Nice, but I’d really see that “Sexy MotherF**ker Shakin’ that A**!” (words DMB sang during “Jimi Thing).
That is my dad
THAT is a beautiful man.
Stella your dad is an awesome man!!!
Stella, you have the coolest dad in the world.
daddy when you gonna put me in a song!
Your dad is an awesome talent! I can’t wait until the show airs.
I was there to see this live and have been dying to see it again. Just incredible! Hope PBS will put this concert out on DVD??…….
Dave, you are the best. Is there anything you can’t do.
I have been scouring the net waiting for a high-quality version of this. I knew it was forthecoming from somewhere after seeing clips of it on Charlie Rose, where I could tell it had been professionally shot.
Just absolutely positively fantastic!
Dave is one Bada** MFer…..
Good job dave you can come to my next birthday if you wont.
‘deep in my heart I do believe’ – thanx for all you have inspired in your lifetime mr. seeger. a life well lived indeed. xoxo much love.
I was at the Garden for this concert. Words can’t describe the music and the feeling in the Garden that night. My mother is watching this on another PBS station right now and there is a DVD available. Hopefully we will be able to see it here soon.
Does any one know where i can find an mp3 of this?
i dont believe stella lol
Stella you have a talented dad. But Mr Seeger I thank the Stars we have been blessed with your Presence! My grandparents are near your age too, I try to honor them daily. But I feel an infant at 37 witnessing this performance. Thank You!
Amazing & Delightful – (also brought back memories of a very special night in Cardiff at the Seamen’s Club. Ray, I hope The Force is still with you.)
I like the roughness of his voice. That’s part of what’s cool about him.
Happy 90th Birthday Mr. Seeger!
Dave is simply the BEST!
Simply AMAZING!!! Words can’t even describe…

Grace and Stella, thanks for sharing your wonderful Father for all the world to hear! We are truly blessed with his music! And I hope that he puts you in a song very soon!

Stella, Grace, your Mommy, Aunt Jane, Grandma and Grandpa, Pete Seeger and all others that enabled Dave to be out there doing what he does,THANK YOU! I LOVE TO WATCH YOU SING DAVE!! Seeing how you feel the music, in combination with your voice and your lyrics can put me in a good mood ANY time. I woke up singing your new album for the first 2 and a half weeks, even in the middle of the night and I feel the same way.(lyrics)Thank you!
What an incredible rendition of a classic. I am an old fogey and had never heard of this guy. I will sure as hell find out more and never forget this mind blowing performance. My best to you young man. And thanks Mr.S for all the good years, good songs and good memories.

Does anyone know who wrote the song, Rye Whiskey? It is attributed to Pete Seeger but nowhere can I confirm that. Not that it really matters but I would like to know. I bought the 2-disc DVD of the entire concert soley for Matthews presentation of same. Bless the man.
WOW…Brilliant performance!! 15 years a fan & Dave always delivers his best every single time! Happy to say each of our 4 boys are growing up on the music of DMB! Stella & Grace, your Dad is 1 rockin’ dude!! :o)
Great performance for one great American. I loved it when I got to hear it on tour this year and this is really neat! What a great birthday bash!
Jeff Coffin…my husband’s cousin! A wonderful person and his fiance’ is the greatest!
thank you Pete seeger and thank you Dave Matthews you have both brought happy tears to my eyes through out the years may the four winds blow you both safely home……
Tex Ritter wrote Rye Whiskey
I truly have to say rye whiskey is the best talent sung from Dave…I don’t know what it is,but it gives me goose bumps every time I hear it..Thank you for the past 13 years of wonderful music!!
I’m watching you, Dave, and I’m proud.
GREAT song, by GREAT dude!!!! ill reitterate what Pete Segar said, Dave you can come to my next birthday too!! you are amazing!
Rock on- Heard the news Les Paul passed on today…but rock-n-roll will never die!
Nor will folk songs of the people.
Carrying on the traditions mighty fine.
Dave-I know that you understand injustice. Could you please call and offer your support for Leonard Peltier’s parole, to be decided any day now, if you already haven’t. Thank you Dave, your music kept me going to keep up the “good fight” through some of the toughest times.
Dave, I got to meet you at tampa. sorta star struck great show. BROOKSIDE!!!!!!
I just saw Dave perform “Rye Whiskey” 8/14/09 @ the WPB concert and as always was awesome!
Sorry, it was 8/15/09, not 8/14.
Just saw both shows of DMB in West Palm FL He did this song in the encore. It was an awesome weekend. But if you all think he would let his little girl, Stella, post stuff on the internet, you are nuts. I did see his little boy Auggie dancing off stage. SO Cute. Look forward to this every year, I’m 47 and still a devoted DMB fan.
haha i was at spac for for the sexy mother****er shakin that ass always a great weekend,Dave for president!! lol
Delicious ! Dave’s music is incredible.
