Dave Matthews covers Prince - Sexy MF



right around 6:25 he does a minute or so of the song

pretty funky - taken a few weeks ago Aug. 30 in Fresno, CA

he has perhaps one of the best live bands out there right now and love how he ends the show with this

I watched that entire clip for what - 20 seconds of "sexy motherf*ckers shaking that *ss" ???

Hardly qualifies as a "cover" of Sexy MF.

Still cool tho'

The per4mance itself was cool as it is cool it didn't need no Prince cover to get more points from me, I like those guys.

yeah.....sorry if the title was misleading

for years i hated that band for some reason and then saw them live and it was hard to deny the talent

dave seems like a pretty talented guy but his band takes him to another level

each member of the band has their own tour bus and i believe they are just always touring - making millions

8 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

But the OP did say that it started at 6:something, so it's my fault I decided to watch the entire clip.

Conclusion: the Band is GREAT. Dave Matthews? Not so much. Can't find the appeal. Although, the most I know about the band is when they covered some civilians in tour band feces.

DMB are sooooo absolutely cold. Carter Beauford on the drums. Chops for days. I felt really horrible when saxman Leroi Moore was killed in that freak accident, as he added so much to them. I'm very happy at DMB hiring on Jeff Coffin (check out the Jeff Coffin Mutet, if you can -- they're awesome). Tim Reynolds' brutal guitar solo. Stefan holdin' it down. Killer stuff.

But there's no denying how awesome a band they are. I think their latest album is just under "Before These Crowded Streets" in quality. And, if they're doing a rearrangement of "Squirm," then consider me floored.

I wish Prince would interact with his fans the way DMB do. But, that's neither here nor there...

The mere idea of this is horrifying to me. I've always hated DMB, and being forced to see them live a few years ago only validated the feeling. ill

while i kinda agree - he has one hell of a band

i actually saw them just once.....and i hope i never see them again

that being said - the band was tight and yeah....CB on the drums is the best

and yeah, the audio of the clip was directly from the soundboard which dave makes available for his fans

I love DMB, but I have to be in the mood for them. They lost their way for a couple of albums, but I like the latest one. Of course, they are fantastic live.
