I tried to decypher the lyrics, and found them posted at DMBalmanac the answer's gonna be "stay quiet" you got your time to speak stay quiet, time to speak What has become of us? chasing the storms away, we do following the bombs down to see what they busted up what has become of us? turn your head for the blood couldn't we just go dancing? hotgun is pointed at your head, dear so I wonder, why worry about the spider on your leg, babe? why worry? so know all the way, yeah
fuck every one who doesnt like this song its about his sister geting murderd by her husband than he killed himself so if you dont like it keep it to your self
This is no question my favorite DMB song, I feel like if I ever had the priviledge to hear this live I may cry cause I know what this song actually means to Dave and you can tell he is remembering his sister during this song getting choked up at times. DMB fan for life, proud to be in this "cult"
@bleedingxhearts2 Oi! Fucking Chill Out Yeah? If you actually listen to the music and stop critisizing other people you might actually notice what she is on about. Shotgun.. BOOM! Got It Yet? :L
@bleedingxhearts2 Yeah, I know that, im 14, and been listening to him scince I was 8? Atleast I dont listen to shit music like Lady Gaga. And when I wrote Boom! I was reffering to the Drums after him Singing Shotgun. So thanks for your "Classy" Comment, I do Know History about Dave! Ive even been to his Concerts here in the Uk, hes Kick ass! So I would never say anything to disrespect him. So thank- you! :)
This song is on the 2007 Summer tour sampler disc. It was a special pre-order warehouse members only CD for Piedmont Park, you can find it online, only live recording of shotgun available.
@RonBurgandyistheman Gotta get to the Caravan, I'm so thankful they're at least doin that, I was soooo bummed 2K11 would be dmbless, how could there be summer without them?! The 8 shows I've seen aren't enough, I need more!
Music doesn't make me cry. However, Shotgun changed things. This is by far the most beautiful DMB song I've ever heard. Let alone the most beautiful song I've ever heard. Period.
I will cave if I ever hear this song live. I can't stop listening to this damn song, and I just discovered it.
@jamesbuddy63 DMB Caravan in Chicago. played this last night. Never heard it before then so had to look it up this morning. great song, as was their cover of sweet emotion.
This song is so awesome! I wish they would record it in the studio along with "Break Free." If anyone knows of a studio version of either one, please let me know.
One of the few rare songs that I've had the pleasure to see live...since I was there!!! And this is still the best version I've heard of it. Last time I saw DMB was this night too :(
Guys deffinately listen to dave more, most girls that "like" dave are just party sluts and are caught up with the scene that dmb is unfortunately seen as, a big drunk fest. Dont get me wrong, theres a bunch of bros that are like that too, but when it comes down to the true fans who really can relate to his songs and can really appreciate them, guys take the cake.
guys its all good. don't even worry if some douches want to call it a cult. I don't give a shit what they think. All i know is dave shows are the best nights of my life. We know its awesome. Thats all that matters
@saasoccer2009 AMEN! Thanks for sticking up for our fellow fire dancers, red and black antennas waving, we all do it the same, wish more people realized that and shined the light on love.
If kindness is your kind then heaven will be yours before you meet your end... Squirm
hmmm... a thoughtless band with a bunch of mindless fans? i see a band thats been playing successfully for 20 years, and despite the past decade containing the EPITOME of crappy music, DMB ANTS continue to enjoy the most THOUGHTFUL, talent reckoning music of our time. Despite what you think, they are the greatest touring act of our time. Numbers don't lie.
Respond to this video... @DMB41TwoStep I'd like to vote up over and over, I'd pay anything to see them! Thankfully DMB isn't about that and if it was a lot of money, it would be for going towards some kind of benefit charity or something...
look. if you dont like what you read or dont like dave matthews band, or the community, then watch something else. and teh dave matthews fans are most certainly not a cult, its a family.
@muzikman1793 Me too! I always leave with a new friend. I've had a herniated disk for my last four shows and walked with a cane, I was never shoved or hurt and everyone was very considerate.
If kindness is your king, then heaven will be yours before you meet your end. ~Squirm
