Sorry Dave, you are a great artist, but no one should ever cover this song. Imagine someone trying to cover Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' for instance.
Well executed but seriously, a whole tone too high for Dave's voice. He just barely manages the high notes and his timbre is thin as a result. Bring it down a whole tone and it would completely kick ass.
@pacree Dave blew his voice out on this tour ... that is what you are hearing ... standing stretching every nerve ..... you just have to trust imagination .... ;-)
this is awesome, i love dave matthews band, but for some reason i like the Bonnaroo one better with Dave and Friends, i guess cuz the drumming is pattern is different, but either way great song!!
At least he understands Gabriel's lyric, which is something I suppose. I have heard much worse versions than this.

does anyone know where I can find a version of this that doesn't sound like it's been recorded with a george foreman grill?

@TechnoFanGuy if all you want to hear is the original then leave covers alone, this is what a cover should be, a fresh look at a great song

Great that they can show respect for a damn good artist like that. Peter Gabiel, and Dave Mathews are awesome.
