Dave Matthews Band - Live 8 - American Baby (2005-07-02)

Dave Matthews Band
Live 8, Philadelphia

Live TV broadcast on BBCi, 2 July 2005

Setlist:
Don't Drink the Water
Dreamgirl
American Baby
Anyone Seen the Bridge---Too Much

Live8:
"Live 8 was, and remains a brilliant moment but what is more important is the brilliant movement of which it was a part. This gives the poorest of the poor real political muscle for the first time.

It is this movement of church people and trade unionists, soccer moms and student activists, that will carry the spirit of Live 8 on. It is this movement, not rock stars, that will make it untenable in the future to break promises to the most vulnerable people on this planet.

That was always why we put on the concerts."

~ Bono

Po prostu najlepszy zespół na ziemi !

[archbah]

Translation of what Judek said: Simply the best band on earth!

[kevinhaast]

@archbah You translate good Polish to English for a Danish person? Married to a Polish woman as well perhaps? ;)

[archbah]

@kevinhaast Hahaha, no... I use Google Translate :-D

This isn't even DMB's best song. And is the crowd even there?

[archbah]

for you it isn't the best song, IMO nut the either... for others it is the best - not a subject to discuss → must be ones own personal opinion.

As for the crowd you must remember that this wasn't a DMB concert, so we can't expect everyone to be in ecstasy over DMB - you and I would have, as for many others too, but at a concert like this, then there's always gonna be soooo many that isn't all that into a band like DMB.

I like the Fenway Park version best

@bbr89 there are microphones in the crowd thats how you usually hear the crowd on recordings. If you heard a phone camera recording of the same thing you'd hear the crowd.

@tc5150 Tim technically isn't part of the band. He's still listed as a "touring member" on their website. Although he's played on almost all of their studio albums and frequently does live, he probably just wasn't here for this show.

Where the hell is Tim

[dudebearpig05]

[TheDesertRonin]

GOD they opened with this when I saw them in Virginia Beach in 2005!! 5 times I've seen them from West to East Coast and they are the BEST!!!!

@bushveldbaby Hi. Interesting post. Don't want to be confrontational, because most of DMB fans are pretty civilized and I'd like to keep it that way. I'm just curious, why did you put the word terrorism in quotation marks?

[aaabbbcccfgh]
