Dave Matthews Band - Shake Me LIke A Monkey - Live Song Debut

[slgion]

saw them yesterday in charleston they did this and it was awesomeeeee

[gfv]

in my opinion, best dmb song

[BAconGR]

dave doesnt sound nearly as good as he did a few years back

[caseytbelding]

Lasty night they played this at saratoga and it sounded amazing! The list they played last night was awesome!!!

[condorlio07]

I was there!

[jordan7278]

Why dont dave matthews band go for the jazz/soul direction for all of his songs? This is one of his better songs because it incorporates brass instruments and it sounds amazing the first 2 minutes.

[jake3189]

had to give up my tickets last minute but i heard it was a sick show

[jgeurts]

Listen to this entire concert at dmbstream

[simplecreativity]

Yeah, being there made this INSANE, people. And hearing this song live pumps up the audience very well. It's a great time :) And being there for the debut was pretty awesome, especially also getting the Pig and Recently performances from earlier that night. -Such- a good night ,my only regret is missing night two!

Cheers.

[DejaVuSu]

the lyrics to this are so sweet..

great post.......nice images.....thanks!! :)

[vortexfach]

54 Segundos, Grande CHILE y el Maestro Carter Beauford¡¡¡¡

[dneb70]

rushed or not rushed there stuff is always different from the album when they play live. i thought it sounded great live!

[GM154]

Its a tad rushed

I really couldnt tell it was live till thirty seconds into it, lol

[2kikapoo]

@GM154 haha what are you a band director? who cares its great

[Indomavel10]

Today is the day!!! I'll see Dave Matthews ALIVE here in Portugal... Second time here!! :)

God Bless Leroi!

[Denisewoei]

I hate to say this, but I don't like it that much!

This song on the album is better.

[tennisIS4pussys]

well it's poor quality sound, I went to Alpine Valley and they played this. And OMG did it sound better than the album version

[beckyyyhunt]

i think that this song is great on and off the album.. i saw dmb in cincinnati june 16th and it was the third time they had played it live.. and it was actually really good. the crowd loved it. i knew the song going into the concert and i was so excited they played it. it has to much energy to it. its incredible. probably one of my favorite songs from the album.

[roxfan11]

but i know. its the first one they have ever done

[roxfan11]

not bad. but the album is much better

[spierce182]

rushed? more like pure live energy from the spirit of the groogrux king!

[paulyboy911]

same thing to you. this was only 4 beats per minute faster than the album version...so...no one needs to slow down

[ilovepayton12]

dave mathews band rocks this my favorite song of them

[andybeerboobs]

they need to work on this live. its average and doesn't pack the punch thats on the album.

[violiny]

I'm a big fan of DMB and hate saying anything remotly bad about them, but I agree. It's SO good on the album, this just doesnt do it as much justice

[guitariscool4896]

it's just the quality, they do a pretty damn good job of reproducing it, there's barley any flaws

[poocrackner]

trust me..if you were actually there you would feel differently

[condorlio07]

@andybeerboobs well remember that this isn't a studio quality recording.

[Maeths]

Concerning the rushing business: Yeah, it's a tad faster than it is on the record, but hey, the difference in length is 9 seconds and that's not a big deal, considering how adrenalined you are live. As long as the song isn't rushing as it goes on it's perfectly alright (and you can compare by playing the beginning of the song right after hearing the end).

[hanlon108]

Best song on the new album and I'm praying they open with it when I see them in july

[roykaa1]

i was there and it was fucking awesome, Dave sounded great and this got the crowd so pumped

[wildgrem]

This show was amazing...Saturday was killer...Watchtower then Halloween....unreal!

[brickeg]

You're an idiot!

[L2thaface]

wow they sure pulled that off. thought the horns would be tough to nail live, but they got it. Great job

[gasperfam]

I was there last night too, and no Carter did NOT rush this - it was amazing! I was so glad to hear this @ the show! Thank you so much for putting this up, I couldn't wait to hear it again

[pacoyal]

great first time from dmb. dave's voice sounds great. i can't wait to hear the next SMLAM

[jamie69247]

why is everyone bitchin bout carter speeding the song up, this song is a fast paced song for those who havent properly listened to it! sounds great to me

[esi422]

the horns sounded perfect...they were on and pulled the song through. it sounded a tad rushed from the very beginning, but who am i to tell carter he was too fast. i love dave; i think he's great, but i do have to say that i think he's the only member of the band that seems to be getting worse over time. his vocals are starting to really lack; a lot of flat notes, and i didn't start hearing those till a couple years ago. but this band is run by its instruments, not its voices, so...rock on dmb!

[paulyboy911]

the song was rushed? dude...this is only 9 seconds shorter than the album version. it's simple math..the song is approximately 120 beats per minute. 9 seconds would be 18 beats...the song is 4 minutes long so 18 beats divided by 4 minutes is 4 1/2 beats per minute. so...instead of playing the song at 120 beats per minute..they played it 124 beats per minute. that's barely detectable by ear. give me a break. songs are almost always a bit faster live

[metsman1131]

I was there last night. It was my first concert. but it was absolutely amazing!

so glad i went.

[dgthompson]

Awesome... could have jammed a bit to extend the pleasure!

[cpta752]

boss.

[jmp9525]

fucking a i went to the first 5 shows of the summer and I was dying to hear this....I knew I should have gone to spac

[jgil584]

when in doubt, ALWAYS go to SPAC. I've been to 4 shows there (2 separate summers, both shows each summer) and none of the shows disappoint. It's one of the band's favorite venues on the east coast, they always put on an amazing show, and it's a really cool place to see a show.

[LLeopardGGecko]

Carter rushed this one a bit. Sounds much better with a slower groove.

[paulyboy911]

song was barely rushed. it was 4 bpm different than the album.

[revsK]

you guys at SPAC are spoiled.

I am so jealous. Song sounds pretty good.

[michellehugsalot]

Hoping this one gets cleaned up a little in the next few plays. Sweet song though!

[smb723]

thank you 41 times for putting this up. i was waiting to hear the live version.

[ryman1230]

a dmb fan would thank someone exactly "41" times...haha.

[DMBMTL]

it was amazing

[emmax118]

this concert was amazing lastnight!
