  • RECENTLY!!!

  • RUN FOREST

  • I wish I could go back in time and kill the people that talked through this genius. Epic fail.

  • great performance, but it looks like hes in the electronics department at a target

  • un-tuned and he still plays it well

  • damn he looks so young!!!!!

  • He knows the guitar is badly out of tune, but he doesn't tune it? Painfull.

  • Love child of Coolness, Sheldon Cooper, and Tom Hanks.

  • He is the best rhythym guitarist EVER!!

  • Thank you for posting this!

    One thing this clip reaffirms is that A-holes are everywhere -- even in long lost archival footage of Dave Matthews from 1994.

    I wish they would all just shut the F up.

    :P

  • this almost looks like it's from the red rocks muesum. can anyone confirm or tell me where it is from?

  • @soam24

    This was at Blockbuster Music in Memphis, TN

  • 0:26 to skip to Dave and past the screwy video. Thanks for posting this. Dave is amazing!

  • Dave, believe me, you ARE fucking cool.

  • He's always had that Tom Hanks receding hair line. Seems the only thing that's changed within the facial features is the definition of the cheeks... Am I gay for observing this aspect? I think not!!!

  • Forest Gump is awesome at guitar. He should play more often.

  • "Recently", one of my favorite dmb songs EVERRRR

  • People who are talking through this performance are idiots. Didn't they know they were in the presence of a future legend? I guess not:-)

  • You are still the cool man Dave.

  • This dude is mad talented... people need to recognize...

  • well, he's certainly come a long way.....

  • this is a promo at a record store guys not a show....theres obviously going to be people talking lmao

  • STFU ppl you have no idea or appricition for musical greatness... go talk somewhere else.. ughhhhhh

  • looks like a baby

  • Forest, Forest Gump

  • i dont kno about u but i can relate to DaveM with an infatuation pertaining to a perfectly tuned guitar. it makes me happier than most things in this world.

  • he's so hot, and an amazing artist.....

  • damn hes like 20 in this video

  • It is "Recently".

  • shorts :P

  • This man is great...

  • his voice has not really changed. he looks 15 here

  • what song is this?

  • @ChippyBlane recently

  • reminds me of the movie Billy Madison, the style i guess

  • holy shit i would have killed to gotten the opportunity to see dave like this!! sadly i was only 4...best band ever!

  • @DMBdeerCreek4life Same here man, same here.

  • @DMBdeerCreek4life Sadly I was just being born.

  • holy shit i would have killed to gotten the oppurtunity to see dave like this!! sadly i was only 4...best band ever!

  • dave matthews is beast on acoustic XD

  • people if you like guitar playing serous style check out Tommy Emanuel!! i just came across him he's amazing

  • Cross between Forrest Gump and Sling Blade.

  • does he or does he not look a lot like Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory... lol...

  • @MadmanAndMystic26 ...does not

  • Very cool.

    Forrest Gump!

  • he is the best by far! no one can even compare!!!!!! EVER

  • What song is this?

  • Back when he tuned his own guitars lol.

    And to think, the audience has NO idea who he'll become

  • @ cosmic: This is Recently off Remember Two Things, I believe.

  • @Nichell122 "Recently".

  • he still sounds exactly like that. all these years later.. outstanding.

    does anyone know the name of this song? i've never heard it before.

  • Dave is truely amazing. I met him and was pouring tears the whole time. hands down best artist since ever!

  • Oh wow! He looks so young!! This is great!

  • 25 Shows and he still is the Man!

  • Wow! Love it!

  • Thought you would like this. Crazy.

  • wow...i was 4 years old, barely speaking and dave was already doing beautiful beautiful music.

  • Before he could afford the his Taylor guitars... the Gibson is pretty cool though.

  • Great video but he looks a little like Forest Gump

  • @albusdd2241 good call

  • Dave is the best great song

  • I LOVE DAVE SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

  • dave matthews is legendary...its official

  • How did he keep it up with that audience. Couldn't even hear yourself think with all the noise.

  • @thesaddoc ik right? i guess thts th attitude that got him where he is now. :)

  • i guess he chose to go with the best of whats around because it seemed fitting with his guitar

  • looks like forest gump

  • Please check out Toddmakesnoise! I dk if my last post posted, but please check him out!

  • gr3at jam Dave keep it up.

  • Dave Matthews is anything but simplistic.

  • he looks like forrest gump and even sounds like him a little in this vid lol!

  • SHUT UP stupid 1994 people. UGH my 12 year old counterpart should go slap them all...LISTEN! Hes a genius!

  • by "counterpart" do u mean "lover"?

