I love the beginning of this song, it's really catchy. Always makes me think of the scene in The Office where Andy is in the roller skating rink alone & asks the DJ to play Dave Matthews band, and he plays this and he says "I said no hits!" But gets super into it anyway.
Yeah, the intro shows how the band is a perfect combination of elements and personalities, it seems. Dave said it even surprised them when they first practiced. It was an experiment, an unlikely assemblage at the time, and it just worked. Led Zeppelin said the same thing -- their combined sound was an unexpected monster on its own, they said. Can't know till you try.
Look at that. That's a show, no one on their phone, no pushing and shoving like some crazy mosh pit, not that I have anything against mosh pits, but everybody grooving and having a good time. Definition of entertainment=Dave Matthews Band
Thats why i always go to dave when he comes through indiana which is about every year. Iv been to shows where your the wierd one if your dancing if your at dave and ur not getting down your the weird one
I remember when I was little and my dad put a CD in while Britney Spears was playing. He said, "Lemme show you real music," and cranked it up as loud as it could go. I'm still listening to this day.
Carter's left hand lead started a revolution in the drumming community, and justifiable so! The DMB shows are so engaging the crowd isn't filming with their phones they are dancing and are in the moment! So awesome.
Yeah, that sax is like the magic dust to the band's sound. Some bands might not have known what was missing and never thought to bring in someone else. The band sounds all right till he comes in, but he takes them to another level, it seems. And those who say Ringo is still their favorite drummer need to give Carter a good listen here.
SO COOL how Dave stepped out of the spotlight, walked up to the drum, turned his back to the crowd and the let the violinist have his turn in the spotlight with that sick sick solo!!!
I know. I keep rewinding to the exchanges between the Jimmy, bassist, and drummer. It's something about musicians grooving off each other. They are feeling it.
Without a doubt the best version of this song. The Boyd solo is amazing, the intro is they most natural sounding out of any of the others, and the whole song rly just sounds the most perfect in this version than any other.
this one universal, timeless, ageless wonder that few artists are able to create... the emotion one can get from this tune is just amazing... it makes you want more...and more! thanks DMB ... like vincent palmer said... i can't wipe that smile from face... godspeed guys!!
DMB is my favorite concert band by far. A girlfriend dragged me to see them in 1995 and I'd never heard of them, totally blew me away. Haven't seen them in years but I'll listen to them from time to time and it brings back a lot of great memories
How nice is it to see not one damn person holding up a phone. Just people laughing, singing, and living their best life in the moment! Can we go back to these times? ............ Please?
Need more Leroi love 🙌🏽.. amazing talent who created his own unique sound that seemingly cannot be replicated... the addition of 2 new musicians cannot create the sound of Leroi Cheers!
I think more people need the appriciate the musical talent in the Dave Matthews Band. To take so many different instruments, and put the together to make great sounding music is amazing.
Look at the way DMD members present themselves on stage. They don't need costumes, or even dress like they are going to a formal. DMB just shows up to entertain with their musical talents. How many bands can say that for themselves?
My girl and I making way our decendency set for future times no struggle to hard we will overcome you and me together we can do anything. I love you Christina!
Dave and the rest of the band have all said-Doesn't matter your political or religious views, color of your skin, whatever if you like their MUSIC then you're a DMB fan-That's ALL I need b/c I don't agree w/a lot of Dave's political or religious views but we both on 1 thing-He writes some AWESOME music!
Sorry seen Dave 35 times, their original sound and members. Just bring a different feel, then the current Dave. I love DMB, runs thru my veins and blood. Nothing beats old Dave vibe.
1:15 & 1:38.. There's a few more times, too. Can't say I blame him . He's jamming and then they change it. At least that's what it looks like to me. I love #DMB ALWAYS ! One of my favorites !
