Dave Matthews Band - #41 w/ Flecktones - 4/20/02 - Part 2/4

[jimmyjubejube]

for years i've been listening to the audio and oh man it is such a joy to see the video of this : )

[kalibuds94]

i literarly just came in my pants watching this

[drewper73]

Oh man, right around 2:52 Fleck & Wooten lock in for some killer triplets! In 1998 I got to see Bela join DMB at a show in Nashville, TN during their tour for "Before These Crowded Streets." It was quite awesome!

[themaschi]

vic´s shoes are totaly outstanding

[MrJeesetinfection]

@onehipdawg that guy isn't good enough to be popping that funky. Only Victor!

[eng074]

i guess that 1 hater to this video does not had enough capacity to learn how to quit being hater. how in the world he gave a dislike to such a beautiful thing like this.

[fishooke]

I'm not absolutely certain, but I may have gotten a hard on during the sax solo

[smarterthananyone]

How nice of DMB to show up for this incredible BF&FT concert.

[poshjarker]

perfect

[livedify]

THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT BEAUTIFUL BASS PLAYER,MINGUS WATCH OUT!

[wrussell87]

this clip reminds me of the past looking at the future when Jeff Coffin is playing. Eerie foreshadowing

[1993BigNasty]

WOW!!! I love both bands and they is play'n together

[1993BigNasty]

WOW!!! I love both bands

[blackfeiticeira]

Hipnotic

[TMarshall098]

victor wooten is a show off.

[Xerxes4242]

@TMarshall098 As he deserves to be

[pearljamfan44]

this was the day layne staley died

[EndeavorLeadGtr]

The harder Jeff Coffin rocks, the harder he ROCKS!

[magin9131]

dmb on 420 ahhh nice combo

[headbanger623]

coincidence?

[blackfeiticeira]

@magin9131 Hell yeah!!!

[loquitomen]

MAAN! There is no one in this vid that is not amazing

[roldanimal]

vic is doing the popping. if you watch, you'll see that when coffin starts, vic stops and dmb's bass player continues, then the screen moves and vic comes in with the popping. durr. haha

[onehipdawg]

**Like olnly Bela and Vic can...**

GEEZ US!! ?get it?

Coffin's solo was INTENSE!!

I didn't like DMB's bass player, with the obnoxious funk popping at the start of the solo though...

[ejlarsonstratford]

Uh, Victor's doing that...

[onehipdawg]

Not sure what your talking about, but @ 5:03 DMB's bass player starts the popping....

[ejlarsonstratford]

no, victor is the one who is popping while dmb's bass player is playing the regular bass line to the song.

[Xerxes4242]

@onehipdawg That's definitely Vic playing, mate

[CHEBAR06]

good driving song

great song in general

[shirleyy]

32 min and yes it was the longest they' ever jamed on any song

[JKDMartialArt]

My good friend was at this show and insisted I had to hear this #41. She gave me the discs that she got from Vernal's source (people still did it old school" using bubble mailers) trusting me to return them unharmed ;-). #41 is always going to be a favorite, especially with Sojourn Of Arjuna interpolated! Great show (IDI in the middle kind of sucked), completely awesome #41! I was fortunate enough to see it live in '00 with Bela / Flecktones and again in '09 with Jeff playing Arjuna. RIP 'Roi...

[rcktownonlockdown]

a DAVE SHOW ON 4/20 DONT GET MUCH BETTER THAN THAT

[AlfonsoLa7]

Whaaaaaaaaat a sax soloooooooooooooooooo!

[Walkman630]

only jeff coffin could head bang while playing sax

[ejlarsonstratford]

He's groovin'...

[9sectionwhip]

oh my da.....that makes me wish I still had my bari. Of course..I never played anything approaching this level but it's fun to dream:)

[jaeyupchung]

I this I just came ...jesus.. they are so good

[marleytosh914]

damn. Jeff just proved himself in my book, and to think I'm seein' DMB this summer. Hell yeah.

[uwrank11]

can't wait either!!!

[KillMeNow1990]

Anybody else find it strange to see Jeff tearing it up like that with Leroi standing in the shadows behind him, smiling? In light of Leroi's death, it's a powerful image. Maybe it's just me. Rest in peace, Leroi.

[ibangdrums47]

I definitely noticed that and then scrolled down to comment on that and this is the first comment i come upon. that is amazing! if there is anybody to play in the place of leroi, it is jeff, but nobody will ever take his place in the band and he will never ever be forgotten.

