Dave Matthews Band - Grey Street (Extended) - 5/9/01

Dave Matthews Band performs Grey Street w/ a 3rd verse on 5/9/01. The 3rd verse was cut from the song during the Busted Stuff recording sessions. The song hasn't been played w/ a 3rd verse since 2001.

Dave joked on twitter (1/25/09) in reply to a question about the 3rd verse that it was left at the airport. Perhaps that's a good sign that it may return someday....

Lyrics from dmbalmanac:

5/9/2001 alternate lyrics

Oh, look at how she listens
she [?] word not what she thinks
she goes stumbling through her memories
staring wide-eyed to Grey Street
she thinks, hey
how did I come to this
I've dreamt myself a million miles around the world
but I can't climb out of this place

As if a fog in her heart falls
and every day feels cold as night
when all the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart

Lord, it's [???]
the bright red bicycle man she love
she used to ride around the block and all
to the sound of the father's calling [?]
she thinks, hey
where did all the joy run into me
oh, I walked a million miles to get to there
but I can't take the first step and see

As if the fog in her heart falls
and she feels the day like night
as if a blind man steps on over
hustled every time she sees the light
oh, but allthe colors mix together
to grey
and break her up

And the voices from outside her door
says, take what you can from your dreams
make them as real as anything
it'll take the work out of the courage
she says, please
there's a man that's creeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
oh, and the end of the world

As if the fog in her heart falls
leave the blind daylight [?]
as every day rolls [???]
only makes her feel [?]
oh man, she wonders, when worry
won't take her, say light
but all the colors mix together
to grey
and it wake her up
to wake her up
to break her heart

And then the fog in her heart fall
and the feel this day for night
and though it's red blood bleeds now from her
it felt like cold blue ice in her heart
and though it's lonely down in the love way
walk oh and [?] when she [?]
no mercy, [???]
[???], yeah, say light
when all the colors mix together
to grey
on Grey Street
on Grey Street
to grey, yeah

thanks for this, and your other video of the old grey street. i've been trying to find it for months now, and this is great quality too.

[TheMarioBros]

How come on a lot of these early Grey Street recordings Boyd is so prominent but LeRoi is pretty hard to hear?

Not that it's a huge problem or anything. The old GSs are still some of DMB's best work.

[TheFireTemple]

If you will observe the slight haze over the crowd.

[jedi725]

this is the theme that jason bishop uses for the intro to his performances

[Davec775]

@bizzyDMB80 pretty sure they were playing on letterman or leno and they didn't have enough time slotted to play the whole song, so they cut a verse out and I guess they liked it better without the third verse

[MrCopperhead1861]

I miss LM :(
