The Central Park Concert

What can I say that everyone else hasn't already said. Dave is awesome LIVE and this show doesn't disappoint. I remember listening to Dave Matthews bootleg cassette tapes in 1988 in our college dorms, being told, "This guy in Virginia is really good. We gotta go check him out sometime!" Many of his followers have no idea that he's been pumping out great live shows for that long. This Central Park show is a perfect example of what he has to offer - which is pure bliss for a jam band fan. This show has the old saxophone player (who is killer in this show and every other show he ever played) and it also contains the one and only Mr. Warren MothaF*k*ng Haynes!!! The hardest working guitarist in the world today. He really shines on Cortez the Killer, as even Dave is even caught on camera looking back at the drummer, saying, "He's f*king good". I highly recommend this show, as the sound is full and crisp from beginning to end and the video doesn't flip around too much like many other shows.

I never considered myself a big fan of Dave Matthews until I discovered this concert. I got this dvd from Amazon just the other day and already I have found myself replaying parts of the concert, because you just cannot get enough of this amazing performance. This dvd shows how incredibly talented the entire band is, particularly in that they are able to extend almost every song into a jam session that is so amazing no one could possibly find it boring. What strikes me is they seem to never run out material to play, after all the concert was around 3 hours long. Yet I found myself wanting more after the last song had played and the credits rolled. Someone has to be good to have that effect. I'd recommend this to anyone who has a true appreciation for real music, yes I said real music. Go, ahead settle down for the evening and enjoy this one, or split it up into several evenings!

One of the best concert films available. I just wish they would release this one in 4K Plus, I wish they would release the Golden Gate Park show as well.

This concert DVD is one of the things that got me really into Dave. All it took was this and seeing them one time live before I was hooked. I recommend this to anybody who is curious about Dave or just wants to see what it's all about. I usually always give this one to friends for them to see why I'm into DMB so much. There is a great flow of the setlist, and there are enough of the classics to get someone up to speed on what the band is really known for. I think each of the albums released to that point are all equally represented and all are played great. I just can't wait for the day that this concert video, as well as the others, are released on Blu Ray

this one is ok, but in my opinion, the thing at radio city hall was way better, and it may even slightly blow your mind. Good for the ladies i think.

This concert was not only a milestone for DMB but also for this generation of alternative rock. Very few get the honor of playing in the middle of a baseball diamond in the United States' largest and most famous park. Weather you like DMB or not, you will love this concert and very swiftly place it on your proudest shelf of your concert DVD collection. The production, the direction, the sound, and the extras are simply the best i've seen. And to see DMB play a Neil Young cover (Cortez the Killer) with one of the greatest guitarists, and most decorated song writers in the world (Warren Haynes; Allman Brothers Band and Gov't Mule) is a landmark event in rock history that one would be sorry to have missed. Thousands showed up that night, millions get to relive it through this DVD. BUY IT!!! (before it's a rarity!)

I have the Central Park Concert on my iPod but I wanted the DVD for my two year old. :) I can only hear "Wheels on the Bus" so many times. My husband and I are musicians and our son loves playing instruments. He bangs on the drum pads that go with our Wii (they're nice and quiet!). We have "DMB The Videos 1994-2001" but some of the videos are too creepy for a toddler. I chose this DVD because it only shows the band playing and I just skip over scary sounding songs (Don't Drink the Water). My toddler loves to watch Carter Beauford and will try to imitate him. Or he'll pull out his guitar and try to be Dave. This is definitely not a typical toddler purchase, but it's important to us that he gets exposure to GOOD music. If you like the CD set and just want to be able to watch the concert, this CD is perfect.

If you appreciate musicianship and real talent, you will not find a better band anywhere. Each member is exceptionally talented in their own right and together they put on the best concert I've ever seen. Clean professional sound all around and an energy that jumps off the screen. I have a 58" 3D TV and this concert was filmed with stunning quality. I know I was able to appreciate the performance much more than were I crammed with 100,000 people in Central Park. Having said that, it was the combination of DMB and the crowd made this such a very very special event. Two words - BUY IT!!!!

This band puts on an incredible show wherever they play. Central Park seems to bring out the best in whoever plays there. This is a long concert, filled with wonderful fusion music. A+++++

if you are looking for a live concert which has everything look no further the sound is fantastic music unbeatable every band has a high spot a special show and i beleive this will never be bettered dave has never sounded better the version of all along the watchtower must make dylan proud to hear it done like this with an unbeatable stars and stripe bass intro memories of jimi at woodstock what you are simply awesome the guest guitarist warren haynes on cortez the killer a version neil young must love as are timeless classics every muciscan on stage gives 150 per cent i could go on all night just buy this album an absolute must

早く知りたかった。こんなに凄いバンドがいたなんて。ただ、自分が若い頃はきっと聴いても良さが分からなかったかも。大人になって音楽の幅が広がった人にはおすすめしたい。

Gran concierto, suena muy bien.

Il CD è molto bello. Io adoro DMB. Sono felice di aver acquistato questo CD da Amazon
