    Making music can’t get anymore joyful than these guys seem to be making this music. A moment in time of pure musical comradrie magic.

    Dave Matthews brings with his band qualities from all over the world. Playing together with Hugh Masekela brings out the powerful gentleness and grace. Not many Americans carry such qualities. Phenomenal energy for good.

    Whenever I have a panic attack I think of the first time I heard this nearly 2 years ago and remember that I'm alive and can get through whatever I'm anxious about.

    It’s hard to believe this video has been here for 10 years. Over the last 8 years I’ve grown, lost people, gained people, experienced life. I revisit this occasionally and feel the same emotions I’ve felt listening for the first time. I hope wherever you are that you’re doing well and know no matter what happens we’re all in this journey together. Peace be with you all.

    I return to this video often. I love Hugh's take, the space the band gives him, and Dave's reverence for the maestro. Never was a fan of this song until this version. THIS version is possibly my favorite song by the band.

    We're aware of the phenomenon of Bass face, but here we truly get a glimpse of Dave Face at 5:10. Incredible band. I'd argue it worked for so long because of the joy, sincerity and humanity the oozes from their music. What a thrill.
