why am I not surprised that when I went looking for a legitimate cover of this beautiful song that Dave would be the one to take it seriously and not as just some throwaway SNL joke. The man has a poets soul
Tim is the shit! I had the EXTREME pleasure of seeing him and TR3 play live in a tiny club, on New Years eve, in LA called The Mint. Best way to ring in the new year!
i had a mini heart attack when this started!!! most amazing night ever, and i was in the pit! i wish i could go back to that moment.... like if this were Inception, right now i would be Mal longing to go back to the perfection of that time and totally miserable that i couldn't! lol ok, that's ridiculous! but great video, thanks for sharing :)
OMG! I love the talent on these guys. They can play anything. I think Tim had this in his repetoire & pulled it out. Those two voices of Dave and Rashawn is so smooth and purposeful like a silent freight train. "Don't fear the Reaper, take my hand, we're gonna fly. Baby, I'm your man". So he's the Death Angel now? Now how many women wouldn't mind going out like that? Dave as the guardian/death Angel to escort us to the 5th dimensions and higher? President, Thanks for posting this.
Wonderfully Brilliant! As always Dave & The Boys Rock!! Especially Dave & Stefan! And I like the back-up singer, i think his voice goes well w/the song. :) THX for posting!
Not anymore for DMB! I am 49 years old and ended up front-row-center for 2 of the 3 nights! Best experience ever...so good that I may never go back (after having seen 7 Gorge Amphitheater Concerts with DMB) because I'm pretty certain that I wouldn't make it to the same area ever again...and will be disappointed!
Yep, the whole weekend was general admission. We got great spots all three night, but we also was at the gate at 9:30am and they didn't open till 1:30pm...well worth the wait sitting in the sun all day.
Yes, because the Caravan tour was GA tickets only. So 26,000 people showed up with the expectation of being on the rail for a DMB show. It was probably the most dangerous show I've ever been at. The whole night had a Lord of the Flies vibe to it. I actually left the pit 2/3 way through their set and watched the rest from the lawn.
Actually he was singing in perfect pitch (and lead sing as well). Reproducing the original pitch is nearly impossible, even BoC failed ; watch their live 2012 video... so stop hating, this is undoubtedly the best cover of this song ever made..
Don’t think Carter has a cowbell on his kit plus it would need to be in the Aux so it would fall under Rashawn I think in this case and don’t see him with one lol.
@dmb41, I can imagine! I was 3rd at the gate when it opened and ran my 35yr old ass as fast as I could but was gassed at the lawn and the pit was still a good run away! Glowsticks was cool to see but throwing them at the band is total disrespect! Ditto on douchbags!
Dmb has a lot of different songs, Dave sometimes messes lyrics to songs he wrote. It happens, if you have something bad to say about this, your not a true fan.
![Watchtower - 6/22/12 - DMB with Gary Clark Jr, - [Multicam/TaperAudio] - Deer Creek - Night 1](/img/n.gif)
Love how the crowd loses its mind when they hear what song it is!
One of the greatest songs ever covered by one of the greatest bands ever. Blue Öyster smiling.

Are you saying you didn’t need any more cowbell in this version?….
A really beautiful remake of a classic. Dave's voice is so good for what the song is about. He sounds like he's crying.
I was in the front row for this concert...
Valerie Boggs I envy you something you’ll never forget 🤘🇦🇺
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattt????!!!! Fricking AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a lifelong B.O.C. fan ... I can't think of a better band to do an awesome version of this song!
This cover tops : czcams.com/video/3_qE6RrkgJA/video.html
I gotta be honest the vocals weren't great... Just my opinion.
Tim makes every guitar riff and solo look effortless! Purely amazing
He's actually got a really great voice for this song
Nice cover. I've seen Blue Oyster Cult live and their version is insane live with the lead guitar. DMB does it justice here.
You’re lucky. What a show. czcams.com/video/RjMEzBMiTJ4/video.html
Wish I saw them.
Holy balls!!! I just discovered a new love inside!!! DMB & Blue Oyster Cult....I can die happy now!!
Tim is the shit! I had the EXTREME pleasure of seeing him and TR3 play live in a tiny club, on New Years eve, in LA called The Mint. Best way to ring in the new year!
The 90s wouldn't be the same without Dave Matthew's far as I'm concerned. That sound brings many memories front and center.
Mystery Man mii jomjyyne
I was there!!! So friggin awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i had a mini heart attack when this started!!! most amazing night ever, and i was in the pit! i wish i could go back to that moment.... like if this were Inception, right now i would be Mal longing to go back to the perfection of that time and totally miserable that i couldn't! lol ok, that's ridiculous! but great video, thanks for sharing :)
He makes me Smile BIG ! I love his moves and the band ! Spinnin me : ) ~~~~~
Tim kicks some serious ass!
that crowd reaction was awesome
Great version of that song
OMFG!!' Lost for words!! Brilliant
Just found this, I think they did a good job, love the song, and Dave did it justice, Well done DMB
i'm doin a little DMB marathon and this one reminds me to finish my usual yearly viewing of The Stand movie that we started on Thanksgiving ✌

