About a year ago, the guy who filmed this found a previous version I had posted to TH-cam using a VHS>DVD source. He was surprised it had gotten out since he never made a copy. Here are some really cool notes about this video and the show later that night from a correspondence we had last year: ---- Hey Jay! I am Jeremy's brother, Matt, who shot the Dave Blockbuster show on my folks' old Super8 Camcorder. Jeremy didn't know if you'd respond to a once-removed request so he had mentioned shooting it. Thanks for breathing a little life into the old recording with your edit. A few notes on that day/evening: On the Blockbuster show: It was a great little show for sure. I was the one requesting "I'll back you up" For my GF who was the brunette sitting in front of me. We all got to hang with Dave a bit after and let him know I'd be taping (audio) the Daisy show that night and he called over his manager and told him to remember me in case we had any trouble, and said I could patch into the sound board. They were all very cool to deal with and Dave requested a copy of the video. Told him I'd bring him one and after chatting a bit we took off to head home and dupe the Super8 onto VHS. Only 3 copies of this Super8 were ever made, each one from the master. One for me, one for my buddy Chris (yellow hat in video), and one for Dave. Since then the master has not been played. I was intrigued to find the video had leaked. Chris said he never leaked it so it seems Dave did, which is cool. That night at the daisy I ran into some trouble getting into the venue with my sound gear (the old owner was a jackass). I eventually left my gear with Chris and went and got his manager who came to the front and laid into the owner at the door "I know you're going to let these fucking kids in with their gear, and you're going to let them plug into your board"... I recall him being pretty damn intense. Not sure if this was an ongoing issue with the venue or what. SO we got in, and he walked me down to the board with the owner following. I got set up (just crappy metal cassette tape) and let the Board guy patch me in with the owner hawking me. I set levels at the start of the show (didn't have headphones) and left my gear with the board and went down to enjoy the show... I sadly don't recall the setlist, but I recall him playing a solid 90 min set. I went back to flip/change tapes periodically. At midnight curfew he told the kids they had to leave during this set break, then they were coming back out. They did, and played what seemed like another 90 min set. It was a pretty epic show. After unplugging my gear I excitedly threw the tape in my car and gave it a listen..... clipping. Lots and lots of clipping. Not sure if the owner told him to do it or what but the board feed was distorted as shit and unlistenable (I was certain my levels were set correctly). Either way, I was the only person to my knowledge taping that night, and the recording was trash. Interesting aside, I was a bartender at Flamingos starting the year after that Dave show you sent the poster of... I had that poster/flyer on my walls all through college up at UT Knoxville. Small world. Matt
ChesterCopperpot5 OMFG!!😱😱😵😵, this set my soul on 🔥!!! Thank you SO much Matt, and thank you Dave!! This is a treasure! Is there, by any chance, MORE??
Could you imagine? Sitting so calming in a Blockbuster, no phones, just chillin' listening to Dave? Seems UNREAL! Would love to travel back in time for that!
@@aWomanFreed yea like 1 in 1500 people had one though! Most had car phones if any at all. My dad had a phone installed in his 85 Dodge Ram truck and it was expensive as hell. I still remember the mic hanging from the sun visor lol. But their were no smart phones for people to stare at.
Here I am 20 years later. Dave Matthews and James Taylor inspired me to start. Tip for Dave, the right hand does half if not more of the work (Jack Johnson may be a good palm-mute player to learn from first) Cat Stevens, Paul Simon, Darrell Scott - all inspiring songwriter/acoustic guitar players as well.
Hey buddy, same here! I didn’t take lessons, taught myself everything! Just gotta play and feel it! I saw Dave in Omaha a few months ago. He’s still incredible. If you can go to a show!
This was the year I first discovered Dave. I heard The Best of What's Around in 1994 at 13 years old. Have been a fan ever since. Just saw him play at SPAC 2 nights ago & made me tear up just thinking about how much I miss those days. Time really flies so enjoy the things that bring you joy.
