I used to watch this video everyday for like 3 or 4 years, that was like 10 years ago....Today, I just remembered about the clip and watched it for the first time in 10 years and it brought me to tears.....what a song, his voice, the guitars playing....it just made me realize how fast time goes by, remembered things I regret not doing and things I super regret doing haha, so many things have happened in 10 years and history is all they are....now we just get to move on and live one day at the time! If anyone is reading my comment today, be blessed!
I’m going out on a limb to say this is Dave’s all time best performed song. This is everything that a fan could ask for. The power, the chills, the raw emotion. Wow.
If there is one thing that sucks about being addicted to this man and his band, it's watching one youtube video at 2:00am when your alarm is set for 6:00am..It's impossible to stop clicking next.
I had this “epiphany” years ago that Dave has come to the realization that he’s just a vessel for the sounds that he’s producing. Almost as if he’s overcome by the spirit of sound... he’s trapped in it, but comfortably observing. It’s like you can see it in his eyes.
I feel like around 7:45, when he at starts to open his eyes he feels this way! He’s kinda like “Wow, this is awesome. I can’t believe what’s coming out of me right now.”
Monster touring bands rarely win bullshit grammy's. I'm sure Dave knows very well how accomplished and loved. Grammy's are cor those who need the recognition they don't feel. Dave and Tim know they are kings. Nothing like Dave at the gorge or red rocks.
He deserves more than s Grammy for this DVD.... I personally think it’s the greatest acoustic performance ever filmed!!... Everyone I show it too falls in love with it... Even if they aren’t a Dave Matthews fan
If you think this cause goosedumps, this is nothing compared to a good blu-ray outfit. Sony, 6 years ago especially made this to show off the better atmospheric sound here of blu-ray if it is implemented right..
dippydoo dangle I agree. And he made it the way REAL bands make it. Play as much as you can and get your fans BEFORE you go to a record label. And let fans record. I was almost thrown out of a show front row for recording and DAVE saw the security guard escorting me out and ran to the sound guy and started pointing at me yelling "STOP STOP" and was fucking PISSED And it was AWESOME!!!
The playing and singing from 0:50 to 3:29, I could listen to that for hours. Nonstop, literally hours. This free-form, flowing, floating radiance of sound and impression, like a joik, it resonates with me on a deep level.
Dave Mathews- Bartender My interpretation is a man at the end of his rope. Suffering from pain and addiction, and is now facing his decisions he made in his life that he has been running from. An overwhelming point in his life, where the pot is broiling, and everything is coming to the surface. He is now asking for forgiveness, guidance, and closure. His whole life he has been tempted and succumbed to mortal pleasures, but his soul has never been truly fulfilled. Now, at this point in his life, he recognizes what is truly important, and now has to right all his wrongs. It's a beautiful song.
I used to be a singer. Long ago. Scarring and nodules and not taking care of my vocal cords made me lose alot of my abilities. But, even at my peak. Never could I even cover something as magical as this. So many people have ''the voice''. But the honesty to bare, and perform like this. Is what makes the difference between a good voice, and a performer. This is Magic.
I discovered this DVD when I worked at Future Shop... I was 17 and this was the first blue ray I ever saw on a 60 inch tv in the media room.... I literally sat there on my lunch on the demo couch and watched this religiously..... It still is one of my favourite dvds ever!!.... I’ll add that I was/still am a metal head!
I'm a metal head too, but I am also a Dave fan. They are so musically talented, yoid be missing out if you dosnt like them for whatever reason.... Bc they arent metal. It's all about the art and music. Absolutely mind blowing.
I am also a metel head.... But even more so I am a huge fan of music, and this and all of Dave&Co. is some of the greatest music there has ever been heard and felt!
I envy the fuck out of you but I’m also pretty sad for you as well. Too many reasons to list. Listen to Central Park and Live at Luther if you haven’t. Quintessential shit.
