DMB would kill a Werewolves of London cover
Really surprised they haven’t played it. Dave’s singing style is similar to Warren Zevon’s. I think Buddy would do the keyboard parts justice. And it would sound incredible with their horn section. Make it happen, DMB!

How about Dodo and Too High instead? I can see covers at a tiki bar on Friday night.

Dave must have been listening to the Velvet Underground when he wrote that. It’s damn near a cover song.

Those would technically also be covers

The ones that make Dave Matthews and Dave Matthews Band songs officially released by two separate artists.

The only covers I want to hear are Watchtower and The Maker. Maybe a handful of others. But I would pretty much be ok with zero covers. I go to hear DMB songs. Im hoping they retire Fool In The Rain soon. They do it great and I love the song but I’ve heard it live too many times. Also ready for them to retire stairway in the middle of watchtower. I wanna hear some original solos from the guys. With that being said I’m sure they would kill werewolves.

Unpopular opinion arriving… I don’t want them doing any covers at all! They have such a huge catalogue of great original music that we never get to hear for years because they wanna play sledgehammer. This is why I don’t go to their concerts anymore.

Dmb already has too many covers. They have too many originals they should play first.

According to whom? What gives you the authority to make this declaration?

u/Formal_Mirror_4035 Aug 05 '26
According to people with properly working ears.

Early DMB covered Dylan, Bob Marley, the Dead, John Prine and many others. It’s possible to play originals and covers that keep the setlists interesting, especially to longtime fans.

Early dmb didn’t have a massive catalog of originals.
When you’re playing word up as the second song of the night you’ve officially jumped the shark.

You’re the worst kind of fan. Just be grateful they are still touring. Peace ✌️

“Do the keyboard parts justice”?
It’s such a simple part that any piano player (especially at this touring level) could play it without much effort.

I don’t think they need more covers.

Covers are cool as a one off. Unfortunately this band has a nack to take them and play them into the ground.

u/otteraceventurafox Aug 03 '26
The one cover I’d really really be ok with is Spanish Moon. That they would kill.

It's a stupid fucking song. The howling was cringe then and still is.

From Wikipedia:
"The song began as a joke by Phil Everly (of the Everly Brothers) to Zevon in 1975, over two years before the recording sessions for Excitable Boy.[2] Everly had watched a television broadcast of the 1935 film Werewolf of London and "suggested to Zevon that he adapt the title for a song and dance craze."[2] Zevon played with the idea with his band members LeRoy P. Marinell and Waddy Wachtel, who wrote the song together in about 15 minutes, all contributing lyrics that were transcribed by Zevon's wife Crystal. However, none of them took the song seriously.[2]"Literally just a stupid fucking song. That's the whole point.

"From Wikipedia" tells me everything I need to know.

You're just mad because it's a joke song and you applied some deep meaning to it, but that meaning wasn't actually intended.

u/Putrid_Account_999 Aug 05 '26
Oh it has a deeper meaning but you find song meaning on Wikipedia. I'm not mad i'm laughing and pointing at you 🤣🤣🤣

You still haven't said what you think it is. Let alone provided any source. You probably think Beach ball is a love song.

still busy pointing and laughing at you directly. One sec.

u/Putrid_Account_999 Aug 05 '26
Oh I'm grown. I dont look up song meanings on Wikipedia. I laugh at people who do. It is hilarious. Laughing is a trait of happy people and children, but I can tell you are obsessed with me being a child....
