Dave Matthews Band - ASTB into Halloween (8.9.08 - Alpine)

[mungo6000]

I never get tired of the first 20 seconds of halloween. Everyone going balls crazy its great.

[mhigham1]

The set list was "?" after ASTB. Dave called it at 1:20, switches guitars at 1:50 and no one missed a beat, all on a song that hadn't been in regular rotation in over a decade! Those are artists ladies and gentlemen!

[CrikeyAlexNick]

they like fucking with the audience and trying to make you think you're getting a different song...i like that.

[teebs05]

Love Tim Reynolds but jesus he needs to sit out for at least half of the songs..

[colorfulldamage]

don't get me wrong, Tim is the man, but theres just something about that drum break during the weekend on the rocks version that when you fill it in with guitar it takes away from it a little bit

[DaveYo1972]

The entire show was freakin' nuts...satellite, spoon, so damn lucky, halloween; anyone who was there knows what I'm talking about!!!

[1111mAc1111]

"HALLOWEEN! YEAH!" hahahah that made me laugh but such a nasty way to open halloween

[Russianxprodigy]

We were so fuckin close to Halloween at Wrigley, we literally had the whole stadium chanting "Halloween" over and over again but instead we got watchtower, with Stairway to Heaven at the end of it, that was great but honestly what do we have to do to finally get Halloween?!?!

[jayt999]

@Russianxprodigy i hear ya i am at 51 shows and go 2 the gorge cross country every year if i dont hear that damn song i will die unhappy no lie

[bookum134]

favorite version of halloween ever played

[baddgerguy]

Alpine Valley is always a great show!

[antoBassplayer]

i love how someone always yells "HOLY CRAPPP NOOO WAAAAYYY" every time they start Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hornadayfan]

This was my first Halloween and I about dropped a load....

[jayt999]

how many shows do i have 2 go 2 2 hear halloween it kills me i havent heard it yet

[tmoore4075]

@jayt999 took me to #17 to get it and it wasn't on the setlist. Changed it up at the last second. Best concert experience of my life.

[jayt999]

@tmoore4075 im at 47 shows i am from boston and have gone 2 the gorge the past 6 years im devastated i just want 2 hear halloween

[tmoore4075]

@jayt999 I feel for you. That sucks at that many shows. And yet you've probably heard your least favorite song 30 times.

Now that I'm onto show #19 and Say Goodbye is the elusive one for me.

[pbandj12]

@jayt999

Took me 45 shows till I finally heard it in Camden.

[jayt999]

@pbandj12 did 2 shows in boston and went 2 madison square it sux because they were real good shows but i like leave dissapointed i hate it my gf says that its a good thing they are on a break so i will appreciate them again but im also sick of goin 2 shows and dave sayin his voice is sore whatever i still love dmb but I miss roi

[WEA04]

one year later = night 2 encore = <3

music/passion at its finest.

[fender0307]

gohhh, i wish i was there!!!!!!!

[JackMahogoff1129]

CARTER BEAUFORD ON THE DRUMS, CARTER BEAUFORD ON THE DRUMS, CARTER BEAUFORD ON THE DRUMS!!!!!!

[antoBassplayer]

CARTERS FACE 0:56..... PRICLESS

[JacobMestad]

Leroi was still in the hospital at that time. That was still an amazing night. Gotta love it.

[TheMrWrigley]

I was there.. my 20th birthday.. will never be forgotten.

(I was also the kid who hit the cop in the face with the beanbag.. no lie)

[AndromedaHogsmeade]

@TheMrWrigley dude I sure hope it wasn't on purpose, we all go up to Alpine to party, rock out, and have an awesome time......not to have it ruined by people fighting

[TheMrWrigley]

@AndromedaHogsmeade

No no.. Not on purpose at all. I tossed.. the cop rode into my bag.. he kinda fell a bit. I ran up quick and apologized and attempted to give him a beer.. he liked me attitude and sincerity.. didn't say shit.

<3 Wisconsin cops

Cya this weekend if youre there

[somekevin24]

this gives me goosebumps

[brianbrutality]

jeff coffin before leroi passed? i can dig it love this.

[fan1026]

Great seague

[SirBenjamin88]

I'm going to Alpine this year... I won't get my hopes up for a Halloween but it will be great regardless!

[jamesbuddy63]

@SirBenjamin88 He already has 2 straight years at Alpine! I hope to god he does it again.

[nautiestmonkey]

my favorite version of halloween. A bit bias, was sitting front of lawn, but saw in KC this year and it didn't come close to comparing musically.

[wilcodyw]

man i love when they fake every1 out.... they did that last year at gorge.. went into too much but jumped to ants.. good stuff :)

[cdog23z]

haha cool how they fakes everyone out with the intro to Too Much then jumped to Haloween

[bibox8]

frickin' shit that bass is good!!!!!!

