I was laying in a hospital bed with covid in April, and scanned my TH-cam for some rock.....I happened upon Cortez, and I swear to God that it made me want to get out of that place and live gain! Sound ridiculous but Warren Haynes guitar lifted me.....and Im here to tell the tale. I will be a DMB fan for the rest of my days. Thank you You Tube for making this vid available......Just the best!!!!
You should check out Govt Mule, or Warren's solo stuff, it's how I imagine heaven sounds.
I wish you all the best ! I had covid too ! I got over it almost! Music like this is beautiful ! Hugs and Greetings from Kiel Germany!
Music is magical!
Wish I would have thought of this sooner. Speedy recovery from a fellow survivor! Mine was real bad. I have a new outlook on life. Glad to hear you are doing fine. Music is so healing. 🧡
very nice...good that you are back in Life. I love this song. Take Care
I’m at home with stage 4 cancer. Your music soothes me and tells me that life not so bad Thankyou Dave and band❤😂
Prayers to you! I am a stage IV cancer survivor. I hope you're doing well. 🙏
God bless you. Stay up and kick this brother.
I do know what you are talking about, brother
GOD our Father. Please look down upon the infirm and heal them that they may continue to follow your WORD. Through Jesus Christ, the SON. AMEN.
Hold on my friend.. Life is good. Life is pain... Life is good..
My little sister died on Christmas Eve morning this year. She was a music promoter in Portland Oregon a while back. She lost one of her legs due to a tragedy, and never really regained her self-confidence after that. And she always wanted to 'dance with the dolphins'. I can't imagine a more fitting tribute to someone who so selflessly spent her life trying to help everyone she loved in life (me especially...and we used to be 'boogie-partners' back in our youth...a million years ago). I picture her now as a beautiful spirit 'walking across the water' with her arms outstretched...and 'her legs are straight and strong'. .Thank-you for this.
Im so sorry, its going to be ok.
Damn I can't Imagine how much that hurts 😢
Wow your story so moved me when you think of how difficult this journey and the most undeserving circumstances occur that affect you directly , you have to ask yourself …what is my fate that I to endure and experience such sorrow …. ??? And as I listen to this for the first time , I am moved by your connection and comment s.. bless you … it some times defies reason but music has this magical power to ameliorate theses disturbances … and tragedies ! Music reflects our humanity to heal educate and become the amazing partner in our journey that is so magical and a gift for all no of us to embrace !!! My deepest sympathies to you !!❤😢
@@richardprins9677Thank you Richard. This is beautiful.
@@robinloving81 thank you for sharing a very personal experience that few have ever had to be numbed by !!! May your sister rest in peace ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😓🌎
One of the greatest rock drummers working today.
He was having a blast back there!!!
Absolutely. His enjoyment says it all ! He’s so in the groove. Perfection.
mag sein und kaut Kaugummi.
Carter Beauford is my favorite drummer. Super pocket machine with style and emotion.
He did a great job, but are the gloves really necessary? Spoiler alert! NO! In fact, they reduce dexterity.
How did Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Carmen Apiece, John Bonham, Billy Cobham (to name just a few greats) do it without gloves? These kids nowadays are so soft!😅
My 76 yr dad came around my place it was July 2020 wet cold in Australia
We sat on the couch flicking thru TH-cam he’s my mentor of music
Floyd n Neil young huge influences in our lives he said put Cortez the killer on ide never really listened to it to be honest we did the NY then he said put Dave Mathew’s n WH on ………….
I was blown away, fixated, spellbound
My dad got up and left for home
That was the last time I saw my dad
He passed away that week
We were so close
He left me with this gift
Beautiful
My dads exit from this world was magic
I love this song means the world to me like you did to me dad ❤
Much love from the Us my friend. He knew what is good
Solid
There is no doubt in the reason that everyone wants to play with Warren Haynes.. he’s simply incredible!!!!
One of the best😁
Warren was the backbone of what was left of the Allmann Brothers. I give Derrric Trucks a thumbs up as well.
I love his cool spirit! He's my favorite!
Take a look at the band when the song is over, they are stunned at what they heard. Warren took that song to somewhere special. Typical Warren Haynes, the guy can play anything. He's amazing.
i find myself coming back to this song and listening to it over and over again...not wanting it to end. Listen with headphones...amazing
Same here John Cortez,with headphones no doubt!
