[noxious890]

The two people that disliked video are homosexuals. I don't know. Suck a penis

[TheDmbfanforever]

So. Damn. Awesome.

[slowhand496]

I was there!

[themadhatter985]

...Damn

[KellieCrosby]

I love how Dave moves his eyebrows. Wish I still had all their albums. When you get hard up for money you get super retarded...

[john28jg]

This was the sickest show I ever saw....can't wait for NJ this summer!

[crazyTKDskwerl]

His voice gives me chills...

[bananachuck124]

dude this song kicks so much ass

[grimgreg1]

Dudeee. So wierd. I was there!!! I go every year to SPAC, and the concert in 2010 at the TUC (Times Union Center) I love Dave!!!

Oh and if you like Dave, try listening to O.A.R.! They're very similar to DMB, and they actually warmed up for Dave either '07 or '08. I forget when, but their Rain Or Shine live disk is amazing. Try it if you like Dave. I love them. And even more, Dave. 

[CMsurvive11]

That was the best concert I probably ever saw. The setlist was unbeatable, the crowd was great, and even with the rain it was fun as hell. I still couldn't believe he played Halloween at the end frickin incredible

[nicchiri]

unbelievable

[Ipso80]

Did anybody notice how Dave started the "Going away" scream two measures early... I don't think that was planned, as Tim Reynolds expression at 2:57 was one of shock when Dave started that early. Haha. Dave's got some lungs on him... Doing that scream at the normal 4 measure length is difficult, at 6 it's just insane. Awesome performance. :D

[Ezhuks]

@Ipso80 Yeah, Dave confused the hell out of Tim, who even stopped for a bit, just in case, and I believe Carter did the fill, but, the beast he is, continued playing as if nothing happened :)

[tehtapemonkey]

I saw them 3 days later at Riverbend Amphitheater in Ohio. Best show i've been too :)

[WilliamdCohen]

how could he ever sing after screaming like that.... i still love the red rocks version more... just how it starts with more of a bang

[stateradio017]

i live in toga, about 15 min walking distance and been to every show since i was in 5th grade in 2000 first halloween ever played here cant wait to see what they pull out this year

[boscokitty74]

i've been to numerous dave concerts and he never sang this!!

[michaelus02]

been to 5 and only heard it once, but man let me tell you it was amazing! They did So much to say into ASTB fake Too much and then halloween, place went nuts, almost as much as when Dave sang Stairway during the last verse of Watchtower in STL

[deedisdone]

5 and only heard it once?? You poor thing. This was my 40 something show and my very first Halloween!

[michaelus02]

yeah i know spoiled, looking forward to seeing them this summer, i bet the groogrux songs are going to start coming into their natural selves this year.

[cpxc]

@boscokitty74 I got it twice in one week last year.

[greendayfrk24]

its very rare. he's played it the past two years at alpine valley though!

[sellthemanicans]

Was there, place was absolute pandemonium. One of the best moments of my life. Not too much beats dmb spac n2 with some great friends and an incredible performance by an incredible band.

[wildgrem]

@sellthemanicans ditto, one of the best times in my life!

[Beaudreau]

of U2? U2's last album was the equivalent of a piece of shit on top of another piece of shit

[Bulldog22031]

I miss the anger with which Dave you used to attack some of his writing.

[JustBreath24]

I agree but understandably his last album was a lot more mornful. And rightfully so. Brillance no matter what :)

[Bulldog22031]

His last album wasn't mournful... it was 99% done by the time leroi moore died. The title was just a tribute and one or two songs were added. Frankly, I haven't really liked an album since Busted. Everyday was alright... but I think DMB is getting to the status of U2... they still kick ass live, but their new albums aren't impressive

[dabeefboy]

I didn't appreciate this song until I heard it live. Dave has that effect on a lotta people, especially at SPAC 09, one of his best concerts ever!!!

[MrReise]

I´m a hughe fan, but I still don´t understand why people are crayz about this song????????

