@clawmoney Dave Matthews and his fans are the most diverse group of people you're ever going to see. If you want to see him live you have to pay close attention to when tickets go on sale because they sell out so fast, no matter what venue it is. Some of your closest butt buddies are Dave fans! But if you want to alienate yourself from the rest of the world go on and close your mind.....

Dave, sitting down, is the same height as Tim standing up. Little man, but epic guitar player

This is the best song he preformed in this show in my opinion, yet I cant seem to find that part on the internet anywhere... does anyone know where I can find this thing in full? Or the Bartender/dont drink the water part of this storytellers performance? I used to have that clip downloaded years ago and I watched it a lot on fungus, so it has a connection with me if you know what i mean... Id really like o see it again... thanks

Always thought this was about not drinking the bong water.. Whoops.

@zap272 ..and even a "little bit of history" ?????? Really? a Little bit (!!!??) of american history has a lot of poison in it????????????

[Syphonaptera]

@zap272 The song is awesome , the lyrics are even better but Dave's sarcasm should be more grave , not many understand it was a understatement meant as a wake up call. I am sure many Mathew's fans do not even comprehend the magnitude of what the song is about. My history teacher made us clearly understand what disgusting terror my country inflicted upon this world and this is how it MUST be for any country. Just don't drink the water until you know what is in it ! ,Cheers.

@Syphonaptera "a little bit of history has got a LOT of poison in it"

listen again

[Syphonaptera]

Divine music, awesome band and mathew has an angelic voice but...."our history has a LITTLE(???) poison it " ?????? What about genocide of the complete indigenous people and genocide of innocent people from countries that are destroyed  by the american warmongering imperialistic illegal invasions??? Ohw wait , americans call it delivering people freedom and democracy, sorry....wrong perception from me here...
