Ants Marching - Dave Matthews Band - Mile High Music Fest

[mhsquads4869]

Is it just me or does Carter Beauford just seem like one of the most talented set players in the world right now? He just has a great sense of musicality about him. It's great...He's great!

[scottmbolt]

Thumbs up if you could just listen to that intro ALL DAY LONG!

[mhsquads4869]

Carter Beauford is the shit!

[nanovianna]

miss the acoustic guitar sound on this version.. the electric guitar just steps up front

[19YelloW88]

beautiful orange starotocaster

[santosjarren]

the best.

[MonsterTruckManiaTV]

Every version of this song I have heard with Jeff playing, it just doesn't sound right. I don't really like Jeff's sound, just isn't as clean or crisp as the late great LeRoi. RIP LeRoi. But I do like Tim's guitar playing, very nice!!!

[Dnt132]

@MonsterTruckManiaTV LeRois sax will always be musically better no doubt about it, you are not a true dave's matthews fan unless you agree with that statement. So yes i agree LeRois sound was so much better. Jeff likes to play fast and hard and he's a great sax player but it will never have the ability to put me into a trance like LeRoi did.

[BreakFree04]

@Dnt132 Yeeeah...Or, instead of making jackass overarching statements insulting those of us who UNDERSTAND music, you could just admit that while Roi will be missed and was a different person than Jeff, Jeff has done an absolutely amazing job as the replacement saxophonist. Jeff is just as talented a musician as Roi, but it turns out that he's not Roi. Roi couldn't do what Jeff does and vice-versa. Deal with it.

[Dnt132]

@BreakFree04 sounds good way to assume (been playing the guitar for 10 years) , I pretty much said what you said at the end of your jackass overarching statement. they are both great, i also posted this 7 months ago things i dunno, things change? you hold a neutral argument that no one can disagree to, so this isn't really an argument. Good Point! any other obvious statement you wish to throw out there like even thought butch and tim are different they are both great musicians.

[BreakFree04]

@MonsterTruckManiaTV Try listening. Jeff is just as talented as Roi. Is he Roi? No. But he's done a fantastic job and being a narrow-minded tool who thinks that only Roi can play sax for this band is absurd. Here's a tip: When Dave or Carter dies, DMb dies. That's it. I hate to say it, but the rest are replaceable....except maybe Boyd. Does that mean I hate Fonzy or Boyd? Hell no. I love them. It wouldn't be the same without them, but Carter and Dave ARE the band.

[jakebank]

Love the incorporation of Tim's electric guitar on this version.

[psx2514]

1. Are they using the electric guitar to fill in for the sax part?  2. Do they have a new official sax player yet?

[patton303]

My band is playing here on Aug 15th... : )  Can't wait.

[froggyfreak374]

Carter Beauford is so frickin beast!

[Kobeownzu81]

too many people trying to go big at once hahah. its cool though it still sounded decent

[chrishasic]

Lol @ carter and the beginning

[Dimeg14]

amazing song but the vibe of this set just seems off

[momoonthedownlow]

I MISS MR. BUTCH TAYLOR!!! !!!!! !!! and roi too, but we can't bring him back,,,,So lets bring back Butch and tone down Reynold's volume PLEASE! Love him playing, but it needs to be more in the background when he's not soloing...

[XxIMLDlxX]

The violin sound's terriuble..... way off beat

[brdn94]

@XxIMLDlxX I'm not sure if you know anything about music. So I'm going to refrain from being to rash. But he IS on beat.

[XxIMLDlxX]

@brdn94 ok i just listened to it again lol. He is on beat but i meant to say the violin sounds like crap. listen to it after the dude on the drums gets done and it goes back into the music lol. sooo bad.

[TheReaper415]

Tim just makes the instrumental breaks sound confusing, I don't particularly like it, good guitarist, but the song just isnt for him.

[GM154]

The sax just doesnt fit like it used to...

[MrCopperhead1861]

I miss the king! Its not the same!

[greendayfrk24]

i think tim is a great guitarist. but he should just stick to songs off of everyday, stand up, and big whiskey and the groo grux king. the ones WITH electric guitar. some other songs, like this one, tim should just leave alone.

