Dave Matthews Band Sledgehammer 6.28.08 (audio)

[JoshHommeIsGod]

He didn't play this song in Tulsa, but he did play Prince's "Sexy Mutha Fucka"

[histerria]

this was the day after my birthday :(

RIP The Groogrux King

[grgemclr1992]

Wish I was there during that song to tell him stay off the atv for a while...Miss you Roi

[kuntreefan08]

really, dave sounding similar to peter gabriel is not much of a stretch...not saying that's bad! by the way dave sings, i think he's always clearly been inspired by the likes of gabriel...

[mattdmb2987]

This was Leroi's last show

[MrCopperhead1861]

@mattdmb2987 I gave a thumbs up but I really mean :(

[theophane4478]

He played it last year in Cuyahoga Falls, OH...OMG loved it!!!!

[kmaclax1]

@theophane4478 HELL YEAH!!! I was at that show and it rocked so hard!

[healimonster1]

they played this in Raleigh, NC too it was awsome

[savageg36c]

can't stop listening to this. So good

[cflavor14]

this was awesome at the gorge amphitheater this summer for labor day!!!! best show ever, best place to see a dave show!

[musiclover1223]

I was at that GORGE show you mention. This is 4 REAL--my friend & i were goin down to the track seats. As we were walkin we find a ticket on the ground. I took it to see where the seat was, during which time my friend said he had seen another ticket a few feet away & ran to get it. While he was gone i saw the seat was row 9 section B! When he returned with the other ticket, we noticed the seats were not only side-by-side, but were for the next night's show (Sat. night). LUCKY! It was Awesome!

[DOWDS77]

Thats is totally Awesome..how lucky was that!! WOW Wish i had that luck=)

[FO1YSN]

I love it! They need to do a version of "You Can Call Me Al" some time.

[zeferia]

I actually believe that they might have.

[mfalkens0363]

RIP Roi. I was at Bristow for this - what an experience! The crowd was one with the band. When I think of Leroi, I will think of Sledgehammer at Bristow. You are sorely missed.

[LadyPJ27]

Hooooly crap! Heard this at the Greek this past weekend and have NOT been able to shut up about it since!!!!! I had no idea I even liked this song this much! hahah. Wow! Highlight of the night for sure!! Massive sing along! Crowd went nuts!!!! Ah it was AMAZING!!!!! Thank you for posting this version! Been listening to over and over! Cant wait to hear the one from my show! This band does covers some serious justice...and then some!! Sledgehammer has NEVER SOUNDED BETTER!

[slgsoccer]

this was my favorite song at the woodlands pavilion concert

[dmrazb]

rip roi. you've been an idol for me my whole life. you'll always be greatly missed.

however, on a slightly happier note, does anybody else notice how dave practically drips liquid sex when he sings, "i've kicked the habit, shed my skin..."

wish i could've seen this live. they didn't start until a few shows after my two. bastards. i'd love a recording of this, though. anyone know where i can score one?

[dmbfan99]

i have noticed how dave drips liquid sex when he sings---can't seem to get enough--saw him 4 times this year---ready for another show---saw him do sledgehammer 3 out of 4--awesome!!!! hope it's on a cd soon!!!!

RIP ROI--we miss you

sarah

[13Pulgadas]

rip the audio from the video into an MP3 - the live versions are so hard to find in just an audio formant

[Jordanbrown01]

there is also this version on myspace available for download...type in sledgehammer as the artist and it will be one of the results. quite easy

[Buckeyenut1992]

blossom july 30 was so great! even better than last year.

RIP Leroi

[roflzkeifer]

Yes, I'm sure it was his last show I went to go see them on July 2nd and they had (his name escapes me) from bella fleck playing sax. He did a nice job but DMB will never be the same.

[Deli71129]

We got this and Thank you at Alpine!!!

[tylerwyler45]

we got this song in dallas (we will miss u leroi)

[Melyzza30]

this was 'Roi's last show, wasnt it?? :'(

[tmoore4075]

Yes it was his last show. And only time he played this song I believe. Miss you Roi! :(

[TannerDMB41]

theyve played this about every show after this.

[tmoore4075]

They have yes, but I said the only time "he" played this song, meaning Roi, which is correct.

[TannerDMB41]

Ohh! My bad!

[Handriagal]

This songs been stuck in my head since friday night in San Diego. They had a great set as usual. One day I'll actually get to see them play Crash live.

[amrsocal]

saw him play this last night and it's better than Peter Gabriels version!! i'm hooked!!

[pimptownbarfly]

So did I, it was amazing!!! DMB RULES!!

[uva1fn]

from LeRoi's last show....I was there that night...this was definitley the highlight...so so good... RIP LeRoi

[Jordanbrown01]

is there anyway to get an mp3 of this? if anyone knows let me know...please please please

[TuliTheUnruly]

I saw this in concert couple days before this. Amazing!  This is better than the first.

[Leesh5578]

yeah, thunderbob, i want to know how you get 2nd row too? i am in warehouse and i got pretty crappy tix for last night's show in Omaha. show was still amazing though...esp with getting to hear this one! ;)

[spxrider]

I really hope they play this in Columbus 7/26/08!!!

[spxrider]

oops.............7/29/08

[filmtress]

Dave's voice is naturally deep so when he does things like this (match Gabe's pitch) It make me relish in his talent and abilities. Go Dave. Your velvety voice sounds good even this high. You're awesome!

[ghsbaseball2242]

the show in atlanta was amazing as well

[jsjmelon]

great show

[Caliab]

Tampa show also! WOOOTTTT! This was amazzzingg! Had to hear a live version again.

[309productions]

Was At The Tampa Show As Well....One Of The Best "Most Fun" Songs Of The Night

[nypop8]

I went to the Tampa show last night and he played this. The crowd went CRAZY!!

[youneverno41]

what is the source info for this tape?

[bradfoerch]

I went to the 4th of July show in Charleston soley for Old Crow Medicine Show. I was indifferent about seeing DMB. I have to say, they blew my mind. When they did this cover I just about number 3'd myself. Great show, Great time. Hats off.

[pjdambra]

Seen DMB in Mansfield MA on 6/24.. They didn't do this classic Peter Gabriel song.. This is a perfect song for the band. I hope they put it in their songlists more often.. Great performance..

[aurchis13]

not that I dont want leroi to get better...but how awesome would it be to see jeff coffin playin with dmb!!

[gibsonlesmike]

I am a huge fan of Roi, but have to admit Coffin is a better musician

[LeeRoy3535]

I hope they play this Alpine... Get well soon Leroi!!!

[kgunning74]

I've been to 4 shows this year so far but this one was at home which made it even better! Sledgehammer fits Dave's voice so perfectly and with Tim Reynolds it can't get any better!!!!

[dmb1jw]

I was at Nissan...and it was a great show...This was a highlight..Thanks for posting...So damn lucky outro was great too!!

[ohioworststate]

Was an ok show..... not a huge fan of the setlist.....but only a dave show can be a 5 for dave but a 9 overall

[Rhspk07]

Good show! Smelled fresh all night....but I'm kinda bummed about the crowd. Was dull all night it seemed..just the mood of the setlist I guess :-P This was the highlight right here!

[maskedmarauder]

what a bad ass show!! looking forward to next year already!! see ya there!

[Pberry2761]

haha yea how much did that cost??? this concert was excelent, and i enjoyed it fomr the "smoking grass"

[hmozer]

Thunderbob how do you even get second row??

[Thunderbob]

This was great, I was there, second row. My friend got a drumstick from Carter, his second!!

[maskedmarauder]