Dave is such an authentic soul. At a time when every kid was listening to grunge, here comes this dude with his whimsical riffs and nasal raspy voice not giving a rat’s ass if what he was doing was what everybody wanted/expected him to do. I wonder how those folks in the audience felt about that unique style which later became his trademark. Such a legend.
I agree. I was 14, didn't have a care and thought I had amazing things ahead. Turns out I was less than a decade away from prison where I then spent most of the next two decades. Not how I pictured life. Dave's music kept me ground to a better world.
As someone who studies a ton of music across all genres, it baffles me that more people don’t discuss his guitar playing and song writing. These songs are so unique and foreign to the average songs that get put out. Ever notice that bar bands don’t cover them a lot? His songs are hard to play on guitar.
I am a guitarist for 40 years now and in muliti bands performing dmb songs. He is wayyyyyyy underated but then you go see the dmb in concert and see the best concert ever.
For real. Was psyched to see this video as Im always wondering how to play some of his stuff on guitar. I can never understand why its so hard for people to just shut the fuck up and get off their phones at concerts, so rude.
This was up the street from my job and I couldn’t leave, but I did see him at The New Daisy that night. He looks like a baby. I forgot how young he looked that night. Thanks for the memories.
@@aWomanFreed you think he made a deal with devil? or someone else wrote those? which is impossible if you know about his odd guitar style and chord voicings
@@kevinr.3542 you’ve obv heard him live….he’s always belching out weird sounds in between songs….he’s got NOTHING to say that’s anywhere near as deep as his song lyrics…and why is he singing about the devil, like, constantly? Whatever, I’m not trying to convince you. Keep your illusions if u wish. No way Dave is “Some Devil”….right?
yo this is actually an incredible recording and i thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting it. theres only a key few songs/artists that can make me feel 14 again and the innocence of that age. and its Dave. singing by himself some of the GREATEST songs hes ever written and from the TIME in which he wrote them. holy cow THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These guys are my favorite musicians of all time. The musicianship is hands down the best I have ever experienced, and to see them is an experience... A spiritual experience.
Thank you for this video. I heard DMB for the first time when I was 17 during the summer of '94. I had just graduated HS, and was at a friend's bonfire. He played some of their music for everyone, and it was unlike anything I had heard. I was hooked. At almost 42, I'm still a fan, and watching this makes me incredibly sentimental and so happy. Thank you.
This is truly incredible to see Dave as a baby here ! Amazing..he sounds just the same. I saw him for the first time in 1995 a year after this. This is the best. Beautiful Dave.
This is priceless. I was a freshman in HS when this was recorded. My first Dave concert wasn’t until 4 years after 1998 in Tampa. I’ve been to close to 25 since. I could just jump into this video with my Skidz and British Knights and Sony disc-man. Great video! So nostalgic
My 1st DMB show was also Tampa 98’ !! Ice Palace … went to get tix & was sold out - was so pissed - then heard on the radio 2 weeks later they opened more seats ‘obstructed view’ - i was like who cares?! Its Dave! Our seats ended up being directly behind & above the stage - I swear he played half the show with his back to the crowd - it was an amazing show - I was a lifer - I have seen him probably 20 times since. They are unbelievable. Dave is a legend - RIP LeRoi - DMB music will live on forever
As an 80s baby, and knowing and remembering the 90s- cuz I lived it and loved it- this is the best of the 90s you can get! COPPERPOT DOES IT AGAIN!!!!!!!
Enjoy your life guys. Travel, drink 🍷 with your friends and family, laugh and eat, make love ❤️ in the most intense way. Go see the world 🌎 and live life because, like me, you are twenty years old listening to Dave in 99 and you blink and you’re now 37 years old. I still have time, and what I’ve had of it though I was late, but boy have I had an AMAZING time! So, time waits for no one - get up and go!
absolutely amazing! I was in NC listening to Ants Marching on the radio but really wish then I knew this was going on just 4 hrs away 😢 My first concert was then in 96....
