This was my kids first "concert". We got there 2 hours early and got a spot right up front in the corner. Dave shook my brother-in-law's hand when he came out! Just as Stay or Leave ended at 25:24, Dave notice my 4yr old son on my shoulders feverishly applauding and smiling!! Dave pointed at him, and smiled back and by reading his lips I could tell his said something like, "look at that smile...". Stay or Leave will always be my favorite song just because of that little moment. I'm proud that my 3 kids were able to see Dave in person, 10ft away for their first concert! ;)
That’s an awesome story. I’m happy your kids had that experience. This kind of music makes you a better person. It gets in your soul. I know it did for me as a kid
99% of the so-called "artists" on the pop music charts CANNOT perform live like this. Respect to Dave for being a true artist who can absolutely nail each song performance, even solo in a mall. Justin Beiber couldn't hold Dave's jock strap.
I'm on my wife's account... she passed a few months ago and "stay or leave" hit me hard takes new meaning to me now. Followed by the whiskey song I've become an alcoholic since she left me. We saw DMB 5 times together I'll never forget the first show we saw together we were young and I couldn't afford to buy her a tshirt and we found one in the mud that fit her perfectly. The last time I saw her alive she was wearing the shirt. She always wore that shirt.... I'm sorry I'm being a bummer... thanks for so many good times I will never forget dave thank you.
DM is a modern day Mozart. 200 years from now when the Psy's and Beiber's are long forgotten, people will still be listening DM, and borrowing inspiration from his incredible catalog of music. He is a musical genius.
Fantastic. His music will live on for the next generations to come. I just hope kids these days recognize the talent and true artistry that goes with him and musicians like him. Rock on Dave!
Trust me.... I'm 12 years old and I love DMB. In my head I was able to sing along with every song in this video. Also, love the username. "ProudestMonkey09"
I was the guy that shouted RYE Whiskey and he played it-- and it wasnt on the setlist, so that was pretty cool and stuff. This video is just awesome because it shows how real Dave is and why I think so many people like the musics.
Dave Matthews Band has been (without a doubt) my fav band since the early 90's. There is nothing on earth like sitting in row close to the stage at a live concert. It gave me a purely euphoric feeling through the entire concert the first time I had a chance to go. GREAT!!!!
Found this gem during the social distancing/stay home time (it’s April 7 2020)... how great is this man... he’s worth 300million yet willing to show up at a mall solo and play because a friend asked him to ☮️❤️
Man, I envy him... All day long I play my guitar, I wish I had people from all over the world wanting to hear me... not only my parents yelling at me in 2 AM that they're sick of me making noise lol
Dave probably lives down the street so he jumped in the Benz and headed down to perform what will be the best show the people who were at this event will ever see! I'm a huge fan who just loves the live performances. He's a true artist and this Rye Whiskey version is truely out of left field!!!
I'm not even a huge Dave Mathews fan, but I dig some of his music...true musicians...as I watch him sing and play at the same time, he almost seems robotic, like he's so damn good he can just program himself to just go all out...some of the stuff he plays is not simple, and he has to sing over every little thing he plays...impressive.
Awesome - I grew up in Bellevue, and hung out at this mall many a time. Sad to have missed this, but I'm glad it was recorded. Huge thanks to Chester and Dave for this!
Dave Matthew is a poet & lyrical genius! I'm a die hard fan & cannot believe I just found this. Pretty cool when Bill Gates pings your cell & asks you to perform! Then he comes out swinging for the fences with Crush, then So Damn Lucky...wow! Stay or Leave is a fantastic song rarely performed, one of his best...
I love musicians who just love music. the ones who don't want anything but to share it with people...DAVE MATHEWS YOU ARE AWESOME!!! As long as music lives music like this will live on
Thank you for this.....beautiful . How lucky are those people to see this , wish they would just stop talking while Dave was singing, show some respect people !! Let the man sing ♥♥
Even when it's just him and a guitar without the band, with even Tim he's amazing.... It's sad his guitar playing doesn't get more respect... No one else plays like that and even John Mayer claims him as an influence.
He's a regular dude too, just like you. The only thing that separates you from him is belief. If you believe in yourself, you really can achieve anything. Never give up bro! Peace.
It is absolutely maddening that this only has 15K hits and that crap by Gaga and Berber have 100's of millions of hits. Makes you really wonder what direction humanity is going. Big ups to Bill Gates for having good taste in music.
Bm is the base chord of the song. Everything else is just well, Dave. My brother and I played this at a few coffee shops, wish we could nail it like he does.
Thanks for the video! I don't know if you knew this or not but I audio taped the whole show with my H4n on a 15 foot mic stand by the soundboard. If you want it you can get it on bt.etree dot org just look under the Dave Solo shows
So. his hand looks like it has a life of it's own on satellite. Seriously, watch all the playing he's doing, WHILE singing. Also, Stay or leave is played on a standard guitar, standard tuning. Hope that helps.

