    I'm not generally a Dave Matthews Band fan, but I thought this was an absolutely fantastic and mesmerizing Tiny Desk set. He fully embraced the pared-down approach and it worked beautifully well with his music, IMO. His banter between the songs was also pretty damn funny as well.

    Tiny Desks are always so good. I swear it doesn't matter who it is.

      IKR? Even T-pain’s was great and showed how truly talented he really is. It’s a shame he doesn’t do more r&b music in a similar minimalist format rather than the mainstream, overproduced, autotune-laden stuff he normally puts out. But you can’t really blame him or any other artists that do that either... hate the game not the player. ;)

    Late night, some hours before I head off to Portugal this came up on my Youtube homepage, I was busy infusing some coconut oil with decarboxoladated cannibis and i figured I'd just play it. I have never listened to Dave Matthews, in fact it was one of those bands that i just assumed sucked. I grew up punkrock. But, hey, I'm an adult now and I'm actually more curious so i thought id give it a chance. The first song played in the back ground while i was at work straining the weed and i thought, oh, its not as a bad as i thought it would be, i sort of even thought his voice was kind of unique. then the mid song banter began and i realized i had it on 1.5 speed. and i thought, hey, did i just hear that at 1.5 speed? let me go back 30sec to hear the actual recording. Hmmm, not what i imagined. Next song began and i couldn't even stand it in the back ground and quickly clicked on Anderson Paak at the Tiny Desk Concerts, a fav of mine. I even realized that this recording is so good i decided to download the video using VLC. Thanks Dave for getting me to rip a great concert off of youtube! [7]

      I'm sad to hear you didn't like this Tiny Desk... but at least you found a silver lining. And yeah, Anderson Paak's is one of my all time favorite Tiny Desk concerts. The man is just so damn soulful and funky. Malibu and Yes Lawd! are fantastic albums.

      Link to Paak's Tiny Desk concert for the lazy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ferZnZ0_rSM
      Paak's rapping isn't bad either: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt53HUX80Oc

        Oh hell yeah! I'm a huge Paak fan. He's such a great and humble artist.
