  • This is so sick!!!!!

  • the best part is the scat singing. Too bad the record companies didn't like it. Too old I guess.

  • This is just an acoustic version. Dave plays this guitar riff during all his live performances, there just isn't a band to back him up here.

  • Who dislikes this song? I guess there are 18 douche bags thus far. By the way, it's sunny in Seattle?

  • I mean really. What's there to dislike about this song?

  • scope the guy at 3:30 who just comes up and kneels down and watches dave so closely lol

  • 3:20 If you play it backwards, words happen.

  • @HeyWakeUpPeople... Youtube Big Foot and UFO videos and critique them for their authenticity and THRICE.) Eat a lot and come to realize you had it all wrong, you were seeing things from eyes that were too clear, when in fact it's the eyes that are cloudy who see the world for what it really is....and don't throw God in the mix anymore if you can contain yourself...I myself support marijuana and I went to 13 years of Catholic School and attend mass regularly. Stick that in your bible and thump it

  • @HeyWakeUpPeople...I know this is rather late in the race, but I just read all of your idiotic comments. I'd love the opportunity to sit down and HASH this thing out if you know what I'm saying...which your close-minded self probably doesn't. See, what I was referring to was to sit down and smoke a bowl with you. Then place a computer in front of you and just wait. My guess is you would do 1 of 3 things. 1.) Apologize for all the moronic comments you made on this video B.) Google and/or

  • @philliesguy94 i wish i could go. im going to be away in July. Have you ever been to one of his solo shows?

  • my bad, its not boyd doing a solo thing, its carter

  • ok, I am 15, i've been a fan since i was like 13, and every month, i discover something by Dave or DMB, that is well worthed favoriting. I would totally kill to see Dave solo or Dave & Tim. OR THE BAND! I wonder when there touring next?

    This definetly inspires me for my shows in Coffee houses hahahaha

  • @MaxDavisMusic Hey! I'm 16 and a huge fan too... this summer they are not officially touring in order to spend time with their families, but since its their 20th anniversary since forming, they have decided to perform in 4 cities as the headline act for the DMB Caravan. They are 3 day festivals consisting of over 30 bands, including a Dave and Tim Reynolds acoustic set, performances by Boyd Tinsley and Stefan Lessard as part of their own act, along with the full band performing ...

  • @MaxDavisMusic .... (continued) a full set each of the 3 nights. They have only announced the first stop on the Caravan, and it is in Atlantic City, NJ from June 24 - 26. The second stop's dates have been announced, but no location has. Those dates are July 8 - 10. The other two are going to happen in August and September. Just check back to the bands website for more info on where they are.. hope that helps! and im going to the Atlantic City one... cant wait!!

  • god damn i j'd in m p at 3:00

  • I am just beginning to discover the wonder that is one Mr Dave Matthews and I likeeee :-)

  • That handshake at the end is so smooth...............oh yeah, and Dave KILLS it as usual!!!

  • great version

  • Comment removed

  • Sensibilidad y talento!!! Le sobra al flaco este!!!

  • Last time I heard this rendition of Ants was college and YOUTUBE didn't exist!!! There were definitely a few drunken nights trying to imitate this

  • thats weird he's playing a Martin not a taylor

  • I bear no disrespect for Dave Mathews: I have nothing but the utmost respect for the man, but I feel that it is rather sort of a dick move name a band after oneself

  • @in0nimus he didn't. LeRoi Moore accidentally caused it to happen. Scheduling a gig, long ago, they asked him what to put on the sign. His response was something along the lines of, "I don't care, put Dave Matthews Band or somethin"

  • @in0nimus Dave actually regrets naming the band "Dave Matthews Band". When Dave approached Carter and LeRoi, they didn't have a name. They decided they would just name themselves "Dave Matthews Band" until they found a better name for the band. They began to get attention and eventually became pretty famous before they came up with an actual name, so the name eventually just stuck with them.

  • @in0nimus Just to let you know he didn't really name the band. A flyer was printed with the name DMBand and they just went with it.. He wasn't thrilled either.

  • @in0nimus get educated.

  • Lights down they up & die...

  • For those wondering, this appears to be 9/29/2002

  • vote valosvixen's comment out of the highest rated!

  • love when dave brings the funk :]

  • This version is awesome they should or better have it on iTunes

  • DAVE IS THE MAN!

  • Fuck Yes!!! The amount of energy put out by this one man on a guitar is pure magic...truely a gift.

  • Fuck Yes!!!

  • I love how Dave just leaves haaha

  • I love this vid... (he kinda sounds like a drunk keller williams there for a min) :^)

  • Why arn't the people in the background NOT LOOKING AT DAVE!!

  • @whatsinthebox5676

    Actually, they aren't looking at him. Damn double negatives, huh? :D

  • @FetusElitusInc Damn i didn't even realize i said that! ahh! But seriously when DAVE is in front of you you don't look away! unless the rest of the band is there. you can look at them too.

  • Dave Matthews is my hero. Fuckin epic!