  • no, i mean me you idiot, i was 12 in 1994

  • His approach to guitar is so under appreciated.

  • couldn't agree more. A lot of people tend to toss it off as really simplistic and basic, when he's usually doing a really creative and difficult rhythm as well as singing.

  • @HalfpennyCat he is a self perclaimed percussionist

  • @HalfpennyCat Not really. He has won plenty of awards for his acoustic guitar skills throughout the years.

  • @HalfpennyCat  I know right... hes great..

  • @HalfpennyCat

    Not by me!!

  • @HalfpennyCat under appreciated? He's one of the most popular musicians in the world!

  • @mattgardner20 sadly - no... In the US, yes...

  • I LOVE DMB...but, honestly, don't you think he looks like Forrest Gump in this video??? ha, ha, ha!

  • i've always thought he and tom hanks kinda looked alike

  • @BrunoSwavaholi YES! I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT TOO! good call.

  • Recently is a great song. You should put it in the title of your clip; you'd get more views.

  • dave mattews looks alot like Ant from ant and dec

  • Ha! Now that you mention it Dave did look a liitle like Ant back then (the key difference being that Dave has a forehead while Ant has a fivehead).

    Of course, Dave has shit loads of talent, while Ant has none...

  • if my mom saw this, she would faint from his cuteness! hehe

  • tell your mom she wouldn't be the only one.

    dave is so hot.

  • Very nice. What pisses me off is those who talk through the whole performance. If you want to tak go some where else.

  • @RivaWitch I completely agree, whats the point in coming to see someone play if you don't care to listen.

  • @RivaWitch Totally agree... he's out there giving his best and people just couldn't care any less.

  • Just like a good wine, it gets better and tastier with age!

  • Comment removed

  • this is tight. first good song to open, recently is hella good. and tight to see him so young and .. well new. pretty cool to see this and where they are now you know? amazing really. made it big time. if you were in that crowd watchin this.. you think they would be as big as they are now? no..

  • They werent new. They had been recording for 3 years at this point. He actually mentions hoping to see them all later that night at the New Daisy Theatre in Memphis. He was playing shows at listings like Waterloo, the Grandstands, Oak Mountain (opening for Phish), with a huge college following, playing at George Washington U., Wake Forest, Virginia, Appalachian State, and U of Cali. Not to mention there was the hype for his up and coming album, Under the Table and Dreaming, September 20, 1994..

  • So if you were in the crowd, I hope you were thinking Dave was gonna make it big. On November 9, 1993, DMB released its first album, Remember Two Things, and the tour that followed is what made him huge. He hit news everywhere because, as quoted by Rolling Stones, "By allowing fans to tape shows for their personal use, DMB created a highly interactive community that continues to this day". This tour he was on in the Fall of 1994 was his defining moment in history.

  • @llegorr2 I was in the crowd. I shot this video. Great set and a cool guy to hang with after the show. I still have the original Gen 0 video sitting in a box. Shot it on Super 8. Surprised this leaked as I only made 3 copies.

  • @mattsavard for real?

  • @dmg8787 Very serious. I was the one who yelled out the "I'll back you up" request. IT was for my girl at the time. If you see the start before the blue screen you can kinda hear her saying "Maaatt" (sounds more like Myaat). Anyways.. yeah I made 2 copies outside mine. One for the dude in the gold hat & glasses (in front of camera to the left) and we handed one to dave on stage at the new daisy later that night. We had talked to him after this gig and told him it was coming. Very cool guy.

  • yeah tight man. it's tight how tight they played before the band was even tight you know?

  • does anyone know what he's playing in the little jam at 3:35?

  • It's the notes A, G and D with a cool rhythm

  • why are so many people talking?! shut up! (I know it was so long ago, but still, someone is performing! people are so rude.)

  • was this in Memphis?

  • this is a good video for all struggling musicians, don't give up.

  • your so right

    well I hope atleast haha

    but ya he makes me love writing music

  • those people had no idea how big he was going to be

  • i love him!

  • best artist since 1990 hands down

  • Since 1990? Matthews is ridiculously underrated--by myself too, until I started learning his songs on the guitar. He's among the best ever in rock, critics be damned.

  • @Ledfloydstones i think alot of people would disagree with that statement, not to say he isnt great cause he obviously is

  • @Ledfloydstones couldn't agree with you more :)

  • @Ledfloydstones

    im thinking best artist since 1970.

    since mr. hendrix stepped down

  • wow......didn't know he ever wore shorts...actually he always did in the early days i suppose but.....his legs look funny after all these years seeing him in pants.