These 2 together are utter perfection. This is in the top 5 of my favorite songs of all time. But, in my opinion, when Dave & Warren did this song in the Central Park Concert, it was much better. The video is here on TH-cam
Fuk. I'm getting my headphones! I've listened to this about a dozen times, but not with my phones.
Oh man❤️❤️❤️
I'll give this a shot with headphones than. Along with Dire Straits 'Brothers in Arms'. Thank you.
Can't believe this iconic ballad was so masterfully done with two incredible slide virtuosos by Reynolds and Haynes
The gods are rejoicing
❤❤❤
Wow
┻━┻ ヘ╰( •̀ε•́ ╰)
❤
There should really be a love button for this.❤
I had a bar in Saigon and everyday my first customer was a native American guy from New Mexico. With his first beer he would request this song. I never got tired of it
When was that?
Чувак, да ты крут!!
I just want to listen to it over and over again!! As I have for years🎊🎊🍾❤️
Me too

I am right now, beautiful last day of my birthday weekend on the patio grillin and jammin to this.💜💜💜
I can't believe it...but I like the Shine on you crazy diamond version of Gov. Mule more then Pink Floyd version...Warren is just incredible...love him
Me too...❤
Drummer just relaxed as hell .. how is he so good?
Love Neil but this is by far the greatest version of this song I have ever heard at 73!!!!!!!
he created it so I guess he’s fine with it
Beautiful rendition of this masterpiece by Neil. I’m 73 and grateful to have lived hearing such great musicians and songs.
Absolutely amazing - Amen ❤🙏👍🌠🎆🎶‼️🃏🎸🎸😲
I listened and hung out with Neil back in Atlanta in the 70's and 80's and I listened to Greg and Warren and hung out with in Atlanta and Macon and Jax in the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's and I listened to and watched Dave in the 80s and the 90s in Athens. I'm sitting here 2024 with all my brothers and sisters dying and it makes me feel sad, but watching this show in MSG makes me feel much better. I've seen Cortez the Killer before, so many times, at little stages and at the big circuses, but this was truly an excellent rendition. Warren, Dave, and Tim look so happy and that makes me feel glad. Unfortunately, I think to myself that there are very few of us left. God bless you guys Knocking on heaven's door... Peace love and the Grateful... Keep the faith no matter what happens 00/00
God bless brorher, I have listened to Neil Young since my early teens, got to see him play numerous times in Ireland where I live, in 2019 he played in Kilkenny where I live on the same bill as Bob Dylan, they preformed together for one song on stag, Dreams came true at that moment, I had just survived a brain tumour and I was one of the first concert back attending. God bless and take care. Brenny
@@brenny2506 thank you, for sharing Brenny. One of my best friends in my teens in Georgia was Irish, I believe, from Mayo County, but I am not sure. I'm Italian and he's Irish and we hit it off pretty well and for a long time. We went to many shows across the southeast United States. I too, have had a major injury from a fall in the mountains. I get around good though, I'm thankful to Jesus Christ to be alive. I still get around well and hopefully, have a decade or two left in me, lord willin'. I've always wanted to see Van Morrison and The Chieftains. I imagine you have had a chance to see them many times. Anyway, keep in touch. I'll try to figure out a way to give you my email. KTF,JB✌️
L
@@danagrove6472 why would you post L do you know Warren or Dave. Maybe I'm not clear as what the L stands for to you.
@@danagrove6472 well after looking at your channel I understand now... There is so much static, but I got one for you. I worked for Jerry Cantrell senior on a short project for Amoco and he was about as brain dead as Jerry Jr. and you are. Heroin leads to nowhere in hell, as well as, opioids without medical necessity. Do you even know what Cortez the Killer is about?
The more I watch Warren Haynes the more in awe I am of his talent.
He plays great and not too bad of a singer either.
Warren is grossly underrated!!!!!!!!
@@miketaylor775 agreed. He’s easily one of the best guitarists in the world.
Never heard him till this. I am hooked!
@@theresewalters1696 lucky me. I get to see him live tomorrow night!
The best Cortez the Killer I've ever heard. Music is magic. It reaches the deepest levels of the soul. Kudos!
Check out the version at Central Park some years before. Very special.
Agreed. This is my favourite version too. It’s magnificent. Soulful, as you say. But it’s also the perfect tempo. It has Great dynamic range in the second half. The Crescendo in the last 2 or 3 minutes trumps every other rendition I’ve ever heard. All the band members are great - Warren too, but that’s a given! - but the drummer is fantastic. His precision, and passion, lays down the most solid foundation for everyone else. He’s really enjoying it too !
