Oh, and the Flying V kicks ass.

At 6/06/2008 06:50:00 PM, Anonymous said...: Never liked him.Phony fabricated voice.The proof:he doesn't even sound like himself on that one.Too close to the original.Search for the Oasis version on youtube,way more energetic.

by the way, that´s a very, very good version.

cheers, thomas

DMB is popular in the USA like Oasis is a typical UK band. The Oasis version of Hey Hey, My My isn't that bad.

Back on topic...a great version of HHMM, although as mentioned earlier most NY covers are at least ok cos the originals are so strong.
At 6/08/2008 04:03:00 AM, Ben said...: Keller Williams does a great Hey Hey, My My.
At 6/08/2008 01:36:00 PM, Simpson said...: I was planning on seeing DMB on their first night in Pittsburgh but nobody wanted to go with me so unfortunately I didn't get to go.

However, I saw the Pittsburgh set list and it wasn't much of what I had hoped. And I would have been pissed if I saw Dave and they didn't play Hey Hey, My My where I was at...so I'm glad I didn't go...

Dave Matthews Band does great covers of Neil's songs. I love the version of Cortez with Warren Haynes off the Central Park Concert and they do a rockin' version of Hey Hey, My My!

Wrong. Their third album is their best. And as for the bargain bin thing, again wrong. They are continuously one of the biggest selling bands around, you wont find Oasis albums in a bargin bin.

Again, back to the DMB thing, this version is alright but its not a patch on the Oasis cover.

At 6/11/2008 06:05:00 AM, Claudia said...: Dave Matthews Band has long been one of the more entertaining bands of the last decade, the band hit the big time in 1994 with their album "Under the Table and Dreaming." Their second album, "Crash," helped the band achieve its first Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance for their song "So Much to Say." .Before My friend and I used to attend their concerts even their tickets are often sky high; Now we found a site where we can compare tickets prices for FREE in order to save some Dollars!!!

At 6/13/2008 01:49:00 PM, thom said...: why exactly is dave matthews an idiot?
