  • lol literally first time 'autotune' has been associated with Dave Matthews

  • The beauty of the bands music, is Dave's ability to sing to the music. Sometimes that may mean he is off key or his pitch may be off but that's what makes the music unique and amazing.

  • dude the offtune parts are what make him perfect he wouldnt even think of fucking around wit ur gay ass autotune. Dave man u r my hero

  • Dave's the man.

  • Don't even know how people can critisize this. Or them, at all.

  • autotune?! the beauty of Dave is his raw and unique yet full sound. You have tainted this video by suggesting such a thing, it is probable that you have zero knowledge of this man or music in general. You are talking right out of your ass. Go jerk off to some t-pain videos...autotune...psh

  • @laxter575 ABSOLUTELY, this guys doesn't limit himself with a script.

  • idiot NOt you below me ...cuz im burnin one to...whoever thinks its auto tune is retarded

  • when the world ends..we'll be burnin one

  • @snapple11 CROWD ROARS ;-)

  • ha ha ha autotune... you dont know what you are talking about. Off key more than a little but still the best live performer of the decade.

  • off-key? He's the most on-key live vocalist I can fucking think of.

  • Auto-tune on his voice? Certainly not. He loves hitting off-pitch things sometimes just for the effect.

    But for the instruments? Hell yeah, they're running through $100,000's of sound equipment. Don't believe me? Try getting your guitar to sound that good on an amp. Just try. Do I blame him for using equipment? Not at all. Most of it it probably necessary to create a good sound across the whole system when he plays live.

  • guys.... auto tune is perfectly obvious when it's used.. it sounds very electronic.. with the way dave uses his voice it would change his style entirely, you'd be able to tell

  • This is Dave Matthews we're talking about, why the f*** would he need auto-tune when his voice is as perfect as it gets?

  • If Dave used autotune then why would he be soo off pitch so much? I am a big dave fan, but just like the FUSE Concert, he was terribly offpitch for the first half of the set, and COMPLETELY dead the second half.

  • @TheOrangeMrJulius dude he was sick. I'm sure that had everything to do with why he wasn't perfect

  • Yeah, I think he mentioned it during the show.

  • wow. if i were dave id be pretty happy that my voice is so awesome that people are acusing me of using autotune lol

  • wow everybody is arguing about wether or not Dave uses auto tone or not, while this beautiful love song is left completely out of the conversation. The song is talking about how he will love the person beyond the apocolypse! Super touching, and very meaningful. i <3 DMB.

  • @kajiame3224 you "less than three DMB" that makes no sense

  • does anyone have accurate tabs of the chords for this song?

  • Comment removed

  • autotune autotune autotune autotune... Shut up.

  • hahahaha autotune?!!

    i dont think dave knows what an autotune even is!!  if he used an autotune why wouldn't he just make it sound perfect?

  • If you watch the interview he had with Tavis Smiley he makes a comment on how he sings out of tune a lot. All this "auto tune" comments flying around on youtube videos is nothing more then adolescents that learned a new word.

  • my thoughts exactly. the beauty of dave matthews music when its live is the subtle imperfections that aren't covered up whith electronics....autotune? haha

  • @nefar73 I'm with you...silly children!

  • @d4nknugz024  because it already is perfect

  • hmm 1:29-1:35 does sound like an autotune. but it was just a funky thing he did with his voice, ik he doesnt use an autotune.

  • If you think Dave uses autotune then you need to go to one of his concerts.

    You'll know he doesn't when you hear him.

    He's an incredibly talented musician and doesn't need autotune to sound good, unlike many of the mainstream artists today.

  • on the subject of autotune...theres no autotune on live performances, but when the concert is mastered for a dvd or cd release they fix up the vocals so they sound better. If you get a tapers pull of a show that is also released on a live cd or dvd you can hear the difference

  • umm no disrespect but they use autotune live ..i know a guy in a band and his lead singer uses autotune, i hate it but live its still there. unless its something else idk.