[phrozen17]

Who the fuck is Leroi

[uwrank11]

fuck you!!!!

[spooninspoon]

Yeah... that is something, like a proud teacher looking amongst his student awarding him the spotlight in one of dmbs greatest songs. I'm not gonna appolgize for sounding a little soap oprah-ish but you pointed it out, so Cheers! and R.I.P. Leroi. I don't think any dmb fan can say that #41 ISN"T a favorite, yet it will never be the same without Leroi

[lottolein]

word...

[BrookeAVA14]

Sax is killer!! Hope I do it justice. Performing it for a school thing with my all of my best friends

takes my breath away

[ykilstein]

This is my favorite version of my favorite song by my favorite band. Jeff and Rashawn tore this apart last tour (meaning they played it really well and took it to a high, energetic level). You're probably going to hear Sojourn of Arjuna a lot more bc everyone loves it. PS I miss Butch (and Leroi but that's obvious).

[swartd1]

Jeff brings a little more aggression to stage-right - ok a lot more aggression. Not saying better or worse. Just saying different; and I likey.

[nwiilover]

jeff is now daves official sax player

[ejlarsonstratford]

jeff is so happenin'!

[CPollnow7]

roi cracked a smile during jeff's solo :] :]

[celticsfan2012]

Futureman is on SYNTHAXE! Kind of secondary percussion like the guy in Umphrey's. and the Bela - Vic is awesome but Jeff on the Saxaphone, DAMN! Blows your mind.

[shadowsong1]

yep - Jeff just let's go. It's amazing - so much emotion and passion.

[shadowsong1]

it's not a battle really between Vic and Bela - more of a conversation between masters - done with halarious skill and taste.

[LefterisDelirium]

damn yea. shadowsong1 you did the greatest comment of all. conversation between masters

[maxmomo98]

futureman is on the drum right?

[zagaboot8o8]

sorta, hes playing his drumitar thing lol

[zagaboot8o8]

i love that battle that victor and Bela have between the banjo and the bass

[ikogotcha05]

amazing...all of them...

[kniehk]

epic performance. thanks for the vid!

[celticsfan2012]

Dave Matthews Band + Bela Fleck and the Flecktones? Doesn't get much better.

[bassmansteve]

I feel sorry for Dave Matthew's sax player behind Jeff

[zagaboot8o8]

hehe yeah it looks like hes just kinda sittin back there wondering why the hell jeff is rocking back and forth

[rrfbfan]

first rule of Jam sessions...don't invite people who are that much better than you.

[zagaboot8o8]

Jeff isn't that much better then Leroi if at all.

[lotusesprit5]

I like Leroi's playing, but he's half the player Jeff is. I've seen both of them live. Leroi feels the groove and has a smooth, lyrical style, and he's versatile, but Coffin is MUCH more technically proficient, he's a top-level studio musician. The level of tone control, speed, and melodic complexity are way beyond Leroi. Most faster stuff I hear Leroi play are actually gimmicks that sound more impressive than they really are. He would get lost if you threw him into the mix in a Flecktones song.

[zagaboot8o8]

I understand your perspective and agree with what you said about jeff's proficiency. The thing about jeff is that in most of the songs i heard him play sound all similar and he doesnt really change too much, as for leroi I like him because of the way he has no problem with having originality in every different song.

[JaredB23]

Totally agree zaga ! Jeff's solo was incredible and I loved every minute of it... Yet I have almost never heard the same solo from Leroi twice... I love the soul he brings to every song time and time again. Think we should just agree to say that they are both AMAZING musicians !

[zagaboot8o8]

R.I.P LeRoi

[JaredB23]

I just found out last night... so devasted...

R.I.P LeRoi... I listen to you play you're soul out every day...

[proppenator]

Jeff Coffin absolutely EXPLODES on that sax!

[Solis1112]

Giggidy? haha

But seriously, just amazing.

[sheddevils]

This clip is from a much longer 32+ minute rendition of this tune with Dave Matthews Band and Bela Fleck and the Flecktones in Ottawa April 2002. This is a good chunk of "Sojourn of Arjuna" the BF&FT tune that slides right into the middle of #41.

[JayBTV]

This is Part 2 of 4. Parts 1, 3, and 4 are also posted.

[lckeeper1]