2 Guys - 2 Guitars -1 Microphone! Amazing! This song touches my soul like no other! The last 1:00 or so is the best piece of music I’ve heard period! I hope this song touches the deepest part your soul as it did for me! I just left the cemetery… I wanted my Mom to hear this song! I hope she heard it!!
Ive listened to this song hundreds of times and this ending makes me get the chills and the tears flow uncontrollable....this and the ending to Field of Dreams makes me tear up always!!!
This never gets old. Dave and Tim are nothing short of incredible performers. The feeling here is phenomenal, I just wonder how awesome it would've been to actually be there....
I rented out a movie theatre with a few friends. One of the best decision I've ever made. Second to going to the show itself ; ) not trying to brag though!
I have this concert on blu ray as well! With the wrong region code though, so I cannot play it on my blu ray player. Didn't really think of that while ordering it from the US...
Never thought about getting the disc versions. I buy blutooth speakers and watch on youtube. Even though i buy the best, most expensive speakers, i dont think they would compare to a home system. 👍
This is by far my favorite live recording ever produced. This entire album is just amazing. It's difficult to get through Bartender without being emotionally overwhelmed.
I used to listen to Dave Matthews and Dave Matthews band a TON and for some reason I stopped. I just heard the new album mostly on XM Radio and purchased it and dusted off many of my old albums and very few bands give me a sense of peace as do his bands. Some Devil is so criminally underrated in my opinion and few FEW artists crush it as much as he does Live.
If I go Before I'm old Oh, brother of mine Please don't forget me if I go Bartender, please Fill my glass for me With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free After three days in the ground Oh, and if I die Before my time Oh, sweet sister of mine Please don't regret me if I die Bartender, please Fill my glass for me With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free After three days in the ground Bartender, please Fill my glass for me With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free After three days in the ground I'm on bended knees, I pray Bartender, please When I was young, I didn't think about it Now I can't get it out of my mind I'm on bended knees Father, please Oh, and if all this gold Should steal my soul away Oh, dear mother of mine Please redirect me if this gold Bartender, you see The wine that's drinking me Came from the vine that strung Judas from the Devil's tree His roots deep, deep in the ground Bartender, you see The wine that's drinking me Came from the vine that strung Judas from the Devil's tree Its roots deep, deep in the ground Ground I'm on bended knees Oh, Bartender, please I'm on bended knees Father, please When I was young, I didn't think about it Now I just want to run and hide I'm on bended knees Oh, Bartender, please Bartender, please
He has so many good songs, but this is his masterpiece imo. Haunting, beautiful, and much more. The guy accompanying on guitar is adding so much atmosphere to the song...gives me chills, all of it. At the beginning, his notes always remind me of bagpipes at a funeral...that may sound dumb, but it's how it sounds to me.
I think it's simply because he met Tim Reynolds when he was working as a bartender in Charlottesville. He's also agnostic so I doubt he is referencing God.
I’m not gonna be that asshole that argues. I’m an angry militant atheist. I’ve been writing a story for 20 years that revolves around a fallen angel, the bastard son of christ, & a miracle worker taking on the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse. I’ve read the bible & pull alot of ideas from the book of revelation. I’ve also seen Dave Matthews Band/ Dave & Tim live 15 times over a 10 year period. I listened to nothing else for almost 4 & 1/2 years solid. You can write about religion & not believe. Dave is deep. This song is absolutely about god.
I always found this song to be deeply moving but now after knowing they played it right after Leroi died it's just on a whole new emotional level. Great song. Great man. Great band. End of story.
No matter how many times I've watched this over the years, every single time it feels like a deeply spiritual experience. The intro and especially the outro leave me filled with emotion, gasping for breath. Chills
"Bartender you see the wine that's drinking me, Came from the vine that strung Judas from the Devil's tree It's roots deep, deep in the ground." He will go down as one of the best songwriters ever.
Heartfully, beautiful...magic. Dave and Tim be blessed. Their sense, sounds, passion,.skill...speechless ! They explored any space we even coudn't think if it exists. They're such genius from the opening until the song fades !
