DAVE MATTHEWS!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: IF I'M NOT
MISTAKEN WE HAVEN'T MET BEFORE.
HAVE WE MET BEFORE?
>> WE DID ONCE, BUT I WAS STAR STRUCK AND YOU WERE BUSY.
YOU LOOKED BUSY AT THE TIME.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
>> IT WAS REAL QUICK.
AND THERE WAS A LOT HAPPENING FOR YOU.
I THINK WE WERE IN JERSEY AT A FILM FESTIVAL.
>> Stephen: A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENED FOR ME IN JERSEY.
YEAH IT'S A VERY BUSY-- >> I WAS LIKE --
>> Stephen: BUT I'VE SEEN YOU BEFORE BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TO YOUR
CONCERTS AND THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A DAVE MATTHEWS CONCERT.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) THE ENERGY-- THE ENERGY THAT
YOUR FANS BRING-- I SAW YOU IN NORTH CHARLESTON, NORTH
CHARLESTON COLISEUM, OR WHATEVER IT'S CALLED, NORTH CHARLESTON,
SOUTH CAROLINA, AND I DIDN'T HEAR ALL OF THE WORDS TO YOUR
SONGS BECAUSE THE CROWDS GET SO EXCITED AT YOUR CONCERTS THAT
THEY NEVER SHUT UP.
>> SOMETIMES I THINK-- I THINK SOMETIMES YEAH I DON'T KNOW--
SOMETIMES I GET PARANOID.
I'M REALLY PARANOID ON STAGE AIR, LOT OF TIMES.
I MEAN I SMILE BUT I'M LIKE-- AND MY WHOLE BAND KNOWS IT.
AND I TURN AROUND TO CARTER, AND-- MY DRUMMER.
>> Stephen: IS THAT A SIDE EFFECT.
>> THEYT COULD BE.
SOMETIMES I LOOK AT THE AUDIENCE AND THINK THEY'RE HAVING A GREAT
TIME.
AND THAT'S A GOOD NIGHT.
AND THEN I LOOK AT THEM AND SAY WHY ARE THEY TALKING TO EACH
OTHER?
WHY AREN'T THEY LOOKING AT ME.
>> Stephen: BECAUSE THEY'RE SAYING I'M AT A DAVE MATH USE
CONCERT.
25 YEARS ON THE ROAD.
>> WE'VE GONE FROM WHEN THEY USED TO HOLD LIGHTERS UP, AND
THAT LOOKED LIKE STARS, AND IT WAS PRETTY.
>> Stephen: UH-HUH...
>> AND NOW THEY HOLD CELL PHONE-- CELL PHONES UP, AND IT'S
ALSO PRETTY, BUT IT'S MORE CONSISTENT.
IT'S MORE-- IT'S LIKE DIGITAL STARS.
IT'S NOT QUITE-- IT'S NOT QUITE CANDLE S.
>> Stephen: DOESN'T FLICKER.
>> NOT QUITE CANDLE FLAME.
IT'S STILL LOVELY BECAUSE THEY MOVE AND THAT'S NICE.
BUT I FEEL LIKE-- THAT'S WHY I FIELD OLD-TIMEY BECAUSE I'M FROM
THE DAYS OF FIRE.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: THEY'RE NOT UP
THERE RUBBING TWO STICKS TOGETHER.
>> NO, NO.
>> Stephen: NOW, DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
>> I HAVE THREE KIDS.
I HAVE TWIN GIRLS WHO ARE 15.
AND THEY'RE TALLER THAN MY WIFE.
AND -- >> Stephen: IS SHE A TALL
PERSON?
I DON'T HAVE A SCALE.
>> SHE'S TALL.
BUT YOU KNOW, YOU'RE A PARENT SO YOU KNOW THAT IT'S-- IT'S--
THOSE ARE LIKE LANDMARK MOMENTS.
MY WIFE WOULD SAY, "I DON'T WANT--" I FEEL REALLY WEIRD.
"I DON'T WANT MY KIDS TO BE TALLER THAN ME," AND THEN THEY
ARE.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE A THIRD CHILD, TOO, RIGHT?
>> I HAVE A NINE-YEAR-OLD BOY WHO JUST GOT AN INTERCEPTION IN
FOOTBALL, WHICH WAS THE HIGH POINT OF MY LIFE.
>> Stephen: WOW.
( APPLAUSE ) WAIT UNTIL YOUR DAUGHTERS ARE--
YOUR DAUGHTER DAUGHTERS ARE TALL YOUR WIFE.