Wow what a treat !!! Thanks so much for uploading this ❤
Nailed it! Brilliant

Greatest band, greatest lead man, greatest cover............EVER!!!!!! I shall never fear the reaper when Dave is my musical savior. ;)
Absolutely the ULTIMATE jam band!
That bass player suggested they play this one, and Dave was clearly on board, lol.
we need more COWBELL!!!!
Mark Lindemann LOL
Yes we do!
I got a fever!!!
love DMB,,great cover !
jeeezus. I don't even know how the hell I hadn't seen this until now.
Well Played by a great band.
Awesome BOC cover from DMB!!!
The guitar player did a good job with buck dharma’s middle eastern flavored solo! Fantastik!
Excellent !
Great job on the epic!
Just great!!
Awesome song
Awesome cover
This is soo awesome... Greatest living band, hands down
Cmon Carter.. that massive kit and no cowbell??
Yep, the whole weekend was general admission. We got great spots all three night, but we also was at the gate at 9:30am and they didn't open till 1:30pm...well worth the wait sitting in the sun all day.
The only decent cover of this song on CZcams !
This is the perfect example as to why Carter is a Master. He plays for the music and nothing else.
Yes, because the Caravan tour was GA tickets only. So 26,000 people showed up with the expectation of being on the rail for a DMB show. It was probably the most dangerous show I've ever been at. The whole night had a Lord of the Flies vibe to it. I actually left the pit 2/3 way through their set and watched the rest from the lawn.
Wow, never heard DMB doing straight ahead rock-and-roll. 4/4
2:47 a la Buck Dharma!
Actually he was singing in perfect pitch (and lead sing as well). Reproducing the original pitch is nearly impossible, even BoC failed ; watch their live 2012 video... so stop hating, this is undoubtedly the best cover of this song ever made..
Backup vocals are clearly not in pitch.
That back up singer is horn player Rashawn Ross
Dave Matthews just got even sexier, and I thought that wasn’t possible.
This cover was amazing! I was nailed by glowsticks most of the night because we was at the bottom of the lawn but well worth it.
I really like Daves voice for this song... just needed a bit more from the back-up vocals in the 'echoes' - too weak.
I got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell.
it good
It’s not Buck and Eric but it will do!
I had an idea that instead of glowsticks at the gorge, they just make our three day wristband pass GLOW~!!!!
Wow
Where's the cowbell?
djmcnerney I got a FEVUH...and the only prescription...is a little more cowbell.
Don’t think Carter has a cowbell on his kit plus it would need to be in the Aux so it would fall under Rashawn I think in this case and don’t see him with one lol.
Carter doesn't need such thing
DMB Caravan was all general admission. I was there the whole amphitheater was first come first serve
Am I the only one who thought Carter should have used more cowbell?
where's the cowbell? It needs more cowbell. I have a fever and the only prescription there is, is more COWBELL! I want more COWBELL!
YOU GOT TO BE FUCKIN KIDDING ME...
My favourite band does the song with my favourite riff :OOOOOOO
👁👁❤️
The black guy in the black shirt looks like a random fan that got his “make a wish” foundation dream to sing with DMB come true
Exactly what I thought
Yinz are idiots. He works for the NAACP. Keep it cool you jags! 🤷🏻♀️😊
@devgolfs341
Hold up.... the floor was open to anyone that was fast enough to get there? wasnt the floor for floor ticket holders?
Song brings a pop don't it? And it should.
I expect more cowbell
❤️💕💋💞💞😘
Carter Ramone on the drums 😆🤣
Can you buy this song anywhere???
You can just direct rip to cd using a program for free.
Not enough cowbell
I NEED MORE COWBELL!!!!!!!!!
@dmb41, I can imagine! I was 3rd at the gate when it opened and ran my 35yr old ass as fast as I could but was gassed at the lawn and the pit was still a good run away! Glowsticks was cool to see but throwing them at the band is total disrespect! Ditto on douchbags!
More cowbell
Carter rips the eff out of this! typical carter
Better than the original.
Bruce Dickenson, yes, THE Burce Dickenson!!
They only remarked the song
I'm a fan of learning the lyrics to a song if you're going to play in front of thousands of people, but, you know......that's just me.
kaothol "Seasons dont fear the reaper...rulumnda wind or rain" Haha...
Dmb has a lot of different songs, Dave sometimes messes lyrics to songs he wrote. It happens, if you have something bad to say about this, your not a true fan.
Dave don't remember his own lyrics at times...#dMbfamily
wow more street cred for DMB
@PRESIDENT42069 all of the caravans. the whole thing was GA
Dmb is awesome with cover songs, they always get the sound just right. Maybe they should be a cover band. lol jk.
"We need more cowbell!"
The Black guy sounds a little bit like Mike Tyson
Marry Me Dave.
more cb
It would have been better if Dave had used an electronically enhanced cowbell for maximum audio effect
Bruce Dickinson himself couldn't have produced a better version (yes, THE Bruce Dickinson).
HEY CARTER BEAUFORD! more Cow Bell... im telling you, you're going to want that COWBELL!!!!
jkparty
You would have thought they could have at least got the lyrics right..
It's good but where's the cowbell?
you know,that almost hurts my feelings.. oh well! your missing out on good music! i hope you were joking!!! these guys rock!!
awesome... but wheres the cowbell
ahhahah :D
Rashawn Ross has lost a ton of weight.
Nice try Dave but that doesn't cut it. Hail BOC😋
what ! no cowbell
Such a great song! I think DMB does it better then Blue Oyster Cult. Fills my soul.
You have no idea what your talking about. Really.