Omg!!! This is awesome!!! I’ve been sipping on some bourbon and just imagining being there. I had just turned 14 when this happened, I wish I had heard of Dave Matthews then. I never realized Satellite and Dancing Nancies were already sung by him at this time!!! I can really hear how his voice has changed since … still great!
Amazing find. Thanks for posting. A couple months later we were playing nothing but Dave Matthews at work.... the U.S. Male store in the Mall of Memphis. A place long gone like Blockbuster... :-)
I saw this video a few years ago. I remember watching his fingers dance around the neck and thought “I might be able to do that.” One thing led to another and I started learning to play the guitar. It’s been one of the best things that have happened me, and Dave indirectly caused it to take place. Thanks Dave!
im listening to all of these fantastic songs, 24 years after this was recorded, and dave still sounds the same today. This is a real gem, thank you so much for finding/posting this and thank you to those that made the original recording
All the love in the world to Dave!!! Watching this video, and picturing him and DMB rocking sold-out concerts now... it’s AWESOME! Wish I was there for this...
I am convinced almost anything can be found online. I saw DMB pre-fame in 1993 or 1994 in Johnson City TN. So great this is in TN too. And yes he sounded exactly like this. We all loved him. He was a basic unknown starting to get better known. Beautiful voice.
Wow! Thanks for sharing this amazing video! I first listened to DMB driving through Colorado to Aspen back in 98 and have been a die hard fan ever since. I could listen to him sing and play all day. He is such a talented guy.
Searched for this footage right now but couldn’t find it because I was searching “DMB barns and noble”… it was in a Blockbuster?! Jesus. This is beyond words amazing.
This is amazing! I’m watching the beginning right now, and it’s interesting to hear how many people are talking while he’s playing. Little did they know that he would become absolutely huge! Thank you so much for posting this!
There was just something fantastic about going to a record or video store to look at movies and music. Going online for it all takes a huge piece of that experience and leaves an empty space!
My parents were at a coffee shop in 69’ or 70’ and Don McLean played American Pie. They tell the story - as they left the were singing it and heard it on the radio a few weeks later. How lucky to be there…or at this Blockbuster in 1994!
Omg, that's funny man, Jimmy Buffett's "Fruitcake" in the background playing at 05:46. I started college that fall of '94 and both of these artists were on the radio constantly; "Ants Marching, Satellite, and What Would You Say". It wasn't till 1996 when "Crash Into Me" got me hooked on DMB accompanying my life's adventure. We're gonna see them this September.
Me too. I was 14 listening to this stuff. 40 now. Hate to say it but after before these crowded streets I think it was downhill. Wish they'd go back to basics. Then again maybe I'm just old.
And in this one acoustic set we got: 1. A beautiful early recording of what would turn into be one of the most groundbreaking debut albums of all rock/alternative music and 2. The reason dave doesn’t take yelled out requests anymore😂❤️🦏🐘
For all those complaining about the talking which I can’t stand either...I kind of find it refreshing....if this were today it would be totally silent while everyone stared at their phones ignoring the amazing talent right in front of them.
Well he was just fanastic from day one wasn't he our little world renowned rock star Davey boy. Still meets his fans face to face up that back road up behind the Gorge every year I believe. Walks among them elbow to elbow. No one would dare step out of line. His power is palpable. Almost scary.
Wow...I was a junior/senior in H.S. when Dave did this. I vividly remember “Under the Table n Dreaming” coming out and rocking my world. To,see this over 20 years later made me pause.....and appreciate what I remember....and to se Dave a a virgin.....it was interesting in my mind to say the lest.

Thank you for taking the time to write out this dissection of memory! Awesome story and context to the film.
the internet can be such a great place...
Chester Copperpot still lives on! Must be a Goonie! Love the video! Wow! Just awesome! Dave sounds great! His music is timeless!
ChesterCopperpot5 OMFG!!😱😱😵😵, this set my soul on 🔥!!! Thank you SO much Matt, and thank you Dave!! This is a treasure! Is there, by any chance, MORE??
