I was at this show! You can’t even imagine.. if you want to see what the band can do check out ‘All Along The Watchtower from Central Park.. I was there as well.. it was soul altering.. 120k people, $15 tickets, the middle of New York City.. it’s a core memory.. it’s a bit long but I promise your jaw will be on the floor when it is done.
We all grieve in our own way ... I too have buried myself in dangerous self loathing ... survivor's guilt driven ... down inconsolable paths. I feel how the need to empathize with my lost friend sometimes might look like I'm taking a journey too far, but it's sometimes the only way I know how to feel the goodbye. I exercise the demon grief and in time return to the living under renewed strength. This what this song felt like to me ...
I've seen DMB 7 times and will go and watch them until I die or they quit coming to the Gorge! Truly a different and deep experience each time I've seen them. Watching them on DVD leaves an impression but nothing like experiencing them live. Try it... you will be changed.
If you hear what dave Matthews wailing in live performancer with the whole band member, he nullified the bartender yet he is longing for greatest being to save him. What a amazingly contradicting.
Love it, this concert is available to buy or watch online and you should check out Dave Matthews Band Live at Central Park 2003, it will blow your mind!
With Bartender, I assume it's coming from a place of grief over his father's death - possibly his sister too - as well as drinking too much. The religious element might come from him reflecting on mortality. But he switches "bartender please" with "father please" throughout the song, and those are some pretty strained, emotional highpoints in the song. It always struck me as exorcising feelings of abandonment from his father's death

I look forward to it! Thank you
You hit the nail on the head. He's asking God for a second chance. At the end of the song, he gets his answer and is shown the light.

That is an excellent description

I saw them once at The Gorge and it is one of my favorite memories.

Dave is the musician I like the most. Complete, humble The Band is something else amazing. For me? The best.
Its simple. The beginning is a call to prayer. This song is a prayer to be saved by God before his death. The end is an Angelic response.

That beginning!!
This album is essential...

You were right. The bartender is God
Check out Pig by DMB, you’ll love it
It’s all about time going fast and making the most of it!!
Oh please I’d love it if you listened to “Braver Newer World” by Jimmie Dale Gilmore. It’s so underrated. Listen to the live performance if you can
I will surely add that to my list
@@coachmichael1015 right on! He was one of the characters in the Big Lebowski during the bowling scenes, just found that funny
Dave is actually singing the word Hallelujah at the begininning and the end of the song
No hes not.
