Carter Beauford, the drummer, is a bad dude!

Ive been drumming for over 25 years and still struggle with almost all of Daves songs. Carter is in a class all by himself man.

RIP LeRoi Moore. The original woodwinds player for DMB. His live solos were amazing.

Carter Beauford, the drummer, is considered the best of the best, top drummer. And of course Boyd Tinsley, the violinist, is legendary. Take a listen to the studio version of this song, it's real tight and the way it all flows and blends and the amazing sounds, it's one of my favorite all time songs. Guaranteed to put anyone in a good mood.

People hate on Dave, but try and play these songs on your guitar and sing them, and we'll talk again. This band is so talented it's insane.

Carter Beauford is a beast on the kit. Top ten for me

Early 90s caught "this guy from South Africa with a good band" at a tiny club in Victoria, Canada. Everyone there took the next day off work. Insane.

The DMB (and his solo work) offer a deep well. And as a side note, you should check out various tracks from the concert film ‘Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds at Radio City Music Hall’. It’s just him and his guitarist on two acoustic guitars and a grand piano, and it’s awesome. It’s stripped down music with passion. But there’s so much to dig into.

Gotta love that improvised 3 minute intro! Dave Matthews Band live is always a celebration of the musical experience! There's obvious reasons why they are one of the perennial and consistent Top 10 touring bands in the US for the last 20 years. Seeing them jamming on stage... doesn't get much better.

And all of their live albums sounds just this Damn crispy 😅 9:04

I love that y’all did DMB. Reactors act like they don’t exist!!!!

These boys play for the love of playing. The respect and friendship is immense, and I always say that I think they forget that there's even an audience there sometimes lol but it's not in a bad way at all, it's part of what makes DMB who they are. Watching them play live is the closest I'll ever get to heaven.

Love you guys. I hope I can convince you to check out Robert Cray Band. Great voice, great guitar & great stories told with the lyrics. Try and see what you think of "Right Next Door" & " The forecast calls for pain"

The Dave Matthews band is the best band that you can still see in concert! Love 'em!

Not only do they still tour, but they are known as one of the best live bands you can ever see. RIP Leroi 😢 everyone of them is the top of their instrumental class. Dave with time Reynolds is also incredible beyond words have fun yall

Dave Matthews live is so much fun. They’re jamming the whole time, and the crowd fully participates. Incredible musicians. Carter’s drumming is amazing, as is everyone else. Ants Marching always the highlight of their shows.

Thanks for introducing this to me. Wow incredible!. I am going to download this. Fantastic reaction fellas! Appreciate you 🙏 ❤

I'm so glad ya'll got around to this one, I'm a big fan of the Dave Mathews Band. This song "Ants Marching" is from their debut album and is one of the bands best known songs. However, the band has a pretty deep discography. Here's another live performance, if interested. "Dave Mathews Band - The Dreaming Tree (Live at Piedmont Park)" this song I've suggested is from their album called "Before These Crowded Streets" released in 1998. (IMO) this band has been hugely successful and definitely overlooked here on KZfaq. The Dave Mathews Band has released ten studio albums, eighty-five live albums, three compilation albums, eight video albums, two extended plays, thirty-six singles (including one as a featured artist) and twenty-one music videos...DMB has sold over 33 million albums in the USA. I really enjoyed jamming with you fellas' thanks so much for sharing. peace out~

This is from their debut album, Under the Table and Dreaming. For me, their first 4 or 5 albums are just ridiculous, truly amazing music. Frankly don't care as much for their later albums, especially after the first Glen Ballard produced one changed their styles and structure to a more "radio friendly" stuff, but they still come out with some good newer stuff overall, just not as good as those first 5 albums.

There's so much joy in their music.

La and Che!!!! There you go again! My (late) son's name was David Matthew, and of course we listened to Dave Matthews Band all the time during his illness. You picked a great live one to review today. Thanks so much! God bless you both! ....May I suggest the Listener Supported live album...full of deep cuts!

