Dave Matthews All Along the Watchtower Live

[zackw31]

DMB's version of Watchtower is by far the best out there. So much passion and soul

Hey guys: who cares? Like who you like. Nobody should give a crap.

[Gooberhead1956]

I guess if you squint alot.....that makes you a good singer....lol

[Gooberhead1956]

Wow......he rips out Am, G and F.......what a stud guitarist.....lol.......i guess hippies can excuse lack of talent.

[Gooberhead1956]

Matthew's has a voice??.....perhaps he needs some some glycerin suppositories......sounds constipated. Dave Mason's cover blows DMB away.

[Gooberhead1956]

Hendrix's voice is better......no comparison on the guitar work.....

[WiltonFishingClub]

@Gooberhead1956 Hendrix's voice is crap compared to Dave Matthews (btw the audio in this video is poor quality) and if you listen to Dave Matthews Band version which includes numerous instruments it clearly outshines Hendrix ten fold and Dylans 100 fold

[Freddyfartbox]

@WiltonFishingClub

This shit outshines Bob Dylan 100 fold? Really? WTF are you smoking. He sings like he has a big cock in his mouth.

[WiltonFishingClub]

@Freddyfartbox

Hey, Rolling stone described Dylan's voice as "sand and glue". Dylan is a poet not a singer.

[Gooberhead1956]

Hers's just as good of voice.......at least Leo can play......D.M. would make a good church player.....youtube.com/watch?v­=BKb-FBsGLH4

[Gooberhead1956]

There's probably at least 1000 guys in coffee houses across the country that sing/play better than this clown.....jeez people

[JohnMalcolm]

@Gooberhead1956 Name 10 and I will watch them - anyway they are not you.



[Gooberhead1956]

Sounds like he's constipated.......D. Fogelberg was 10x the vocalist and way better guitarist........

[babistsotsos]

!!!!!

[babistsotsos]

!!!!!

[y8yap]

the crowd very noisy.....where can hear the recorded song? =) 

[VanceEllis]

Look how many different ways he plays Am, G, and F. Badass!

[dudemega]

awesome! i just came back from SWU Dave show!!! fuck briliant!

watch this version!!!!! /watch?v=sS0goVQlmVs

brazilian version!

[2644smith]

His playing is great but it's impossible to hear a word he says. His singing is in tune but still awful.

[CollectiveVentures1]

@2644smith Ur an idiot. nuff said.

[TheSuicidalChipmunks]

I can't wait to see this concert...if he plays this song it should be worth it completely

[nel1313]

Amazing!!!

[lamprouter]

anyone know which concert this is from or where i can download the song in flac? thanks.

[lamprouter]

anyone know which concert this was from? or where i can download the song in flac?

[wordsrlikerain]

So, I heard that David Cook was gonna do this version of the song on Idol, but chose Hungry Like the Wolf instead. Pretty sure this is the angriest I've ever been with Cook, because THIS WOULD'VE BEEN FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!!

[simplecreativity]

Much as I don't follow him nor particular care for his singing, I think he would've done this version of Watchtower pretty well.

[benturki]

@wordsrlikerain American Idol, Xfactor kill music...

[lrambach]

his voice drives me up the fucking wall

[jsguitar]

Very Simple fingering more can be done on the guitar w/these three chords.This version does not apeal to me but hey Dave M is very popular so my thoughts don't really matter that much here. Just me stringing out my head .Ha HA!

[ctjazzking]

IVe cn DMB play this in Connecticut 2 times in the last 3 years& it is EPIC. ide love to c something like this with him&tim

[sensesfail10792]

I agree bendtsen!! what was even more epic was who you went to those two shows with :D

[ctjazzking]

yeah some tool with a smoking hot girl friend 8D

[sensesfail10792]

he was a tool wasnt he!

[ctjazzking]

yeah good thing he has a fantasitc best friend to keep him in check

[ChevyDP]

@ctjazzking You guys are gay. Touch each other mentally somewhere else. I want to know what people think about this video, not about you two. Ok thanks :)

[ctjazzking]

sorry ChevyDP this is the only way i chat w bros on line. iguess ishould get me a facespace or something 8D

[DMB553]

I just love to hear him sing and love this song : -)

[heavenlydemonic23]

dave mathews the one and only ! he looks like a stoned version of tom hanks

[anddrewww]

any idea what guitar this is?

