off a fucking show at the NYC! 🎉❤🥳🎶
Damn I forgot how good this version from Central Park is!! 🔥🔥🔥
I'm 64 years old, and I've never been to a concert. Always just too damn busy. If I ever break that cycle, it will be for DMB
I really hate that you guys don't have the full concert uploaded; the intro and build to opening with this song is just so beautiful, haunting, and sets the mood so perfectly.
I judge every live performance after this one!
This might well be the best track from arguably their best performance of all time. I listen to the album version regularly and this one blows it out of the water
So are we just gonna ignore that amazing footwork at 2:23 to 2:25
Lol that man was groovin!!!
LOL... people don't call him Crazy Legs for nutthin'
Dave’s happy feet.
I love rhe Yoko Ono lyrics adaptation on dont drink the water is fantastic .
I would say I could watch this a thousand times. But I probably have already. Great performance of a great song.
Thnx Dave, just rockin in the free world and find you to, bring it!
One of the best concerts I’ve had the pleasure to attend 👏🤗! DMB is da bomb ( especially live) ❤
2 humanitarians
This is epic!
whoa, he BROUGHT it
