Dave Matthews Band "#40"

[eclipsestudd26]

wrigley please

[TheHeroicDoses]

I was at this, and it was awesome. Granted 5.10.95 is still the definitive version, but to see a full band treatment (albeit a little sloppy) of it was great. 2:00 only hints at it's potential. Love the smirks on Carter and Stefan's faces. They know how rare it is, and how bugged out the fans that realize what's going on are.

[musiclover1223]

I have'nt heard them all obviously, but i think Listener Supported has the best version as well. It's shorter and it's pretty much a Dave solo with a couple of really cool contributions from Carter (drumms). Dave's voice in that version is so clean and crisp.

[harrisc42]

fucking brilliant

[bastifmbh]

best version ever is on listener supported in my opinion.. lyrics improved so damn well and carter's backups is so beautiful..but this version is very nice too..

[pdiddyx123]

ya dave doesnt even have lyrics for this song.. his lyrics are almost set improv... he doesnt have have any lyrics written down yet for this song... sick song though

[baseball111490]

unbelieveable. words cant describe

[AmyHWickham]

I believe that i love these lyrics the best!

[rschneider77]

classic song that Dave could sing any lyrics he wanted, and eveyone will ALWAYS go bannas. ALWAYS....

[beefcake44]

fuuuuck i was there last year and this year... can't believe I heard this twice. this is an awesome vid thanks for posting.

[rcs9782]

was there for this show . will be there again next week!!!

[InTheMistsOfTime]

On FUSE, Dave commented that there was a version of this song circulating, but that he didn't write any versions down of this song?...maybe he should listen to this version and write it down!

Have you noticed that we haven't heard American Baby, Dream girl, or the more original version of Idea of You (before the babysitter came on the scene) in almost two seasons?

[Arvfor3]

not true the idea of you was played quite regularly last year....and thank god dreamgirl and american baby are scrapped

[InTheMistsOfTime]

I stand corrected, yes "idea of you" is played quite regularly...not the version I had in mind when i typed this, --- the revision was played quite regularly last year.

[duff4yeah]

thats because the band didnt like two step almost broke up while making the album because they were so unhappy with it

[smlutz]

I think you mean "Stand Up" not "Two Step."

[DdUeKvEils108]

i wish Dave would make this song longer, i never want it to end.

[laurxbx09]

thats exactlyy what i think everytime i listen to it. i always have to listen to it like 3 times in a row

[mikeyfrom18]

I've been saying that for years!! But that's part of the reason why its so great.

[siddon44]

of course you need a ticket for each show...

[d12x2005]

So if I want to go to Spac this year and see both shows do i need a ticket for each night ? Can anyone help me out ?

[deech07]

yea you do but i promise it will be WELL worth it

[shiznitowner]

It's so good... the funny thing is the night before he forgot the lyrics. ha ... such a good version

[InTheMistsOfTime]

I was at that show too....Dave said on a recent FUSE interview, that he just made up the lyrics on the spot night 2....I guess he wasn't inspired to do so on night 1....guess he forgot what happened night 1...that inspired him for night 2! Yes, this is a great version! SeekUP!

[runnmd]

No matter how hard life is, its much easier with the one person this song makes you think of.

[Seanyboy52692]

this version always makes me so happy, reminds me of summer

[shylotta01]

Absolutely love it! Was there both nights, awesome!

[bassmeister11]

I agree, it's one of the most touching pieces of his music I've heard him do in a long time. What a terrific version of this song. Sometimes Dave gets it so right!

[PlaY4d0H]

i would have done anything to see this show. the setlist was amazing.

[DMB2741]

yea, good question, do you have any more vids from this show? cause these are amazing! thank you so much for sharing! like a true fan

[birderdj]

I taped the entire show, it will be on dvd eventually. Look for it in the future on ants.

[Mastas999]

you have the entire show i loved this show what is ants is it on dvd??

[shiznitowner]

hey man I was there both nights do you really think they will release it on dvd? it was like third last show leroi ever played

[shaka357]

Did this every get posted on ants, the show that is and if so can it be put on an IPOD

[drinkr247]

seriously warms my heart. hes more lost than anyone listening. got to love his drunk hippyness/legitness.

[Seanyboy52692]

Good memories of summer watching this video

[perlandsson1]

This might be the most touching piece of music I've ever listened too...It gets me every time.

[jamchamp]

~*~*~ looking for new friends f/single lets chat~*~*~ A

[Caesar0024]

Man, what an awesome song, and such a great version. So glad Dave did his homework for us and "brought this into school" that night.

