Kenny Chesney Ft. Dave Matthews - I'm Alive

[jakeiscool1995]

Abc probably messed up the audio to video set up

[onesweetworld73]

Dave is the best!!!

[MattGarciaMusic]

kinda looked like dave didnt know what to do with his hands when he'd finished his bit. love that man. dave for pres.

[Mmmyess]

He's finger-synching it! That is, he's not playing the guitar we're hearing.  The timing is off throughout (especially toward the beginning) and the last measure or two has a second guitar playing. Dave even kind of rolls his eyes when he hears it. Still, a lovely song. Thanks for sharing!

[SMoore472]

@Mmmyess There's just very obviously a second guitarist in the background... behind Kenny to the right... that's why it doesn't seem to sync up; there are actually two guitars, on stage, being played.

[Mmmyess]

@SMoore472 It's not that it doesn't "seem to sync up." The volume of the pickup in Chesney's guitar is OFF. I'm not even criticizing the guy...I understand that the show's producers need to minimize their risk. But make no mistake...we're not hearing even one note from his guitar, guaranteed.

[lilchickita408]

l absolutely love the song, but Dave made it so much better:)

if it wasn't for him it wouldn't be as powerful-dave is a very emotional singer and its even better LIVE :D who the heck are the two people that "disliked" this video? >:( lol

[lilchickita408]

l absolutely love the song, but Dave made it so much better:)

[vickybarra1]

me fascina " smoked voice" de dave por diooooooooossssss!!!!!!!! ...me mataaaaa...vengan a argentinaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[yayaweesa]

Just love it!!

[HungryVermilingua]

Dave should get a cowboy hat for that fourhead.

[HungryVermilingua]

I heard that Kenny Chesney is also bringing Dave Matthews to this prom.

[thecrew221]

very good singing

[Dale8JrFan]

i stil love love love love Kenny Chesney!! And of Course I love Dave! Can't beat someone from my own town!

[Jamesr73]

Ah, Dave. You rule.

[genesisbryant]

Awesome.

[bobbysox321]

i think simon cowell would've called kenny a bit 'pitchy' and have his arms tucked up under his armpits like molly shannon, but as a songwriter it must be a great honor to have the voice of dave matthews expressing the simple theme of a very positive and reassuring song...

[wildkatlive]

It's that eyebrow thing Dave does at 2:28 that does it for me...love you Dave!

[PaNoWnAgE]

my life sucks waaaaa this song is my bible waaaa grow up ppl

[planetdarwin]

I love it when they can do a song this great with just voices, a guitar, and a little drum tap. It's like a bug F U to autotune.

[dayah17]

@planetdarwin Amen to THAT! It really is like a punch in the face, isn't it?!

[27hextall]

You guys are such geniuses-but sitting around on You Tube! Get a grip-REALLY !!!

[SDRofCPA]

To Hudie13:

Dave definitely opens up doors. I went to 10,000 lakes festival in MN (located at the same place as We Fest), and this originally claimed "hippie" fest brought so many other niches together with DMB on the bill... Amazing show too! - Highlight of the fest: DMB playing first half of Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven into first half of Jimi Hendrix's All Along The Watch Tower; back to second half of Stairway, then to second half of All Along the Watch Tower... Amazing... DMB!!!

[mrstemperpina]

I'm a big Kenny fan! love him and his music so much!! BUT I think Dave's voice is LEAPS above Kenny's. They voices came together lovely but Dave's on another level vocally!! Both make great music that heals and soothes the soul...just have different ways of doing it. They both inspire me.

[Gillen5]

enjoy it for what it is and be thankful for what you are and what you have, stop arguing and judging and just listen close your eyes and listen. because your alive and well be thankful for that and just embrace one another and things like this ..

[Hudie13]

Isn't it crazy the effect Dave has on music? Seriously, I know a ton of Dave Matthews fans wouldn't listen to country music... Especially if this was just Kenny throughout the whole song. No disrespect to Kenny, but Dave just opens people up to another side of music. No matter what he sings on, he makes it good. A+ for both artists in this song.

[esp539]

stinking Renee Zellweger, she broke his heart.....

