To be able to read, lead, follow, feel and feed off each other to this incredible jam session of epic proportions. What an adrenaline rush it must have been. Like having an out of body experience that I feel the same feeling they must have and I’m only listening to this. Yep, I’m a part of the band jamming my air guitar and doing the head bang thing while jamming with these fine artists. That was fun.
It definitely makes me miss just jamming with other musicians. I've played a few gigs in the last few years, but it's always been "prepared" songs, with defined sections. I really want to just jam with some folks and explore the space.
That “feeling” is so amazing and very addictive! It’s why I spent the majority of a decade seeing as much live music as I could. Plus my brother had 2 pretty successful Colorado jam bands and I would sell merch, load gear, whatever they needed I would do it, just so I could “listen to the music play”. 😊💃🏼✌️🎶
Shoutout to my boy Helmet! (his nickname was Helmet). He and I used to jam like this all the time just the 2 of us. We both played guitar, though he was much better at improvising and 'shredding'. I was better at drums and taught him how to play and then just let him figure the rest out bc I knew he could bc he was just built different. Our jam seshes would start out with me on guitar and him on drums, as a warmup, and we 'd jam for 10-20 min. Then we'd switch and play our more comfortable instruments. He'd just start playing some random shit on guitar and I'd join in on drums and within a few short seconds we were locked in. We would literally just play nonstop for almost an hour straight just exploring where we could go musically. Anyone that has jammed with others knows the feeling is like no other. Its kind of spooky how well we can read each others mind during a jam sesh. Best part is that you dont even have to know each other or even speak the same language bc music is universal and if youre tuned in youre tuned in.
This might be the most unique tune in Dead & Co's 8 year run. It's the only time they've played a tune (cover or original) in a style that wasn't of the Grateful Dead. This is Dave's unique take of All Along The Watchtower. And while the Dead covered it dozens of times, D&C gave the nod to Dave. So rare and such a gift
I've been into Dave forever and was catching this live. Couldn't believe the brought a guest / him on stage in the first place, then played it his way. Then stayed up a second song. And then back for the encore , that was wild
I was there! Last night of the Dead & Co in Folsom Field, CU, Boulder, CO, 7/3/23. My 1st Grateful Dead concert, Folsom Field, Sept. 1972. A long strange lovely trip it's been. And All Along the Watchtower has been my all-time favorite song since I first heard Barbara Keith do it in '73. I have a whole collection of various artists doing this song! Thank you Dead & Co & Dave Matthews.
It was amazing! Rain clouds rolled in about an hour into the show and they took a set break. Thought the show might have been over but they came back and played 2 hours of beauty!
2001 Dave mathews band broke the very strict curfew at Folsom field and concerts were banned there for 15 years. Dead & Co were first to play after ban was lifted. The song DM was playing as the curfew was broken was All Along the Watchtower #littleknownfacts 💃💥🕺
@@kevincarter7342 Yep... uptight douchebags in Boulder always ruin the fun. They barely held concerts after the 80's as it was. DMB played barely past curfew and paid a $15k fine then the athletic association for the University banned concerts.
Think about all the revenue (and good live music) that was lost over that (likely stupid) rule. I imagine anyone trying to sleep near the stadium wouldn't agree with me :)
OOOOO Dave !!!!! ive seen you 15 times my man .... your music your lyrics your soul touch me so much ... i have now became a husband a father.... ive missed you the last few years but we will reunite again soon my friend ..... im alive today because of you ..... from my soul to yours your an amazing artist and person .... you make the pain of life go away for a moment and i appreciate the years youve givin us to escape for a moment to relax and enjoy life for the better !!!! god bless you my friend
I saw DMB last weekend in Chicago and it was lovely. One of the things that was evident to me both nights of the show was that there are many who feel the same way you do. A delightful band and experience. This was a great cover. So good. I hope you get to see Dave again soon!
I could tell Dave was trynna steer them into a Stairway to Heaven style solo when he started singing a Led Zepplin part during Mayer's solo. I wish they went there lol. John picked up on it a little when he started playing what Dave was singing.
Give it another listen - you'll notice Mayer moving that way - steering DM...DM has done All Along the Watchtower Before with a nod to Stairway to Heaven so might not be impossible that Mayer new that. Irrespective, it just fits as far as time and key so there ya go).
@@guitarandotherthings6090 Thanks for the civil reply. Agreed - just flows nicely. And with the chops Mayer has he can pull that off effortlessly. Judging from your youtube 'handle' - you like guitar...check out Mayer playing with Leon Russell when he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Elton John. Mayer's phrasing on A Song For You is simply perfect.
@OceanofMaya Thanks, Mayer doesnt get the recognition as he is truly a guitar legend. Ironically most of his songs are pop, but the dude can play some serious guitar. Watching him improv live is worth putting up with hearing 1000 women sing "your body is a wonderland". lol
@@guitarandotherthings6090 Agreed. I've been playing for longer than I care to admit and he's top tier. ...When Eric Clapton anoits you, as he did Mayer, a "absolute master" well...lol that's some high praise. If you've not seen some of his playing with, of all people, Keith Urban - fantastic fantastic guitar woven into their songs. I think the full set is like 50 minutes if you can find it on youtube.
Anyone hear the Led zeppelin tribute in the solo by Mayor. Was that intentional or just kinda happen in the moment? Just incredible musicians. Matter fact both these guys were my inspiration amoung others to pick up the guitar 27yrs ago.
Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Dead and Co. playing a Bob Dylan song famously covered by Jimi Hendrix at a show in Colorado…the stoner energy is pushed to the max!
If you take away the bass guitar then the music will not sound anything like it does but I wished the camera would have shown the bassist a lot more think that the bass guitar is sometimes looked down upon but it makes the whole song sound better
As a massive DMB fan, I'm actually blown away with the amount of respect the ENTIRE band gives Dave. They are covering a DMB song. Yes, Dave didn't write it. But this is very clearly DMB's watchtower.
18 year old Mayer ??? WTF did you score some of the triple-dipped LSD? Cause John Mayer is 45 (dob 10/16/1977) Wow peeps really are misinformed nowadays LOL
@@JimWard-h1p ok so he would of been 14 in 91 when Dave played his version of Watchtower the first time. John was a big DMB fan was my point. Thanks for the correction to the age ..I guess. Hope you feel better.
This is amazing for me. My brother gave me my first DMB ticket just a day after we lost Jerry. I saw DMB play Eyes of the World and have seen them over 75 times live. I’ve enjoyed shows with Jerry, I’ve enjoyed Dead and Co shows, I love DMB shows…. But THIS! I would have given everything I had to be there in person to see them all jam together. At least we have the magic of the internet so we can all kind of be there.
At 7:07, Dave looks over at John when they are really grooving, and John has this big smile on his face. I am becoming more and more of a fan of all three of these artists very quickly.
Mind blowing. Love that they gave DM control to do his thing. Kind of crazy to think that this is an evolution of the 'Dead, playing Dave Matthews' version of a Jimi Hendrix song, with a nod to Led Zeppelin thrown in.