  • that may be true, but dmb does not use autotune in live shows. If they did, dave would sound much better. He misses a lot of high notes when he yells and wails in a lot of songs. Im telling you, get a tapers pull and a cd release...the difference is clear.

  • oh no for sure i know dave doesnt use it ..he doesnt need to ha ..i was just jumping into the middle of the conversation haha im not a big fan of autotune.

  • wow if u really think dave would ever use auto tune..... listen to him sing, you've gotta be kiddin me

  • :D is all I can say

  • Dave often sings without pitch, and often slurs from one note to another. It's not possible for dave to be using autotune in this video.

  • This is a really good version

  • I didn't know Dave used auto tune live, doesn't change anything of course. Great performance.

  • ????

  • What are you asking King Question Mark?

  • when is he using autotune??

  • The entire song. But, he sings in key the entire time, so you can not tell - except from 1:29-1:35. You can blatantly hear it there.

  • i dont see how you can tell hah- i'm not doubting you- just curious as to how you can hear it. what is it supposed to sound like- just exactly in tune?

  • hahahahahah!!!

  • I seriously doubt he uses autotune... using autotune implies that he would have to know when in the song he wants to change a note (otherwise he would have to input that to the autotuner), and he improvises a bunch (changing notes and words outside of the time signature). Do you know how auto tune works? It doesn't know what notes you want to hit, you have to input this...

  • I don't want to turn this into a debate or anything, and I regret my initial comment, because it detracts from the music. That being said, yes, I know how auto-tune works. I've work in a small studio.  And, you are actually quite wrong about the program. You only need to input the key you are singing in; it adjusts any "sour notes" to that key. Key signature is irrelevant.

  • i love the outro dave and tim do when they play this, its great.

  • my second favorite song. did you know that phoenix uses the most plastic water bottles, and has NO RECYCLING CENTERS FOR THE PLASTIC? just thought you should know and would want to help me change this

  • 2012 ill be burnin one

  • why so late!?!?!

  • sweet!

  • awesome song

  • sick... 5 stars

  • AWSOME!!!!!!Great song writing makes you think were you want be when it does .I hope Im burning one.....

  • wow

  • favorite song

  • i definetly played this one over and over and been smokin one to

  • wow

  • wow

  • i like all his songs!

  • will i see you? i will be at the gorge show, like I am every summer. find me

  • I love how there's always a roar from the crowd when he says, "When the world ends, we'll be burnin one". This song is friggin awesome, but what can I say, it's DMB...

  • Yeah, Dave and Tim make no apologies for using herb and mushrooms- on video and all... and I do feel it's their choice. You gotta respect honesty instead of phony P.R.

  • I'm sure you have proof of this too.

  • Yes, we all have proof. Subscribe to Dave's channel. There's a hilarious couple of videos of Dave and Tim talking of when they met & taking mushrooms and weed, watching the sun rise, saying "Good times, man"! Dave has appeared on Politically incorrect against the marijuana laws in the USA, (also on You Tube) a couple times. Why, you have a problem with weed?

  • thats awesome

  • wow

  • wow

  • wow

  • wow

  • I think Dave Matthews sold his soul to Satan.

  • why do you think that?

  • just referencing the old expression; i was trying to say he's really good. i guess it came off wrong, a lot of people didn't like it lol

  • lol im pretty sure all of his soul is in this song...

  • haha good point

  • Haha, i got what you were saying. But i think "the devil" is usually used instead of "Satan".

  • I'm Southern and I got it!! And I agree!! :)

  • Best Version of this song by far

  • I couldnt agree more! I think when the whole band plays this song theres almost to much going on to fully understand it.

  • Was an IMAX Projectionist back when Matrix Reloaded was on repeat for six months---looked forward to the end of that film every time-just to hear this song!

  • the outro they always do in this is amazing, i wish he threw it in a little more with the band.