[rtw149]

because its such an awesome song..... and its so rare

[stateradio017]

i think besides that it is so rare, maybe not so rare last tour, but that they all put such emotion into it when they play it, especially dave, its so dark, always gives me chills hearing it, few songs today can say that

[pciochetto]

I dont wanna put you on the spot, but have you seen them live? If yes, have you heard a Halloween? Sooo much energy....Dave screaming...pissed off......perfect encore song. The studio version....in fact....amost of their studio music...just ignore it. Its good, but the live shows are like a three hour orgasm....Hows that sound?

[MrReise]

Yes, I have seen them 11 times on 3 continents, only 2 US shows... they were in NYC for the winter tour 2005, and night 2 had a pretty awesome Halloween encore! (got a little vid of it here...)

But I have to admit that "You never know" would be on my wish list the Nr.1 :)

[pciochetto]

MSG dec 05 was my first show.  Confetti shower, Robert Randolph, Linus n Lucy.....remember it well...bout a 2 hour drive for me. Three continents? Besides the obvious....South America? If not where? I,ve been to all N.A. shows. We drive and see two or three on a week vacation, couple it with a caverns tour or a hike and a rafting trip...and thats the whole week...better than a carribean vaca! Hopin to go the the Gorge this year.

[kbh11boy]

been to several shows, many at spac. aatwt --> halloween, unreal

[twodmbstep312]

i was there. enough said. dmb at spac = priceless

[CCSLT07]

Best show ive ever seen....halloween just was the 2nd cherry on top of an already perfect night!!! Cant wait til saratoga next year

[pciochetto]

Best moment of best show ive seen. I gotta watch it every week or so or i get withdrawal......People leaving at end of watchower. Priceless. Our vanbroke down n we, believe it or not, took a taxi to the show...needless to say we were screaming during jimi. Typical was great, Two step was phenomenal...carter solo great....and we got a free ride back to our van from some great fans we met......

[jpo8423]

we all know this song was written about julia grey.

or we should. anybody know of a significance between julias last name and how dave frequently uses the color grey as a topic in most of his songs?

[sunhoney1]

It's always different. I was at this concert with my cousin and soooo happy I got to see this live again. It's been years.

[holyblowme23]

whats the lyrics? its different

[clbrtwewill]

the moment of realization that this was HALLOWEEN, before the crowd screamed in recognition.... that was the best moment of my entire summer right there =) this makes me sooo happy to see on here!!

[wildgrem]

Hell yeah man...how awesome was this encore!

[dmb7060]

same here = ). it was great cause so many people turned around and started walking off at the end of all along the watchtower too...and then the song ended...and everyone cheered for the end of the show...and then the drums started quietly....

[wildgrem]

Goosebumps...such a dark song but so fucking amazing

[Adamthome1]

Saw it last night live in KC, can not believe they played it, this year its only been played like 5 or 6 times and all but 1 time was on second day of 2 day shows, amazing!

[tbrow012]

I had a friend go to this show and tell me how amazing it was. But to actually be able to see this video is unreal.

[thehammer93]

this was officaily the best concert ever...fuck any1 who disagrees!@!@!@!

[CCSLT07]

This wasnt even in the planned encore....They were going to end with Watchtower but the fans down front chanting halloween made it happen....It was an amazing show and i cant wait til next year

[wildgrem]

ehh it wasnt officially planned but it I doubt it wasthe chant that brought it on...but def cant wait till next SPAC.

[clbrtwewill]

I was there.... awesome surprise for the encore... i had to wait for years to finally experience this one live, was worth the wait. great video cut, thanks for posting!!

[jordanmoran007]

Tim Reynolds is the fucking bomb!!!!!!

[cobo1039]

This is a cut for the diehards!

[jrluciano75]

I finally got to witness this song live in west palm beach this past saturday....worth the wait!!

[jackpaice]

=O i envy you. this song is so dramatic so heavy so beautiful

[tragic1Kingdom]

lucky people, got to see 'halloween'...

