i have seen it posted, but gd knows where, its a bit silly the whole "this is how to do it exact" as its such a loose footed thing anyways.

It is rather funny to try and learn it exactly. It's all about feeling the music and if you want to do it SIMILAR to Dave just watch the live DVD's. It's really not that difficult if you have any sort of rhythm.

On a side note: Anybody ever get caught doin the "Dave Jig" by a friend/family member when you thought you were home alone and jamming out? That's always a face-flusher.

a while back i used to try and mimick (sp?) it all the time.. now i do it without even noticing.. i always get caught at work.. or by friends when ever i here a good song my feet just start doin it :|... its especially weird cause it looks a lot less cool when you dont have a guitar in hand.


but then again.. i cant dance anyways soo its the closest ill ever get?

I remember in '89 - '90 that was the only dance anybody ever did at high-school dances. I thought, and still think it is the stupidest thing ever. Thank you very much Dave for making it popular again.
