He is extremely under rated in my opinion.

@MrCharnie Johnny Cash does it better and I am also a huge fan of the Nick Cave version. I do love this version alot too though. Of course, Dave does very little wrong in my book and Tim is a fucking guitar God.

One of my favorite songs and I think Dave Matthews always does it justice when he plays it

absolutely fucking beautiful!

@ReallyImWorking you are freakin" retarded....Coming from a musician this is the best cover if not better then the original1

@griffcats I agree that this version is way overwrought. And as you point out, the over-the-top singing gets in the way of the song--in particular, the humor and surprise of being "in the arms of my best friends wife" and that fact that, most likely, this lost soul is only imagining she visits his grave. This is an ironic song--she didn't care enough to speak up and keep him from hanging--but the irony gets buried under DM's melodramatic delivery. Or at least that's how it seems to me.

Nicely done, the talent is obvious. But James King's bluegrass version brings tears to your eyes when he does this song, whereas as here, im more distracted by all the muscianship of voice and playing, so much so that I lose all the heart of it. The voice, however good it is, ruins the soul of the song here.

This is THE quintessential Long Black Veil ... I think. Still searching.

If he's not your favorite, but you sitll pay to see shows why do you dis him on his own videos? And if you think his voice and style are the worst part of the band why do you keep going to his shows? I don't know you but I know a good bit of Dave's stuff as well "witch" I really enjoy. I also attend shows when I can and find each one better than the last. Especially with the new album, I'm not sure how you can say all of the concerts are the same.

To be honest I can't stand his last 3 albums. His first few albums were the best by far. The main reason I liked him was his percussive style guitar playing and such.

@shockpencat
I did not dis him on this song in particular, I think it is great. To me this is an example of the pinnacle of his career, hence I posted this video for all to enjoy. Never said all his concerts are the same either. I like Dave but not all Dave so I guess I am not a "True Fan" whatever that means.
