Dave Matthews Band - Ants (fake)/Halloween/Ants - 6.26.11 / Atlantic City

This is a clip of Ants (fake)/Halloween/Ants from the final night of the DMB Caravan in Atlantic City.
Note: Most of my Caravan videos are clips in an attempt to conserve battery life which was somewhat low at the start of the show.

@kissmusiclover that would be Halloween...as noted in the title of the clip. One of the most rare and epic Dave songs of all time...never heard a true fan whine about this. as you can see when the beat drops around 1:00, the crowd goes wild.

@kissmusiclover also, people people was stopped playing obviously because of cowriter/pianist Peter Griesar leaving. his accompaniment was the main part of the song. and dave said he hates spotlight in an interview lol

@Droz0317 I agree that it is certainly an incredibly entertaining song to hear live due to how intense it is. But I certainly think fans wouldn't appreciate it if it was as common as say Crash Into Me.

[Droz0317]

@Obeckisan That's absolutely not the entire truth. Sure, it's rarely played, with the exception being lately, but the reason its so sought after for live shows is the shear intensity with which the band plays it. On Crowded streets its just a mid tempo, spooky kind of song. But live, well LIVE the song is intense, high tempo and incredibly energizing. Plus the emotion Dave sings the song with is literally unmatched by any other song in their repertoire.

[Obeckisan]

Sometimes I feel like people are only obsessed with Halloween only because it's barely ever played. Don't get me wrong, it's incredible, just like all of Dave's music (with the exception of the Everyday album). However, I think that people only like it SO much due the fact that its so rare. The song itself has become more of a trophy to have "heard it live" than to have actually appreciated it as a song.

i was at this show, thanks for posting! the encore was supposed to be Rapunzel but was replaced after much discussion onstage due to the ENTIRE crowd chanting HAL-O-WEEN, HAL-O-WEEN, HAL-O-WEEN...

i have seen alot but never witnessed anything quite like that before (the crowd)

been a huge fan of this song ever since 1995 when i got the album "Recently" which features the epic Watchtower>Halloween.

cheers and happy Halloween

[KyleActor]

his voice goes so fucking deep in this.......whhhoooooaaaaaa...

This makes me happy

I am starting a movement:

Boyd's solo at the end is waaaaayyyyy too long.

I absolutely love DMB and Ants Marching. Jamming before the song is awesome, but that super-extended solo at the end kills the momentum of the song, in my opinion. It's a great pop song because it flows so well. Please Boyd, shorten your solo.

Love,

Jeff Fein (and other people too, probably).

P.S. This is the only time I have ever commented on a YouTube video. That's how strongly I feel about this.

@kissmusiclover Ok, dave was thinking about you and played Ants after Halloween to even satisfy the most selfish fans out there

[jpo8423]

are you all nuts saying halloween ruined ants?

sure, ants is the pinnacle DMB song. But its been played almost 1000 times. Im sorry halloween ruined this one for you? go to another show, youll hear it again. Halloween on the other hand? once in a life time.the song is hardly evr played, and the one song most people still look for. THIS is the Pinnacle dmb song for a real fan. True passion right from dave, raw emotion. Ants cant bring that out of him. you only get shit like this from Halloween
