  • he sounds like SRV

  • Comment removed

  • This is as bad as if I tried to do it.

  • Another Dave Matthews piece of crap.

  • I really enjoy all the comments that say, "He shouldn't do this one." YOU get up there and try! Of course its not going to be like Billy's because he's not. He just having fun with an old song, he liked, Having a modern artist cover a song is the highest form of flattery, it mean's Dave appreciates his music. Stop passing life or death judgments and just dance. lol 

  • I like Dave Matthews and all...but this version doesn't even come close to Billy Preston's version from the 70's...but then again no one touches Billy's version. But definitely a pretty good take on the song

  • agreed he should have never tried this song

  • what an awful singer. probably the only front man in the world who ruins his own band. they'd be so good without him.

  • I dont care about Dave's voice here, this cover is awesome!

  • I heard he lip syncs all his songs

  • 2:19 he loses his voice

  • hahahah he is not even close. This is ridiculous hahaha

  • dave matthews seems like one of those guys you'd wanna get to record reading a book. or do a voice over. I like the raspiness of his voice

  • Butch had a hard on during this!!!

  • ps. RIP Billy

  • dave is so good live, everyone hates him because he had/has a long stint w/ popularity. Just because he's put out some chill emotional acoustic songs that a lot of ppl think are whack doesn't mean these guys don't rip the roof off the place live, they fuckin average 3-4 hour concerts and thats more to say than a lot of live acts these days. Check out his rothbury set, im tellin you man these guys play their asses off non-stop endurance for 4 hours, live music gods.

  • Dude, I agree..check out Rhythms Edge version of this song see if u like it..

  • rpgfire- i checked it- its actually pretty good!

    where did you get the guitar tab from?

  • Okay i totally respect DMB, and they really do have some good songs. but they really should've left this one to Billy Preston.

  • uh... yeah

  • Yeah, I mean, I'm all for paying tribute to greatness, and Billy Preston was one of the most underappreciated artists of his genre, but come on, Dave Matthews Band? What's next? Wanna have Elton John cover a Charlie Daniels song?

  • you guys are absolute idiots, period. you guys clearly must not play music, im not saying you have to love dmb but you gotta respect them. there arent many bands out there as tight as these guys anymore. now go do something productive

  • They suck at doing soul music period.......

  • god damn...they need to stick with their own shitty music and not completely screw this masterpiece

    billy preston FTW

  • Man, you are brilliant. Very much like all the other 12 year olds that havent discovered Jam Bands yet, or whatever the next step up from this 'music' is.

  • get a fucking life dude

  • I'd rather tell you that you listen to garbage.

  • he is rich and gets laid all the time?

    well, at least hes got that going for him.

    be careful with the N word pal, our new president is going to lock you up.

  • the only thing good about this is the piano...

    dave is a tool

  • thank you!

  • U R A RETARD

  • agreed, this is the best cover of this song i have ever heard

  • Not bad at all.

    Kudos to the keyboardist... he did a good tribute to Billy Preston there!

  • Let me just say that the guy playing

    keys smokes. I think Billie would

    agree. Dave's voice wasn't top

    but jeez, give him a break. Do

    you know how many hours that organ

    of his has to put in a week?

    And he definitely was getting off

    himself and not just going through

    the motions of another playback.

    I give them a 9 out of 10.

  • I am not a Dave Matthews fan but this is pretty good. Kept it true.

  • It's actually a pretty good version I think. At least they didn't try to change it too much like most bands would!!

  • i will say this the billy madison way  YOU BLEW IT!!!!

  • Well also, dave at this gig had totally wrecked his throat, I still think it's awesome and yeah, it's good you posted this cos I didnt get it either!

  • this performance was amazing! i didn't have enough space on my camera to video it so i'm so glad i found it on here!! peace, love & dmb.
