So many people don't understand how amazing this band is. People are so quick to turn their nose up on them. Maybe because of Crash Into Me or Dave's image of something. But how can you deny this incredible musicianship, jamming, songwriting, etc. I'm sure 99.9% of people who claim not to like Dave have never heard them really jam like this. It's powerful and you can't honestly say it isn't. these guys play real music, and they respect music. This jam was sick. Amazing horn solos in the intro. Funky outtro jam. Tim knew to lay back for this one and let the others shine. Dave patiently let the intro grow into an amazing climax. But The horns were so in sync, one would start their solo with the last riff the other played. Killer phrasing. If Miles Davis played that trumpet solo, people would have sh*t their pants. And I've listened to hundreds of hours of miles and love everything he did. But still, if he pulled off that solo people would have said it was one of the best he's played. These guys are good.
I can.... I mean yes they sound good, but nobody with ANY GOOD CONSCIENCE can say that this band, one I've been the biggest fan of for 25 years, sounds the best or better without Boyds violin.... it doesnt!!! The sound of his violin is what made this band more than just a rock band or whatever category u wanna use.. the violin is what made them this distinct type of music because nobody had that special sauce of a sound and it makes them stand very distinctly apart from every other band wihh guitars, drums, horns, piano/organ and a lead singer..... when those violin notes starts to creep in and build into a mesmerizing crescendo of notes by THE Boyd Tinsley it's the absolute best fucking sound an sends chills down my spine.... BOTTOMLINE, without the special sound of the violin and the outta this world talent of Boyd ther
@@TB-dt6db eh I disagree, in all fairness I've only been a fan for about 15 years, I dont have the seniority as a lot of old dave fans, but I think the way the band has evolved the past few years has really catered to at least my tastes. The group is a lot more of a tight jam band whereas back in the day they might be classified as more world/roots. I like both. The violin certainly is missed from a few specific songs like Ants, pig, warehouse, tbh, although I must say the way the band does warehouse live the past few years sounds simply fucking incredible. The best live dave song is warehouse from the concert for Charlottesville from 2017. They did the song in the fashion they do it now and boyd was still playing. I cant say boyd was my favorite part of every song though, sometimes his solos got pretty repetitive andok monotonous, like in crush for instance.
@@yourmother3207 this has to be the worst era for the band...05-06 was bad too...they were best from around 2008-2014. They need a violin...I don't care if its Boyd or someone else...
I was in my 30's, back in the 90's, when I fell upon DMB. A friend told me to watch and listen to this, he lent me the Central Park concert DVD. I was instantly hooked and have since seen them live a few times. One must see them live to truly appreciate the quality of musicians and timing this band has.
Carters momentum is impeccable. Up and down, soft and steady. His odd time signatures are hands down some of the best in the business. He drives the entire bands pace and speed at all times. That is what drew me to this band many years ago. The whole band is really good but Carter stood out from the beginning.
Everything is always played different every time...Every song. They show how skilled each individual person is and The Dave Matthews Band a great group of musicians who make it look easy. Carter on drums takes this band to another level above most bands to date.
Buffalo Springfield! DMD! I'm an old man in Colorado. So Great to see DMB in CO! As always, GREAT musicianship. And emotional engagement. [See GREAT musicianship.]
Oh my goodness that solo by Buddy was insane when he cranked it up! Then Carter knows the time to get into the style he's playing and Tim and Stefan get going. My god. It's a beautiful thing.
@@jwukulele I think I'd like to see them. I mean I have a jist of how things went down but I've never seen them. I trust that the band did what needed to be done to protect the integrity of the band, but without knowing 💯 what went down its hard not to miss that exquisite sound that only Boyd had. Not defending the man or in any way condoning his actions (just wanted to make that clear). I'm only saying that I miss the sound of him accompanying the rest of these amazing musicians with his instrument.
I cannot put into words how much Carter means to me. Dave has the voice of a fricken angel and i have so much admiration towards him, imo he is the best singer in our modern times. Carter has blown my mind constantly. I Cannot explain my gratitude for the Dave Matthews band. Literally changed my life. Stefan is an absolute beast, Rashawn is a freaking beast, and Butch taylor is a genius. Thank you all. you are all phenomenal.! my sincerest gratitude!
I love seek up!!! I know Dave doesn't believe in God ,but you can hear God working on Dave and his band every performance!!! I love when Dave speaks of His Mother,he definitely loved his Mama!!!
My honest thoughts: I really used to enjoy that Celtic-sounding Boyd improv in this tune when the jam section starts. This jazz piano stuff is alright, but that Celtic violin stuff just had the coolest dark mysterious vibe to it, reminded me of an espionage movie
Also, when I was in Jr High and High School, I aspired to be a drummer. I am always overwhelmed by the fantastic Carter Beauford. Have been for 30 years.
It is easy to assume that Dave is the least strong musician in the group, and perhaps there is some validity to that, but it's important to keep in mind that he actually writes all of the songs and composes them. He may not be the strongest musician when it comes to technical proficiency on an instrument, but he clearly has a vision in mind when he writes. I am a big fan of his themes and lyrics. Most of his songs deal with the "memento mori" idea, which resonates with me very strongly. I had terrible anxiety and depressive issues in my 20s. Listening to DMB and really getting into the lyrics, and reading writers like Walker Percy, Kierkegaard, and other existentialists helped me embrace the idea that we are all going to die, and ultimately life may not have any meaning, but what we do today matters, even if it is just being moved by a killer jam.
Amazing throwback. Dave digging deep into his roots of the Gorge in 2002. It's an absolutely amazing reinterpretation of their masterpiece of this song
I have been to so many shows over almost 30 years. It's not there anymore. An occasional flash, but no... And I'll be loyal enough to go back this summer.