Already got it to be played at my funeral! Then Taps ! I'm a VETERAN this song saved my soul during long nights overseas!! Winston Salem NC Ziggy's Dave if u read these 90
It takes one deep soul Dave to be a poet like you and the deep experience you have had to play like you play and sing the way you do. There is only one Dave Matthews,
This song... i dont know how he does it...... that intro.... just. wow. Incredible.... his music is so amazing. It gives me somewhere to go... when things are bad... drift away to the great music of dave matthews.
Like the score to an epiphany or great spiritual experience of some sort. Tim & Dave are absolute masters of their craft. This performance defines what it means to get blown away. Wow!
My all time favorite d m b song and together with Tim playing it’s beyond amazing .Something happens when they are together that is almost magical and if you’re lucky enough to be there you’ll know what I mean and you guys have seen him /them way more times than I have
Having never heard of DM till a clip of the riff for bartender came up on my guitar app about 10 minutes ago, I’m glad this is the first thing I stumbled across when looking the song up
Those passionate “I’m on bended knees”, surely nobody is that talented. I still can’t understand how he does it. I speak the lyrics and I get a sore throat. Madness.
if you like this, You truly owe it to yourself to own the entire dvd...it Never gets old, never fails to impress....his comments and stories between songs makes it all the more incredible!
This recording has been a crutch for me emotionally. It came out at a very important time for me and my family. Our kids were young and our whole family was playful and just having a ball in life. In 2011, we lost our oldest child Jacob in a vehicle crash. We as a family bonded even stronger and this was our anthem as we carry forward. "Sister" was played at his funeral in reference to Jordan, our oldest daughter and Jacobs best friend. We have laughed and cried many times with Dave and Tim's wonderful performance and to me, greatest live performance ever. It has meant a lot to me and my family
I turned 53 yesterday and have not been well physically especially mentally past few years and this song and the music of Dave's wailing for his soul and Tim's lonely whale like slide accents touched my soul as I watched the sunrise for the 1st time in a very long time and my soul feels a bit renewed!✌️💛🤘 Blessed be any lost lonely soul riding dark roads for there may be light ahead.
Every single person in that crowd were so lucky to witness the brilliance of these two, thank goodness for you tube, but still feel I missed out, amazing concert
If you have the Bose Quietcomfort 15 headphones, smoke a joint and put this song on with the volume up, and I swear it's like a drug of it's own. The first time I heard this, my hands went completely numb and I could barely stand. Dave...you are the man.
2007, DMB fan for many years. I just graduated from vet school, TAMU. I worked my ass off for so many years, neglecting myself. No longer. The first show in a long, long time was the Gorge 2 years ago. Next up WPB FL, 2 nights with my BF from high school. People, don't neglect yourself from living your best life.
I used to watch this video everyday for like 3 or 4 years, that was like 10 years ago....Today, I just remembered about the clip and watched it for the first time in 10 years and it brought me to tears.....what a song, his voice, the guitars playing....it just made me realize how fast time goes by, remembered things I regret not doing and things I super regret doing haha, so many things have happened in 10 years and history is all they are....now we just get to move on and live one day at the time! If anyone is reading my comment today, be blessed!
That was beautiful.. blessings to you too❤
Nostalgia is a tricky btch. I try to remember that today is tomorrows yesterday that I will eventually long for.
I am thanks to wonderful souls such as you✌️😎👍
Bless you too ❤😊
Love you ❤❤❤
I’m going out on a limb to say this is Dave’s all time best performed song. This is everything that a fan could ask for. The power, the chills, the raw emotion. Wow.
Close! I would say "Warehouse" at the Central Park concert. Halfway through, you can tell he thinks its something special.
It is everything
I’m not sure the best but easily top 5. So amazing
It’s up there
I'm not a DM fan. I share this video with friends and family. Excellence is excellence.
If there is one thing that sucks about being addicted to this man and his band, it's watching one youtube video at 2:00am when your alarm is set for 6:00am..It's impossible to stop clicking next.
