Seriously folks, after seeing this on TV I went and bought an Orchestra Baobab CD and it is the most amazing CD I have. It's unbelievable. There are a few available but start with "Specialists in All Styles". I will blow your head up.
This is such an amazing video on so many levels, not because dave and trey are in Africa playing good tunes with the locals... but because people who barely know one another can sit down and through music come up with something so beautiful it makes people happy. Music heals.
My favorite part is at minute 2:16 when Dave belts out into the chorus and you can see birds taking off from behind them. This is a moment in time that you just can't create. It just happens and is so beautiful.
no no no no, i just think he is always surrounded by black people and it makes him look way too white, idk, his attude, i have something for this guy that just pisses me off, the harmonica and all that... and please dont call black people "african americans", specially when they are african... not everyone in the world who is black is an african american, thanks :)
true music...where color or race does not matter...all that matters is making beautiful music that means something to someone....dave is the best IMHO to writing in what he believes...no where did i see Dave advertise this...i lukily came across it by browsing...he does it for the love of music....the best
I saw this whole special and I think the best thing I've ever seen is when Trey teaches them Phish's "Bouncing Round the Room". I can't seem to find a video of it anywhere though :(
how about you know what you're talking about before you post? In other words, if you learn to spell "Trey", maybe people will take you somewhat seriously. Just my 2 cents.
Lol, you guys have issues. I'm with liv4dmb, I think he/she was just kidding. If you look at the video, TREY has a strange look (2:02) on his face when they start speaking a different language. Note TREY not TRAY. Oh, and before you get all defensive, I WAS JUST KIDDING ;0
Excuse me. But on the other "so damn lucky" video you bitched about me talking about something off topic...what does "i love lamp" have anything to do with anything other than anchorman? Wow, you're the actual fool.
You like it!? Me too man! Youtube wouldn't let my type it all in one comment, it was too long. I enjoy people like you. Really keep the blood flowing eh! Anyway, I'm not mad at all, don't be misled. I just love a good debate...and it seems you have nothing more to say? Okay good! My life is my work...and at work, I do have access to a computer. Do you know what work is? Haha, see you later man. Good luck in life.
to me, this songs means alot. i respect that dave knows where he came from and he remembers that. that is wut makes dave, david john matthews. well done!
the birds at 1:24 thats something that only happens in cartoons. My life has been made... :)
