If I could choose one band

If I could choose one band (realistically, no Beatles or Pink Floyd here) to watch live while I'm up here in the US, it would Dave Matthews Band. Their albums are amazing, but from all I can gather they're even more stunning live. This is Dancing Nancies, from the concert they did in Central Park where he does an amazing intro to the song (the bartender bid). I love it when artists change their songs for live performances in a way that you actually believe it's showing a little bit more about how they're feeling at that specific moment...

By the way, "Dancing Nancies", as I recently learned, is idiom for transvestite prostitutes... Just for that, I think it's worth putting the lyrics here (after the video).





And so We Say,
And so We Say,
And So We Say,
Bartender Please,
I Know It's Late,
I Know Last Call has come and gone,
But Why Don't You Fill Me Up With One More Long, Long Drink,
And Then I Go Home,
C'mon Hook Me Up,
Bartender Hook Me Up,
Lock The Door, start countin the money If You Need To But,
C'mon, C'mon, C'mon, C'mon,
Hook Me Up,
Bartender Please,
Won't You?

I Wasn't Planning On Gettin' Drunk Tonight But,
It Seemed Like The Right Decision Tonight,

She Stood Me Up,
And Now My son,

I Was Wondering If,I Was Wondering If,I Was Wondering If I Might Have Been Somebody Other Than Myself,
If I Could Have Been Somebody Other Than Myself,

A Millionaire up There On fifth Avenue,
Oh Could I Have Been,
Lost Late At Night Somewhere In Central Park,
Could I Have Been,

Well Could I Have Been,
Anyone Other Than Me,
Could I Have Been,
(Oh) Anyone Other Than Me (Oh)
Could I Have Been,
Anyone Other Than Me,

Tounge-gapping Stare,

A Magnet For Money,
Could I Have Been Anyone Other Than Me,

The Images Grow Darker Still,
Could I Have Been Anyone Other Than Me
And Then I,
I Look Up At The Sky,
My Mouth Is Open Wide,

What’s The Use In Hurrying,

Requesting Some Elightment,
Could I Have Been Anyone Other Than Me,

The Thrill Of It All,
Dark Clouds May Hang On Me Sometimes,
But I'll Work It Out,
And Then I,
I Look Up At The Sky,
My Mouth Is Open Wide,
Lick and Taste What’s The Use In Worrying,
What’s The Use In Hurrying,
Turn Turn We Almost Become Dizzy,

Falling Out Of a World Of Lies,
Could I Have Been A Dancing Nancie, (ooh)

And Then I,
Look Up At The Sky,
My Mouth Is Open Wide,
Lick and Taste
What’s The Use In Worrying,
What’s The Use In Hurrying,
Turn Turn We Almost Become Dizzy
