99% of the so-called "artists" on the pop music charts CANNOT perform live like this. Respect to Dave for being a true artist who can absolutely nail each song performance, even solo in a mall. Justin Beiber couldn't hold Dave's jock strap.

This was my kids first "concert". We got there 2 hours early and got a spot right up front in the corner. Dave shook my brother-in-law's hand when he came out! Just as Stay or Leave ended at 25:24, Dave notice my 4yr old son on my shoulders feverishly applauding and smiling!! Dave pointed at him, and smiled back and by reading his lips I could tell his said something like, "look at that smile...". Stay or Leave will always be my favorite song just because of that little moment. I'm proud that my 3 kids were able to see Dave in person, 10ft away for their first concert! ;)

DM is a modern day Mozart. 200 years from now when the Psy's and Beiber's are long forgotten, people will still be listening DM, and borrowing inspiration from his incredible catalog of music. He is a musical genius.

I was the guy that shouted RYE Whiskey and he played it-- and it wasnt on the setlist, so that was pretty cool and stuff. This video is just awesome because it shows how real Dave is and why I think so many people like the musics.

I agree Whole Heartedly, this is one of the true musical artists of our time.

Such a real person! No one else can make toes curl like Dave.

Fantastic. His music will live on for the next generations to come. I just hope kids these days recognize the talent and true artistry that goes with him and musicians like him. Rock on Dave!

Found this gem during the social distancing/stay home time (it’s April 7 2020)... how great is this man... he’s worth 300million yet willing to show up at a mall solo and play because a friend asked him to ☮️❤️

Just strolling through the mall and "oh look, dave matthews is playing! "

Dave Matthews Band has been (without a doubt) my fav band since the early 90's. There is nothing on earth like sitting in row close to the stage at a live concert. It gave me a purely euphoric feeling through the entire concert the first time I had a chance to go. GREAT!!!!

Like so many other occasions, I was fortunate to have made this appearance of Dave's. I love Rye Whiskey!

It is official I am in love with Dave Mathews! I love all his live singing I even love it when he speaks!!!

I'm on my wife's account... she passed a few months ago and "stay or leave" hit me hard takes new meaning to me now. Followed by the whiskey song I've become an alcoholic since she left me. We saw DMB 5 times together I'll never forget the first show we saw together we were young and I couldn't afford to buy her a tshirt and we found one in the mud that fit her perfectly. The last time I saw her alive she was wearing the shirt. She always wore that shirt.... I'm sorry I'm being a bummer... thanks for so many good times I will never forget dave thank you.

Thank you Chester, for all you do. Bellevue my old hometown. Cheers

Dave probably lives down the street so he jumped in the Benz and headed down to perform what will be the best show the people who were at this event will ever see! I'm a huge fan who just loves the live performances. He's a true artist and this Rye Whiskey version is truely out of left field!!!

Dave is the man.

Love it. Been an obsessive DMB fan since 1993, and I always will. Can never get enough. Seen them 15 times in Dallas TX so far.

10:05 - So Damn Lucky - Definitely one of the more passionate awesome renditions of one of my favorites.

Absolute BEST Dave Solo performance EVER........

This. Just this. It can never get old. Thank you, Dave.

Awesome - I grew up in Bellevue, and hung out at this mall many a time. Sad to have missed this, but I'm glad it was recorded. Huge thanks to Chester and Dave for this!

Wow kickass setlist for a mall and Dave gives 110% even for a small crowd.

Man, I envy him... All day long I play my guitar, I wish I had people from all over the world wanting to hear me... not only my parents yelling at me in 2 AM that they're sick of me making noise lol

I'm not even a huge Dave Mathews fan, but I dig some of his music...true musicians...as I watch him sing and play at the same time, he almost seems robotic, like he's so damn good he can just program himself to just go all out...some of the stuff he plays is not simple, and he has to sing over every little thing he plays...impressive.

It's so funny to watch this and them watch the video you have from the blockbuster store. It's amazing what 17 years of very hard work can do.

Wow!! He just amazes me all the time, I would love to meet him

Love it Dave .. just love it.

I love musicians who just love music. the ones who don't want anything but to share it with people...DAVE MATHEWS YOU ARE AWESOME!!! As long as music lives music like this will live on

thank you for making my morning brighter!!! Been a dave fan since forever in the early 90's! :) This is awesome

Besides all the awesomeness that is Dave, what a setlist!

