Something like two years I remember hearing this insane version of that classic, and everyone said it was dave matthews. The chords are up his alley, but did he really do it? If it was he played the riffs very very fast which almost made it sound not so familiar but great.

Dave/DMB has never covered this song. John Mayer covers it quite a bit, although it's not much faster than the Police version, so I'm not sure that's the one you're referring to.

Machine Head did a nice cover, though I can't imagine that is a band many people listen around here so I doubt this version is what you are refering to.

I think Incubus have done it too. But I don't see how anyone could mistake DMB with Incubus...

Yea, no I know it wasnt john mayer. its almost too common for him to use that slap technique everywhere( any given thrusday). I thought it was dave because of the picking. that was awhile ago though. I could have easily mistaken his technique for someone elses.

Incubus? No im sure it wasnt them, I never liked that miserable but trying to be very earthly and tan thing.

Yeah its definitely not John Mayer. Every version of his ive heard have always been a little slower than the original.

Some have said that the riff to this song is similar to Satellite.

I think more in terms of the stretches and the staccato notes.

yeah man, you really know your music dont you. the guy in my avatar sure is the epitome of tan isnt he. just admit that you confused dave with mayer.

actually dave has done it. not alone, but in a block tease sortof thing. the D+T 2.7.99 show has PFWYG as the second song in the outro. and after this phenominal version of this song is played, (with a If I Were Crazy intro) they do message in a bottle and Norwegian Wood outros.

hit me up on AIM ill get them to ya, really nice.