  • BEAUTIFUL

  • The Dave Matthews band is good, but they're nothing compared to Dave Matthews and Ti Reynolds. When those two collaborate, it's glorious.

  • I'd have to disagree. The chemistry that the band has when they play together has yet to be matched in any live performance that I've seen. It's amazing.

    Not taking anything away from these two together, as they really do complement each other wonderfully.

  • Neh.

    To each their own i guess.

  • im gonna have to say phish and the grateful dead's chemistry matches dmb.

  • i would have to agree that dave and tim together is just magic, dmb is still good though

  • /agree @ dcoppel 1

    The Band is my favorite group -ever-, and Dave is my favorite solo artist -ever-. But Dave and Tim are damn good together; far as I'm concerned, any Dave is good Dave, y'know?

    Cheers, all of you, no matter how you like to hear your daily serving of Dave :D

  • I think certain things are better with the whole others are better w/ just dave and tim

  • You're probably right. His (immense) talents really come out in this format.

  • Amazing what they can do with ONE note!!!

  • This song gets me everytime...

  • Dave has shaped my life.

  • definitely

  • when dave plays with tim, its like magic

  • beautiful, beautiful stuff :)

  • I absolutely love this song!!! My bestfriend told me to think of him when I hear it...*sigh* one of the many reasons I fell in love with him:)

  • best song of all time

  • so cool!!! msg me!

    lol @ all the comments on here Nn

  • i have this dvd and ive been watching it like every night since i got it.. which was like 2 months ago lol.

    but every song on this dvd is amazing. you cant get sick of them :)

  • Girls-Music-Drugs

    GMD Rest in peace LeRoi Moore

  • dave is one of the most creative artists out there. his guitar playing w/ his chords are outstanding, and there is tim who i'm pretty sure sold his soul to the devil to play the guitar. one of the most underrated guitarist out there. a true master

  • Obviously one of the best and original songwriters and guitarists of any era. Less realized: one of the best singers around.

  • i'll give you songwriter.. one of the best.. guitarists? eh.. stretch lol. great singer though.. one of my favorite artists

  • Original, being the operative word. Just when everything's been done on the guitar, this guy comes along with chords and style he can definitively call his own. Also, try singing while playing these off-beat rhythms--good luck. I've been playing him for a year and I still feel like a novice.

  • no i agree totally.. im still trying to play him too i have been playing for 5 years now.. its always a new challenge.. if you are going original i agree totally! just best guitarist is an iffy subject because you can't claim a best. but original yes! his lyrics are sweet though

  • Pat Metheny own all.

  • "Best" is too subjective to really mean anything to anyone but oneself.

    That said, Dave is one of the best rhythm guitar players of all time.

  • The entire DMB catalogue learned...check out some acoustic progressive bands like "Armed Elephant" and "Abraxas"...you'll see a more aggressive styling then DMB without sacrificing the intensity and complexity of the DMB style of playing...you will enjoy...

    ptj

  • One of his best songs--amazing performance.

  • is this the recording from radio city, cause it sounds a lot like it w/ tim's parts.

  • I saw the Radio City DVD at my drummers house,

    and I'm pretty sure this is it.

  • yes this is radio city and im 100% sure

  • haha, you gotta wonder what he was thinking when he wrote this song... did he hit on a girl that he really liked and she said that she would when the world ended or something?? lol. or was it just a really creative spark for a love song. in either case, you rock dave matthews and R.I.P. to LeRoi Moore.

  • i was watching a video about and he heard the phrase when he world ends from i believe a author somewhere and then hes like oo shit that tight and he said the first time he sang it he didnt have any lyrics besides when the world ends so he just went in and said stuff after when the world ends and when he could think of anything else he just said when the worlds ends

  • Your right about the everything excecpt it wasn't an author who wrote the phrase, it was his friend who wrote a poem and "when the world ends" was just a phrase in the poem. But your right bout everything else........PEACE LOVE AND HAPPINESS YALL...

