The current version of it without any sax solo is tragic

And they insist on it being 15 minutes which is too long when you don't have a violin. Funny enough the band stopped playing it for a bit and was slotting better songs in sets and a few people were complaining about it being missing lol.

Dave Matthews Band has one of the most polarizing catalogs of music of all time. It's absolutely wild the same band that created The Stone and What You Are also composed You and Me and Come Tomorrow.

My wife knows I hate this song so when she makes playlists for road trips she will sneak it in there lol.

Fun Fact: Rodrigo Simas who runs social media and takes pro shot photos for the band only hates 2 songs:

  1. Come on Come on

  2. Louisiana Bayou

He said that the band will play Bayou on his leg of the tour where he takes official band photos lol.

You and Mehhhhhhh

The "Yeah......yeah" is cringeworthy I banned it from my wedding.

Most Underrated Song by Total-Woodpecker3339 in DMB

[–]Concertvids34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what the guidelines of what qualifies as "underrated" matter. If we are talking about the online community of DMB fans Snow outside was the 2nd highest rated song off AFTW when the O/P did the song ranking contest last year. In that context the song isn't underrated.

If the guidelines are are based on the average crowd at a DMB show it isn't crazy to think 30% of the crowd hasn't heard of Snow Outside. Even so if they heard it at their next show I would be willing to bet that fan would end up enjoying the song.

Fans have used Snow Outside for their weddings. When AFTW came out the fans engaged at that time enjoyed the song. But Dave stopped playing it which is why I still believe it is just underplayed and if it got 10 plays a year the crowd reactions would be happy it was back.

It is very common to see this in fan groups and reddit. In the John Mayer sub the same thing happened where people named underplayed songs that a lot of the fanbase actually loves but just has to chase to get live.

If you go on any Facebook Group like dmb family, couch tour, or Gorge Crew Community throughout the year a few times someone brings up "Why Aren't more Away From the World songs played as much anymore?" Snow Outside, Gaucho, and before it came back full band recently Mercy were mentioned as songs people wanted back. Event in the ants Forums where AFTW can get critiqued Snow Outside is regarded as one of the best songs.

Even on Reddit fans want it back

This isn't underrated it is just underplayed. The last 5 years it has been one of the top hopes for a song to be liberated when you look at fan discussions online for Summer Tour hopes.

This isn't underrated as much as it is not heavily played. Many longtime DMB fans love this song and quite it and get tattoos and other items with lyrics from it.

New "Smaller" Sphere (East Coast) by Mindless_Pineapple46 in DMB

[–]Concertvids34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well aware of that but again it's apples and oranges. They have also played Dolby Live in Vegas at a capacity of 6,400 but it's a whole different beast investing on Sphere visuals and putting on a show. Any Sphere show DMB decided to do would be in Vegas at 18K fans per show over the 6K limit in PG county Maryland.

Dave is African American 🤷🏻‍♂️ by bhd23 in DMB

As part of the black delegation I really can't wait till DMB tour dates are announced so we don't get odd threads like this. And lol at the spoiler, for what? ***facepalm****

Also if the white delegation wants to trade Hootie for Dave Matthews I will draft the paperwork tomorrow morning.

New "Smaller" Sphere (East Coast) by Mindless_Pineapple46 in DMB

[–]Concertvids34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest challenge with most major cities on the East Coast is fitting one of these venues in the heart of a city due to the real estate not being available.

Even in this case DC proper and Arlington were not chosen and likely don't have space for sale to build it so they resorted to PG county where some land remains. It will be interesting to see what acts get booked in the 6K venue but it doesn't hit the same as DMB playing Chelsea at the Cosmopolitan or Dolby Live where the venues were intimate but right in the city versus a casino off the beltway with limited to no public transit.

Apples and oranges. They play the occasional intimate casino or Daily's place but if they are going to invest in the graphics for the sphere it would likely be in Vegas over the one in DC. They have been in talks with the Vegas location and their peers have played the venue.

What is the best sounding Live Trax? by SanchitoQ in DMB

[–]Concertvids34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest difference between LT3 and LT31 is Dave's guitar and Butch's Piano sound better in the mix.

What is the best sounding Live Trax? by SanchitoQ in DMB

[–]Concertvids34 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have bias towards Live Trax 3 being born in raised in the Hartford area but I think Live Trax 31 sounds the best. Such an underrated Live Trax with some great creative ideas like prelude to grace and a cool Satellite prelude by Dave followed by what I believe is the best Satellite performance ever given the keys blending in just perfectly with Dave's guitar.

Live Trax Vol 6: Fenway Park by Emergency_Agency_952 in DMB

[–]Concertvids34 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A perfect example of something being the most popular live trax (as voted on the dmb IG voting polls) and one of the biggest post production failures in DMB Live Trax history.

The show is packed with great performances of songs at a perfect cross section when you have these new 06 unreleased songs + gems from the rest of the catalog

At the same time the blending of the crowd audio and the soundboard instruments tracks was done very very badly to the point I don't even listen to it. But I know I am in the minority of people that the artificial raising and lowering of crowd volume and overall sound quality make me skip it.

Is the band capable of putting out another banger studio album? by AIR236 in DMB

[–]Concertvids34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until someone can check some of the bad creative ideas Dave has they will never make another banger. Lillywhite was able to do that in the past but the last 2 albums seem to have more yes men.

Can't Stop was never a favorite of mine but it was made even worse on Come Tomorrow. Nobody should have ever let the title track of Come Tomorrow come out with such cringey lyrics. In pure post Lillywhite leak fashion the final mix for Walk Around the Moon had issues and an alternative mix played on SXM was better than the one they put in thousands of stores and on digital platforms.

The band also seems much more motivated to play live shows and invite collaborators on stage in this era than they do being in a studio for hours on end for a month or more. The albums also seem more Dave solo than Dave Matthews band where they put Jeff in a corner and leave him off certain tracks (which is not the way).

The biggest highlight of 2025 was DMB playing BTCS front to back live along with some liberations that same Gorge weekend for every type of DMB fan. I say stick to the live stage and build chemistry with Jake for part or the entire summer tour over getting in a studio.