[perlandsson1]

Holy shit I can't listen to this after Roi =(

[JeffreyOsb]

LeRoy, you will be missed... especially in the core of all the DMB songs... I can't imagine an album without you... I played the same woodwinds as you, I hope to see you later...

[brandonkeeley]

glad to see Tim back playing with the band - by far the BEST shows I have seen with DMB were with Tim. He adds so much...

Brandon Keeley

Covers & Originals - Not just another sensitive singer songwriter

[skiinfun]

I wish I could find the original of this. Could someone help with that?

[JaredB23]

There is no original. It's an amazing song that he rarely plays. He will often tease with just the intro chords, and then start playing another song. The lyrics also vary greatly. This is one of the longest versions of the song I have ever heard. Previous to this the longest I knew was from 'Listener Supported'. He also plays this on 'Live at Piedmont Park'. Beautiful song !!

[whatwouldusaydmb4]

the version i have on my itunes i think is from storytellers, but i can't find that cd or dvd anywhere

[DMB2741]

which storytellers? not the one with the full band, it must of been the one with timmy??? could you send me that version of it? I've never seen the whole storytellers before...if that's what it is...I've only seen a few of the clips on youtube. thanks

[whatwouldusaydmb4]

well it just says storytellers, i got off limewire and its definitely him and tim, but i've seen the Dave and Tim Storytellers, and they don't play #40 its 4:48 so maybe its from Yoshi's and just labeled wrong

[Seanyboy52692]

Yeah check out the 05.10.95 show (yoshi's). It's easily the best version of #40 and it clocks in at 4:41. It has perfect lyrics

[skiinfun]

So is it here on youtube? I looked but didn't spend much time at it. But that seems the time that I had a version of it. Let me know.Thanks for your help.

[vaxarado]

It's on here now. Search "DMB40" and it should be the first thing to pop up.

[DMB2741]

hey, where I can find the version your talking about? I love this song, I've never hear a version older than the Live in chicago CD..thanks.

[vaxarado]

Yoshi's is THE 40.

[SWEETWILLKINGSTON]

So right.

[moranj23]

Damn Right...Best #40 ever...awesome lyrics, just perfect

[Somuchtoplay]

Don't wanna seem stupid or anything, but; Yoshi's? I don't understand :P

[vaxarado]

Yoshi's is the closest thing to an actual version of this song. It times out at about 4:40 and in general the show is considered a classic and one of their best. It's actually one of the video responses for this song. Click the one on the left and you'll be able to hear the Yoshi's version.

[Somuchtoplay]

Alright, thanks :) But why is it called "Yoshi's" Is it the studio or something? :P

[vaxarado]

It was the location of the show. It was at a place called Yoshi's (at Jack London Square) in Oakland, CA. The date of the show was 5/10/95, if you want to look at it on any dmb fan club site.

[hpman247]

It's also in the Video Response section with lyrics. :)

[deedisdone]

It's a bar/club that they played a while ago. The version of #40 is hailed by many fans as the best ever!!

[johnnymac3124]

They are golf gloves, footjoys to be exact.

[stewartcj1]

thank you johnnymac

[aips04]

"all this trouble for a kiss from you, i'll do it!"

[stewartcj1]

i love that carter wears golf gloves

[alpine82607]

they're not golf gloves. they are gloves specifically for drumming

[runnmd]

This is awesome. I love the new lyrics, "years begin slow

recover slow

two kids have grown"

[dmbfanforlife]

lyrics = amazing

[dmbsnowboarder8]

This is so so so GOOD!!

[folkiecobb]

i don't know if i've ever hear this long of a version of #40 w/the band

[raidergolf44]

actually if u look closely the cameras are not on the monitors....

[nivek2002]

Amazing! Thanks for posting!

[iloverichcarr]

it's so poetic.

[rickypytis]

i don't get why this song is so loved...it's kind of boring. not bad...just a little boring.

[sh0cker13]

listen to the lyrics my man

[Kaokan26]

its such a rare song that when it gets played it is always a moment to be remembered. plus the lyrics are stellar

[prince5797]

[djdriebs]

That was a really good video and version of that song...somnetimes some of the simplest songs are the best!

[moranj23]

Unbelieveable show! Thanks for posting man!

[gibsonlesmike]

[Kaokan26]

[shiznitowner]

[atinyblackcat]

They teased it night one of SPAC...then Dave said they'd work on it and play it the next night...I never imagined they really would...best live version of #40 I've heard...and what an incredible show...one of the best I've seen in years.

[xchrisskatex]

[SteelersBus]