Now, I'm doing well
It's currently 2:23 am, alarm set for...your post spoke to me.
this aged so damn well brother!
😍💁🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Ive seen DMB live 40+ times. Whoever the sound engineer was for this show deserves a pay raise. Dave sounds God Level good on this song.
Not to mention Tim's guitar sound.
Yes a majorly over looked part of any performance. The sound engineer/s has/have done an incredible job here. Hats off to them
the last 45 seconds of this song is what I want to hear on my way up the pearly gates or wherever my journey takes me
I have 2 songs that must be played at my funeral...this is one of them.
My thoughts and prayers exactly ✌️😎👍
If this is not the most powerful live performance it is most defiantly in the top 5.
I had this “epiphany” years ago that Dave has come to the realization that he’s just a vessel for the sounds that he’s producing. Almost as if he’s overcome by the spirit of sound... he’s trapped in it, but comfortably observing. It’s like you can see it in his eyes.
I'm not religious, but I believe it is the pure expression of his soul speaking out :D
Sounds like an epiphany one would have while tripping acid lol I liked this a lot!
I feel like around 7:45, when he at starts to open his eyes he feels this way!
He’s kinda like “Wow, this is awesome. I can’t believe what’s coming out of me right now.”
Same with all the greats. They get it at some point and some can’t handle it and don’t stick around long.
What an amazing way to describe not only this song but everything him and the band do on and off strange with music
Dave should've got a Grammy for this
Right? Easily at the top of his shows for me. Pure.
Tony Show
Monster touring bands rarely win bullshit grammy's. I'm sure Dave knows very well how accomplished and loved. Grammy's are cor those who need the recognition they don't feel. Dave and Tim know they are kings. Nothing like Dave at the gorge or red rocks.
He deserves more than s Grammy for this DVD.... I personally think it’s the greatest acoustic performance ever filmed!!... Everyone I show it too falls in love with it... Even if they aren’t a Dave Matthews fan
How can a performance from 15 years ago still be out here to view, and better than most performers today?
Does this song give anyone else goosebumps? Brilliant performance.
If you think this cause goosedumps, this is nothing compared to a good blu-ray outfit. Sony, 6 years ago especially made this to show off the better atmospheric sound here of blu-ray if it is implemented right..
every single time! This is perfect
it gives me chills of overbearing pleasure. hard to explain.
epiphany difference YES YES YESSSS!! And always does.
especially those vocals at the end...everytime
This video captures a prime voice of his time, in his time and place.
Dave Matthews is a national treasure.
dippydoo dangle I agree. And he made it the way REAL bands make it. Play as much as you can and get your fans BEFORE you go to a record label. And let fans record.

He is South African not American
@@DrGiggles840 National treasure in South Africa. Or...international treasure?
@@davidschulz5197 I would say international treasure!
The playing and singing from 0:50 to 3:29, I could listen to that for hours. Nonstop, literally hours. This free-form, flowing, floating radiance of sound and impression, like a joik, it resonates with me on a deep level.
Yes! 🙌
Its like throat singing.... Something otherworldly . I get you brotha ❤️
They should have won a Grammy for live performance of this.
Grammys are worthless these days
Not enough melanin to win Grammy...
You nailed it
Dave Mathews- Bartender
My interpretation is a man at the end of his rope. Suffering from pain and addiction, and is now facing his decisions he made in his life that he has been running from. An overwhelming point in his life, where the pot is broiling, and everything is coming to the surface. He is now asking for forgiveness, guidance, and closure. His whole life he has been tempted and succumbed to mortal pleasures, but his soul has never been truly fulfilled. Now, at this point in his life, he recognizes what is truly important, and now has to right all his wrongs.
It's a beautiful song.
dude there isn’t any scenario where warehouse is a better performance than bartender … bartender is in a league of its own
As someone enduring addiction, this is how I interpreted the lyrics as well. IYKYK. 🫶
I used to be a singer. Long ago. Scarring and nodules and not taking care of my vocal cords made me lose alot of my abilities. But, even at my peak. Never could I even cover something as magical as this. So many people have ''the voice''. But the honesty to bare, and perform like this. Is what makes the difference between a good voice, and a performer. This is Magic.
