Call me what you want, but DMB’s cover of the song is the best version I’ve heard. Jimi’s was amazing and is a seminal piece of rock history and Dylan’s has a haunting foreboding to it, but this version captures the essence of the lyrics and its build up to confrontation in a way no one else has. Between the buildup and the actual howling and the musical proficiency and then the explosion of sound, it’s the most powerful, goosebump-inducing version I’ve ever heard.
Mushrooms 🍄 🍄 🍄 might change your mind. Just keep this in mind while making your mind up which version is actually better, once your mind is expanded , it will never return to it's original shape.

@@py_a_thon It's really too bad they named it the "Dave Matthews Band." People seem to think it's him and a bunch of guys playing instruments along for the ride. Nothing could be further from the truth
@@sre94 They are one of the tightest live bands one can see in this world. The amount of collective skill on that stage is insane, especially if/when they ever have an ensemble or string/brass section joining them.
Lucky enough to have seen DMB at all stages… bars, frat parties, opener, headliner, and stadium shows. Every performance was legendary and every time they played this song. Even saw them perform this with Neil Young at Scotts Stadium in Charlottesville where the band originated. Brings unique heat every time. Love this song!!!
Absolutely in the pocket, Dave knows when to step back and let the rest of the band shine, Stellar musicianship, excellent emotion, this is a perfect performance.
DMB is so underrated as musicians. Each of the guy's are extremely talented at their respective instruments, and this is such a great example of all of their talents
A real musician knows and respects their fans knowing regardless of their bank account without fans they would have and be nothing...a regular person disposable and worthless in the big picture of things
I never get tired of this version...from the bass, to the sax, the electric fiddle, and the keyboards...the drummer and Dave bringing it home...what an outstanding 13 minutes of NRG!
Best rendition of this song. But this might be the greatest song/performance of all time from anyone. I’ve never been hit by something as hard as this. Tears in my eyes watching. Every time. Absolutely amazing ❤😢
I totally agree. It is absolutely powerful. The changes in the song take you through a range of emotions. They are phenomenal in all regards. I too consider this version my absolute favorite. Wonder what Bob has to say about this legend song done in such a unique way!!??
Once I heard from someone that he told that person that he never did Modern Drummer Festival (and I always asked myself why he didn't) because he didn' like (even he doesn't know how) to do solo😂 When you listen him carefully, you'll discover that his every song is complex solo on drums by it self. Magnificent drummer.
Seriously , If this performance does not get you to appreciate the Dave Mathews band , nothing will . Awesome job guys , recreate and introduce the best music ever !!
i'm so lucky i was there. it was amazing. truly. stefan's star spangled banner blew the park open. even the cops were rocking out. one of the best nights of my life.
There’s the question of what concert/performer dead or alive do you wish you could’ve seen? I’m 32 years old and for me, it’s this concert here. I wish I could’ve been in the crowd for this specific concert. Central Park NY 2003. From top to bottom this concert is out of this world to me. Super lucky to be able to watch it in whole but it’s my #1. I think this is one of the best live shows of all time.
@@K92-oz Nah, the base player sucks, at least when it comes to complimenting the phenomenal play of the drummer. That's why Dave occasionally brought in guest bassists like Victor Wooter so that Carter can play with somebody on his same level from time to time.
This might be my favorite live performance ever. Everything about this is just beautiful. Especially with headphones where you can here every instrument. Just amazing.
@@pacerodi Definitely those are more than amazing as well, and I enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed this performance by Dave. Everyone has done an outstanding job using their particular way of project and communicate this branch of the art. Moreover, Which is my personal insight, I think this performance has been one of the best, not only the cover, the song or who was the original, it just the energy and the flow that sometimes only a few can reach; and in this case Dave was one of those. Thank you for your comment!
Yes, the song itself has such an eerie feel to it, the Jimi took it to another level, then this takes to yet another one. It's mystical, something no artist can really make happen on their own. It's a gift, that's the best way I can put it. Always effects me the same way, no matter how many times I hear it or who does it. Particularly now, with everything that has gone on in NYC, and the world. The Great Spirit gave us this one. I'm sure of it.
Say what you will - but ONLY these guys could pull off a damn near 13(!) minute version of this and have it purely BAD ASS. When Carter Beauford doesn't add his own solo because HE DOESN'T HAVE TO just shows you how AMAZING this band really is. 😳🤯🔥💯
Ok...some of this sounds Bot-ish... You never heard this band? 25 yrs touring...One of the most successful touring Bands, World Wide, a Modern Day Grateful Dead??? And you never heard of this band??? Doesn't sound believable and the person who (supposedly) claiming DMB is on par with The Beatles is outta they're mind... Come on, The Beatles changed music and Culture...I've been a DMB fan for almost 30 yrs... The Dave Matthews Band is great, incredibly talented...seen them live but comparing them to The Beatles is a bit ridiculous... 2 different bands... DMB is about The Tour...they kill on the Studio also...amazing stuff... The Beatles, just studio work alone leaves no comparison.... Touring??? see how that started a phenomena... Dave packs a house...remember also he's doing it in the 90s... The 60s had none of the sound tech to get a Beatle show down...ever hear a Beatles Show live??? You cant....lol Fenton wasn't born yet when they still touring when The Fab 4 were touring so saying DMB is as good or better than The Beatles us absurd... Best album(s) DMB: BTCS UTTAD CRASH The Beatles: Rubber Soul Revolver Let It Be I haven't counted Sgt. Pepper in There. Lol.. Songs on those Albums changed how music was recorded... Instruments never used in Pop Music were introduced popular music. Sitar Harpsichord Hip Hop, Sampling started during this run of albums...Beatles did it 1st... The Term World Music begins with The Beatles... Oh yea, they were 1st to perform via Sattelite across The World... And "just wrote" a song for it, "All You Need Is Love" Ok, now DMB.... Amazing Tour Band. Great Songs of great albums but nowhere on par with The Beatles... Dave's a Beatles fan...became a musician inspired by The Beatles music... I rest my case. Kinda disappointed he did a Fetterman rally...lol Guess now he now approves of Fracking also...🤣🤣🤣
@@theman-pc2ej I do not agree that they strive to get the best out of them. They are perfectly and absolutely talented. That they are not so well known is another story
I just started a new job as a security guard today and some how me and one of my coworkers got on the topic of music and he recommended that I listen to DMB and man I’m so mad at myself for not finding out about them earlier. I love how each instrument gets there own time to shine, the energy Dave gives when he’s singing, and the overall feeling I got when I started listening to the song, truly a great bunch of musicians. Will definitely need to find out if they’re coming on tour to Detroit. Amazing.
They'll be at pine know in clarkston on June 27th. They have a new album coming out in May, so 5-6 songs that night will be from that. A few have already been played live, like madman's eyes, walk around the moon, and the ocean and the butterfly. I also recommend checking out the entire central park concert, as well as releases Live Trax 22 and Live Trax 28, both on spotify, to give yourself a broader scope of their work.
Where has all the music gone? Television Children Fed. Blowing in the wind...... those were the days my friend I thought they'd never end. Thank you DMB
WOW!, or maybe- WOWZA!! This rendition by Dave Matthews Band, ALL of them!!! of Dylan's timeless CLASSIC, is among the BESTEST, I've EVER HEARD, in my LIFE!!! I'm 73 years old now, have heard- All Along The Watchtower, both by Dylan and can't count them any,more covers by ALL types of bands, BIG and locals. Count me now- I'M a Dave Matthews Band FAN forever!!!!
JUST SO DANG GOOD, I may be young, but I love dave matthews band so much, especially carter Beauford, my favorite drummer ever, and dave, just such a great guitarist, and that bass, oh my god he’s so good