  • R.I.P. LeRoi Moore!

  • they are both absolutely amazingggg :]

  • great song bad promo

  • Im going to take you up to

    Im going to take you down on you

    All the love that I would ever need

    That's my favorite.

  • this whole song is my favorite :] haha

  • sexy.

  • i wouldnt expect you to understand

  • I'm gonna walk you down the pathless roads...I'm gonna take you to the top of the mountain thats no longer there...I'm gonna take you to bed...and love you, I swear...

    ahhhh! These lyrcis!! Damn good...and this version is AMAZING...

  • i love the dvd

  • Elle gère trop cette version

    J'aime bien la différence qu'il y a entre la version studio et celle en live, au moins ça gave pas !

    Extra !

  • I love the acoustic version of this song.

  • My favorite performance of this song.

  • Likewise

  • My favorite performance of this song.

  • wow i'm a dave fan but i wouldn't wish that i had a vag so he could have his way with it...homos

  • Agreed!

  • why did u give a thumbs down? try playin along with them...

  • whats the name of this dvd?

  • Live at Radiocity

  • holy shit same if i had a vag id be like "dave, have your way with my vag"

  • Thank God I have a vag so I don't have to confess that over the world wide web.

  • sniff sniff

  • dave is so cool!!and if i had a vagina i would totally let him have his way with it!!!

  • i agree completly

  • Who writes this stuff? What are you thinking?

  • just playing around. don't take life so serious. have a tree.

  • no, no you wernt

  • i don't have a vagina and i'm considering letting him have his way with me

  • what a voice....so soft and warm...

  • Love this song! :)

    My fave Dave Mattthews song by far!

  • Dave Matthews can do whatever the fuck he wants, whenever the fuck he wants to do it.

  • we'll be burning one..., very good.

  • 00:54-00:57

    he forgets whats verse he is on. flubs and chuckles a little. no biggie...just a tad funny

  • There's an interview with Dave on here somewhere where he says he forgets lyrics to his songs all the time. He said he uses a teleprompter all the time.

    I would assume it very hard for him to remember every word of every song he's ever written...

  • I think probability-wise, odds are that I will either be sleeping and/or burning one when the world ends

  • damn right Dave Ill be burning one watching this video and thats no lie (= its so chillax

  • This song is so great

  • anyone know why everyone just starts cheering at 1:53?

  • Cause he says...."burning one down"

  • Since you had to ask then I should point out "Burning one" means smoking ganja. Dave makes quite a few ganja references.

  • I hope thats where I am when the world ends. Sitting in a field, burnin one while Dave and Tim jam. If I can have that than fuck it, bring it on.

  • exactly......a fatty =)

  • I was just surprised that everyone started cheering there, because he always sings that and usually no one cheers.

  • "We'll be burning one"......smoking weed bro =) thats why they cheer

  • what concert(s) were you at when noone cheered? everyone cheers everytime I've heard this song....then shortly following...the cloudy haze ;-)

  • You know its funny when he messes up because it reminds me of myself. When your a muscian and you mess up you just smile and move on and it still ends up being a great show. So Props Dave. Your a master genius. I dont care what anyway says.

  • does he mess up on this song?

  • lyrics at .56 lolbut as 53224 says, ya smile and just keep going. Its gone.

    The comment I was going to leave :o)

    its not just how he plays, which as we all know is outstanding as is Tim's, its how Dave sings over the insane beats going on its like trying to find the right split second to leap on to a moving fighter jet.

    Amazing how such a musician as Dave is still somewhat in the global shadow. Then again he probably could not care less.

    That day will come.

  • i've watched this a hundred times and i cant tell, maybe b/c i just enjoyed watching it. but there a few other people saying he does. oh well they both sound awesome.

  • you're?

  • everybody commenting awful things need to chill and listen to the music. i mean its kind of ruining the vibe.

  • hey im sorry i didnt mean 2 give your comment thumbs down. i completely agree.

  • no probalem