[GM154]

I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dougsusername]

now that i think about it.. tim just doesn't fit into this song i don't like the electric.

[ianano]

:36 its bob sapp. haha

[Swattification]

carters always smiling

[dougsusername]

lol carter at the beginning.. never seen that guy without a smile on his face

[Mdansa024]

i have this cd its great

[kardzfn21]

My 2nd show/clip since Leroi passed away & like there show at Beacon Theatre, Jeff (new guy) has ALOT of talent & I think he's great, he's NOT Roi but, he's great - I will say this though I listen 2 this song & this song 4 some reason not the same as when Roi was playing & I think that's because Boyd & Roi fed off of each other so well but do I think DMB's gonna keep on rollin'? Oh yeah! I LOVE Big Whiskey & the Groo Grux King lil' different sound w/out Roi but there still my FAVORITE band!

[jrjorgensen2519]

Actually, people keep saying "clarinet" addition, but I'm fairly certain that is a soprano saxophone. Correct?

[brdn94]

You are correct. it is a soprano saxophone. I'm glad to know that instrumental music hasn't completely died out yet.

[jrjorgensen2519]

haha yes, I know. I was actually front row and center for the concert (i'm not just saying that to sound cool. I really was lol) and that was definitely a soprano sax

[goldenbananahannah]

@jrjorgensen2519 yeah it is :)

[goldenbananahannah]

@jrjorgensen2519 yeah it is :)

[ijmzr]

@jrjorgensen2519 It is most definitely a soprano saxophone.

[brdn94]

@ijmzr haha. I love how he posted that over a year ago and people are still replying. XD

[patton303]

@jrjorgensen2519

Yup that's still Jeff and yes it's a Soprano sax...

[Kobeownzu81]

@jrjorgensen2519 yea im pretty sure it is

[EquivocalUsername]

Why isn't anyone saying anything about Jeff's solo at the beginning?

it was phenomenal.

Granted, not the same as LeRoi, but an amazing solo.

[AcousticCover]

I agree, it sounded terrific. The clarinet was a great add on to the show, he really gave a great performance as well.

I have to say though, I'm not a big fan of the distorted acoustic. I'm a bigger fan of the original sound :P

[jogocown]

i wish someone would post satellite from mile high

[twostepman36]

how did this concert make it to a cd?! why not the one from hershey on 6.27? that was a 2 hour and 45 minute show! yeah dave had guitar problems twice it still was better than this show..

[movieman983]

all around this wasnt that great of a performance but dave was able to save it with the yell he did at the end

[blkdimnd]

I was at this show, too...we missed Leroi (ALWAYS will) but I am glad DMB is still rockin'

[hockey212319]

too bad they and john mayer wont be there this year..

[irboone]

I WAS AT THIS SHOW, AMAZING

[collinreddick]

lol i had enough time to eat a bowl of cereal during the violin solo :]

[collinreddick]

God I Love Carter

[mcbridephotography]

great stuff, Rest In Peace Leroi

[GM154]

Gosh...I do not like the guitar part in this that tim does...I just dont like it...

[roxfan11]

yeah me neither

RIP Leroi. Just won't be the same without you

[unacal76]

tim is a phenominal guitar player but i will agree sometimes i wonder what he's thinking

[GM154]

He could have done most of the same stuff on an acoustic guitar. But, idk, he's still good!

[osmosisazman]

It's just not the same without Leroi. RIP, brother.

[TEEDUB2440]

third verse is weak with the crowd, horrible, the crowd sounds like dont even wanna be there

[jogocown]

oh mr. critic are we

[TEEDUB2440]

third verse is weak here at Mile High....they gotta pick it up

[wwrjd1523]

ya i agree completely the third verse with the fan interaction and the energy that comes from that is what makes this song live

[DisturbedForce]

dude Carter is having a great time

thats so awesome

[slushieguys]

oh wait its tim reynolds....and it is a marshall

[slushieguys]

who is that guy with the sweet guitar tone i wonder if he's using a marshall?!?

[jogocown]

carter's amazing at the drums....

[remaori]

This was such a great show. COLORADO LOVES DMB!!!

[waureeenmoods]

[HippiePrince]

[itsadeepburn]

carter's smile makes me happy to be alive

[drummer1364]