  • I'm not gay. But this man mesmorizes me.

  • How could so many people be talking! My jaw would have been on the ground!

  • haha he looks like forrest gump. :)

  • Exactly what i was going to say

  • look it his legs...lol where did he learn how to play?

  • hes hitting an effect is not like a strange thing.

    he also just dances that way

  • Dave once said that he plays the guitar in all the wrong ways... funny how it sounds so right,

  • It always amazes me how you don't really pay attention to someone's gradual aging over the years, but then when you jump back and see footage of them from 14 years ago, it hits you upside the head. He looks like a little kid here!

  • still got that movie projector 5 head...

  • Seeing him play Satellite and songs like this at such a young age is incredible. After seeing him at OK City this year it makes you appreciate the journey. I've got some vids from the OK City show in my channel. Check em out if you want.

  • He looks like forest gump

  • lol

  • Holy shit a young Dave in shorts.

  • Viva o Live Trax 10!!!!

    Great video (to see him in shorts...)but I feel frustrated with all the talking...SHHHHHHhhhh!

  • thank you for the vid... 14 anos atrás, e a carreira dele evolui muito rapido, graças ao talento incrivel dele.

  • OMG! young dave =]

    goddd..hes come so far.

    still sounds great.

    I love him.

  • HE'S SO LITTLEEEE!!!!!

  • he's around 30 years old in this video

  • yea i believe your right. my guess would be prolly late 20's.

  • Why are you guessing? The date is written right in the description. Dave was born 9th of January 1967, and this was 8-10-1994, which means that he was 27. Tadaa!

  • lol ok smartass if you calculated that he was 27 at the time of this video, I GUESS my assumption was right, right? 27 is in the late 20's right? right....SO IMMA GUESS ALL I WANT BECAUSE MY GUESSES ARE ALWAYS RIGHT! RIGHT?

  • I don't think 27 really qualifies as late 20's, but I still don't understand why you didn't just look it up, you might as well have been wrong with guessing.

  • LOL i GUESS your not as smart as i thought you were....27 is in the late 20's.....peace.

  • 20-23 early 20s

    24-26 mid 20s

    27-30 late 20s

  • i think 27 because hes the same age as my dad

  • fuck he looks like hes 20

  • That's awesome. I got to see him for the first/second time last year and the third time this summer and I've been his fan since I was 4. My sister 'introduced' me to his music when I was probably 10 but I didn't even know his name when I was 4, now everytime I hear Where Are You Going now it's so nostalgic. It was like fate, ha.

  • This is history caught on film.

  • I was 5, and at 6 i was a fan, my father was becoming a huge fan, and would blast any and all of DMB music, and i would go crazy running around like it was a game or somthing.

    Finally got to seem him live when i was 15

  • I was a year old during this video, ha. I would have been a fan then.

  • I was just being born when this thing was made lol, that dosent make me any less of a fan tho :)

  • This is an astounding document of music in conflict with blind social order. How David survided this I dont know. Must have been money.

  • this is awesome

  • 4:50 lol the guy goes SPOTLIGHT SPOTLIGHT i <3 that song to bad they dont do it anymore only bad recordings on youtube but w/e though

  • He used to rock the pajama pants, and hypercolor T-shirts.

  • i cant tell it sounds like the first guy yells Satellite and then someone yells spotlight

  • everybody starts somewhere, u guys should be lucky theres something like this out there if your a real fan. its early dm thats pretty kool

  • i was four years old :)

    i wish i was born earlier so i could have appreciated him throughout his career.

    instead of just now.

  • This is awesome but why won't the people shut up??? LOL.

    Dude, Dave rocks.  He doesn't need fashion to make him good!

  • he must be toms half brother or something

  • yeah, dave matthews is brothers with tom hanks

  • Tall socks and shorts!!!

  • I love all dave's old stuff and new stuff...so cool to go back in time! If you think about true fans have watched dave grow up. It's so cool, that dave let us into his head for all these years.

  • well spake

  • "Quit messin aroun'! Doo stuuff!" lol

  • U talking about Remember Two Things?

  • so cool. I love this song, reminds me of... things

  • Dave's a baby in this! I've never seen him in shorts.

  • My God! He was so young!

  • Nice to see that he served in the army.

  • hahahaha

  • That was awesome. So fresh. It is funny seeing Dave in shorts

  • awesome

  • this is amazing! thanks so much for posting!

  • I used to have a cd of these songs made around this time. Does anyone know where I can get another copy?

  • haha! when dave used to dress like a spaz! awesome nastalgia!

  • recently