  • The world would be a terrible place without Dave noise

  • this is so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @rubenssz It's true. More people die of alchohol poisoning then they do of whatever weed-related death.

  • He reminds me of Joan Armatrading. Very nice.

  • Thank You, HeyWakeUpPeople, I just broke my bong because I was so pissed at myself for not being oneness with god.

  • Growing and smoking flowers hurts no one intrinsically. The American government has militarized the scene with its failed war on drugs. Legalize, guarantee quality, tax, provide health care, like a progressive country (Australia, Netherlands, ...). Remove the money and guns, instead treat addiction as the huge health issue it has become.

  • 12 deaf people have watched this video.

  • I love this song, a great rendition of it. Oh and who cares if he wants to do drugs. It's his choice and as long as it doesn't harm me, he's free to do what he wants with his body. If you want to be free, you have to allow others to be free even if you don't agree with their choices.

  • Absolutely love Dave and Ants Marching, but this isn't funky style, it's just his acoustic version. Nonetheless amazing song!

  • @louthenej he slowed it down a bit... even says 'gonna play it funky'. but i agree, amazing song!

  • 3:10 howzitgoinhowzitgoin

  • whats the song about? i dnt understand

  • @MrMusicMan14 It is about how everyday is kind of the same. That we are like ants marching.

  • all i have to say to drug talk and people dissing dave. I think hes doing pretty damn good for himself. Hows your life going? are you the lead of the number one touring band in america? no? oh... he is. go fuck yourselves.

  • i dont know i just dont understand how he is so dog gone talented..doesnt make sense to me

  • God Dave Matthews is awesome...

    Him and the entire band is full of talent...

    Love this song, and love the band.

  • my god... 12 justin bieber fans were here...

  • @eljhm Thats really getting old...

  • HeyWakeUpPeople, im sorry dude, this world isnt going to change just for you. you want truth? heres a truth, drugs are in this world and they are here to stay. like em or not, your not going to get rid of them. dont discriminate someone just because they like weed. dave smokes weed. he makes great fucking music. he works very hard to make great music. and your trying to tell me he's a loser? i think maybe he might be more successful than you, so he is less than a loser than you are dick Fuck U!

  • @ HeyWakeUpPeople My choice is what I choose to do, and if I'm causing no harm it shouldn't bother you. You're choice is who you choose to be, and if you're causing no harm than you're alright with me.

  • @Jeffro6565 are u gonna burnone down dude?

  • @Jeffro6565 great lyrics from the great Ben Harper

  • @Jeffro6565

    i know that song, cant remeber the name tho?

  • @Jeffro6565 is this a song?

  • @LexiK124 yes, Ants Marching

  • @Jeffro6565 I get it, Jack Johnson.

  • @Jeffro6565 I actually retract my comment, It's Ben Harper Burn One Down

  • @Jeffro6565 finaly somebody that is actually kool and knows wats up

  • dave is a god both on and off the stage holy shit hes so good

  • funny how people are stating as facts what dave does in his free time...like any of y'all hang with him. (and don't say your cousin knew somebody who smoked with dave onetime)

  • its funny because dave doesent even smoke weed? he likes the occaisonal drink once in a while anyways..

  • HeyWakeUpPeople - what is your diagnosis?

  • sweet!

  • Weed is fuckin good for you man. Smoke that shit up

    Fact - If you substitute fags for weed you will add 8-14 years onto your life.

    If they sell fags n alcohol then why not weed ??

    Oh by the way Dave is fuckin amazin

  • dave doesnt smoke weed anymore... hes too old. even he knows it. hes an old fart when it comes to smoking. doesnt mean hes less of a musician or less of the man then he was before. DMB is the greatest band around. plus he tweeted or did something saying he quit when LeRoi died. still the man. carters a tank. stefans a boss. boyds a thug. and tim is unreal. cant forget rashawn and jeff who are as well, studs. love em.

  • Dave Matthews i love you. more than anything

  • @9999ilovemusic more than ur parents? :D

    

  • FUCK THE 12 PEOPLE WHO DISLIKE!!

  • @valosvixen

    WHY DONT YOU GO IN THE MOUNTAINS...DONT BOTHER ANYBODY>?

  • @valosvixen Im cool

  • Comment removed

  • @valosvixen YES!

  • @valosvixen sorry, shouldn't have voiced my opinion. i'll think of you next time YouTube king

  • You just know that security guy wants to bust into a break dance right there...

  • sucks...

  • that is my boy right there...if i could play like that i would love it...anyway you look at it, dave matthews is a god of music

  • a lot of good athletes smoke weed too... michael phelps....percy harbin...tim linsicum or however u spell it haha

  • It's amazing how one man with a guitar can attract so much attention. Dave is a god!

  • Anybody that likes to drink alcohol on the occasion, yet looks down on those who like to smoke a joint on the occasion is a hypocrite.

    Anybody that thinks marijuana shouldn't be legal is either misinformed/uneducated on the subject, or just plain stupid.

    HeyWakeUpPeople, I think you're just really stupid.