IF YOU'RE A BIG FAN OF DAVE, THEN I WOULD MOST LIKELY BE A FAN OF YOURS A RARE AND UNIQUE BLEND, BACKED BY A SOLID BAND, MUCH TALENT AND HEART. A CLASS ACT, FOR SURE
The Gorge is one fine place to see a concert and next to Red Rocks - the best place to see the DMB. I was at this concert sitting in the box seats to the right of the sound stage as you face the stage. Helicopters were circling before the concert and having seen Dave there many times I knew this was not normal. Sure enough they came out with the Gorge album and vids a couple years later. Good times. Peace - Dave you make everybody happy.
It all depends where you see them in US man. Here DMB plays 2 shows every summer....and has for like the past 20 years or however long they've been touring. At our local venue (beatiful outdoor venue in the mountains) it's amazing. It may not be a "small intimate" venue but one thing is for damn sure -- EVERYONE is there to smoke some good weed and spend an evening with DMB I'd consider us "appreciative fans" when the entire crowd, knows every lyric, to every single song
This has still got to be one of the best arranged songs I have ever heard. It's so perfect in every way.
Tenatu 7 years later, still no rival.
I hope your still listening
@@deanemery7336 Why yes, Yes I am. And now I have 7 years of additional versions of this. lol. 👌🎻🥁🎼
Difficult to argue
That breakdown at 6:11 onwards is pure magic
Wow. Pls dont let this dialogue die!
I love the beginning of this song, it's really catchy. Always makes me think of the scene in The Office where Andy is in the roller skating rink alone & asks the DJ to play Dave Matthews band, and he plays this and he says "I said no hits!" But gets super into it anyway.
WIN
what season was this? need to watch that episode now lol
Ha. Literally just watched that scene 2 minutes ago and now I'm here
One of the greatest intros and shows/acoustical shows I've ever witnessed.. bravo DMB bravo.
100
Yeah, the intro shows how the band is a perfect combination of elements and personalities, it seems. Dave said it even surprised them when they first practiced.

+Gunnar Streuli Right, you got that right
+Gunnar Streuli This was filmed in '04 so this is before smartphones thats probably why.
+Gunnar Streuli my favorite ants marching performace. i get the live at the gorge dvd from my friend and jam it out .
rite
Thats why i always go to dave when he comes through indiana which is about every year. Iv been to shows where your the wierd one if your dancing if your at dave and ur not getting down your the weird one
this drummer is incredible
yea he is . he is one of the best drummer i ever seen
Man, I want to know what it feels like to be that good at something
@@zirjayvillanueva8876 go practice! 🤷♂️
Over 40 years on the drums… I agree 100% unique style
This percussion section and drummer are best in music. Look up Dream Theater Liquid Tension Expime t
I remember when I was little and my dad put a CD in while Britney Spears was playing. He said, "Lemme show you real music," and cranked it up as loud as it could go. I'm still listening to this day.
I should show your dad Pink Floyd
I’ll forever miss this lineup . It was magical. What an era for the band.
Carter's left hand lead started a revolution in the drumming community, and justifiable so! The DMB shows are so engaging the crowd isn't filming with their phones they are dancing and are in the moment! So awesome.
My favorite version... I remember getting this Box Set for Christmas 2005...
Time has flown!!!
This is one of my favorite performances of Ants Marching because you can hear Stephan so well! Plus Leroi totally rocks the sax solo, as usual.
Isibeal Owens
Clarinet but Leroi is the sound and Carter is the heart beat that makes this band so good
Cheers
It’s a soprano sax . They are long and straight like a clarinet.
Yeah, that sax is like the magic dust to the band's sound. Some bands might not have known what was missing and never thought to bring in someone else. The band sounds all right till he comes in, but he takes them to another level, it seems. And those who say Ringo is still their favorite drummer need to give Carter a good listen here.
Carter CRUSHES on this performance too!
There's no way to watch a Dave Matthews Band live performance and not smile like an idiot.
like I was doing all song long :)
Vincent Palmer 3 years later
Still smiling.
I’ve seen them so many times and I cherish every moment.
Can you imagine being in THIS crowd on THIS night when THIS song was played?! And can we show the bass player some love- He killed that intro!
