AMERICAN BABY INTRO DAVE MATTHEWS

[Swordsin68]

Who the hell disliked this? Jesus, people, this is a simple, yet powerful song from these guys! On second thought, I don't wanna know who disliked it. They have no taste in music anyhow.

[showtytony]

Man forget what anybody says; These guys are nothing but the truth. Damn!

[TheEdwerd31]

i love how boyd plays the violin in this. . its the most beautiful. .

[MysticDMBherb]

Probably my favorite DMB song

[TheOnetimeatbandcamp]

the proudest pimp ever...DAVE MATTHEWS BABY!!!

[teddycozmik]

I think they quit playing it because of butch. Otherwise it is one of the dopest jams around. They should bust it out with Heartbeat Intro.

[magin9131]

messed up on the only two fucking lines haa

[ChaseAwayDrummer]

haha

[jibbin4livin]

The most beautiful sound

well put scarred2112, They are so incredible. CARTER!

[lamancha91]

Simply amazing.

[scarred2112]

Just shows you what 6 (including their touring keyboardist Butch Taylor) super-talented musicians can do with a *4*-note motif, and knowing each other so well that they can feed off everyone's dynamics to build and build until it's an unstoppable force... these 4 little notes.

[ChaseAwayDrummer]

nice *speech* - but it's 5 notes.

[63IRISH63]

@scarred2112 I miss Butch. 

[hobson4242]

Saw This Song From Second Row In Charlotte, NC...Unbelieveable. Thought Dave's Head Was Gonna Explode!

[TW0STEP50]

american baby intro. one of the best songs EVER. hands down

[JMAccordino]

LOVE AB INTO... THE BEST ! almbum version doesnt do this song justice

[poopies474]

do they ever play american baby after american baby intro?

[Bronco1189]

quite often

[mistadobalina29]

no they dont, american baby hasnt been played the past several tours

[nzsurfer]

Yes Lisbon was the best. listen to it on the album AMAZING

[chelo61]

smack my ass plz!!! 3

[Noorka]

im bored. ne1 that wants 2 chat with a hot 18F just msg me on my MSN in my profile. n

[DMB4564]

Butch tore it up in this one. Soooo Right

[reebbeer36]

This is just the best intro ever, not saying this one imparticular, but in general. Awesome song too.

[almarkl]

Anyone else get goosebumps? =:-)

[galena33]

I kinda agree with mschabowski, but not all versions are that good. The best, however, for all you rookies out there, is the 5-25-07 version in Lisbon, Portugal. Nothing touches it. Nothing.

[jordanxxx]

Can say that shit and not post a link!

=)

[galena33]

Sorry, Jxxx, I don't have a link! I have the CD and it is incredible!! If you want me to burn you a copy of the show, let me know!!!

[OpuSIII]

@jordanxxx Enjoy! ;) youtube.com/watch?v=_JHByHlIxd­M&feature=related

[IWantDaveKast]

@jordanxxx it is live trax 10...

[sabres99]

5-25-07 in portugal is the best version i couldnt agree more....so much feeling and power in it...

[patdocsteeler38]

8-26-07

seriously, above the 5-25 version, which is great

[boomshaka21]

5-27-2007, alternate lyrics...incredible.

[rushequalslove]

9-12-05, red rocks. 12 minutes of bliss.

[bobsacamano8]

7/8/06 fenway park.. best live song ive ever heard

[simplecreativity]

YES. Live Trax 6 is one of my favorite albums, largely for that track, and Two Step right after it. It's my personal favorite American Baby Intro performance, along with my favorite versions of a few others, as well (Grey Street, DDTW, Bartender, Louisiana Bayou).

Cheers.

[JonnyArmani41]

The set tonight flowed well. DMB opened up with One Sweet World into

Don't Drink The Water, then followed with the American Baby Intro

leaving many in the room with goose bumps as the energy level

skyrocketed. The groove persisted all the way through to Rapunzel.

We're sitting backstage now that the show's over, listening to Mike

Doughty's Haughty Melodic. A new crew favorite. Getting ready for the

overnight drive to Wisconsin.

The DMB Crew

[mccarth719]

@galena33 have you ever heard the DMB live trax vol 10 version

[Maneldarita]

@galena33 Agreed! I was there, and it was one of the best experiences of my life! the whole concert, it was out of this world! You guys should listen to the album (live trax vol.10), and you will have to agree that it was, undoubtedly, one of the best DMB concrts EVER!

From Portugal, with love!

[TheEdwerd31]

@Maneldarita i have all of the live trax. . and Portugal is an amazing show. . lucky

[MysticDMBherb]

@galena33 I think its tied with Live Trax 6 version

[mschabowski]

So much animosity...they're all good in they're own way. Unless you have a small penis then feel free to disagree......