Especially when everyones singing together, you will never feel an energy like that between people who don't know eachother personally but can all connect on a shining the light on love mentality.
played this at the 8/1 show in indy...was awesome...ended first night with watchtower then into stairway to heaven and back to watchtower....it was amazing
dude after the 7/31/09 fiasco, night 2 at indian deserved Shotgun. 351 days later he plays it again. The first show on 7/31, Dave broke a string on Bartender, forgot the words to Shake Me, and Carter broke his pedals on You Never Know. Night 2's crowd got the first Shotgun in almost a year, Burning Down the House, and the first Say Goodbye since last fall.
in an interview Dave said this song wasnt playing out well in the studio and that they needed new direction... then got a new producer and all new songs
there was a video from the gorge floating around on here where he went off a lil harder in the 2nd verse and it was sick.. but thats the gorge, if ya get a chance, go there, he gets wayyy more motivated there red rocks and new york... phenominal
yeah send me your email and ill send you almost any bootleg you want. that goes for anyone, ive got about 200 bootlegged dave shows. im also in the process of putting up all the videos i got on the dave and friends cruise from 06, cause all the shit from that on youtube sucks, so inquire if anyone wants any specific shows
i think this is the best version of this song. I love the way the violin sounds. I listened to the newer versions and they don't do it for me. I love the way this one sounds. Anyway, great band and great music.
Such a great song, amazing quality. One of my favorite vids. Roi with some great sax work, Boyd strutting on the violin, and Dave with some great lyrics. Stefan also pounds this one while Carter lays down the law. My favorite newer dmb song for sure
Great auido and video, you are so cool for posting, thanks a lot, I love dave's intro's to this song...."couldn't we just go dancing"...gonna be the next dmb catch phrase...
THIS version is truly the best, best lyrics and best performance by the entire band on this track. I dont care for the newer lyrics but this was when he was experimenting with the lyrics as usual playing the new summer tunes. And with Leroi being injured, dont count on an album anytime soon folks.
you know what tho man imho i think the new version just showed what the song was based upon you know...about his sister and he finally let us know...thats what i think
yea but in this version SPECIFICALLY there is clearly much more energy shown, shadowing pretty much every other performance of this song. Im sure you can relate to what Im saying.
I supposed I should be grateful for the posting of this video and I am. But 'twostepn2dave' moves the camera way too much. It's like you just got the thing and you've got 'ants in your pants'. It can be quite irritating. But thanks just the same. I hope you got it out of you already. Next time just stick to the screen, it covers a variety of shots and with clear extreme close-ups.
when this song ends i realize that i haven't breathed for 8 minutes and 45 seconds

THIS version is truly the best, best lyrics and best performance by the entire band on this track. I dont care for the newer lyrics but this was when he was experimenting with the lyrics as usual playing the new summer tunes. And with Leroi being injured, dont count on an album anytime soon folks.

you know what tho man imho i think the new version just showed what the song was based upon you know...about his sister and he finally let us know...thats what i think

yea but in this version SPECIFICALLY there is clearly much more energy shown, shadowing pretty much every other performance of this song. Im sure you can relate to what Im saying.

Great performance!
I supposed I should be grateful for the posting of this video and I am. But 'twostepn2dave' moves the camera way too much. It's like you just got the thing and you've got 'ants in your pants'. It can be quite irritating. But thanks just the same. I hope you got it out of you already. Next time just stick to the screen, it covers a variety of shots and with clear extreme close-ups.

WOW this song has changed so much ever since he first wrote it and the last time he played it at SPAC 6/21/08 I like the newer versions better though

Is that some king of Ovation 12 string? Or what? I have never seen a guitar like that in my life. He plays it on some of these newer songs.

Its not a round back, so its not an Ovation. Its a Veillette Gryphon.

i never thought my favorite DMB song would come from a post "Before These Crowded Streets" record, but i think this one did it.