@@racl1954 I’m guessing you mean the 2003 gig at Central Park ? Warren Haynes joined them there for this song too. That concert was released as a three CD album, and I have the album. As good as that Cortez performance is, it falls well short of this 2018 rendition. It was shorter ( only around 11 mins ) and lacks much of the soul and passion that we got here. Unfortunately this later concert hasn’t been released on CD. 😢
My lord that was special
This song makes my heart cry, the lyrics, the chords, the musicians... Thank you Neil, Dave, Warren and band members.
Dave Matthews is showing serious signs of why him & his band are brilliant 👌
The tightest band in existence
I don't disagree on any level, DMB have been my favorite band since I first heard them in the early 90s. But there is way more than that going on here. Sure, there's the band, and of course Dave... but then Warren Haynes adds a whole great vibe and energy, AND it's a Neil Young tune. This performance is a crunchy jam sammich.
Have been from the jump.
This is the apex of mankind and music. I've never seen live music done better.
This is honestly unreal. Everything fit. Everything grooved. There aren't many words to describe this performance.Wow.
That's the best I can do.
Our best is all anyone can ask of us
For me, watching Warren is like going to church.
Hey, hey three yrs ago i, posted. Wow times sure do fly right by. Dave, Warren spectacular for jammin together. Yall rock !!! Still amazed . .music as good as it gets, right down to the marrow❤....
I've seen this 100 times and it still knocks me out every single time
same same
It's so much better than NEIL YOUNG
Was there for it. Best 20 min of music I have heard in a long time
A spiritual experience truly
Absolutely
I'm 200 years old, a veteran of the Civil War. This is quite good
Me too! What unit were you in?
Damn. Me too
That drummer “Kicks Ass”!!!
I keep going back to this song it's completely timeless
THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND... MR. WARREN HAYNES!!!
In my opinion, this is the best performance Warren has ever given. He slays the inner guitar in us all.
Watch him do shine on you crazy diamond. Plays it all his own but it is still perfect. Best warren that I have found.
Don't care which is best - you two argue that out. I'm just going to the playground to hear the sliding(Warren), the classical touches(Tim), and singing (Dave). The rest are great, too
Never saw Dave's bass player so serious...darn good player, drummer i love always, those keyboards..Come on. Thanks Neil Young, they did this so so FANTASTIC you went down in History AGAIN!!! 🌿
Vb
Liking is subjective but may I kindly suggest this version, which I think kick ass to all other cover versions: th-cam.com/video/6QjIHnb5Ivs/w-d-xo.html
GOT THAT RIGHT, BROTHER!!! 🕴🏾🕴🏾🕴🏾
Of course Warren and the guitar boys are magic that we can’t forget the beat of that drummer and very talented keyboard player! My hats off to one of the best jam sessions I have ever heard! Masterful !
Cortez the killer is by far my favorite song by Neil young...and dmb nails it with help from warren Haynes. Back in the day Mr Haynes hosted a New years Eve jam party there in asheville, NC. I was fortunate enough to make the cut back in '91. I don't recall the line up. Only warren locking the doors at 2am?
Monumental!!!
Who is playing keys? I agree ❤
@@vansullivan236 That would Buddy Strong on the keys... newest member since roughly mid-2018 when they released "Come Tomorrow" and then he joined them full-time since as a defacto replacement for Boyd Tinsley. Buddy also sings back grounds on several songs as well shares vocals with Dave on a few tracks from the newest album released this past May.
This is the most EPIC version of Cortez EVER.
I think I’ve watched this 400 times in the last month..
Dave and Warren Haynes. Blows me of my mind. Thank you legends!
Thanks Neil for this masterpiece. And thanks Warren and Dave for this great cover.
they gave us all a kick ass song thanks fellas.

DMB AWESOME
Every once in a while the Universe comes together for one beautiful moment. And this is it!!! Wonderfully heart wrenching ❤️
Those words sound a bit john fogartyish
Lol...its still good tho
Really good. 😘😘😘
Fantastic beautiful simply said- mesmerising sounds! I would go nuts 🥜 witnessing live such a performance 🎭!
Some quite Righteous Guitar 🎸 picking here. I would love to see Butch Trucks play a slide verse of this one...
I love Warren's technique.
THE best cover of this song ever made. One of my all time favorite Neil Young songs and this cover is amazing. Props to everyone in the Dave Matthews band and Warren's legendary guitar work.