[chubabubba013]

One of my first true davegasms..... Hopefully there'll be more to come or should i say cum...

[boazarad1]

fu%&ing shi#t this is amazing!!! dabe pls come to israel!!!

[skoaler29]

thats carter beauford on the drums ladies and gentleman.

[CCSLT07]

SPAC Got Watchtower and Halloween as an ending....dont beleive it gets any better than that...Love this like trax tho!!

[alexjones58]

dont forget 40 in the same encore. where you there too?

[CCSLT07]

yup....one of three concerts i saw....none of them topped sartoga

[alexjones58]

thata boy

[DWareMhouseB]

40 wasn't in this encore. I have this concert on cd

[tragic1Kingdom]

ugh. i always get so sad when they play 'halloween' just days after i see them. i WILL see this live before i die.

[allpraisetd1]

i say verbatim what you just said all the time haha

[Martofla]

God bless the groogrux king.. mother f$r.. they cant be such amazing band!. Im from argentina, that is not in india like some of u guys think, they came last year in the marco of the pepsi music 08, and in the middle of astb, they had a power outage and people began to sing, sarcastilcli COCA COLA COCA COLA.. until dave understood, he laugh and went down to meet the people... was a great night i will never forget!

[wynn49]

Ended Alpine 09 with Halloween it was unreal

[Darrinp44]

yessir he did. love this song.

[baddgerguy]

I was praying for that song the entire night.

[carloslee045]

i know i was there...holy shit it was so sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!­!!!

[ghkd05]

i nearly sh*t myself when they played halloween that night. Absolutly AMAZING!

[stearmandriver]

I come back to this video every few weeks ... when they tease Too Much and go into Halloween...the crowd reaction gives me goose bumps everytime... its an awesome song and they band knows it! It tears up Dave's voice something bad, so thats why he is careful about when he plays it. This years tour, he's played it last so he can trash his voice and not worry about ruining it for any songs to follow.

[DaCravenator]

I can't believe some DMB fans don't like this song! The emotion and the whole story is incredible and I feel bad for the girl whom this song is about.

[hitt4488]

Encore ended on Halloween in Cincy last night....Amazing!!!

[jtg920]

Same in Pittsburgh. Just wonderful...

[tylerhrabs]

i was at both! and they were both amazing!

[CCSLT07]

He played halloween at SPAC last night....it was so unexpected and so amazing...the crowd went crazy

[DeBeer313]

yea i was pissed to hear he did, i left as the encore started

[Dnt132]

hahahaha sucks to be you i'm sorry but that does suck why would you leave? please tell me it was unwillingly

[Dnt132]

it was a response to the beacon theater concert. the crowd wanted it so bad but the band hadn't pratice it yet so they couldn't play it. im sure thats why they introduced halloween this summer tour

[TheGreatDuke]

Whoever shot this footage, I love your enthusiasm about this song . . . I would have gone nuts like that, too!

[harrisc42]

2:08 is still the greatest moment of my life.

[SirBenjamin88]

this is the new Live Trax

[intolerence]

Honestly i love the way he seems to make up different lyrics every time he performs this, just a genius at work right there!

Love you Dave

[McFearsome2]

wow. the crowd really went librarian-poo when halloween started....

[quadbassblaster]

dude what camera are u using ? the audio is fab

[SigChi725]

Im pretty sure he took the live trax recording and synced it to the video.

[trojanhorse15]

this is about as epic as it gets...

[peterukk]

OMFG that transition after 2:00 is SICK

[dcskaterlpupunk]

2:15 Epic Dudebro-ness

I bet one of them has a sweet tribal.

[howardchief]

[spudchabaz]

[kidcooker]

rashawn is a brick wall

[bhuntley1220]

DAVE...i hope you understand this is why fans go to your concerts...for the unexpected...the passion...the excitement...and the musical genius that your.....im sorry ...brings to the stage... I think I express every fans opinion when I say...that...if you plat ASTB into HALOWEEN....we will F*@&#^$ back to another show..just in case you bring out some absurdity like that....can not wait to see you at FENWAY N2!!!!

"Halloween, yeah!! That's what i'm talking about buddy!"

[DMB518]

This show was incredible!! I was lucky enough to be there..

[JL2589]

I love how he decides to switch guitars for halloween at 1:46 then signals to the sound guy to raise his amps volume just before halloween kicks in at like 2:02

[TannerDMB41]

i almost shit my pants.

[BMarshall15]

[goheels33]

[vic4562]

[underthedreamingtree]

Carry on, bury all.... Halloween.

[deedisdone]

[nmartin1324]

[dmb2028]

[perlandsson1]

I get goosebumps every time watching this video. This is the most insane thing ever. I bet Dave was thinking... "Take this Alpine"

[ekugirl73186]

Lol Alpine got 'Dave-Rolled'!!!

[BMarshall15]

Tim made this shit sound pretty sick

[Amy1518]
