The Central Park Concert

Way back in 2005, I made my very first non-book purchase on Amazon, and little did I know it would become one of my all-time favorites. The Dave Matthews Band Central Park Concert DVD is a gem that has truly stood the test of time, much like Amazon itself.Capturing the band's performance not long after the tragic events of 9/11, this concert stands out as one of the best sets of the decade, if not ever. With the late Leroi Moore on sax, Boyd Tinsley on violin, and Butch Taylor on keys, the band's lineup showcased a musical synergy that has become legendary.And as if the concert itself wasn't already epic enough, special guest Warren Haynes joins DMB for a couple of tracks, including a mind-blowing cover of Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer." Trust me, this performance is nothing short of breathtaking.Over the years, I have revisited this DVD countless times, and it never loses its charm. It's a must-watch for any Dave Matthews Band fan and serves as a poignant reminder of a time when the band's magic was at its peak.In conclusion, the Dave Matthews Band Central Park Concert DVD is an essential addition to any music lover's collection. Its timeless quality, incredible performances, and historical significance make it a treasure that will continue to captivate and inspire for years to come. Don't miss out on this unforgettable experience!

Personally I think this is the best Dave Mathews concert DVD. By far my fsvorite.

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 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.

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!

I wanted a Dave Matthews DVD. It didn't disappoint. I have learned through being a fan that the newer the DVD, the better they get.

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

Super excellent DVD of The Central Park Concert on September 24, 2003 by the Dave Matthews Band! Performing all their greatest songs for a magical night!

As a loyal fan of DMB, I only have to say that you must have this DVD. I think It's one of the best live DMB performance. You don't get tired of watching!
