[filmtress]

Love Dave. His passion during his performances makes everything he does phenomenal. A truly talented one of a kind artist.

[DoctorBenway101]

and Pete Seeger is to folk music what Stephenie Meyer is to literature: Weak shit.

[Jakes1185]

Dave Matthews is to Pete Seeger what Chris Brown is to James Brown.

Weak shit.

[msqtube]

I like hoopiejohn's version better. this is just too slow

[samstanley]

someone should tab this

[sammyR191]

@samstanley hold the E power chord on the 7th fret of the A string then strum all the strings in his rythm and the break down part is A G Fsharp

[MultiEatmyshorts]

@sammyR191 teah. its hella easy

[samstanley]

@sammyR191 thx!

[polaroid2000]

This version made the song sad... i miss like the corb lund version that made you stoked to drink. This one just makes you ashamed to drink.

[davehead4real]

Oh cool. This is the 1st time i've heard this.

[3YEARSCLEAN]

This is the best version of (Jack o diamonds -drunken hiccups- rye whiskey) by far, I just cant find it for my ipod anyone know where to find it?

[Dnt132]

[bastifmbh]

ts just e and a powerchords.. octave higher

[gearheadred]

Tex Ritter didn't write it either. Rye Whisky is an excerpt from a traditional folk song called Jack of Diamonds.

[lisnorrog]

best performed by tommy jarrell

[abaste]

no way man, the best version is the hot water music side project called rumbleseat. check it out.

[Lateralus1019]

[DB41791]

[gmerrill64]

[BamBam54837]

[marktusr32]

BEAST...

[wingerjames]

yeah man this as an encore and the maker eairler on made the show

[deadheadwookie17]

Just saw this at tonights show for the encore! Love the way he does this

[jagr456]

This video truly does justice in proving how amazing Dave Matthews is Not only can cover as song and put a unique twist on it but he always can make it better. I am not trying to sat that Pete Seeger is not a sensational musician but Dave Matthews is truly a one of a kind.

[DTetzlaff87]

I've listened to this song like 4 times and gotten goosebumps every time... Dave is awesome!!

[tbredblo]

what a vocal performance... damn.

[jbDMB21]

also i think he should have sung "big whiskey, big whiskey i cryyyyyyyyy" for his new album, haha. maybe not at pete seeger's birthday. but at his concert he should.

[ohdude71]

No he should not, I am a huge DMB fan, but it's Pete Seeger, some things you just don't mess with.

[jbDMB21]

haha, or course he shouldn't. i was just kidding.

that'd be the dumbest thing of all time, haha. it'd also be a slap in the face to pete seeger.

[Towndrunk26er]

This is not a Pete Seeger song. He may have sung it, but he covered it as well. The song was written and originally sung by Tex Ritter in the mid to late 1930's . A good song is a good song, no matter who sings it.

[laur24]

wait, are you honestly saying/thinking that this is not a brilliant fucking cover? You have weird ears, my friend.

[twostepman36]

dave sounds unufreaking believable on this song..

[jbDMB21]

amen.

[computercanada]

Is there anything that Dave can"t play?

[gunnar1104]

Eruption : P, just kiddin'

[loveinit2]

Sounds a little bit like "long black veil"

[cmanderson505]

you are right it does... awesome

[spooninspoon]

Dave Matthews and Pete seeger. Enough said

[xtremehunter82]

you mean tex ritter

[T1U2C3C4]

[zygoose]

[DMBLA]

[rollmebackagain]

[Tneckrox]

rye whiskey rye whiskey rye whiskey i cryyyyyyyaaaaayyyyyy

[erikkanter]

Well said, sir.

[mikeybabies]

5 stars

[zachyd]

oh my god. i got chills. itd be awesome if he opened one of the vegas shows with this song solo, like he did tonight in phoenix.

cant wait for Vegas!!!!

[darthdavid65]

Is this standard tuning?

[nordy34]

yeah, i think it's just an E in the 7th fret with the low e string open. the other chord when he sings "cryyyyy" is an A up in the 12th fret i think.

[riversj88]

it's a 1 4 5 progression in E the chorus is E A B you can play the open chords it sounds great

[itsnotmerry1]

Its hard to put anybody above richie havens that night. The whole event was mind blowing. Just seeing Pete is an honor in its self

[utubecman]

What the F can't this guy pull off? Seriously!!!

[ToOkCaReOfThAtPrOmO2]