He loves to produce soul-penetrating music, doesn't he? His performances always hit your soul and beyond. He's THAT good.

One of the most legendary versions of an already legendary Dave song, even 11 years later. Are we old yet?
Best intro and best outro ever.. The song in between is just magically performed.. All in all 10/10.
Someone agrees while heartedly with you. The intro and outro are angelic. His voice there is the stuff of angels
11/10
This never gets old. Dave and Tim are nothing short of incredible performers. The feeling here is phenomenal, I just wonder how awesome it would've been to actually be there....
have this concert on blu ray, one of the greatest experiences with a serious sound system you can have.

I agree. my home theater catches it all and sounds so awesome!!
I rented out a movie theatre with a few friends. One of the best decision I've ever made. Second to going to the show itself ; ) not trying to brag though!
I was 4th row for this... The best dave show I have ever seen...
I have this concert on blu ray as well! With the wrong region code though, so I cannot play it on my blu ray player. Didn't really think of that while ordering it from the US...
Never thought about getting the disc versions. I buy blutooth speakers and watch on youtube. Even though i buy the best, most expensive speakers, i dont think they would compare to a home system. 👍
Somebody I loved and her family showed me this concert on surround sound full blast and it changed my life
This is by far my favorite live recording ever produced. This entire album is just amazing. It's difficult to get through Bartender without being emotionally overwhelmed.
Just discovered this. Epic.
Dave’s voice and music encapsulate an era of my late teens and early twenties. A real formative era.
2:05 When you look at your best friend and you both know you're about to slay everyone's cerebrum...bilaterally..
JAXN and then the two of you do just that!
I used to listen to Dave Matthews and Dave Matthews band a TON and for some reason I stopped. I just heard the new album mostly on XM Radio and purchased it and dusted off many of my old albums and very few bands give me a sense of peace as do his bands. Some Devil is so criminally underrated in my opinion and few FEW artists crush it as much as he does Live.
If I go
Before I'm old
Oh, brother of mine
Please don't forget me if I go
Bartender, please
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
After three days in the ground
Oh, and if I die
Before my time
Oh, sweet sister of mine
Please don't regret me if I die
Bartender, please
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
After three days in the ground
Bartender, please
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
After three days in the ground
I'm on bended knees, I pray
Bartender, please
When I was young, I didn't think about it
Now I can't get it out of my mind
I'm on bended knees
Father, please
Oh, and if all this gold
Should steal my soul away
Oh, dear mother of mine
Please redirect me if this gold
Bartender, you see
The wine that's drinking me
Came from the vine that strung Judas from the Devil's tree
His roots deep, deep in the ground
Bartender, you see
The wine that's drinking me
Came from the vine that strung Judas from the Devil's tree

Now I just want to run and hide
I'm on bended knees
Oh, Bartender, please
Bartender, please
He has so many good songs, but this is his masterpiece imo. Haunting, beautiful, and much more. The guy accompanying on guitar is adding so much atmosphere to the song...gives me chills, all of it. At the beginning, his notes always remind me of bagpipes at a funeral...that may sound dumb, but it's how it sounds to me.
Some of Daves greatest works and versions of songs were with Tim Reynolds.
His chanting at the end... so beautiful!
Man this song rips my soul wide open
I wanted to comment How touched i was after listening to this song… but i couldn’t find the Words… but « rips the soul wide open says it all!
I think about a LOT of things when I listen to this.
It's unbelievable. Can't really describe it.
Great, great song.
I can't seem to listen to this enough, the guitars and his voice melt into something beyond music🤩
The vocals at the end...wow... I never heard Dave’s voice sound so pure...so angelic you might say...🤔
Coincidence????