The most awesome story ever, when D pointed at your son was every nerve ending in you body totally aware. Can't imagine, love D.

Your experience made me smile . Thanks for sharing .
Beautiful.

No he would bury his face in it and keep on licking ;)
Including adjusting the mic mid song... with his chin (41:27). One of Dave's many talents.
I agree Whole Heartedly, this is one of the true musical artists of our time.

my kids are being taught about DMB....and specifically his talent...
Trust me.... I'm 12 years old and I love DMB. In my head I was able to sing along with every song in this video. Also, love the username. "ProudestMonkey09"
DMB is the one of the best styles of music I’ve seen in a long time, and that’s coming from 13 yr old
Such a real person! No one else can make toes curl like Dave.
I was the guy that shouted RYE Whiskey and he played it-- and it wasnt on the setlist, so that was pretty cool and stuff. This video is just awesome because it shows how real Dave is and why I think so many people like the musics.
Just strolling through the mall and "oh look, dave matthews is playing! "
I so wish.....
Lucky you . Last show I saw at a mall randomly was singing elves .😟😟😟😟😟

He's an amazing human
It is official I am in love with Dave Mathews! I love all his live singing I even love it when he speaks!!!
loves you as well
Like so many other occasions, I was fortunate to have made this appearance of Dave's. I love Rye Whiskey!
Thank you Chester, for all you do. Bellevue my old hometown. Cheers
Love it. Been an obsessive DMB fan since 1993, and I always will. Can never get enough. Seen them 15 times in Dallas TX so far.
hehe when i was younger saw him up and down the east coast over 12 years and him and tim seen him 73 times total
Man, I envy him...
All day long I play my guitar, I wish I had people from all over the world wanting to hear me... not only my parents yelling at me in 2 AM that they're sick of me making noise lol
Keep making noise my friend.

You are 100% correct.
10:05 - So Damn Lucky - Definitely one of the more passionate awesome renditions of one of my favorites.
Dave is the man.
Wow kickass setlist for a mall and Dave gives 110% even for a small crowd.
I'm not even a huge Dave Mathews fan, but I dig some of his music...true musicians...as I watch him sing and play at the same time, he almost seems robotic, like he's so damn good he can just program himself to just go all out...some of the stuff he plays is not simple, and he has to sing over every little thing he plays...impressive.
Just check out one of his "simpler" songs like Loving Wings. Try playing that and singing at the same time!
Absolute BEST Dave Solo performance EVER........
Awesome - I grew up in Bellevue, and hung out at this mall many a time. Sad to have missed this, but I'm glad it was recorded. Huge thanks to Chester and Dave for this!
It's so funny to watch this and them watch the video you have from the blockbuster store. It's amazing what 17 years of very hard work can do.
This. Just this. It can never get old. Thank you, Dave.
holy fucking shit. i would have paid $500 for this 10 years ago, although it's equally great, now.
"HALLOWEEN!"
*dave laughs really hard*
hahahahaha priceless

