DAVE SPEAK

 

Come and relax now,
Put your troubles down...
No need to bear the weight of your worries here,
Let them all fall away...

HERE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE DAVE QUOTES:

12/03/96, Champaign --(Before Christmas Song) "This is a seasonal tune. It's not necessarily religious, it's more just about someone I admire.

12/05/96 -(before Christmas Song)"This is a seasonal song. It's not about Santa Claus, but about the other guy. It's not about Santa Claus, but about the other guy that we think of during Christmas. I don't consider myself a religious man, but I really like this guy...."

??/??/93 - "This goes out to all of you who see the image and to those who seek to see the image."

??/??/?? - *Boyd: "Cause if it weren't for Dave we'd all be working at McDonalds saying,"Can I take your order please?" *Dave: "I'd be managing fries."

??/??/92 -*Boyd(in a nerdy voice: "Before I met Dave, I was shy, introverted person with no friends, and now I'm a rock star in Charlottesville. Thank you Dave, thank you Dave, thank you Dave." *Dave: "It only makes me happy that I could be of assistance."
 

12/12/93 - (After Dave sips on his tea and almost chokes.)"Whoa, hahaha, boy I didn't expect that at all. You ever notice tea was, ever notice, tea with lemon and honey and everything and they got a big fat chunk of something. Might have been lemon, might have been honey. But I doubt it. 1994(several shows) - There is a story about the roadie who was just puzzled because everyone brought cheese for Dave and tried to give it to the roadie to give to Dave."what is it with you guys and cheese??"

7/30/94 -"Remember that there are hundreds of thousands of things you can eat that are not cheese."

10/21/96, Madison, WI - "Some funny looking hats they got in town. I gotta get me one of those funny looking cheese hats. How do you style that thing? Do you put the cheese backwards or do you wear it forward?... you can wear it any way you want. Some of you tough guys can where it sideways. Yeah I'll wear one of those hats..I'm bad."

08/01/94, - Ziggy's, Winston-Salem, NC-"I just lay down for a second a couple minutes ago and then I got all grrrogggy. So I'm gonna take a little time to wake up cuz it's all grrrrogggy... (Random bass and sax from Stefan and Roi)...I got a little sister named Jane and this is The Song That Jane Likes." - "Are any uh ya all goin' to the HORDE shows, the HORDE tour, or is it done for most of you? Is it over for most of you? Well we're gonna be on it from the 15th on so maybe if you're around you could come see us a little bit, but come early, 'cause we're gonna be the coffee show, we're gonna be the after lunch show so be sure you get there bright and early, 'cause (weird, low accent) We ain't no Allman Brothers, we ain't no Blues Traveler, we ain't no BigHead Todd, we the little ole Dave Matthews Band...Ha."
