Dave Matthews Band: Run While We Can

[091791jm]

they need to come out with an album with all of these rare songs im finding right now...and make it their next album, and put black jack on it too

[PaperPlanesTGOD]

the quality is super bad..

[timsox6]

Same chord progression as The Idea of You.

[Orlandomcj]

@timsox6 It's actually not.

[dmbfreak19]

check out toy soldiers. best dmb song.

[Crush1998]

@dmbfreak19 thats a kickass song man. known that one for bout 3 years now.

[sexualexplosion1]

He played this at the concert i went to here in Indiana. Having never heard it before, i about cried.

[fruitcake551133]

ive been looking for this for months, where can i find an mp3 version???

[mistadobalina29]

@fruitcake551133 dontburnthepigDOTorg they've got all the gems my friend

[beebg27]

been following the band for years, and listen to all bootlegs but NEVER have I heard this song. thanks for posting !!

[TEEDUB2440]

@beebg27 Have you ever head BReak For It? from this past tour 2010 Summer tour? They played it @ over half the venues.....hard to believe you've never heard it.

[beebg27]

@TEEDUB2440 yeah well, it wouldn't be the first time i missed something sitting right under my nose.

[mYeAGz55]

@TEEDUB2440 dude they played it 7 times. don;t knock someone for not seeing this gem. this was a treat for this summer.

[jamie69247]

i like this guitar riff better than tims electric one

[greygrey40]

Where can I still download the audio for this?

[jlpeaceout]

A true fan of DMB is going to take something from all songs that they put out, even some of the kick ass cover songs can have a new meaning just cuz of DMB!

[Yougimpytube]

This is actually called "Break For It"

Sorry if we already knew that.

[axmetro619]

They are saying "move for it" rather than "who farted" at the end.

[dmblove41]

Bottom line is Every one of DMB'S songs/albums are absolutely amazing because they reach everyone in some way. Stand up was a very good and different album from the typical dmb sound but thats why they are the best cause they are fresh and unpredictable in everything they do!!! DMB is one of the best bands around if not the best cause they represent what music and the love of music REALLY is! PEACE LOVE DMB!!!!! =)

[RyGuyWolverine]

he played this on the 28th at the show in hartford. it was incredible

[MasterDrumma]

i also love stand up. i think once you've heard the music live and then go back to listening to the studio album it's just so much better. i LOVE stand up. not my fave album but i still absolutely love it!!

[BrettJul1020]

love it

[jbdmb]

who farted?

[buffalorapids]

im a dave-head and some how ive never heard this,...great just like all the others

[lordrunken]

yea same

[incyourbus1]

@buffalorapids true like shit same

[L1Lpudd1nTAT3R]

where can i get this audio??????

[okthatsnice]

@L1Lpudd1nTAT3R go to yahoo or stay on youtube and search for something like "youtube to mp3 free converter"

[sigurrosfanbabe]

hey arjunakrishna! how 'bout putting soujourn of arjuna by bela up? whadya say?

[sellis4536]

there is so much that is better left to shows, sound checks, pre-release studio teases and actual studio leaks. sometimes, there's no finding definitive lyrics. no full band, no fills and no production quality. what you always do find is this kind of thing that gets you -- the kind of thing that, one day, shows up on an album and you kind of think "i remember the first time i bumped into this and fell in love with it." always been that way, always will.

[L2thaface]

anyone know the date this was soundchecked? i always knew of the vegas 05 version. People are saying that leroi wasnt there for this , making me think its late 08 . Anyone confirm? ive always dug on this tune

[mistadobalina29]

vegas 07 night one

[chyea552]

no that version sounds different, esp the drums.

[jimithingjames]

These lyrics are GREAT!!! Looks like smoking crack and surfing YouTube is a new "thing" maybe.

DMB FOREVER!!!!!!

[teddycozmik]

whatever floats your boat or sinks your ship. this track is dope.

[crashjc86]

does anyone know where I can find the Tabs to this song???

[TheLurMan1]

I figured it out myself it's really not to hard...unfortunatley it's been a few months so I'd have to do it again :P but I do remember like the 12th fret around there with the fourth string. I'll have to figure it again!

[miko54321]

It starts on the D string 8th frett the to the B string 10th fret then the 6th fret of the B string then the G string 7th fret back to 6th fret B string then 7th fret G string 5th fret G string back to 8th fret D string. Thats riff 1. Riff 2 is really similar and im to lazy to type it out. Its prety easy to find out for yourself. Enjoy!