Love it Dave .. just love it.
thank you for making my morning brighter!!! Been a dave fan since forever in the early 90's! :) This is awesome
I love how he plays so effortlessly - true musician!
Besides all the awesomeness that is Dave, what a setlist!
Even when it's just him and a guitar without the band, with even Tim he's amazing.... It's sad his guitar playing doesn't get more respect... No one else plays like that and even John Mayer claims him as an influence.
41:41 - that note gives me chills 100% of the time he sings it live.
yes!
He's a regular dude too, just like you. The only thing that separates you from him is belief. If you believe in yourself, you really can achieve anything. Never give up bro! Peace.
Haha he really didn't want to be there that morning, at all.
But he still put on a great show. When he performs he does it truly. Legit artist.
i love when you get a chill when he starts singing.
wow, i always knew he was a great acoustic guitar player but his playing in this video is amazing.
That Halloween tease was epic. Great stuff!
Awesome!!
It is absolutely maddening that this only has 15K hits and that crap by Gaga and Berber have 100's of millions of hits. Makes you really wonder what direction humanity is going.
Big ups to Bill Gates for having good taste in music.
The dudes that make his guitars are sick, they're the lightest "machines" I've ever held. They make 'em in town here in C'ville, just perfection.....
freakin A, a younger Dave Matthews in 2010 playing in a mall. I missed out
it's so amazing that he did this!
Took my son Bennett to this, his first "up close" Dave show...we were about twenty feet from stage on Dave's right...great time
yup, cant think of his name off the top but he has always been there
Ending with Don't Drink the Water, brilliant
that was awesome to see! what a down to earth human being! DMB
AWESOME DAVE
thank you so much for this, great job!
Bm is the base chord of the song. Everything else is just well, Dave. My brother and I played this at a few coffee shops, wish we could nail it like he does.
Very cool, thanks for posting. He was 15 mins away from my house but I was in VA for his shows! Figures ;)
Great Job Chestercopperpot5!!! Found this today...great job recording!! This was AWESOME!!!
I love all the people recording on their I-phones haha, legit set!
!!! XoxOxoX !!! Much appreciation for all your hard work AND sharing, Jason! kiss, kiss
"IF" the lord were just a notion of music, that notion would be Dave Mathews !!! ... there is no one like him ... ;)
that halloween tease made my day
SO NICE I LIKED IT TWICE
" I hope this doesn't interrupt anybody's shopping experience ... " lol Dave is funny
I love when he does "this land was made for you and me" part of Dont drink the water
I watch this every weekend.
Weekend is almost over.
Excellent flow between sources.
really amazing!
thank you so much for sharing
Jason ~ You fekkin' rawk my world!!! Thank you for putting this treat all together!!! amAzingggg!!! XoxOxoX
amazing
It's my dream to hold a conversation with Dave Matthews. Your so lucky!
mighty fine instrument you got there dave.
Holy shit, that Save Me.
That guitar sounds awesome, the Martin.
Amazing 😀
I wish he'd come to my mall...
I agree 100% this is the mark of a true musician! Solo! John Mayer is another one that can pull this off and has...
dont put mayer at the same level... please.
@@TheBerserker50 Mayer is higher level
Ive been waiting for this! Nice!!!
Thank You !!!
Dave really doesn't get enough credit as a singer/song-writer. Look at the construction of "Crush"- there is nothing simple about that song.
Baby in pink ....instant Dave Fan!!!
Thank you Jason!!
awesome, thank you
Thanks for the video! I don't know if you knew this or not but I audio taped the whole show with my H4n on a 15 foot mic stand by the soundboard. If you want it you can get it on bt.etree dot org just look under the Dave Solo shows
"HALLOWEEN........!"
Best look on daves face...
man, he has spirit like fire
awesome as hell thank u!!!
dave's old taylor, beauty.
This is awesome! Thanks for putting this together. Flawless.
LOVE ME some Dave Matthews.. I dont give a f**k
Thanks ChesterCopperPot5
I love the Goonies music in the intros
Well said! I couldn't agree more! :)
whaaaat? RYE WHISKEY
I lol'd at him saying DDTW was his Thanksgiving song
wow!!!!!! this is awesome n_n
How did I miss this?!?!?!!
First thing I did after seeing it was in a mall was check the concert date (expecting it to be realllly old)
the chords he plays are wild and real
How lucky were these people wth wish I was there
So. his hand looks like it has a life of it's own on satellite. Seriously, watch all the playing he's doing, WHILE singing. Also, Stay or leave is played on a standard guitar, standard tuning. Hope that helps.
oh....my........ 💞