[Kahonez07]

Taylor 910? 914? dreadnaught. They go for like 3 grand or more, lol.

[fence0407]

I think he's using a Martin in this video. He uses the Taylor 914C with the full band on tour. This looks like the same Martin guitar he used in the Dave and Tim VH1 Storytellers. Check it out, maybe I'm wrong! haha...whatever guitar it is, its a badass song!

[Kahonez07]

aaah, good call. i didnt even think of that, lol. but i can't see the head clearly so ...yeah.... word, it's badass

[timbov1]

@fence0407 Martin HD-28V.

[xdmbfan2stepx]

wrong!!! you must be retarded to think that is a taylor! look at the pickguard, even if you missed that...the head should give it away!!

[tmoore4075]

Yeah probably his model the Martin DM3MD. He usually uses that one at the acoustic shows and the taylor with the band.

[sk8ingwalrus07]

it is the martin dm3md. you can tell cuz the headstock is skinny like a martins and it doesnt have a cutaway

[Shaddler6strings]

def a martin...you can tell by the headstock. not sure what model though

[goffie2122]

Martin HD-28

[ashton8504]

@goffie2122 - actually its a martin hd-28v. You can tell by the butterbean tuners

[Crewdude1945]

Yup, definitely a Martin. Looks just like my D-18, except his has an amp input. Very nice guitar for sure.

[maxsoup]

he plays the HD-28 or the DM3MD, this looks like the 28

[mstroeck]

I have an HD-28, and this looks like one.

[Amanox]

I was there :P haha

[simplecreativity]

Considering Dave is covering Bob Dylan's song, All Along the Watchtower, the way Hendrix used to cover it is irrelevant.

Cheers, this is a great video.

[arsenalfanforlife]

Hendrix just promotes his guitar playing in his cover, he doesnt sing extremely well ans he knew that so he did wha might be the sickest guiatr song ever

[ripbarrett72]

@arsenalfanforlife dude are you fucking serious, hendrix sung with his fucking guitar when he played that man, hendrix put his fucking heart in that, honestly, wht would make you think that

[arsenalfanforlife]

Because the guitarplaying is sick and the singing isn't

[ripbarrett72]

just cause hendrix wasnt the best singer doesnt mean he aint singing with it hear, go listen to it again man, he sings it with his fucking heart, he's just not mr. american idol, dave matthews has a good voice bro. not trying to start shit ya know man, no hate, but seriously, you think bob dylan didn't feel the songs he sung and wrote, becuase he couldnt sing? cmon man. peace bro

[arsenalfanforlife]

I listen to hendrix everyday and i love him. Im not saying he doesn't feel his songs in no way what so ever, but there is something special with his voice u know what i mean? Theres just alot of carisma in hendrix voice, it's like I couldn't care less if he doesn't sing unbelievably well

[ripbarrett72]

i know man, but dave matthews sing well, what you are pretty much saying is your opinion of who's version is better, they both did it with heart ya know man. matthew chose to sing this with heart, hendrix, well hendirx was about the guitar not singing, and that's what i mean, by he sung with his guitar

[arsenalfanforlife]

i second that with all my heart

[simplecreativity]

Hey, like I always say, I've got nothing against Hendrix. I just don't think his voice is pleasant to listen to, and while I agree he's a master of guitar, I don't enjoy listening to endless electric guitar shredding. I prefer groups like DMB, where each member is highlighted for their ability, not just one at great length. But that's just me, and I respect that Hendrix appeals to a lot of people.

Cheers.

[CollectiveVentures1]

@simplecreativity No one should ever say Jimi Hendrix was irrelevant unless they want to seem completely ignorant... But I agree comparing this version and Jimi's is water and air...

[simplecreativity]

@CollectiveVentures1 I never said that Jimi Hendrix was irrelevant. I stated that in this context, where we're all remarking on a video in which Dave Matthews is covering a Bob Dylan song, and he obviously makes no effort to play at all like Hendrix, Hendrix's manner of covering the song is irrelevant. It doesn't have any place here.

[nightingale013]

Sounds nice only How the hell are you going to perform psychedelica-deluxe-solo a lá Hendrix on a acoustic?

[barnyard633]

wholly shit={