[keljar4848]

I am dying to know what they were talking about when they stopped singing and started talking off mike.

[bbrennaman]

I wish I knew what they were saying too.

[darcangelo27]

this song would be sick if kenny played with the band and if dave was playing guitar and standing up he along with all performers sing better while standing up

[chipnshakes]

I do not listen to country music...add DAVE...I've listened to this song about 20 times in 24 hours.

[keljar4848]

I am listening right along with you! This is a GREAT song. Love Kenny and Dave together. I've heard it a few times on the radio and never paid attention until I saw them do it on the CMAs. NOW I AM HOOKED!!

[cjnavaneet]

low volume...very low volume

[calamitylauren]

I like that song, wish they did more of a duet, more than, "it's my turn to sing, now it's your turn to sing". I'm a hardcore DMB fan, and feel kinda bad for Kenny that the crowd went apeshit when Dave came onstage.

[Kassijuneballoon]

I too am hardcore DMB! I wouldn't feel sorry for Kenny though... he does quite well for himself. Chalk the "apeshit" crowd up to the excitement of never expecting to see DAVE! at the CMAs. All in all, they both excel at what it is they do.

[Kassijuneballoon]

Just goes to show, some people know a good musician when they see one... Country, Dave (as he and his band are a category of their own)... Music = Music. Art = Art...

[toejam6465]

Wow Does anyone know a guitar tab for this live version that I can look at?

[joconroy16]

Its not about the money. These two men are talented without doubt. With all our country has been through over the last few years... they sweetly reminded us that ... we keep going... to make a difference

[gwh21375]

You get the award for being the 1 person awake on this comment page! Keep up the good work!

[skate3333]

not a fan of kenny but this worked out pretty well.

[ejopps13]

i think kenny is awesome.. both of them together are amazing

[lapointeric]

Great song regardless of whether you prefer Dave or Kenny...........

[svrichardson08]

Not his best performance :( This maybe why he is taking a year off.

[sbuckner021]

1:02 - 1:05 ... got a little rough right there.

[Gavin6996]

Very nice of Dave to fly all that way for 1 minute of his time. Glad he did, pretty song.

[pkmars]

Everyone who performs gets paid at these shows.

[cantstanga]

that would have been terrible if not for dave

[sneefy1]

kenny chesney farts lotion

[thombombb]

Sorry to all you Chesney fans, but in comparison, Dave made him sound utterly amateur-ish.

[sarahskeeney94]

I thought Kenny blew him away

[thombombb]

Well, first off I'm sorry you feel that way. Secondly, I can point out many points in kenny's part where he was OBVIOUSLY laboring to hit some notes. You must be a big country music fan who has never heard of dave matthews, and has never had any musical training.

My dad who is a big country fan, and a moderate fan of kenny chesney, told me that the only thing that kept him from changing the channel was the antipation of dave matthews saving that song, which he did!

[aalbrycht]

Yeah, Kenny was struggling...bummer :-(

Dave killed it. LOVE that he worked with Kenny on this record. It's one of my faves.

[darcangelo27]

He probably didnt have his guitar because this song requires a capo and dave refuses to use a capo in concert just like any real man should. good shit dave never disapoints

[SolSedano1]

Dave uses a capo on his song "Good, Good, Times"

[djcrls]

Yea they went nuts, rightfully so. It was really weird Dave not havin' his guitar. He just looked....naked. He's such an awkward guy, his guitar gives him something to do. You could tell, he just looked uncomfortable. Awesome though, I love it.

[dmbsnowboarder8]

good stuff right there. dave nailed it. kenny was struggling. havin some voice problems maybe?

[cherylovesmusic]

why didnt dave have his guitar? that was what i was thinking the whole time.

[deedisdone]

You country folks just got the treat of a lifetime!!

[cubby102374]

did you hear the crowd go nuts when the man walked out??? gotta love Dave Matthews....

[benna730]

amazing. thanks for getting it up so fast

[smitty2282]

thats what she said

[weedwithwillie]

I love this song! Kenny sunded pretty bad though. Dave was money as usual. Thanks for uploading it