[dmbdreamgirl24]

fav song... i love it

[murphy3379]

Alright...I've been reading all of these comments...and I am trying my best not to look up where all of you haters live! This is a great song, I have listened to it about 7 times in a row...shut your mouth about "I am glad there not putting this on the new album" At least it is not another Mother Father

[unacal76]

i like this song i wish they'd do it for real

[blaznphish]

this was an IEM of a soundcheck.

[filmtress]

This is a sound check. That's why you hear them joking in the second half with the lyrics "Who farted?" They can be silly at times.

[myselfalso]

This song is actually called "Break For It" not "Run While We Can"

[stratinthehat0414]

anyone know he i could obtain o copy of this?

[jfloyd82]

vegas sounds better

[JohnDubsDMB]

This song is decent but I'm glad it won't be on the new album

[przekopm060]

arjunakrishna12, can i please have a copy of this audio file?

[RyanLeng09]

this is great, does anyone know where/how i can find just the audio of this to download?

[usc420]

Love the song cant wait to here the new album.cant wait to see them this summer

[GLR87]

this song is scrapped for sure... its pretty good tho break free quailty

[gmen1228]

i dunno...i read that dmb was scrapping everything, even their tested songs like cornbread and #27. i read that they have so much music that no one has heard before that they could make like 20 songs off of it. I hope cornbread and 27 will be on the new album. u guys hear anything?

[JohnDubsDMB]

Won't be on the new album. However, Their making a EP with all old songs. cornbread,shotgun,#27. cheers!

[deedisdone]

Who farted, iiiiiiiiiiiii did, who farted, iiiiiiiiiiiii did, who farted?

[shornseth]

this song reeks of sex

[bliedka]

i think this song will be on the new album in April, and will be titled "Run"

[groton27]

This is much better then the 07 Vegas Soundcheck.

[jimithingjames]

The sounds quality is better, but LeRoi was there at the Vegas soundcheck. That being said, there is no way in Heaven or Hell that this version can be thought of as "better" . . . even if the sound quality is clearer. R.I.P. Roi . . .

[youenjoymyself41]

Not true. I loved Roi just as much as any dave fan, if not more, but this sounds better than the vegas.

[mike11008]

If DMB Dave Maybe Boring NOW WHAT Yeaaaah!

[barnesy148927]

clearly jaymes doesn't know a damn thing about DMB. Ever hear of a little ditty called #34? Went about 10+ years without being played again. Also, the band has already said the new album is all new songs, so this has a damn good chance of being played again...i for one hope its on the new album

[mvc0529]

however said Break For It is the real title is actually 100 percent correct. Fonz has said Break For It was (is?) the working title for this song.

[jaymes85]

It is VERY unlikely this will EVER get played live. It was soundchecked once almost 2 years ago. This recording is from the Vegas 07 soundcheck. If it hasn't been played live in the past two tours it probably got dropped altogether.

[LightMast]

They spent a long time arranging it to just dump it forever.

[panictactics]

Am I still blocked, bro'?

[herburner]

I'm addicted to this song. I hope this is on the new album!

[jdt1321]

great new style.. never under estimate the great diversity of dave's music!!!

[LisaLisanme]

This week, fans were given the opportunity via YouTube to hear a fresh, and much more clear, version of 'Run While We Can'. The song has yet to make its way onto a setlist, but has been soundchecked multiple times.

[LisaLisanme]

The origin of the song has been debated, but Dave has confirmed through his Twitter account, that this specific recording is from an "old soundcheck."

[dmb712]

this song is awesome. i dont think its called run while we can tho. i think its called "Break For it"

[LisaLisanme]

No, the title is right

[dmb712]

nope ur wrong.

[youenjoymyself41]

has plenty of potential.

[vicboechat]

no dmb, no.. this is not the way

[gmoore4th]

almost sounds kind of 311-ish.

[dixoncassara]

balal habb

[eeixen]

where is this soundcheck from?

[acb21289]

Las Vegas

[tmoore4075]

It's from 5.29.06. This is not the Vegas Soundcheck.

[dmb2368]

i love dave and think tis song is sick but at the end when they're singing in the high pitch, it sounds like "ahhhhhhh ahhhh yeah, who farted?"

[dmbsproudestmonkey]

Dave says that this is from an "old soundcheck"

[LightMast]

It's carter, you can hear him talking during the song- this is a soundcheck.

[michaeljkrall]

obviously not the real drum track. Carter would never hold back like that

[LightMast]

Laos you can hear band members talking before the singing starts as well as in parts of the song through the intercom system in their IEM's.

[LightMast]

The is definitely an IEM recording (In Ear Monitor). I had a few of these back before the band banned them.