The song with dave matthews was just too epic with dead and company

Dave's arrangement of Watchtower is by far the best of any other
Dave and Co. NEEDS to continue
Amen! The world needs more Dead n Co!!
Such respect amongst all involved…such a treat
When Stairway kicked in… my inner child shit his pants. John Mayer, guitar solo mashup king.
Man. This is just as laid back as the old 99-03 Watchtowers used to be. Can’t get the same energy without horns but man this still feels real good
When Bobby uses his old man strength in his voice at @6:14 - Goosebumps

To have a stage full of this caliber of musicianship happens only a few times in a lifetime. Those who got to see it were lucky, this is real dope💀⚡️🌹

Oriel *always* adds a lot to a song. ❤
Absolutely amazing. What a great jam!
DMB and Mayer and one of my favourite songs goosebumps 🤘
Goosebumps every time I hear this jam
It will only allow me to hit the like button once ❤
This is phenomenal, thanks for posting!! 🔥
This is freaking awesome!!! They are all jamming! And to have Jeff play the "guitar solo" was incredible!!
Dave crushes this one and it's awesome seeing him w DeadCo do this song so well.

this makes me wanna see dave matthews in concert
I highly recommend you do if you haven't yet!
Awesome. Actually its AATW w/ Stairway To Heaven tease
If you don't love this and recognize the talent then you don't love music
Wow!!! 👍
Saw him cover this in STL in the '90s. I think the DMB covers this Dylan classic BETTER than anyone! One of my top three favorite songs!
The best thing. Ever!!
That bassist! 🔥👌
This is hittin!
GR8FUL
i think this is my favorite rendition of this song. holy shit im obsessed.
Absolutely brilliant 😊
I can't stop smiling.
Very groovy and cool to see them do Dave’s version of the tune. It sounded super bright and colorful.
I haven't seen Dave Matthew's in years as an Australian that used to follow. Bro has been on a diet of beer and burgers 😂
They played DMB's version..............🔥🔥🔥⚡🔥🔥🔥⚡🔥🔥🔥⚡🔥🔥🔥..............awesome
My gosh ❤️
It felt pretty electric in the stands ⚡️
Definitely the energy was insane
some jimmy page licks! I love it!!!!
Whoa brilliantly done!
Haha thought the guitar works sounded familiar ❤❤❤

A little Watchtower/Stairway to Heaven mashup. Dig it!
great version. wish John used more distortion during his solo but still very cool
Central Park bro ❤❤❤❤❤