What a rare and amazing thing it is to see a band grow and hone their skills over the years. If you watch their performance from Woodstock 99 of this song, you'll clearly see the dedication and commitment they've made to their craft, and this song in particular. Amazing.
This is masterclass when Dave screams like that I feel the chill on top of the chill I had before begin to shoot down my back. This is why I love MUSIC I’ll never stop playing or being a fan. Love you all thank YOU.

This may have been his best concert ever. Dave showed up big time for this and all the guests, especially Dave and Warren's version of Cortez The Killer during that show was mind blowing. Bring me back!! Lol
There is absolutely no fat on this performance, just pure perfection from start to finish. The band jamming out is just music in it's purest form. I never get tired of them performing this song. Chills every time.

They are so tight in their performance...just the best!! To be there live would have been unforgettable forever!!
His breath management is impeccable
This never gets old
Do you ever notice that Dave Matthews just lets him play until he is ready to play the song, that speaks volumes!
Amazing! What a terrific bunch of unbelievably talented musicians! Love it! Jimi's jammin' in heaven to it!
I actually like it more than the hendrix version.
DMB= GENIUS
@@mr.b.9890 it was a gift from Richie to both of them. They were Seattle buddies.
You do know it's a Bob Dylan song, right?
This is a bob dylan song that jimi hendrix loved and redid. I think this version might have trumped them all
I used to see them playing small clubs in Charlottesville Virginia, in the late 80's at like Trax the night before the UVA football games
I love dave Matthews is watching his man on the violin like my boys killing it
75 years I came into our house and I was thinking too when you hear HIMSELF. CAN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS
I’m watching this on the 19th anniversary of 9/11.
I can’t help but think that this performance carries so much weight today.
Such an awesome performance 💯 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Never was a fan of DMB ... until a friend asked if I had seen them in concert. Wow! The wall of sound that came out of these guys blew my mind.
DMB is amazing live.
U never seen Pink Floyd or REO Speedwagon.
James Breitenbach Unfortunately no. Although I love live music, I rarely go to concerts. Have seen DMB 3 times though.
@@bc1301 reckon I'm old school. nothing plays like the original. if u like this rendition, then more power to ya.
@@fasteddie1257 you mean good ol bob dylan orignal
What an amazing journey this band has been on. They've become true masters of their craft and are deservingly celebrated around the world. Thank you to the band for all the great memories! Here's to many more.
This Band, and Dave’s voice, are always mesmerizing.
This may have been his best concert ever. Dave showed up big time for this and all the guests, especially Dave and Warren's version of Cortez The Killer during that show was mind blowing.
Bring me back!! Lol
the drumming in this is mind bending
There is absolutely no fat on this performance, just pure perfection from start to finish. The band jamming out is just music in it's purest form. I never get tired of them performing this song. Chills every time.
Stefan Lessard on the bass guitar 🔥 One of the best low key bass performances
BADDEST, JAM, EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! NOBODY has EVER performed this Classic with Anywhere Near as much Enthusiasm And Perfection- What a Tribute!!
I think Jimi Hendrix would have something to say about that . . .