I've been singing this song in my head for a decade and just discovered that I think "Bartender" is a metaphor for God in this spectacular DM classic.
He even slips in a "Father, please" every now and then
Yes heavy insane clip
Duh....
I think it's simply because he met Tim Reynolds when he was working as a bartender in Charlottesville. He's also agnostic so I doubt he is referencing God.
I’m not gonna be that asshole that argues. I’m an angry militant atheist. I’ve been writing a story for 20 years that revolves around a fallen angel, the bastard son of christ, & a miracle worker taking on the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse. I’ve read the bible & pull alot of ideas from the book of revelation. I’ve also seen Dave Matthews Band/ Dave & Tim live 15 times over a 10 year period. I listened to nothing else for almost 4 & 1/2 years solid. You can write about religion & not believe. Dave is deep. This song is absolutely about god.
One of my guilty pleasures is watching reaction videos. Seeing the younger folks discovering great music moves me.Rogue Royce gets it!
This song is my church!!!!
YES BUT IS IT A CHRISTIAN SONG?
I always found this song to be deeply moving but now after knowing they played it right after Leroi died it's just on a whole new emotional level. Great song. Great man. Great band. End of story.
DMB is one level of special, but Dave and Tim on their own is some next level, magical isht!! :)
No matter how many times I've watched this over the years, every single time it feels like a deeply spiritual experience. The intro and especially the outro leave me filled with emotion, gasping for breath. Chills
Groanings which cannot be uttered
Same. Exactly. The. Same.
"Bartender you see the wine that's drinking me,
Came from the vine that strung Judas from the Devil's tree
It's roots deep, deep in the ground."
He will go down as one of the best songwriters ever.
Heartfully, beautiful...magic. Dave and Tim be blessed. Their sense, sounds, passion,.skill...speechless ! They explored any space we even coudn't think if it exists. They're such genius from the opening until the song fades !
Already got it to be played at my funeral! Then Taps ! I'm a VETERAN this song saved my soul during long nights overseas!! Winston Salem NC Ziggy's Dave if u read these 90
THE MOST beautiful intro ever
This is about the best endorsment for Martin & Co. guitars that they could possibly have wished for.
Dave + Tim = freakin' genius!
It takes one deep soul Dave to be a poet like you and the deep experience you have had to play like you play and sing the way you do. There is only one Dave Matthews,
This song... i dont know how he does it...... that intro.... just. wow. Incredible.... his music is so amazing. It gives me somewhere to go... when things are bad... drift away to the great music of dave matthews.
That rug really ties the room together
Nice marmot

"You said it; never mess with the Jesus...!"
Say what you will about the tenets of national socialism, at least it was an ethos.
Nick Skulstad 😆👍🏼💕
I love you Dave!!! Thanks for a couple decades of fucking awesome music
Dave and Tim are just phenomenal together. Love the story of Bartender!
I agree, the intro to this gives me friggin chills, so sick....I would enjoy this much more if I wasn't at work....
It'll get you through work!
I totally agree. Dave and Tim make the nerves in your body tingle on this cd.
so much talent on one stage. one of the best song writers ever ... accompanied by a guitar savant. incredible.
its dave in the purest form. I have seen d & T two times. it was so sweet. a real treat for real dave fans!
Best Bartender ever!!
Rob Johnson it's great. But check out 03 version with full outro
Like the score to an epiphany or great spiritual experience of some sort. Tim & Dave are absolute masters of their craft. This performance defines what it means to get blown away. Wow!
The greatest musician who has ever lived. I consider myself blessed by sweet baby jesus that I was around while Dave was here.
Dave is one of the greatest musicians ever to walk the earth i love every bit of his music
i go to this concert every single night. never gets old.
Some of the high notes Dave hits at the end are some of the most beautiful high notes I've ever heard
Tim's guitar playing is fascinating.
these two are a force of nature...listening to them is like watching the sun set or hearing far off thunder
This song kicks me in the gut, everytime. I've cried a few times seeing it live. Powerful stuff. entrancing. .... :o)
To be played at my funeral
Took me many years of listen to Dave Mathews to start liking this song but I’ll be damn if it’s not one of my favorites now.