Просто охренеть. Очень забористый рок.
Yes, i came here to say just that - best cover ever of Cortez the Killer. 🌿
Check out the Grace Potter and Stevie Vai cover of this song.
sorry grace potter and joe Satriani
Warren & Marc Ford is the best imho.
One of the very finest pieces of art I have seen in so long. I hate to say it but he took Neil’s beautiful anthem and almost made it his own.
Love me some Neil Young
Me too......
From what I've read, his is a prodigy. What a gift he has given us. Beautiful........
Warren always brings it, no matter the genre, no matter the fellow musicians. Truly one of the greats of all time.
I am not sick in a bed… but feel for those who are!! But to listen to this song😩😩🙌 ✨✨ will make you think of long times past!! It has meaning!! Cortez turned into a killer!!! This song is based on “ a true story “ but the amazing music makes it feel just like a jam song!!! Dave Mathew’s and Warren Haynes 😩👌✨✨💕💕💕💕💕✨ it’s a classic gem for sure!!! I have it on my play list in the top choice👌🤩✨💕💕💕
I am 69 years old and that makes me a Boomer (not a submarine) and I've seen so many great guitar players come and go but I have to admit that Warren Haynes is right up there with them all.
Sonora108 I am with you on that!
Yes, 61 here
i agree he is tops i believe.
Bless you
64 here have you heard that young fella Bonamassa? This was very nice....took me back
God bless Neil Young ... I first heard this song as I embarked on an advanced alipine ice climbing course ... it was a moment in my life ... that I survived... and emerged into a real life ... that I never regretted.
I was there. Magical.
I’m jealous . So good .
NOW THIS is a Jamm session 👍
I think about songs I can listen to 24/7. This is one of them.
That version is so damn good it's off the planet......Thank you Warren thank you Dave and Co
This never gets old. Warren is Masterful!
Dave (like I know him) had a run on radio mass play. But he has made world class music for a long time. Still kick back headphones on and listen to his music. Never lets me down.
I’m building a snowman statue of him in the morning. 👍
The 🐐 That is NEIL.YOUNG.
Yep
This just blew me away. At 72 still love the real stuff.
ALAN HART .."... I can give you an extra couple of years, and it's the same for me. Been loving Warren, the Allmans and this music since Duane's time. And I am English. Stay safe across the pond.
@@torfrida6663 I am English as well but just love good music, it will never die. Trying to get my 7years old grandson interested, it takes time. Warren Haynes is awesome and Dave Mathews gives him full reign. Stay safe in these uncertain times.
@@alanhart2081 " Speak out against the madness." Out the filth behind the orchestrated plandemic and chaos wreaked upon freedom. Take care.
BGs
For sure great band that's how it supposed to played no b.s.
If this doesn't grab you down deep where you live....check your pulse. The words, the guitars and the performance are beyond description.
great song just got butchered!
Absolutely unbelievable. I am crying as I type this.
Carl Litzkow terrible version the original cannot be duplicated
@@MegaBighut may not be duplicated, but song is forever no matter who does it.
@@MegaBighut I have to respectfully disagree. Plz point me in the direction of a better version.
Look, I’ve been a fan since I was 15 and yesterday was my birthday. Cortez means just as much today as it did in my most vulnerable age. I’m 46. It’s just as amazing. The message is right. Always has been. DMB. Wow.
Still one of THE BEST guitar performances of all time. Just LOVED IT.
The two blonde masters of guitar in one concert! Rocks me!!
Live performances like this are so fantastic! I've been attending live concerts for 50 years now. This is as real as it gets. Salve for the soul!
I’ve seen Dave multiple times…just saw Warren for the first time last month…always knew his talent with ABB…god he blows the audience off their feet
He'll yes! Great to see Warren again. He did this song justice.
Very Happy Drummin!💕
🎉I don't think I've heard this as good as Warren Haines, a legend and you make the Allman Brothers proud.
One of the best guitarists and performers in the World…with Dave Matthews playing backup
Do you know that we are touching the divine ,there.? Warren haynes ,bright ,modest ,plays pure Musik ,is made of a humanity that he does not even suspect himself. Pure soul.When we think how certains show off ,and this great, exceptionnal, good feeling with Dave Matthews....We are on another planet...We have to say it .Thousands thanks for making us live this
Good God in heaven amidst us,that unstoppable drummer and organ player kept everyone feeding and feeding of each other’s parts. The absolute best live performance I’ve ever seen in my lifetime ❤😮
FACTS
Frame it and store it in a museum, and declare it a priceless masterpiece. Every style of musician should be permanently humbled after witnessing this. They profoundly made your soul their audience.