I was lucky enough to be there! :) It was my first Gorge and I was 27 years old. We are about to head back there in 3 weeks for our Gorge #12! :)
SO COOL how Dave stepped out of the spotlight, walked up to the drum, turned his back to the crowd and the let the violinist have his turn in the spotlight with that sick sick solo!!!
Musicianship at its finest
Probley the best live performance I ever seen for a song on youtube
Incredible. That was the most fun I've ever had staring at a phone screen.
The soundtrack to my 20's. Great memories right there.
I love how he dances around the stage and doesn't miss a beat.
The sound engineer and all the instrument techs really did some kickass wiring, mic,& speakers placements here! Damn! That sound!
I’ve heard a lot of versions of “Ants Marching”, but this might be the best. Definitely up there. Top notch.
I love the exchange of glances and smiles between Dave and Carter between :20 and :40. It appears they're appreciating Stefan's bass improvisation.
Dusty Seifert Mr Lassard rules that Bass !! 😎🎸🎶🎶🎶
I know. I keep rewinding to the exchanges between the Jimmy, bassist, and drummer. It's something about musicians grooving off each other. They are feeling it.
The first 2 mins of this song is just pure bliss!
Probably one of the best live versions of the song in existence! CAN'T BEAT DMB!!!
Without a doubt the best version of this song. The Boyd solo is amazing, the intro is they most natural sounding out of any of the others, and the whole song rly just sounds the most perfect in this version than any other.
Well said🙌 Central Park is the only version that sounds just as natural
Man yall get me going in the mornings!! i just dance in my kitchen making the Coffee!! Yall Rock!! Love Love Love Yall...Love from Houston!!
My name is Austin will you be my first time husband and wife? Yes or no
Such an amazing collaboration of talent. Very rare these days..
this one universal, timeless, ageless wonder that few artists are able to create... the emotion one can get from this tune is just amazing... it makes you want more...and more! thanks DMB ... like vincent palmer said... i can't wipe that smile from face... godspeed guys!!

Daniel Hooper are you and the girlfriend still together?
How nice is it to see not one damn person holding up a phone. Just people laughing, singing, and living their best life in the moment!
Can we go back to these times? ............ Please?
carter beauford deserves it. what a great guy. he deserves all the talent he has and the chance to show it off every night.
DMB is like wine, it gets better with age. Great performance by (in my opinion and others' )the best band of the last decade.
this song always makes me so happy. This version in particular
amazing...goosebumps!! just WOW..............
I like to think of myself as a little ant when i'm taking the train to work and listening to this song.
Dave’s happy feet and Carter and LeRoi....bless them for giving me a few minutes of bliss. I hate this world
Steffan the most underrated member... wish he had more solo time at the concerts i've been to
There are 144 people who must be deaf.........DMB always great!
Love that Boyd's fiddlin'.!!!!!
This song will never get old
Hell yes
instrumentally, dave Matthews band is one of the best ever. their instrumentation is insane.
Love this dude! Life has been a great experience with this guy along for the ride with my friends and I.
Boyd Tinsley is the MAN! So much energy.
Strickly Dave! The Man, Tim and the band are just awesome!
I usually listen to hardcore gangsta rap and undergrouns shit but never miss a chance to get my groove on at a dave show
john smith rap sucks
dig that. good music is good music.
Goose bumps man I wish I was there.
Absolute genius instrumental technique meets absolute genius harmony. God damn, how is this band not more revered??
They’re all good, but the drummer and bass player are outstanding
Idc what anybody says. Nobody was cooler than the OG Dave Matthews Band.
Need more Leroi love 🙌🏽.. amazing talent who created his own unique sound that seemingly cannot be replicated... the addition of 2 new musicians cannot create the sound of Leroi
Cheers!
Mr Lassard ruled that BASS !
Roy
he’s SIIICCCKKK
I think more people need the appriciate the musical talent in the Dave

Velo1010 a lot of bands. Depends on where you look.
Chills bumps hearing the back drop of instruments, drums, horn, guitar,
Bass and bad ass violinists. Dang love this song
Be still my heart. This song is everything still after all these years ❤
Beautiful, awesome, enjoy, timeless, music for the ages, Thank You!!!!!

