I have never given him his due. My problem, really.

Perhaps it really is old people's music, anyway I like it. Hmmm... I'm feeling pretty much the opposite upon TRYING to listen to (tolerate) this piece. I tried, number of years ago, to appreciate Dave's music, because my older son was really into it... and some of it I found listenable and somewhat enjoyable (mainly because I appreciate jazz somewhat). But now, hearing this... I agree with the previous poster: a whole lot of "screeching and wailing"... in this case, Dave, not the audience. Yeah... MAKE IT STOP!  Awful... just DREADFUL.

How many years does Dave Matthews plan to continue re-recording the same song?

I'm from deepintheheart of Europe and have never heard of Dane Cook, but perhaps that's because of his lack of humor |

Put me in the Dave is bloody brilliant camp. The more I hear him, the more I like him.
This is an awesome live performance!

I actually don't mind this song...but DMB's "live" albums have grown tiresome and this version of Seek Up is particularily dull. Ever since Kenny G I do not need to hear saxaphone anymore...nevermind sax solos and fills every 20 seconds. 3

I saw them in Europe once, because I was curious what they would be like live. Apparently a large group of crusties had travelled along and made the whole concert completely unbearable because of their screeching and wailing (no, not the band...)

What 's wrong with this guys voice? I can't stand it. sounds like he's singing through a Milk web in his throat.
What a waste of a band.

It's a while now since I've bothered to comment on RP. But I just have to say that this is the longest set of out-of-tune "musicians" there is on the RP playlist. Time to give it a loooooooooooooooooooong rest, please.

Well, it's not the worst DMB track I've ever heard, and the instrumental opening is quite nice. I was actaully enthralled enough to tab on over, only to discover I was listening to DMB. "Better wait on getting all excited, " I thought. So it gets a solid 5 for the time being.

Uugggggghhhh. Get rid of Matthews and Kenny G and this would almost be listenable. Or not...

I'm a big fan of DMB's early work....but yeah, this goes on and on and on. If you're in the right mood, that would be great, but I can see how this would get on people's nerves as well. The large cluster of votes around 8 and 1 indicate as much.

'kin 'ell! Is it really 14 minutes long? I thought it was going on for a long time, but that's long. Ah, the blessed relief of the mute button :) |

Well If at all God's gaze upon us falls it's with a mischievous grin, look at him Forget about the reasons and
the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
our emotions can be swept away
Forget about being guilty
we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away ... Eveyday things change
Basically they stay the same ... Oh look at me in my fancy car
and my bank account
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down
into my grave, God knows I'd save and save
Man, take a look again, take a look again
things you have collected, well in the end piles up
to one big nothing, one big nothing at all |

This is solid. I will admit that Dave's voice and ego can get a bit annoying at times, but these guys can really play.