Dave’s band has always been killer!!! Another musical pothole especially for Che 😊

Play that song so many times on MTV when I was young. I grew to despise it. sounds good now. After all these years, especially live .good stuff, God bless. Thanks fellows

Careful, a couple more DMB tunes and Che's liable to go on a binge for days!

WOW! That's cookin' with some HOT grease! One UNIQUE band. Amazing talent in every player. They're sizzling hot.🔥& Tastee! More please👍🏻

I would love to see you guys react to Jimi Thing live in Central Park. It's amazing

One of the best most underrated nasty drummers out there Mr. Carter Beauford !!!! The rest of the band is also damn good as is Dave.

It was perfect timing with the right people at the right time in the right place in Virginia that formed this band. My favorite band ever. I just learned that DMB's debut album was certified 6x platinum.

Really enjoyed this reaction. Listened to this gem 1,000 times, have seen the band live many times; but listening to it with the both of you brought the feeling I had when first listening to it so long ago! "People in every direction...no words exchanged, there's no time to exchange them.. all the little ants are marching, black and red antennae waving....and we all do it the same wayyyy!"

In another year we'll make it to Billy Strings. Hell yeah!!

“Rapunzel” is the song, and violin performance, that got me hooked. I knew of Dave Matthews but wasn’t a big fan early on (they drew the stoner crowd at college, which wasn’t my crowd). I was given tickets to a show later on, and that song in particular blew me away. (No pun intended 😏)

Leight weight mosh pit! Priceless. Dave Matthews Band are pretty much genius musicians. Incredible & so gifted with their magic making. Thank you for sharing this one. Never without love for this band. Quite something when you see them live. Keep enjoying.

Best concert atmosphere you could hope for. And Dave is one of the nicest people to talk with. A band based on generosity and building on each other’s strengths… and tons of humour.

I saw DMB open up for Phish back in 94. For phish’s encore both bands played “All Along the Watchtower “. It was great

You guys are a vibe..... I came here for the Dave Matthews Band reaction, but I'm subscribing because of you two and your camera presence\chemistry. - from a man from all the way over in Australia 'bout to go binge the s@#t out of your channel.

Have you guys ever listened to ELO (Electric Light Orchestra)? Rocking strings are strong in that one. They were one of the biggest bands of the 70s. Mr. Blue Sky, Evil Woman, Do YA are popular songs.

This is Dope!!

First time ive ever listen to that the whole way 😂. Aazing.

Yea!!! DMB!!! Love this one!

That's a Baaad Jam right there.

Its A Beautiful Day was a late 60s folk / psychedelic band the was built around Electric violins. Their song White Bird got a decent amount of airplay in the day

I was at this one. Not the best DMB show I've seen, but we got to sing to Roi for his birthday. It would be the last time I saw him. RIP Mr Moore.

This was the best reaction I have seen you guys do yet. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the two of you. One introducing the music to the other. Can’t wait to hear some more Dave Matthews! They have such a deep rabbit hole to go through.

"Dave Matthews Band - #41 w/ The Flecktones - 4/20/02 - Ottawa - [32min Version]" Yes they riff this song out to 32 minutes, Part because they had the Flecktones up as well and I think everyone in both bands had a solo. Their "Jimi Thing" performance in Central park is pretty fantastic too. 13+ minutes of riffs. Carter Beauford the Drummer you can just see the joy in this performance.

That was phenomenal! 🔥 Maybe I should put them on my concerts to see list. Pure energy!

I've watched them twice in Brazil. It's time to see them again 'tiil it's too late.

I love the Dave Matthews stereotype in comedy. It reminds me of my older brother lmao.

