Dave Matthews Band - Funny the Way It Is - Madison Square Garden 4/14/09

Dave Matthews Band new single performed at MSG on 4/14/09 for the first time ever live. Recorded using a point and shoot camera at 640x480. My apologies for the shakey camera but had to hold it up over people to get the whole thing.

It's hard to judge especially since you're behind the speakers and you're not hearing the full sound. It sounds dull and bland but it's just the location/quality of the camera.

Also, you have to understand this is the FIRST time they played live ever. You're right, this is a poor representation of the song's quality live, but I'll just leave it that my camera wasn't designed for high definition audio or video.

[raukain]

errr, played this *song* live.

[raukain]

I was in Section 211 Row A Seat 3 just for the record.

i love the whole piece that starts with, "standing on a bridge."

[jmclmets]

Lyrics are amazing... this has got to be a top DMB song... IMO at least its amazing

[daledhed]

i dont know about an arm or leg.. but im not kidding when i say i would give a few fingers to have seen dmb live 30 or so times.

[dancinnanci]

I loved being at this concert. Maybe my 30th or so (I've lost count) but it was nice being at MSG again, especially for DMB's first 2009 concert=)

Eye dig!

[cubsrule444]

haha he messed up the lyrics at 0:40 but who cares dmb is awesome and so is this song

[lilcarterdmb]

agreed with cbarolet completely

[cbarolet]

Sorry, just my op[inion.

[cbarolet]

I could dig that. He plays with feeling. He connects to the crowd. You can feel 30 years his performances like tides of emotion ebbing and flowing when he jams. You can feel his pain fighting to rise up and be heard, and when it finally breaks free; whatch out daddy!, you've arrived at that euphoric place that only a guy who plays for his life can take you to.

Tim on the other hand, he's reduced himself to making background noises, that give the song very little in terms of composition.

should just ask warren haynes to quit gov't mule and join DMB fulltime.

dmb isn't known for their albums as much as their live playing ...they are the best live band i've ever seen/heard/watched/been to