ChesterCopperpot5 thanks this is fantastic
If Dave kept doing this, Blockbuster would never have gone out of business.
but Dave would've
Dave Matthews, playing a solo acoustic set at Blockbuster's. I don't think it gets any more '90s than this.
Austin Mistretta maybe some parachute pants for good measure
Idb Indie Dashboard same!
Kevin R. Parachute pants were an 80s thing.
Bust out the Capri suns!!!
Maybe if he had on a fanny pack and some slap bracelets
The 90s was an absolutely great time for music. Creativity was off the charts.
people really dont talk about the 90s enough but maybe enough time hasnt passed yet still
Could you imagine? Sitting so calming in a Blockbuster, no phones, just chillin' listening to Dave? Seems UNREAL! Would love to travel back in time for that!
And apparently Carter was just chilling next to you
We had cell phones, no internet tho
No phones, but thank god for the one guy with a giant VHS camcorder!
@@aWomanFreed yea like 1 in 1500 people had one though! Most had car phones if any at all. My dad had a phone installed in his 85 Dodge Ram truck and it was expensive as hell. I still remember the mic hanging from the sun visor lol. But their were no smart phones for people to stare at.
Would you tell him?☺️
This is the holy grail of Dave footage
I’m 16 years old and i started taking guitars lessons because of Dave. He inspires me so much
That’s awesome bro, hope it’s going great! If it gets tough just remember you can do anything you put your time and effort into, keep it up!
Here I am 20 years later. Dave Matthews and James Taylor inspired me to start.
Tip for Dave, the right hand does half if not more of the work (Jack Johnson may be a good palm-mute player to learn from first)
Cat Stevens, Paul Simon, Darrell Scott - all inspiring songwriter/acoustic guitar players as well.
Hey buddy, same here! I didn’t take lessons, taught myself everything! Just gotta play and feel it! I saw Dave in Omaha a few months ago. He’s still incredible. If you can go to a show!
And so the wheel turns...
You couldn't be inpsired by a better musician imo
Same reason I started 15 years ago, seeing this comment is like looking into the past, love it.
This was the year I first discovered Dave. I heard The Best of What's Around in 1994 at 13 years old. Have been a fan ever since. Just saw him play at SPAC 2 nights ago & made me tear up just thinking about how much I miss those days. Time really flies so enjoy the things that bring you joy.
Dave is the most talented songwriter I have ever heard. He has brought so much goodness to my life, I love this man.
He didn’t write these songs. I think Stephan did.
Dave is such an authentic soul. At a time when every kid was listening to grunge, here comes this dude with his whimsical riffs and nasal raspy voice not giving a rat’s ass if what he was doing was what everybody wanted/expected him to do. I wonder how those folks in the audience felt about that unique style which later became his trademark. Such a legend.
Can’t believe he was this brilliant at such a young age. And 30 years later the songs have aged extremely well
Easy now I was born that year. I’m not 30 yet guy.
I wish I could relive my life starting in 94. I never realized how good I had it back then.
best quote of the day
I think you when you die you actually get to do that.
Back when we didn’t stare at our phones incessantly
I agree. I was 14, didn't have a care and thought I had amazing things ahead. Turns out I was less than a decade away from prison where I then spent most of the next two decades. Not how I pictured life. Dave's music kept me ground to a better world.
Join the club.

These songs are so unique and foreign to the average songs that get put out. Ever notice that bar bands don’t cover them a lot? His songs are hard to play on guitar.
Especially hard to play and sing
Me too!! Just listen to "the stone" my god hes difficult..uniquely ahead and on top of his skills!
Very true very difficult to play but also even harder to sing on top of, he truly is an original songwriter because he sounds like nothing before him
I am a guitarist for 40 years now and in muliti bands performing dmb songs. He is wayyyyyyy underated but then you go see the dmb in concert and see the best concert ever.
I completely agree. I always have to get ppl to see this as a cover by someone else for them to get it. The “Crash” album blew my mind. Just love
This is great. I had to look it up for context. He was 27 years old and Under The Table and Dreaming came out 49 days after this was filmed. So cool!