One of my favorite reaction videos on the internet. I love y’all boys

That drummer is elite elite at that technical groove style!! Carter Beauford He goes around North America doing drum clinics as a teacher... endorsed by Yamaha drums and some stick company (i forget which one)

I was probably at that show, been to many, and they are a huge event, a bunch of amazing musicians, putting on a great show, which turns out to be a great time !

first time taking a listen to this Badass! more more more

Don't sleep on the drummer either. Carter is phenomenal with the sticks

Dave is INDEED playing with Hall of Famers. He hand selected them while bartending in Charlottesville, NC. He admits to selecting them to exploit them for their magical talents. 30+ shows for me. I absolutely love the diversity of this band- race, style, and creativity. Best ever.

Now that you're getting into some Dave Matthews, there's two videos you need to check out. They did a cover of Cortez the killer live in Central Park with special guest Warren Haynes. Then check out a later live version of Whipping Post by the Allman Brothers, with Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes. Derek Trucks is the nephew of Butch Trucks, one of the drummers from the Allman Bros.

Thanks for finally getting to DMB. I knew this would be up your alley. DMB is great on record, but is a differnt beast live. You need to check them out when they come your way. La as a drummer you wont be able to take your eye off Carter Beauford. The dude is incredible and may be the best living drummer. Please check out Grey Street live Central Park. If fact do that whole concert and you wont be disappointed.

Dave Matthews Band- The Last Stop (Live In Chicago '98)

My favorite DMB song is "Crash into me".

Dave has a unique voice. It’s so perfect in these songs. No one can truly cover this song, this band and voice isn’t easily replicated.

We need some more DMB ASAP fellas. No kidding.. you can't do 1 and leave us hanging like this.

must see the video by Carter Beauford entitled Under the Table and Drumming...Epic stuff

you guys killed this blind review! huge ass grin through the entire thing :)

Check out Two Step from the same show. (Live in Central Park 2003). 🤘🏼❤️

YALL REMIND ME OF MY HOMIES.... MATT COHWER AND WADE ANYWAY. ..... I FEEL LIKE IM CHILLIN WITH YALL. GREAT WORK

I love your excitement!!

YO YOU C RACKIN ME UP. CUZ THIS IS THE BESTEST... I LOVE MEEEEEE ALL DAY DMB

you got to react to Dave Matthews #41 - incredible song!!!

Dave and his band are incredible!! A great video to react to is Dave and the band with Warren Haynes play Cortez the Killer! Warren is insanely good in the video!!

Dude that would be a concert for sure

I saw Dave Matthews Band for the first time in Vegas in 1995. They opened 3 shows for The Grateful Dead. It was the first time I ever saw an electric violin and they blew me away, they were sooo much fun!!!👍👍👌👌✌✌😁😁

That was awesome, thanks..kinda makes you glad to be alive, huh...

My son is named after that drummer, best on the planet!

And when you do Radio City bartender, the bartender is God. Just keep that in mind.

Beauford should be part of the conversation when people discuss The Great One

if you never listen or follow DMB, do yourselves a favor and always listen to their live versions of each song and at least once in your life go to a concert. They JAM!!!

That violin riff is exactly the same as the one from Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al" from 1986's "Graceland" album.

Been touring for 34 years, almost consecutively. I think 3 or 4 out of those they didn’t go out. And every stadium, arena, venue of every show is packed, with people from all backgrounds, all age. It’s insane. And once you go to the shows, studio albums just don’t hold a candle.

This was in 2007, a benefit concert to raise money for Piedmont Park in Atlanta. The live show was released on CD in 2007 as well, "Live at Piedmont Park". The Allman Brothers were there too. More than 80, 000 in attendance. One of the best concerts I have ever been to! So glad you chose a live version of this song! Carter Beauford 🔥

@airplaybeats. Gentlemen, yours is about the third reaction vid…prolly closer to the 5th😂cuz its easy to forget the number of times and versions of this song live ive watched, both on youtube AND at the shows, but no matter how many ive watched, y’ALL have this same reaction! Just amazed, excited, and truly appreciative of the immense talent these guys brought/bring to the world of music. Sadly, LeRoi the horn player has passed, and Boyd, the violinist is no longer with the band. Still, this will always be a band best seen live. Their energy is a better high than damn near any drug ive ever done. Thanks again for recognizing DMB’s awesomness!