But why do people hate Dave Matthews?
He's such a great person.
Long live!
The best cover of the Neil Young's best music!!!
i want to agree with ya but i have heard different genres all are special in ways and sound pretty darn good to me. we all rock
god bless the internet!!! ( when used properly!) greetings from a regiomontano living the american dream! in raleigh north carolina! wide awake! hell yeah!!!!
Not just the best cover of this song but maybe the best cover of any song ever. Change my mind.
Super concert. Love music 🍀❤️🙏🌹👌🎶🎼🎵🎸✌️🎤🎹🥁. Nice and good.
Put my beautiful son right to sleep and put beautiful chill on my arms thank you sirs❤
Warren Haynes adds another level of greatness to this tune.
La verdad una de las mejores interpretaciónes de Cortez en vivo. Espectacular; tengo 64 años y ojalá esten tdv escuchado . Paraguay Sudamérica
Simply sensational. One of the greatest cover versions I ever heard in my life. Uncle Neil did a fine job creating the song. This one by DMB is awesome. Warren Haynes ... beautiful.
Dislikes??? What in the WHAT!!!!????!!!! Dave Matthews Band never cease to amaze me!!!
Haynes & Reynolds, great cover with Dave & his band
Can’t believe how much the boths of these amazing people and artists have helped me survive throughout the years
This belongs to a motion picture,.such polyphonic upward movement in timbre, timing, tone, and the talent of Haynes, Mathews vocals and playing just an incredible piece of music. Namaste
I just found this cover and am so moved by Warrens touch and delicate play. Exquisite!
I know she’s still livin there. OMG I’m so touched
And she loves me to this day, I just can't remember how I lost my way - thanks for post.
I have to agree with all the other comments . Truly a great cover of the Neil Young original. I must research the rest of the DMB's catalogue.
I have prostate cancer and this song means everything to me . I live on Cortez the killer
First time I heard this song, I made the girl play it over and over and over.. I just kept sayjng "this is more than a song, this song is ART".. lolz
Man do they do ol’ Neil’s song justice! Not only the guitar work, but the vocals
Here we go..... I did not care for Dave Mathews before. Then I, stumbled upon Neil Youngs, "Cortez the killer" Man, many props going out to Dave and, Warren Haynes!!!! Yall, got it going on!! A Neil Young fan forever. ♡
Haynes and, Matthews the best .
Warren, the Killer what a powerful performance.....
Warren is one of the greatest guitarist of his era in the Gregg Allman band, a true legend!!..
Biggest Neil young fan in Scotland but this is the greatest cover of all time cheers Warren 😀
cover.
Tim, Warren, and Dave on the stage at the same time covering a Canadian legend is just a total masterpiece!!
This version and Central Park version are the best...listen to this often...always makes me smile.
YOWIE WOWIE...the way that performance builds is incredible. You have to let that breathe and let it climax in the finale two minutes. Amazing performance. Thank you for posting!!!
one of the best performances of Cortez.. such talented musicians pulling off incredible musicality..brings endless tears of happiness to my being
Some say perfection does not exist, I just witnessed it. Anyone who gave this a thumbs down needs instant medical treatment and a head transplant.
A friend sent me this today WOW INCREDIBLE PIECE OF MUSIC .IF YOU DONT FEEL THIS check your pulse
I don't know what with this number. Gets me so often in tears. Neil is a genius.
i'm blessed to be able to witness the talent on that stage
We love Warren Haynes we've been following him for years
For me this song is an emotional journey.
Again I say you make Neil proud what a hell of a rendition salute!!
This is the stuff that gets me higher than any drug. Hard to find such gems today. I found one right here.
The trick is not just to listen to it, but to FEEL it inside. Let your body sway with the beat and your mind move with the rest. Experience it with your entire being, and you will be in audio-Heaven.
bogdog999 yes
Spoken like someone who knows how to listen to music.
Amen brother, just "let go" and let it take you down the river of sweet licks and guitar picks. 🎷🎶🌫️🕉️
let your mind rest in the moves
I was thinking the exact same thing.
I’m 72 I’ve listen to DMB since they started having a little smoke intensifys everything
I have a cassette of this band..since my senior high school.
