all we need is dave's voice and guitar. period.. he sings from a whole different place this guy..he's music defineately comes from someplace elsewhere..really nice stuff!!
yeah, all his songs are darn good, but have you ever heard a song by him that was not on the radio when you heard it. But I also disagree with him beliefs.

3rd fav. DMB song EVER (Ants Marching & What would you say? 1 & 2) -GREAT version of it but there's 1 thing I don't get & it's STRICTLY b/c Dave & I disagree on political issues-1 min Farm Aid backing farmers next min backing Al Gore & tax farmers for cows & pigs burping & farting cuz of globalwarming? Anybody who wants to say oh its cuz your not a DMB fan answer 1 ? -Why did my sister say I'm obssessed w/ seeing DMB? Cuz I love DMB it's political stuff that Dave & I differ on - PERIOD!
your top three favorite DMB songs are extremely popular songs by them that almost everyone knows be a little different and listen to some of his other stuff its so much better anyway. and btw no one asked you on your political views and how they differed from Dave's.
ROYKAA1: there's nothing wrong with liking a bands most "common" or "popular" songs. They are common/popular for a good reason. Some people choose to make themselves prefer other songs just to be considered "different."
Wow, even though this song is inspired by the "tragic" death of a disgusting communist, I still love Dave's songs and couldn't care less about his political opinions.
I wouldn't be so sure... You know the "Honey, honey..." part in the beginning?
It was originally "Hani, Hani" from Chris Hani, I think he was the leader of the communist party in South Africa if I'm not mistaking, and a friend of Daves. But he changed it later because it didn't fit the mood of the song. Yeah, I don't know if the whole song is inspired by that, but at least that part I just told you about.
Yes, Dave uses a pick in this version. At 0:23 - 0:26 seconds he takes the pick from his guitar neck using his left hand and places it in his right strumming hand.
#36 started out as a jammy song in 1993. It was inspired as a result of the tragic assassination of a South African freedom fighter, Chris Hani, and was played for the first time three days after his death in 1993..... Dave noted on 10.9.94 that he changed the lyrics from "Hani, Hani" to "honey, honey," to fit more with the song's mood.
I was at farm aid last year and Dave rocked. After he performed people were saying its time to go home. Its like the other artists didnt even matter at that point. Gotta love Dave. I wish his fly was down for real id be right down on my knees ha ha ha
yea it does. the past one was in nyc last september. i think they might be trying to move it back out west though for next year ... don't know if that's just a rumor though.

Does anyone know if Dave is using a pic in this version? And for that matter, does he use a pic in any of his songs?

uses a pick on pretty much all songs unless its obvious otherwise, ie, strums with his thumb on 'oh'

He uses a pick on every song. He throws them in the crowd after the songs. I actually caught one last year when I was front row at Deer Creek