  • How is this a "funky" version.... it's the same as he ALWAYS plays it. Am I missing something?

  • @sethhendrix funky because of the way he is playing guitar. The ghost notes are characteristic of funk

  • @Andydrummer2004 but hes playing it like the same way as always lol

  • paradisecity089: I Agree, two thumbs brother

  • To all you muppets who have had your 1c worth - I dare you to pick up your guitars and do better ! I think this guy is not bad at all

  • Where did cannabis come into the video? I think Dave is the only person who truly knows if Dave tokes. Who cares?! I want to know where this was in Seattle!! As far as HeyWakeUpPeople, dude, come on. If thou disagrees with what thy neighbor is toking, toke it not and live the non-toking life you wish to live.

  • Hey, 50+ successful biz woman making 6 figs a year here..and love the herb. It's a choice, not a character flaw. And it hasn't hampered my progress a bit. Nor Daves's it would appear. Salude!

    Dave rocks. Especially in this vid.

  • our country was written on hemp paper lol, its safe to say our country was founded around marijuana. lot of the radicals used marijuana, and paper rope fibers were made from hemp.

  • this heywakeup people dude is a total hater. just chill bro. weed is for artists and musicians and whoever else wants to join in on the fun. u do ur thing and we'll do ours. weed isnt hurting anybody. so stop trying to hurt us fellow potheads.

  • @HeyWakeUpPeople

    you also just went on a 40 or so comment rant about why pot is bad and why jesus hates stoners, changing your story every 3rd comment and swearing every 3rd word

    ON A DAVE 'F'ING MATHEWS VIDEO

  • @HeyWakeUpPeople

    if you hate Dave Mathews and weed so much why are you commenting on this video, much less watching it?

    p.s. the bible says nothing bad about weed anywhere, and both Thomas Jefferson and GEORGE WASHINGTON grew maraijuana on their plantations

    BITCH

  • this man was blessed with a one-of-a-kind voice. this voice was so epic, i hated it the first time i heard it. by the 8th time, i was convinced it was the most unique voice i've heard in a lonnnnnng time.

  • LOL U MAD? you got trolled mighty hard

  • i wonder if dave ever watches these videos? hahaha i would if i were him

  • come on guys stop fussing and listen the good music man

  • Well I believe God is good, Dave Matthews is awesome, and weed is what I smoke to put up with the stupid around me. If it wasn't for weed, Dave, and God, I would have hurt a lot of ppl a long time ago hahaha. I really don't see how so many bad comments can come from his music!!  It's happy music.

  • I mean Feud did a lot of cocaine, and people still take some of his theories seriously. Dave is awesome and make amazing music, the use of drugs come down to either one is using it for destructive purposes or constructive purposes. they should never be the center of focus, but they will add something to whatever you're doing by letting you take a different perspective.

  • simply awesome

  • Is Dave the coolest guy alive? Yes...yes, he is....

  • Marvelous! Another South African born child gone abroad.

  • insane!!

  • 3/5 of the top Forbes billionaires openly admit to smoking marijuana....so if you think pot smokers are just lazy losers, your a fucking idiot!!!!

    SmKGraSS EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!(do i need to even mention the alcohol death rate compared to marijuana???? no didn't think so....DMB is the shit!!!!!!

  • wow...great vid..i love it. thanks so much for posting...i love the scatting.

  • funky :D

  • Actually, Dave hasn't smoked weed in years (he joked on VH1 that the only brain cells left werwe the ones that wrote music, and he needed those :). And if you've been to his concerts over the last ten years or so, you'd see that he's normally a wacky person (sober or high). On their summer tour the band brings their family (kids, wives and all) on the road...so I doubt they'd be getting loaded in front of their kids.

  • dave is a freaking god

  • Weed is illegal thanks to the oil tycoons and pulp an paper industries . for those that didn't know the very first Ford that was made was to be run on alcohol not gasoline. guess what makes a shit ton of alcohol ? Hemp 1 Acre of Trees vs 1 Acre of Hemp guess which one will make more paper ? think of all the billions and billions of dollars those industries would lose if weed/hemp was a legal product ? oh yeah an im just a dumb pothead along with millions of others around the world :)

  • HeyWakeUpPeople You just made me post a comment that wont be related to this video . You are by far the biggest F'in retard to post on Youtube . you think weed is bad ? can we say brainwashed by your American Government ? here a few FACTS about Marijuana. #1 YOU CANT OD on it . #2 its not addictive #3 IT DOES NOT KILL BRAIN CELLS MORON. Its a proven fact that it is less harmful then alcohol. Do you have any idea why its illegal ?

  • i love this version, much better than the studio one :)

  • sounds like he's speaking in tongues @ 3:05-3:33!

  • Dave Matthews is truly a musical genius. Who cares what you guys are arguing about. This is the best Dave matthews solo on Ants marching I have ever heard. And know I am not on drugs ( okay maybe a little fat tire), but this is about true timeless talent. I'm 33 and remember this song early in high school. Dave, I'm truly thankful for your work!!