He was 24 during this he was born in January 1970 I'm pretty sure
im in heaven , Dave is young again, and so am I when i watch this takes me back to a time of some amazing memories
Absolutely left no doubt after watching this...the amount of talent this man possesses was no doubt going to take him places he never dreamed of
Came expecting to listen to 5 minutes. Stayed. This is the Dave I grew up on. Great find.
It’s amazing people can’t shut the hell up for a minute and just listen
Michael DeMatteis this happened even when he played solo in Cleveland this year...
Michael DeMatteis i know right..
Drives me fucking nuts. No one respects the art anymore.
Michael DeMatteis right on.
For real. Was psyched to see this video as Im always wondering how to play some of his stuff on guitar. I can never understand why its so hard for people to just shut the fuck up and get off their phones at concerts, so rude.
This was up the street from my job and I couldn’t leave, but I did see him at The New Daisy that night. He looks like a baby. I forgot how young he looked that night. Thanks for the memories.
Crazy he had all these amazing compositions in his back pocket already at this point. Dude was on his game
I'm pretty sure he already had 1 or 2 albums out at this point crazy enough.
And they're still some of the best
Not possible. Someone/something else definitely was involved.
@@aWomanFreed you think he made a deal with devil? or someone else wrote those? which is impossible if you know about his odd guitar style and chord voicings

I fucking miss the 90s. I was young too. Great times.
I was 20. And so proud to be listening at 48. Love you Dave. I will be with you till the end.
yo this is actually an incredible recording and i thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting it.
theres only a key few songs/artists that can make me feel 14 again and the innocence of that age.
and its Dave. singing by himself some of the GREATEST songs hes ever written and from the TIME in which he wrote them.
holy cow THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alex Knight... These guys? You see 'these guys'? You're still stoned! 😎
Oak is probably a big Imagine Dragons fan. DMB just can't compete.
Exactly yes, just as designed when they took over for the Grateful Dead
Thank you for this video. I heard DMB for the first time when I was 17 during the summer of '94. I had just graduated HS, and was at a friend's bonfire.

It’s nostalgic and timeless stuff such as this that makes you realize what a gem Dave’s music is for all of us.
This is truly incredible to see Dave as a baby here ! Amazing..he sounds just the same. I saw him for the first time in 1995 a year after this. This is the best. Beautiful Dave.
That t shirt and short combo is just about the greatest 90s style there is
This is priceless. I was a freshman in HS when this was recorded. My first Dave concert wasn’t until 4 years after 1998 in Tampa. I’ve been to close to 25 since. I could just jump into this video with my Skidz and British Knights and Sony disc-man. Great video! So nostalgic

British Nights!! WooooHooooo. I had a pair!
As an 80s baby, and knowing and remembering the 90s- cuz I lived it and loved it- this is the best of the 90s you can get!
COPPERPOT DOES IT AGAIN!!!!!!!
Just got back from seeing him in Bend Oregon 8.28.18 and he still delivers 110%.
Wow this was the day before I was born... Dave is just as amazing now as he was back then. Legend!
Wow, just wow! So cool to see Dave in that type of setting before they became huge. Such an awesome musician!
Under the Table is still my favorite album of his. The songs were so well crafted
Same
I was there!! @Poplar&Highland!! Somebody recorded that?!? YEAH!!!!
Dave Matthews (Band) is like 80 % of the reason I know how to play the guitar.
Same. I can play basically every DMB song and very little else ha.
Who wouldn't be inspired
Same
Going 99% for myself
what's the other 20%?
Enjoy your life guys.
Travel, drink 🍷 with your friends and family, laugh and eat, make love ❤️ in the most intense way.
Go see the world 🌎 and live life because, like me, you are twenty years old listening to Dave in 99 and you blink and you’re now 37 years old.
I still have time, and what I’ve had of it though I was late, but boy have I had an AMAZING time!
So, time waits for no one - get up and go!
If you were 20 in 99 shouldn't you be 39 or 40?