I like how Dave is always looking around himself like "holy shit these guys are amazing"
cause the are. All of them- He really appreciates his band
Seriously, Dave literally somehow assembled a "Super Group" right out of the gate.

well said! people who think DMB are lame have a very surface-level understanding of their songs.
the world is full of fools. fk them. don't worry about the fools.
The haters piss me off.
Really well said mate
Mic Drop.
I love this song, with the word love really hitting hard.
Man I love the way they jazz up these old classics. Cannot imagine the band sounding any better than they have the past 2 years.

No one can ever replace LeRoi, but I notice it takes two people to even get close. RIP, LeRoi.
I was just telling my son how amazing he was. This band really misses him.
Lmao. Rashawn was playing with DMB for at least 3 years before Leroi passed…….

Finally Seek Up!
Awesome mix too - it’s rare to find a Seek Up mix these days where you can actually hear Dave’s guitar through the entire song
I totally agree! Mix is stellar, and nice to here that riff on the top of it all.
great recording
He writes the songs and the band does the work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE THIS BAND!
They all write the songs. Dave writes the lyrics…..
Buffalo Springfield! DMD! I'm an old man in Colorado. So Great to see DMB in CO! As always, GREAT musicianship. And emotional engagement. [See GREAT musicianship.]
Headphones On ! World Out ! ♥️
I am 70+ and a big fan of this Band.
This music takes me to another world. Love DMB
Horn section always on funking point!! LABOR DAVE WEEKEND!!!
Cannot wait to see Carter's big smile tomorrow night!
Top three dmb songs for me. This one gets better as it goes on..... Ya know how it is.
I am OBSESSED with Dave Mathews BAND....
Wow- that just happened. All amazing musicians. I love how Dave gives them all their own moment.
God these musicians are truly brilliant. Every performance I listen to for the first time amazes me and sends chills throughout!!
Love you guys DMB🇺🇸
Goddamn how much i love this band
Best band in the world. It's not even a contest
goddamn that intro was sick. The fist bump at 6:50!
awesome catch!
Beautiful! I am obsessed with this! Can’t stop listening :)
Just Amazing! Favorite song ever!!❤️
Our Mother has behavioral FTD and the disease tried to kill me and my sister. Your music saved us and kept us alive. I love you Leslie . Thank you DMB
The stellar level of this act is ridiculous. makes it harder to give these dudes the credit they deserve. They just fly so high.
Oh my goodness that solo by Buddy was insane when he cranked it up! Then Carter knows the time to get into the style he's playing and Tim and Stefan get going. My god. It's a beautiful thing.
So epic! Drummer is amazing
man, that's one hell of a live experience...
I love this song but I miss the violin a lot.
me too........
Me three. Boyd was incredible
Seeing the actual tweets that got Boyd Tinsley fired was something I can’t unsee.

It had to be done for what the band stands for. Integrity
Horn jamming was amazing! Dope version 👌👁👌
One of my favorite Dave matthews band songs. This is such a great classic! One of my favorite bands of all time as well.
I love the brass section! They are fantastic!

Oh this one takes me back.
Loved this version. Music therapy ❤
I just want to listen to this song forever.
Fabulous favorite song by DMB. In concert live it was amazing. Such a band in tune with each other. Could see this band yearly. 🤍
I wish Buddy would play a bit louder, or they would turn his channel up. His funky little additions to this are perfect. Turn him up!
He's plenty loud, I heard it perfectly.
You can hear him. But for some reason it took 11 minutes for the camera to focus on him 🤷♂️
Nah he was balanced perfectly
I think we all agree that Buddy is amazing
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hee puts so much emotion and fun into his performances. They are so amazing live.
so seriously fantastic
This is an amazing play of Seek Up. Love the way the current band plays it
Φοβερή εκτέλεση απίστευτη μπάντα αντε και live στην Ελλάδα
I love seek up!!! I know Dave doesn't believe in God ,but you can hear God working on Dave and his band every performance!!! I love when Dave speaks of His Mother,he definitely loved his Mama!!!
So beautiful. Perfection! Thank you!
They just make me so happy!!
sheeeeeesh the horn section in the intro jam of this song are so mesmerizing. the whole band is on point.

100% agree - this song is nowhere what it used to be.
Still a great song but yeah I agree.
@@dude4173 I wouldn't go that far but it's way more jammy with a violin
all i can say is, they make the best of what’s around❤️🤙🏻
@@Phightins good one 👍
Thank you Dave Matthews Band, and with Love🙏💫💖
absolutely wonderful - as usual
This is superb!
I havent heard a live version of seek up since the 90's and that shit was fricken awesome
Blow that crown chakra right off!❤️💕
Unique and extreme talented band!!
Sounding great!😎👍

You know it's good when Dave makes the "what's that smell" face
Gun to my head? Hands down fav. But there was nothing, and I mean nothing, like Boyd on the killer soooolloossss 🫶
Buddy is such a beast