When he belts and goes all out I literally die its just so good
My all time favorite d m b song and together with Tim playing it’s beyond amazing .Something happens when they are together that is almost magical and if you’re lucky enough to be there you’ll know what I mean and you guys have seen him /them way more times than I have
Having never heard of DM till a clip of the riff for bartender came up on my guitar app about 10 minutes ago, I’m glad this is the first thing I stumbled across when looking the song up
2:02-2:07.......Tim looks at Dave, Dave notices then they look at eachother thinking
*Let's kill this*. Awesome random emotion.
Indeed, that has to be one of the best feelings on Earth
I think that was Dave's signal to Tim that he was going to start singing but still that look was so badass.
The best live performer ever. It is always better than a studio album with Dave.... and he makes it look easy.
Still gives me chills....
Tim Reynolds is absolutely money! He brings it on this song.
When Dave and Tim look at each other and smile in the middle...its like they know theyre making magic!!
Some of the most soulful vocals ever.
Those passionate “I’m on bended knees”, surely nobody is that talented. I still can’t understand how he does it. I speak the lyrics and I get a sore throat. Madness.
No one can capture real human emotions better than this dude.
The beginning before the words is absolutly majestic. I can listen to it all over and over again. I fall into a trance and a relaxed state. So good!

John Thor Live at Radio City Music Hall
This recording has been a crutch for me emotionally. It came out at a very important time for me and my family. Our kids were young and our whole family was playful and just having a ball in life. In 2011, we lost our oldest child Jacob in a vehicle crash. We as a family bonded even stronger and this was our anthem as we carry forward. "Sister" was played at his funeral in reference to Jordan, our oldest daughter and Jacobs best friend. We have laughed and cried many times with Dave and Tim's wonderful performance and to me, greatest live performance ever. It has meant a lot to me and my family
The concerts have got to be awesome. The live version is tons better than the studio version. Double thumbs up on this.
I got goosebumps 14 times while listening to this song. Dave is the man!
His best and the guitars lift his voice soaring to higher fulfillment. Powerful, uplifting performance .
This is the best song i've ever heard in my life
I am so enamored by this
Rachel Philipp thank you. I've learned a new word :)
I'm by you
If this song doesn't touch your soul, you are dead inside.
One of the best songs I’ve seen live.
I turned 53 yesterday and have not been well physically especially mentally past few years and this song and the music of Dave's wailing for his soul and Tim's lonely whale like slide accents touched my soul as I watched the sunrise for the 1st time in a very long time and my soul feels a bit renewed!✌️💛🤘
Blessed be any lost lonely soul riding dark roads for there may be light ahead.
End of 2022 and it NEVER gets old! You can never recapture the magic that is Dave & Tim…
Every single person in that crowd were so lucky to witness the brilliance of these two, thank goodness for you tube, but still feel I missed out, amazing concert
If you have the Bose Quietcomfort 15 headphones, smoke a joint and put this song on with the volume up, and I swear it's like a drug of it's own. The first time I heard this, my hands went completely numb and I could barely stand. Dave...you are the man.
These are the Dave Matthew's best lyrics ever.
Yes!!! Love bartender.
Reminds me of "Grace is gone at beginning.
2 guys and 2 guitars sell out Radio City, and they would 365 a year...absolutely amazing!
this is a song that when played is passionate, the music grows and is pure, ive listened to it over and over and its still breathtaking
Absolutely hypnotic
2007, DMB fan for many years. I just graduated from vet school, TAMU. I worked my ass off for so many years, neglecting myself. No longer. The first show in a long, long time was the Gorge 2 years ago. Next up WPB FL, 2 nights with my BF from high school. People, don't neglect yourself from living your best life.
End result with soul and 🎸 equals music baybe ;)
Most emotionally powerful outro I've ever experienced. BEAUTIFUL!
