holy fuck it's like his voice and his guitar playing are coming from two different people. ridiculous that he can play that riff and keep his voice solid.
clearly this guy who wrote the comment is stupid. Your talking bad about american baby which is a song that has been out forever!!! and it is a great dave matthews song. You are not clearly a dave matthews fan. Dave Matthews is not washed up. How about you go back to listening to your nickleback and creed cd's
@jfrye123 I disagree. When I hear DMB cd's they are very studio and sound very much like a sell out ( I certainly don't blame the band). Either way when this dude plays live, its shivers down my spine every time.
This song sucks. Dave Matthews is so washed up now. He hasn't written a decent song in years. He needs to let the music thing go because him and his band are past their time.
I've been to many many DMB shows but NEVER seen American Baby w/ Dave solo, acoustic style and of course he rocked it! Thanks a million for posting this awesome video!!!
I study Dave's guitar playing style VERY closely and the one OBVIOUS thing I noticed is how he plays the bridge riff. He added an octave melody instead of playing the riff he usually plays. Different but VERY cool!
for sure that line he plays as pre-chorus/alt. verse, the first time i heard it was like "well, not a huge fan of the tune but that line reminds me that he still can really own the guitar as a singer/songwriter/banderleader" ... the intro live is amazing
i love this song so much acoustic...im not so in love with the original electric version.

was a great night, tiny little venue, the bar ten steps behind, Dave ten steps in front. needless to say, we all got drunk

i dont think the 2:11 was a mistake, but i think at 2:13 - 2:14 he plays a chord out of place
nevertheless, amazing song

DMB's music quality perfect as always, but video quality sucks.
