Dave Matthews Band - Grey Street (Extended) - 7/12/00

Dave Matthews Band Performs Grey Street at Giants Stadium on 7/12/00. Prior to '01 Grey Street had an extra verse and chorus. This is similar to the LWS version. Grey Street was later truncated and recorded for Busted Stuff.

Dave also recovers from a broken string midway through...

Lyrics from DMBAlmanac.com:

Oh just look at how she listen
but she says nothing of what she thinks
oh, she just listens to the same old thing
running out onto Grey Street
she says, he
how did I come to this
oh, it labors on my life
I'm in this emptiness

But then the rocks in her heart fall
and she feels the weight of life
all the colors mix together
to grey
to break her out

Oh no, [?] indifference
she prays to God most every night
although she swears he doesn't listen
there's hope in her that he just might
and she said, I pray
but they fall on deaf ears
I'm supposed to take it all myself
to get out of this place

Then the rocks in her heart fall
and she feels both weight and light
oh and heaviness floats out of her
and she sinks to sign up the sunlight
and the colors mix together
to grey

Oh, loneliness it brings this
she notices she'll never try
make it real as anything
it takes the work out of your courage
she said, please
there's a crazy man creeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
it's at the end of the world

But then the rope from her tightens
and the wings can make her fly
out of bright light she falls to blackness
out of colors both black and white
oh man, I've no doubt in the worry
only love, say light
but all the colors mix together
to grey
please wake her up
please break her out
then wake her up

And then the rope and the rage is over
oh, and then look who's laughing now
oh no, hatred turns into loving
and now the nighttime the soul is found
oh my when flowers bloom in the desert
only hope can come from that
oh and worn down in your worry
only love and light
all the colors mix together
to grey
and wake us up
to wake her love
to grey, yeah

[brodeus]

My favorite version of one of my favorite song. A magical performance and so lucky to have this amazing video. Thank you "But then the wrong and the rage is over Oh when the light comes laughing loud Oh now hatred turns into loving And now the night time's soul is found Oh my God, when flowers bloom in the desert Only hope can come from that Oh and worn down in your worry Only love can get it right All the colors mix together To grey..."

[showtytony]

You are sooooo right. This band puts on the greatest performance ever witnessed. To see them more that one is to possibly be taken past your limits with every experience. The DMB is , in my opinion, the greatest musical energy sources ever. PERIOD!
