It IS live but he is indeed using some effects, not to alter pitch or tone, but for echo. And it's amazing sound for a TV show, props to sound engineers.
There are only 4 strings on that guitar. No wonder why I have such a hard time playing this song on my six string, I always trip over the two strings whereas he doesn't have to worry about them...
I (as a singer) say: It's live. You can tell by the articulation of the words. I'ts something that in lip sync gets a little diferent. And his guitar sounds different from the original record, and you can say that he misses one or two notes while he plays.
Now, let me say: Dave is AWSOME musician and composer. And this tune is brilliant!
Sorry I meant to say Dave is playing...never even looked at my pwn comment I type so fast sometimes and without thinking...I wish someone would have brpught that to my attention........My hubby looked at it and says that it is him doing it live not a recording........I was responding to someone who said it was a playback, and I was arguing that it was Dave live not a recording, next time that happens let me know...I love Dave too much to say that, got a hugh back tatt dedicated to him:)
Hey, Well first I have the firedancer image and a round her it says Dave Matthews Band......then around that image I have some of the lyrics to Crush...It says "It's crazy I'm thinking just knowing that the world is round, and here I am dancing on the ground, Am I rightside up or upside down, and is this real or Am I dreaming" I tried to upload a pic of my tatt but it comes it all blurry....
Whoever says it's playback doesn't know anything about music. If you take better look, you'll see that he has bass string in place of E, E in place of A, an so forth. It's equivalent of tuning all strings down for 5 half notes, but you can't get this kind of tone with down-tuning...
its completely legit. dave doesn't do the live lip singing shit. but it sounds like the album version cause he is a live performer. he needs a crowd to feed off of or it sounds flat like the album. i'm kinda surprised he did this show, its too commercial for him, and look at him, he's not having any fun there. amazing song, absolutely breath taking live. go see him live, you'll shit your pants with joy
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this sounds EXACTLY like the album version....and watch at the end of the "performance" the song keeps playing and he stops...Dave is the man but this is a recording i believe.
that was a real performance...pay attention...album version he says..."some devil stuck inside me, I cannot set it free..." this performance his says "some devil some angel...has got me to the bones"...Dave is just the man...on the album it was him and his guitar as on this show...I f*ckin love this song.
Just watch the little movements of his right hand and the quiet sounds and see that they are synchronized. you'd be a fool to think matthews would play to a recording.
Last friday i had the chance to see him live at Buenos Aires' PepsiMusic fest and must admit (though i'm completely straight).....now i know what you're talking about.
He is for real. Legendary song too