[pictureitfilms]

ive heard em all.. best is from the fenway park live trax... bar none

[TannerDMB41]

Is this sped up?

[philh2100]

you guys dont know anything....the absolute best version of this masterpeice is on the 2007 Summer Tour Sampler CD that came with Live At Piedmont Park. That version is truly amazing! Blows me away everytime! he puts so much more into it

[ajdavidson17]

Dont you just love the Tingly Jinglys you get when you hear this song. I might die if they play this song at the dallas show this summer.

[bds192]

when im high, i am seconds away from crying in some parts

[jordanxxx]

aww dude. I hear ya..

Great comment!

[willyousingalong]

This live version is so much better than the studio. You get no feeling from the studio one and hearing it live makes me want to cry. The force he's putting behind this is amazing.

[jordanxxx]

Truly!

thanks for watching

[13skinsfan69]

The Stand Up Songs are starting to remind me of some of the Everyday songs. So so in the studio. But when you here them live it's just so fucking amazing. Heard this live and almost shit in my pants.

[jpthede]

yeah. this is nothing like the studio version. i mean the studio version still rocks and its too bad that some people wont appreciate the studio version until they see these songs live. but this song gives me shivers hearing it live, its awesome.

[fiones44]

This is the best version I've so far heard of this song, simply amazing, Boyd in particular stands out soo much. I think this is the best I've ever heard from him.

[kaine969]

Boyd Mothafuckin Tinsley

[jimimalmsteen7]

this is an amazing instrumental song of DMB!!! THE BEST BAND WITH DREAM THEATER!!!!!

[Pdub0000]

this song at the gorge is better

[jordanxxx]

To each it's own.

[lairandir]

one of the most intense dmb live songs ever

[agarsxbomber2010]

there are really only three:kit kat jam, #34, and AB Intro. I think kit kat jam is a much better jam than this but this show didn't have a lot of energy in it. DMB Live Trax 6 at Fenway Park is a MUCH better version.

[Roose63]

Nah the best is from the 8 disc Red Rocks set. Weekend on the Rocks is a compilation of this special 8 disc set I have. They do Dreamgirl with the chanting intro as well on it and Old Dirt Hill is simply amazing as well.

[bravesfan171]

One of the greatest segue songs they ever do live. Anyone Seen The Bridge? is also amazing. Carter just tears it up.

[SarahBrett07]

I was at that show. It was Starwood in Antioch TN. Bad Ass

[BlazeWithPenguins]

anyone know what show this is from?

[drummer1364]

It says July 20, 2005 in Nashville,TN at the end of the video.

[DrummaMan75]

Does anyone know what this song is about?

It is one of my favorite DMB songs. SO powerful live...meadows version was amazing this year!!

[jordanxxx]

Arguing.

[dreamervsnightmare]

wow this is a really good recording!!!! what camara did u use!!! it recorded the sound perfectly!!! awesome!!!!!

[jordanxxx]

Sure does.

[SamPerrault]

i love the way Butch Taylor plays piano. its so peaceful and full. almost ethereal

[RamAirTA98]

This crowd is insanely quiet. It's kinda creepy.. But I love it nonetheless.

[devilasstank]

Theyre not high yet.. security is everywhere

[Neocamel]

Saw second West Palm show last night. I had never heard ABI performed like that. Aside from Don't drink the water, it was the best song of the night. AMAZYING!

[MitchOMeara]

The ABI at The Meadows (Aug. 5) this year was insane.

[thedunesuk]

i fucking love this tune but i wish boyd and stefan would chill out and be more tasteful. instead they seem to just play over the top of everything without using their ears. if they listened to what carter and butch were doing they could learn alot.

[RamAirTA98]

Everyone is playing the way they should be. It's up to the people at the sound boards to equalize their instruments.

[mbass081]

i think they don't know how to play with him sometimes. carter needs someone like victor with him.

[crashintome74]

At alpine 2007 it was the best ABI i've seen

[jshaft5000]

Did they play it the first night?

[GRtheMan]

second night, I agree

[Takhilin]

Agreed.

[honeusure]

i saw them not too long ago at a neighborhood fest...indeed they are good!

[azdamian]

7.20.05 -Antioh TN -E.Sinclair

[portiz1984]

seriously... what show is this from?

[jfreed009]

That is my favorite musical piece ever

[greystreeter41]

Wow! The first one! Im loving the groove Cater is doing around the fast part. Cool to see how it evolved.

[gfbrida]

This was Nashville, 2005. First time A.B.I was played live ever...I was at the show...it was THE highlight.

[andrihar]

musical wonder

[nardo363636]

After watching that i had to take a cold shower because it gave me a massive errection! DMD RULES

[3ffigy]

Thanks you so much!!! What show is this from?