[mkmitch262]

According to Fonz's twit the other day, the working title on this is 'Break for it'

[JTR1414]

sounds like a leak from the studio

[pickmeuptaylor]

it's good. but there's still nothing like old dave. i like the mute on the trumpet a lot though

[taa0001]

wow. very nice.

[lamboman94]

just so everyone knows this song is actually called break for it, says stefan

[StrawberryFields1421]

this is good stuff. these new songs they've been teasing with sound very lively with a celtic expression, such as "the idea of you," "shotgun," and "break for it."

[xGirlPlay]

It sounds like a demo.

[DMBpride]

It's an IEM from soundcheck

[Petesheeah]

this is pretty cool, so with idea of you, shotgun, this song, hopefully the round and round little song, and maybe break free....the new album will kick stand ups ass

[dmbenjamin1415]

I think this is a very cool song, but needs some work...mainly on a jam at the end instead of saying "Don't run away...who farted???"

[Ezhuks]

You're sure this is what they sing ? :)

[zachyd]

its an IEM from a 2007 soundcheck.

Stefan confirmed the song is called "Break For It", and not "Run While We Can".

[shwam17]

They need to fit a horn part in there to really make sound like a DMB song

[StrawberryFields1421]

agree, definitely need some horns to spice it up!

[andrzejmichta]

Its IEM and would be great if someone upload and MP3 of it

[drewbarbes]

where is ther other version on youtube it is better if remember right. please help me ive been looking for it for months and cant belive i found it now while writing a term paper

[smithgv]

dave twittered that its a soundcheck from 07

[Seanyboy52692]

pretty cool, but does need some work.

where did you find this?

[Joboo917]

this song first surfaced when they soundchecked it at the Vegas show in 07.. that was the onLy other version besides this one..

[1saintod]

Sounds like something very promising. Needs a lot of work.

[rzepp409]

Most likely from the 2007 sessions and not the ones with Cavallo. Could also be an IEM. I wouldnt bank on this being on the next album. Thank God b.c i think it sucks lyrics and is very Stand Up and popish. Sorry to bust anyones bubble.

[Sodamlucky27]

definitely not an IEM it is too polished and Carter's drums arent loud like most IEM's

[tbredblo]

carter's drums are loud because this is an iem. it favors a certain channel always and it sounds like boyd and carter got it

[Sodamlucky27]

well i said cater's drums arent loud, also when i listened to it again i noticed all the background static

[JawsWideShut]

I respectfully disagee. This song is more like a Busted Stuff jam than a Stand Up tune. The lyrics are somewhat lame, but I think the melody is great. Either way, this is in no way as bad a Stand Up.

[13skinsfan69]

Stop hating on Stand Up. Stand Up is the reason I found this great band. I know the album pissed off the older fans but it bought new fans like me to really enjoy their music.

[Dagreenmanator]

@13skinsfan69 But Stand Up sucks.

[13skinsfan69]

@Dagreenmanator your opinion is all that matters. lol.

[jamie69247]

@Dagreenmanator

speak for yourself, i LOVE standup

[ShatteredWake654]

@13skinsfan69 - That's the exact thing I said about the album.

[garebear75]

@13skinsfan69 I like that album. And all the others. I'll listen to Dave as long as he makes music.

[jimithingjames]

@13skinsfan69 STAND UP has got some really . . . REALLY good tracks on it. It's also Leroi Moore's final turn (w/ DMB) in the studio.

It's definitely a stronger effort than was EVERYDAY or (ironically) GROU GRUX KING.

[myselfalso]

Is this a sound check?

[Sodamlucky27]

Where did you get this??

[Leesh5578]

oooh....getting so excited for the new album!!

[mikejackson30]

Thats like getting an early x-mas gift!!!!

[katiebrady12]

I feel like I should be complaining, to keep with the theme of hating anything new DMB comes out with amongst the elite.

I think it'll be great live. :)

[groton27]

your a bad fan Katie your suppose to hate this ;)

[jimithingjames]

Yah, Katie . . . you call yourself 'a fan'?

I GAVE . . . and then I gave again. You will remember.

[MightyMaus4140]

I like the guitar riff.

[cityondown36]

Where is this from?

[kastmaster11]

DAMNIT I'm in the library and I forgot headphones today! This is the BIGGEST COCK TEASE THERE IS! Please keep it on here!

[onesweetdmb]

settle down.

[kastmaster11]

And why would I do that...

sit on it!

[Geeksquad0808]

Interesting, thanks for posting this..

[BRANSCOMBEx]

This will be taken down soon

[jamband41]

where did you get this?

[Knoxvillain]

Thank you so much for this! I'm digging this! more than the soundcheck..
