Who cares about BPM? What good is understanding tempo? Isn't speed Carter Beauford's role? Dave Matthews, "Grey Street" - live, 2004, The Gorge

Grey Street has been recorded several times and been made available to own in a legal manner.



This version comes from a CD bonus that came inside of 'The Gorge' DVD from the Dave Matthews band 2004 Tour.

Their is not much more to the song than the groove, rhythm, timing and speed. Therefore, it makes a good song to compare in many versions.