Thank you for this.....beautiful . How lucky are those people to see this , wish they would just stop talking while Dave was singing, show some respect people !! Let the man sing ♥♥

Dave Matthew is a poet & lyrical genius! I'm a die hard fan & cannot believe I just found this. Pretty cool when Bill Gates pings your cell & asks you to perform! Then he comes out swinging for the fences with Crush, then So Damn Lucky...wow! Stay or Leave is a fantastic song rarely performed, one of his best...

I love how he plays so effortlessly - true musician!

i love when you get a chill when he starts singing.

41:41 - that note gives me chills 100% of the time he sings it live.

That Halloween tease was epic. Great stuff!

AWESOME DAVE

"HALLOWEEN!" *dave laughs really hard* hahahahaha priceless

holy fucking shit. i would have paid $500 for this 10 years ago, although it's equally great, now.

wow, i always knew he was a great acoustic guitar player but his playing in this video is amazing.

that was awesome to see! what a down to earth human being! DMB

it's so amazing that he did this!

thank you so much for this, great job!

Haha he really didn't want to be there that morning, at all. But he still put on a great show. When he performs he does it truly. Legit artist.

Awesome!!

really amazing! thank you so much for sharing

He's a regular dude too, just like you. The only thing that separates you from him is belief. If you believe in yourself, you really can achieve anything. Never give up bro! Peace.

Excellent flow between sources.

Ending with Don't Drink the Water, brilliant

yup, cant think of his name off the top but he has always been there

Great Job Chestercopperpot5!!! Found this today...great job recording!! This was AWESOME!!!

The dudes that make his guitars are sick, they're the lightest "machines" I've ever held. They make 'em in town here in C'ville, just perfection.....

Amazing 😀

amazing

Very cool, thanks for posting. He was 15 mins away from my house but I was in VA for his shows! Figures ;)

!!! XoxOxoX !!! Much appreciation for all your hard work AND sharing, Jason! kiss, kiss

SO NICE I LIKED IT TWICE

I love all the people recording on their I-phones haha, legit set!

freakin A, a younger Dave Matthews in 2010 playing in a mall. I missed out

mighty fine instrument you got there dave.

Took my son Bennett to this, his first "up close" Dave show...we were about twenty feet from stage on Dave's right...great time

I love when he does "this land was made for you and me" part of Dont drink the water

I watch this every weekend.

Thank You !!!

Jason ~ You fekkin' rawk my world!!! Thank you for putting this treat all together!!! amAzingggg!!! XoxOxoX

awesome, thank you

It's my dream to hold a conversation with Dave Matthews. Your so lucky!

Even when it's just him and a guitar without the band, with even Tim he's amazing.... It's sad his guitar playing doesn't get more respect... No one else plays like that and even John Mayer claims him as an influence.

This is awesome! Thanks for putting this together. Flawless.

Thank you Jason!!

Bm is the base chord of the song. Everything else is just well, Dave. My brother and I played this at a few coffee shops, wish we could nail it like he does.

Ive been waiting for this! Nice!!!

that halloween tease made my day

man, he has spirit like fire

"IF" the lord were just a notion of music, that notion would be Dave Mathews !!! ... there is no one like him ... ;)

I wish he'd come to my mall...

" I hope this doesn't interrupt anybody's shopping experience ... " lol Dave is funny

It is absolutely maddening that this only has 15K hits and that crap by Gaga and Berber have 100's of millions of hits. Makes you really wonder what direction humanity is going. Big ups to Bill Gates for having good taste in music.

Holy shit, that Save Me.

awesome as hell thank u!!!

That guitar sounds awesome, the Martin.

dave's old taylor, beauty.

Baby in pink ....instant Dave Fan!!!

I agree 100% this is the mark of a true musician! Solo! John Mayer is another one that can pull this off and has...

LOVE ME some Dave Matthews.. I dont give a f**k

"HALLOWEEN........!" Best look on daves face...

Well said! I couldn't agree more! :)

I love the Goonies music in the intros

How lucky were these people wth wish I was there

wow!!!!!! this is awesome n_n

Thanks ChesterCopperPot5

How did I miss this?!?!?!!

whaaaat? RYE WHISKEY

oh....my........ 💞

the chords he plays are wild and real

I lol'd at him saying DDTW was his Thanksgiving song

Dave really doesn't get enough credit as a singer/song-writer. Look at the construction of "Crush"- there is nothing simple about that song.

all he needs is his voice and guitar

all of a sudden I want some rye whiskey...

First thing I did after seeing it was in a mall was check the concert date (expecting it to be realllly old)