Yeah sorry I was 17
I love this man thanks i needed that push
Thought I was going to do all those things ... Went to prison instead. Twenty years come and go in good times or bad.
This just made my day. This video is absolute GOLD.
Whatching in 2021! Dave is already in 1994! I'm really enjoy his work! Amazing! This is a real music!
Let's not forget these early days.... first just one step
TEFFT PATTERN sup bud. Love you miss you.
absolutely amazing! I was in NC listening to Ants Marching on the radio but really wish then I knew this was going on just 4 hrs away 😢 My first concert was then in 96....
Well done, well done Matt and Copperpot! Thank you
Amazing video and Daves voice hasn’t changed, truly inspiring!
Tysm 🙏
I spent a month in Maryland back in -95 and totally fell for Dave and his band. This is just the Dave that i fell for.
Omg!!! This is awesome!!! I’ve been sipping on some bourbon and just imagining being there. I had just turned 14 when this happened, I wish I had heard of Dave Matthews then. I never realized Satellite and Dancing Nancies were already sung by him at this time!!! I can really hear how his voice has changed since … still great!
Yeah this video is an important historical document. Not quite sure why but it captures something about this particular time and place.
Amazing find. Thanks for posting. A couple months later we were playing nothing but Dave Matthews at work.... the U.S. Male store in the Mall of Memphis. A place long gone like Blockbuster... :-)
I am just really happy I got to see this. Whoever posted this thank you making my night.
This screams '90's...Dave Matthews & Blockbuster. Hell yeah!!
I saw this video a few years ago. I remember watching his fingers dance around the neck and thought “I might be able to do that.” One thing led to another and I started learning to play the guitar. It’s been one of the best things that have happened me, and Dave indirectly caused it to take place. Thanks Dave!
Love you all 😂
How precious to see young Dave performing these gems flawlessly, then like now ❤
He’s pretty good. If he sticks with it, gets a band behind him, he could have some success. Good luck kid!
im listening to all of these fantastic songs, 24 years after this was recorded, and dave still sounds the same today. This is a real gem, thank you so much for finding/posting this and thank you to those that made the original recording
Love
28 years!!
This is the mid 90's in a nutshell. So many nights spent in college back than listening to Dave while driving to Blockbuster to rent movies.
Vewry Excited to see this. I have not yet watched it but I bet I will be blown away. Thank you for being many generation's music.
All the love in the world to Dave!!! Watching this video, and picturing him and DMB rocking sold-out concerts now... it’s AWESOME! Wish I was there for this...
Honestly think he should do this same set at that last Blockbuster in Oregon.
What a gem of a video. Great memories.
I am convinced almost anything can be found online. I saw DMB pre-fame in 1993 or 1994 in Johnson City TN. So great this is in TN too. And yes he sounded exactly like this. We all loved him. He was a basic unknown starting to get better known. Beautiful voice.
One of the best things I've ever seen. Thank you for the nostalgia trip.
Dave is just doing his thing ! and it is truly lovely,
Wow! Thanks for sharing this amazing video! I first listened to DMB driving through Colorado to Aspen back in 98 and have been a die hard fan ever since. I could listen to him sing and play all day. He is such a talented guy.
oh my God!!!! that short !! what a young dave !!! this video is a relic. Thank you!!
The I'll back you up is beyond dope... He never plays it anymore.
Aug ‘94…..packing up for college(UT Knoxville). GREAT SUMMER. Thanks for posting!
You are loved ❤️ My first time seeing the band play live was about a year after this. Summer 1995 when they opened for the Grateful Dead in Las Vegas
This is great and awesome it was shared!!! Thanks Mr. Coppperpot!!
Unbelievable. Goosebumps. Dave is and has always been King. Thanks for sharing this!
This is a wonderful surprise! Thanks Chester for another awesome memory
The time
It went to quickly
Wow
I was 18 I'm now 42
Man I'd love to get those years back again
And now you're 47 😃
So am I
There’s nothing more 90s than Dave Matthews playing a solo acoustic set inside of a blockbuster.
