Dave Matthews Band - Blue Water Baboon Farm 4.2.93

DMB live at Salem College, Winston Salem, NC
Lyrics:
Walking by the river I
Reach my hands to cup the sky
Run down my arms a bitter blue
Turn to red and the gashes grew
The river taste me
I'm so much more than I have ever been
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Take this my arms
Take this my eyes
Take this my mouth
And all it says to be
Completely true
Oh, oh, oh, oh...yeah
Walking by the river I
Reach my hands to cup the sky
Run down my arms a bitter blue
Turn to red and the gashes grew
The river taste me
I'm so much more than I have ever been
oh, oh, oh

Run down my arms, a bitter blue. Turn to red, and the gashes grew.

[@MrMantis32]

This show turned me into a DMB fan. In 2009 whoaaaaa

[@onesweetant41]

I could listen to this all day just to hear Roi. There's so much soul in that sax.

[@ryanoconnell9598]

Exactly have it on a loop now !!!

[@jdowsett1]

Wow! Thanks for posting! A little treasure.

[@jamesdombrowski7612]

25 years of being a DMB fan and only just found this amazing tune. One question, how can this great song not still be a regular go to on DMB concert playlists? So much layering, it would be amazing to have Buddy, Tim, Jeff and Rashawn riff through this tune in some extended jam. Why is this great song not played any more?

[@greeenpro2009]

They’ve played it actually. Not regularly as you mentioned though. Live tracks 30:8-18-93 is amazing

[@jimdombrowski2435]

Thanks, just can’t get enough of this song and Good Good Time…..,Dave music is just amazing regardless of topic, mood, or venue.

[@grimblegrumble1337]

@@jimdombrowski2435 i believe they don't play it because of the theme of the song (suicide)

[@Captain_Shine]

💙💙💙💫💫💫💫

[@firedancermom]

thank you for this - awesome

[@DoctorGonzo41]

Thats why he won't play this but once in a blue moon. Its got to be hard for him to play a song he wrote about suicide.

[@caseywinsmann9302]

DoctorGonzo41 but this isnt his only song bout suicide Dave has even said himself he thinks about suicide a lot

[@greeenpro2009]

Ridiculous talent of our time…

Hi tmk1314. This particular recording has an interesting past. First, you can learn more at this site - A dmb tape trading site:
UA-cam wont let me post URL... I'll post it on your profile
This was a direct sound board recording of a show played by dmb when they were still a tiny band from Charlottesville trying to get a break. It's from a show played at the cafeteria of salem college, an all girls school, in front of about 50 people. I highly recommend listening to this "lost" show.

[@BlueWater3641]

Well, youtube is being lame. I can't post a URL to an external site. Go to dreamingtree and find it from there. The show ID is 8626.