[Ameliasscarf]

Thanks 4 the vid.other ones are crap.

[frenchfri412]

i was there to witness this amazing situation to end one of the best shows ever. watchtower then this i mean come on

[wildgrem]

hell yeah!!! Epic encore!

[jayt999]

33 shows 3 trips 2 the gorge cross country still no halloween...hopefully this year at gorge went 0-2 at fenway this year

[bman3587]

This wasn't even on the Set list that night... total improvisation... must say, the night before was somewhat of a let down, but night 2 was epic... hopefully Bethel Woods is this good (this year is woodstock's 40th anniversary... make it special DMB)

[berman1125]

i can remember screeeeaming LOOOOOOOVE LOOOOOOOOOOOVE my voice was fucking shot! best moment ever

[mgkibbles]

This song is so dark and fucked up... I love it.

[Bellissimo247]

I've been lucky enough to have seen this twice this tour! SPAC n2 2009 will always have a place in my heart <3

[Nirvana7060]

this gives me chills

[Stevorino]

so fucking intense, shits nuts

[TrophyBlendShooter]

BAD ASS

[elev8urmynd]

Every time they play this live it is kick ass! If you get the video from the Gorge from a few years back you can see another bad ass rendition of this. I have seen him 6 times hoping every time that he will play this I have yet to see it. I get 2 chances this year as ill see them both nights here in Indy!WOOT

[mikeybabies]

just got epic chills

[daniel2639]

Insane

[mwschmi]

i wish i had a video of watchtower right before this song

[Crazeedrummer06]

The audio on this is really great. did you get it from Greppson's tape?

[tomaskalnoky]

Tim adds soooo much to this song. Amazing.

[MenDieInNY]

such an amazing moment when he went into this after along the watchtower. So epic

[redsoxsrule]

anyway you got the whole concert and will be making it into a dvd soon like last year 2008 spac n2?

[birderdj]

IDK as you can see the video quality is not that great, due to the rain all night out on the lawn. My camera was pretty much a goner by the end of the show.

[redsoxsrule]

actually i really thought the footage was amazing. Well if you can make a dvd like last years do it becuase that was one of the best looking dvd's i've seen last year.

[yosteve11]

TIm makes this song better!

[bman3587]

Awesome show... kinda sucks that he played it the very next show... makes it seem less special.

[berman1125]

no.......

[yeaaboy167]

this was such a good night... i couldnt stop jumping up n down this whole song with the rest of the crowd !!

[tennisaf]

AHHHH!!!  It was amazing!!!

[stackleft]

I don't get the hoopla over this song. Maybe I need to hear it live.

[pciochetto]

Rarely played, overpowering, Dave SCREAMING for like 5 minutes, (That why it hasent been in an encore for over 2 years), Just a guy pissed of at a chick and venting........whats not to like?

[mixtaperadio]

imagine you and your girl or who knows you like men! and your deep dicking for close to 30 mins sweat pouring down the smell of nasty sex.

this is the song!

[berman1125]

by far the best moment i have ever witnessed as a dmb fan

[mixtaperadio]

did you sync this with greppsons tape>?

[bman3587]

Is his copy of the concert this good? sweet... I am actually downloading it right now!!! Awesome.

[bman3587]

Nevermind... I am downloading MonkeyJams torrent... I read about greppson's recordings in the antsmarching forums... hopefully MonkeyJams has a good one aswell.

[packersfan8620]

this song was absolutely awesome, this is my buddies favorite song and it was crazy when he played this

[tennisaf]

I remember heading out from the pavilion towards the end of watchtower then doing what we call in the military an "about face" and being like no way...NO WAY!!! Such an amazing night!!!!

[Nirvana7060]

hahahaha i saw loads of people do the same thing- tons of people turned around at the end of watchtower to head out and then the drum solo started and people started one by one going...no.....could it be.......??? NO......F*CKING WAY!!!

[leslielundt]

can't believe they closed SPAC with this! you are a lucky person.