I'd love to see you react to a live version of "Warehouse". It's the song the DMB fan club is named after, and I don't think I've seen anyone else react to it.

Oh yeah, you definitely need to go to their concert. Go Warriors. Go Niners. 😊

Before Dave Matthews there was a band in Richmond called "Secrets" and some of them, moved to Dave Matthews in Charlottesville, most notably, the drummer. Here is one of their best songs - Secrets - After Hours - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p82lgrOZvqitj4k.html Check out the bass player Keith Horne on that one.

One of the best free shows i ever saw, before they were known. 💯 Not that im cool or anything... i just happebed to be at a bar at the right time. 🤣 BUT... 💯 That dude c*** blocked me at a party after the show. 🤣 I was talking to a girl and Dave walked in and looked at her and was like "Cynthia... you wanna smoke up?" and she forgot i existed. 💯🤣 That bastard. 🤣🤣🤣

LOVE DMB!!! It's like a MUSICAL SCHMORGASBOARD!!!! Instrumentals are SO BOLD AND RICH!!! Can't go wrong with THIS rabbit-hole!! HUGS! 🤍☮

That opening makes me miss Roi so much

The drummer is so good !

2 step at MSG would be right up your alley.

If you guys haven't checked it out yet, I'd love to hear your review of "Bartender" Dave and Tim from Radio City.

I’ve been fortunate to see them live several times and they really put on a show. He usually performs over Memorial Day weekend in the Gorge Amphitheater in George, WA. ❤❤❤

Hell yeah I’m always here for some Dave Matthews 🙌🏼❤😎 I love how their intros are just like them warming up like buds 😊

Great to see how much you guys loved live DMB. They were my favorite band for many years. I've seen them live 35ish times (lost count sometime after 30). This performance is a great representation of what their shows are like. That is very much the vibe for most, if not all of the 3 hours they are playing. I'd watch any reaction videos you do for these guys.

That studio album got me through a dark emotional time in 95. Glad I got to see them twice... and I went by myself. Y'all should add that album to your list of reactions to whole albums. Total 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥! With that said yes, I love that violinist. One of the best to ever don that sweet instrument. That drummer is one bad ass MFer too. ooooweeeee!!!

If you do another Dave song please please please do Jimi Thing from the Central Park concert: amazing guitar solo, sax solo, fiddle solo and some of the best skat I've heard from a modern artist. This was a great reaction!

Barcus Berry violin Jean Luc Ponty the first to use in the 70s! you must check him out!

Stefan Lessard the bass player was still in high school when he got that gig

Yes, they have a stadium full. Dave matthews band has sold out stadiums for the last thirty years. Every place they play every time they play.

So is the bass player! 👍

GREAT song by the band of the 90s…and beyond! Lots of pool and beer to DMB on the box….what a talented bunch of musicians! Gotta dig their vinyl out now…thanks fellas! Loved the reaction esp La! I enjoyed it all!

Wife here . Love DMB the violin and drummer kill this ! I got into them much later in the game . I’m old ha. I finally got to see live few summers ago and it was such a fail concert . No violinist ( he had legal problems) didn’t replace Boyd for this show . I love like 12-20 songs they did two good ones. I’ve been to so many concerts in My day and I thought they’d be one of the best . Not sure if bad tour or what but they sucked that night! I’m still mad . Still listen at home though. Listen to Stay, Grace is Gone, Crash into me, What would you say , Grey Street, lots of awesome musicianship loved this band. They should stop doing my man Neil Young though can’t be touched! Enjoyed watching your faces during this one . Carter and Boyd and Dave rock the hell out of this song .

🎉 If you like electric violin 🎻, try on some David La Flame from the band, It’s a Beautiful Day. You’ll enjoy, “White Bird.”

Yay! They are really good live. Virginia in the Rain is one of my favorite songs of his. For those with daughters....or sons for that matter...kids in general, will relate to this song. Lovely song. And the drums kill it!