Under the table and dreaming best studio album ever!!
Holy FUCK what a show. That's some goddamn energy and I'm still feeling it over a decade later.
Dave and the rest of the band have all said-Doesn't matter your political or religious views, color of your skin, whatever if you like their MUSIC then you're a DMB fan-That's ALL I need b/c I don't agree w/a lot of Dave's political or religious views but we both on 1 thing-He writes some AWESOME music!
Sorry seen Dave 35 times, their original sound and members. Just bring a different feel, then the current Dave. I love DMB, runs thru my veins and blood. Nothing beats old Dave vibe.
I mean, can it REALLY get any better than this? I don't think so.
What a great band!!!
Just a great live performance
watching in 2017 one hell of a nostalgic moment!
The way music should be STILL!!!!! 2019 and STILL listening and will be FOREVER!!! DMB #1 IN MY HEART!!!
00:41 The smile on daves face as he looks at carter and then he smiles back just shows how much fun they are having.
Hard to describe and the best word that comes to mind: SPECIAL!
1:15 & 1:38.. There's a few more times, too. Can't say I blame him . He's jamming and then they change it. At least that's what it looks like to me. I love #DMB ALWAYS ! One of my favorites !
My name is Austin will you be my first time husband and wife? Yes or no Babe
Austin Guerra there’s always some pathetic creep on TH-cam, congrats on being that guy
Great music!! Great Band!! I love it!
IF YOU'RE A BIG FAN OF DAVE, THEN I WOULD MOST LIKELY BE A FAN OF YOURS
A RARE AND UNIQUE BLEND, BACKED BY A SOLID BAND, MUCH TALENT AND HEART. A CLASS ACT, FOR SURE
Cosmo Topper TAKE OFF CAPS LOCK
I love the smile on his face at :30.....like he just knows this is going to blow your freaking mind..........amazing!
LEGENDS - Awesome - timeless - LeRoi - Stefan - Boyd - Carter - Dave - WOW
On their own island of jamming...hell yeah!!!!!
The Gorge is one fine place to see a concert and next to Red Rocks - the best place to see the DMB. I was at this concert sitting in the box seats to the right of the sound stage as you face the stage. Helicopters were circling before the concert and having seen Dave there many times I knew this was not normal. Sure enough they came out with the Gorge album and vids a couple years later. Good times. Peace - Dave you make everybody happy.
Are you kidding me? The acoustic intro and the bass is amazing!
Great version. I miss Dave’s happy feet. This band will never be right without the great LeRoi. Boyd can crawl under a rock.
The band is definitely right still. Love Leroi, but Jeff and Rashaun are carrying the torch just fine.
I just LOVE how my fellow Seattlite dances too!
I would really love to hear the old songs like🤞 crash into me space between, or satellite when i go to his concert in August .
What a skills! How amazing they are!
one of the best concerts I wish i could of been there
Wonderful mixing. You hear all the instruments
I was there!!! Epic 🎶🎵Amazing🎶🎵
If you don’t like this band. You have serious problems.
Fire up the kind bud, strap on the head phones and get you're beer cracked open.....we are ready for the ride!
This song has so many layers.....musical bean dip haha! I love it.
There has never been a band whose members were each so talented on their respective instruments than DMB
Love the way he dances
Great song from the '90s.
Stefan Lessard is the garlic in the sauce!
That drummer……………🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
A band at their peak
my phone always freezes when it gets to Carter.... probably because it can't keep up.
The Dave Matthews BAND ..... BAND!
Carter fucking Beauford!!!!!!
It all depends where you see them in US man.
Here DMB plays 2 shows every summer....and has for like the past 20 years or however long they've been touring.
At our local venue (beatiful outdoor venue in the mountains) it's amazing. It may not be a "small intimate" venue but one thing is for damn sure -- EVERYONE is there to smoke some good weed and spend an evening with DMB
I'd consider us "appreciative fans" when the entire crowd, knows every lyric, to every single song
TWO MORE WEEKS....CAN'T WAIT!!!!
Art, pure and simple 😊