Definitely intentional. DMB does that regularly.
They obviously couldn’t figure out who was taking that solo and then Chimenti saved the day.
damn right
I can't wait to see DMB at The Wharf 7/26
Omg it’s gonna be so good.
All of this has happened before and hopefully it will happen again.
Dang!
nur geil
That organ player when tf off my god he killed it bruh
love how the keyboardist keeps looking over at everyone like, "yall aint even ready for the shit im about to lay down, check this groove out"
🤟🏼
Battery Park #2
Sounds like Dave Mathews
Weird. Who's the guy singing?
@@littlefriend420 I meant it don't sound like Dead it sounds like Dave Mathews
@@MidwestOutlaw86 Just busting your chops a little. :)
Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Dead and Co. playing a Bob Dylan song famously covered by Jimi Hendrix at a show in Colorado…the stoner energy is pushed to the max!
That was awesome. Bob looks like he just washed ashore though.
Is side guitarist John?
!
Was that Stairway thing something theyve been doin or just on the fly?
That’s DMB’s Watchtower arrangement.
톰 행크스 폼 미쳤다 진짜 와우~~~~!!
Pier 19 1995 ants marching video .... Beacon theater the night before.
Why are there no camera's on Bob at all?
Dave knows how to sing. Chills.
If you take away the bass guitar then the music will not sound anything like it does but I wished the camera would have shown the bassist a lot more think that the bass guitar is sometimes looked down upon but it makes the whole song sound better
Couldn't have said it better. The bass guitarist does a lot. :)
Very true. In the DMB version I saw last weekend the bassist starts the song.
The real comments for this video are at the bottom
And everybody catch The Stairway to Heaven tease? 🔥
Why does Dave Matthews funk everything up?
pshhhh come on now ! wow !
There’s something that just seems so right to see Dave and John sharing a stage. 🔥 🔥 🔥
Two of my favorites!
One of John’s first ‘big boy’ acoustic guitars was a Dave Matthews signature Martin!
I’m gonna always refer to this one as All Along the Stairway To Heaven
I have seen and heard a lot of versions also. This might’ve been the best.
They turned All Along The Watchtower into the ending of Stairway to Heaven. Awesome jam!
Yup... I've heard it too. Total play on Page/Plant at the end there.
Dave does that often
yeah I'm sitting here and like is that stairway I hear?
As a massive DMB fan, I'm actually blown away with the amount of respect the ENTIRE band gives Dave. They are covering a DMB song. Yes, Dave didn't write it. But this is very clearly DMB's watchtower.
Me too. Especially when they already have their own version of the song, but chose to do Dave's.
But they covered Stairway to Heaven?
@@AlexMoss002 Dave usually does a stairway to heaven bit in his watchtower cover
Bob Dylan....1967
@@paparomeroalpha we know
That’s a whole lot of firepower on one stage.
John staring over at 7:05 being like, "Ya see what I'm doing here?" And Dave looking back like, "Yup!".
Amazing, unforgettable… this will be burned into our collective musical psyche forever! Thank you for sharing this. Namaste 😌
18 Year old Mayer was absolutely loving this. Stoked the did the DMB version. Sounded great.
The makes me have hope that it will continue on… the music never stops!

@2v_5r84 Right Peeps really lack Reading Comprehension LOL
That harmonizing at 7:05 between JM and DM insane
Omgosh YAAASSSS!!!!!🎉❤
The Stairway nod….
For John to pick that up on the fly is super impressive.
Hey NO STAIRWAY! 😤
@@MikeKingJSMto pick up on two notes? Its really not. Its way within his skill level and is honestly pretty basic.

It’s fantastic! Two of my favorites in one place JM and DMB! Wishing now I would have seen a Dead and Company show!
When Matthews was 'howling' towards the end, this could've seamlessly transitioned to Stairway to Heaven. How frikin' awesome would that've been.
I was at the show and thought they were about to lead into it, would have been amazing.
He usually does go into the second part of stairway. He did it this year at Ruoff

@@davidprem2951 Ah, true!
Greatness is complimented by imitation and extrapolation.
Bob Dylan wrote it. Hendrix made it famous.
can still feel the chills in my spine from this night. I remember being in disbelief when John introduced Dave onto the stage.

Wow! I didn’t catch that the first time around! Such a cool awesome moment!!!!
Listen and you shall receive
DMB has been working that in for a while now. Prolly just an extension of that.
I was at these 3 shows , still buzzing from all the amazing songs,,jams,,people and environment..Long live All things Dead 🙏. Bravo gentlemen.
This 3 show run will always be one of my favorite memories
I felt this song in my chest, and have watched it many times. Wow! Thank you for posting this.
This. Is. Fucking. Awesome.!!!!!
Thanks for posting :)
man, would be good to see john play 41 with DMB again :)
Loved how John played some stairway licks and Dave threw in some choir parts from stairway what a jam❤️💀
John Mayer teasing with Stairway to Heaven solo at the end. Very cool!!!
And Dave picking that up and throwing some Stairway vocals a few measures later. That was gold.
@@kaseigunsou Dave/DMB does that pretty regularly.
Grew up on Dave and my love for the jam lead me to the Dead. This is the collab I always wanted ❤❤❤

Love.
But same answer basically.
❤❤❤
20 years ago dmb open for the dead. Dave did Watch Tower. New fan that day and still a fan❤❤❤❤
Actually it was 1993
just keeps getting better and better, what a band, what a musician

Blessed to have been there to witness this magic.
I am a long time DMB fan. So happy to see him have this moment.
All along the stairway to Heaven 🔥
