Dave Matthews - Weight of the World - Rare Song

The guitar parts of DDTW and Bartender are both a little similar (I play both of them) and are both in drop D tuning as people have said. And this was the early version of DDTW. jbdmb is right that it turned into "leave me praying" then that turned into DDTW.
Its awesome to see how DMB songs develop...even from studio to live.
They never cease to amaze me :)

dave later turns it into the song Leave Me Praying and that later became Don't Drink the Water

I hate those idiots who yell at Dave

its definitely most like bartender, interesting song.

From a guitar standpoint, it's more similar to Bartender. At about 2:10 he plays the chorus to what is now Bartender exactly like he still does, only with the singing in the tune of DDTW. At least that's what it sounds like to me.

"weight of the world" turned into "leave me praying" which turned into "dont drink the water"

i know it sounds just like DDTW
and all that.
but, notice in the dave and tim live at radio city.
during dnt drink the water he throws in " this land it your land"
and he does here too

the strumming is like bartender, but then the singing is like ddtw.
peace

that and the fact that ddtw has the same exact chord progression

True, but I was mainly referring to all the people who say it sounds like bartender also :) This is basically early DDTW, indeed. Especially that part "Yes I will call this hoooome" from ddtw, it's the same, exactly.