WAIT UNTIL YOU LOOK AT YOUR SON AND YOU GO, "I THINK HE COULD
TAKE ME IN A FIGHT."
>> I THINK IT'S COMING SOONER THAN I LIKE.
>> Stephen: "HIS SHOULDERS ARE WIDER THAN MINE, AND HIS WAIST
IS THINNER THAN MINE."
THAT'S NOT A GOOD SIGN.
DO THEY LIKE YOUR MUSIC?
"HEY, MY DAD IS DAVE MATTHEWS."
>> THEY'RE PROUD OF ME.
MY SON-- WE LIVE IN SEATTLE MUCH OF THE TIME-- AND MY SON AND I
WE WERE WANDERING AROUND, AND HE SAID, "DAD, I LIKE YOUR MUSIC.
BUT, YOU KNOW, NIRVANA IS LIKE..." AND YOU'RE LIKE...
( LAUGHTER ) WHICH IS PRETTY GOOD.
I THOUGHT THAT'S PRETTY SOLID.
THAT'S PRETTY SOLID.
IT WASN'T MEAN AND IT'S PRETTY ACCURATE, TOO.
>> Stephen: IT'S KIND OF NICE TO BE RAISED BY THIS PERSON
INSTEAD OF...
>> YEAH, BUT HE DID A GOOD NIRVANA.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE LIKE A KING OF FESTIVALS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE FIRE FESTIVAL A WEEK AND A HALF
ANOTHER THE PEOPLE THAT GOT TRAPPED IN THE DANGER ZONE.
>> I DON'T WANT TO BELITTLE SUFFERING, BUT I DO THINK-- I DO
HOPE THE FYRE FESTIVAL GOES DOWN ALMOST AS FANTASTIC AS WOODSTOCK
BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS THAT HAPPENED.
IT'S TERRIBLE.
I KNOW IT'S TERRIBLE.
>> Stephen: WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT IT TO YOU?
>> JUST LIKE THAT KIND OF DISAPPOINTMENT.
THAT KIND OF SURPRISE.
( LAUGHTER ) IT'S JUST-- THAT'S JUST-- THAT'S
JUST LIKE -- >> Stephen: BECAUSE THE WAY IT
WAS HYPED UP.
>> YOU KNOW LIKE-- IT'S ONE OF-- ONE OF THE BEERS THAT HAS A LOT
OF ADVERTISING MONEY, LIKE A GUY JUST BURSTS THROUGH DOORS AND
EVERY TIME THE DOORS OPEN OR A CURTAIN SWINGS OPEN, THING GET
BETTER.
AND YOU'RE LIKE, "WOW, WOULDN'T THAT BE GREAT IF LIFE WAS LIKE
THAT."
THAT'S NOT WHAT THAT IS.
THE FYRE FESTIVAL IS EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF THAT.
IT'S LIKE "MAN IT'S GOING TO BE..." "IT'S THE WORST!
IT'S THE BEST."
>> Stephen: WELL, YOU'VE GOT A VINEYARD.
YOU'VE GOT A VINEYARD IN VIRGINIA.
>> SCREW TOP.
>> Stephen: SCREW TOP.
ALL THE BEST, ALL THE BEST.
YUP.
( LAUGHTER ) AND IT'S RIGHT DOWN THE STREET
FROM MR. TRUMP'S VINEYARD, RIGHT?
>> YEAH, I CAN SEE-- WELL, THE HOUSE.
>> Stephen: YUP.
>> FROM MY VINEYARD.

>> Stephen: ALL RIGHT.
WELL -- >> CHEERS.
>> Stephen: THAT'S LOVELY.
IT'S GOT-- >> I THINK IT IS LOVELY.
>> Stephen: IT'S GOT A LOVELY NOSE.
>> IT'S NOT EASY TO MAKE WINE IN THE SOUTHEAST, BUT WE DO A
PRETTY GOOD JOB.
>> Stephen: OH, I COULD GET DRUNK ON THAT.
THEY NEEDED THIS AT THE FYRE FESTIVAL.
>> WE WOULD HAVE SUPPLIED IT.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE DOING A SONG.
WHAT IS THE SAME OF THE SONG?
>> IT'S CALLED COP.
>> Stephen: AND WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?
>> IT'S NOT ABOUT A SAMURAI COP.
>> Stephen: WE'LL FIND OUT WITH A PERFORMANCE BY DAVE
MATTHEWS AND TIM REYNOLDS.
