First, imagine playing this song properly as Dave does. Difficult. Next, imagine writing this song and creating the guitar pieces from scratch. Amazing. Finally put it all together--this is why he's Dave Matthews, and the rest of us aren't.
Got this song 7-29-2009 blossom music center. It was my girls and I's song, before she broke my heart, it was the only time in 2009 it was played and we got it together we are from buffalo so I found it truly amazing to get that perfect song with the girl i loved so much. This song is a tainted, but extremly powerful song to me.
*not that any of you would care but its 2 am and I'm drunk again, and i decided to share that drunken tail with you , Dave would be proud
this was during the time where daves voice was the best...well more like better known. cause this is when under the table and dreaming came out. and shuttup swartd1, that guitars fucking gourgeous.
agreed. but the same goes for shows today, but you can never control that. But when an amazing guy stands in front of a few people to share his path and amazing story, pay your closest attention you can!
I agree. I'm not gay so I really shouldn't say anything that will make people think of me in that false light, but he did gain a lot of weight. He became American at the waist but still maintained his African life, something he says in another youtube video actually but makes complete sense just by looking and listening to him with 2 dimensional eyes.
that's really interesting to think like that. like when you get nervous before doing something on tv. But dave was playing for like 20 people but now was actually playing for 35,000 but even though he's wearing shorts and a t he's still a cool guy.. haha
the chet atkins sst doesnt have a sound hole and has stars on the fret board. check out DMB at woodstock hes using the Chet Atkins SST during that set
haha, I have this bootleg cd of him at the dke house in charlotesville 1992 (it's awesome) he plays spotlight at the end and before it he says that when he plays that song he feels like he's gonna throw up or something. It's funny I've never heard spotlight but heard hecklers calling it out all the time on cd's and such.
"sometimes the troubled eyes sometimes seem so hard to get by make the best of whats around ...(something something) all you can do is make the best of whats around"
aw I love baby Dave :')