Searched for this footage right now but couldn’t find it because I was searching “DMB barns and noble”… it was in a Blockbuster?! Jesus. This is beyond words amazing.
This is amazing! I’m watching the beginning right now, and it’s interesting to hear how many people are talking while he’s playing. Little did they know that he would become absolutely huge! Thank you so much for posting this!
There was just something fantastic about going to a record or video store to look at movies and music. Going online for it all takes a huge piece of that experience and leaves an empty space!
Man this video is awesome. I felt like I was there. I just got lost in it.
My parents were at a coffee shop in 69’ or 70’ and Don McLean played American Pie. They tell the story - as they left the were singing it and heard it on the radio a few weeks later. How lucky to be there…or at this Blockbuster in 1994!
Omg, that's funny man, Jimmy Buffett's "Fruitcake" in the background playing at 05:46. I started college that fall of '94 and both of these artists were on the radio constantly; "Ants Marching, Satellite, and What Would You Say". It wasn't till 1996 when "Crash Into Me" got me hooked on DMB accompanying my life's adventure. We're gonna see them this September.
The craziest shit is this is 24 years ago
we're fucking old ...damn
it's over.
Thanks for making me feel as old as I am.
Me too. I was 14 listening to this stuff. 40 now. Hate to say it but after before these crowded streets I think it was downhill. Wish they'd go back to basics. Then again maybe I'm just old.
Robert Rob 😣😣😣😣
Respect to the guy suggesting the songs
Learned a lot about how to play these tunes from this video about 10/12 years ago in the early days of YT. Thanks for the upgrade!
dpduke69 Truth!
Wow this is amazing! Cannot believe this footage just recently surfaced. Thank u for sharing 🧚♀️
So cool! I definitely watched the not so high quality version before, this is awesome!!
Carter a great roadie in the beginning and end! Same music and just classic.!
OH WOW He looks like a baby... love dave!!! Thanks Chester as always.
Dave Matthew's is such a Great talent love it ♥️
And in this one acoustic set we got: 1. A beautiful early recording of what would turn into be one of the most groundbreaking debut albums of all rock/alternative music and 2. The reason dave doesn’t take yelled out requests anymore😂❤️🦏🐘
Authentic from start to finish. What a 😎
Oh, to have seen the deep cut of all deep cuts, Spotlight, when it was still in rotation.
For all those complaining about the talking which I can’t stand either...I kind of find it refreshing....if this were today it would be totally silent while everyone stared at their phones ignoring the amazing talent right in front of them.
Well he was just fanastic from day one wasn't he our little world renowned rock star Davey boy. Still meets his fans face to face up that back road up behind the Gorge every year I believe. Walks among them elbow to elbow. No one would dare step out of line. His power is palpable. Almost scary.
what a relic of the 90s. thanks for sharing this.
What's crazy is that I would pay $5,000 to see Dave
play at at a Blockers today!
that part in the best of whts around where he does the 'ayyyy ayyy AYYYYYYYyyyy' bits MAN that gets me right in the feels
Oh my godddd, this is amazing. 3 short years before I was born. And born into a family that loved Dave. I’m a lucky girl. ❤️
Alexandra Ryan wow...so I was seeing DMB for the first time when you were born! Making me feel old
atamagashock Nonsense! Not old, just wise. ✌🏻 Peace and love, my friend!
No one cares when you were born, Millennial.
Wow...I was a junior/senior in H.S. when Dave did this. I vividly remember “Under the Table n Dreaming” coming out and rocking my world. To,see this over 20 years later made me pause.....and appreciate what I remember....and to se Dave a a virgin.....it was interesting in my mind to say the lest.
I can't believe people were even talking while he was playing. Listen to him. JFC, the guy is unbelievable.
could you imagine just happening to be walking through this store this day and THIS is what occurred??? holy SHIT.
Totally made my day. Thank you for this video!!
Such a young Dave, 27 here. He's twice that age today but only gotten better like a fine wine. Mad playing and songwriting skills.
I can't believe how clear you got it, nice
Those 10 dislikes are from those who were there, talking and still suck
