I recall when this album was first released. I ordered it on Blu-Ray and created an entire evening to watching the concert. I had to stop after this track, which was the opening song, and just pause and cry. The ambiance, the prayer Dave sings, the passion and emotion... this concert and this song so profoundly speak to the human experience of grief and loss and just desperately wanting a little more connection.
Went to see Dave & Tim in Manchester, UK with a mate around the same time as this gig and it was the most mesmerising concert I’ve ever been to. When we left, neither of us spoke a word until we’d got in the car and had been driving for about 20 minutes, I think we were stunned. Finally, I asked him, ‘so what did you think?’. There was a long pause and then we both said simultaneously ‘it transcended music’. Unreal performer with exceptional songs and perfectly unique.
Andre, your reaction is so valid. This song is one of my favorites by DMB. When I have others that don't understand why I love DMB so much, I play this. This song always, ALWAYS! moves me in a way that I cannot explain or comprehend, and honestly, I don't want to, I just know when I hear it and it touches me, I am thankful. You either are moved or you or not. You can hear and feel the plea for saving a soul in the lyrics and in how it is sung. Thank you for your genuine reaction to a beautiful song, and as a lover of music of lots of genre's I am thankful that you are experiencing music that brings you joy, sadness, touches your heart, and sparks conversation. Music is a gift, and I am glad that is shared by artists like Dave Matthews.
I used to listen to this live album in my work truck back when I was at my lowest. I worked for a landscaper and just drove his truck around mowing and caring for yards. My life was shambles and I was barely hanging on. This album was my sanctuary, my meaning and my life for at least 6 months over that time. This album truly carried me.
There are very few musicians/lyricists that actually write and further, qualify as "poets". Dave is certainly one of those among a very short list. Then there are very few musicians that can pull us in as if we were being told a story around a campfire deep in the woods. To finish, there are so very few that play to their words with passion that can move mountains. I'm a session/tour musician and I met Dave years ago in the late 90's in New York. Although it was just a brief encounter, I will always cherish that short moment in time moment with such a talented, kind and sincere giant.
I have been a Dave fan for 30 years, since I was 13. This song hits me everytime. I loved seeing your genuine reactions, thanks for sharing. Dave truly is an amazing artist. I just saw him live last Friday and felt so incredibly lucky to be in the same room as him. If you ever get the chance to- please see him live!!
Is it not crazy we have been fans for so long. I can remember 93-94 going to a show in 7th grade and it been a wild ride since. Losing 2 band members, gaining others, the lovely ladies..... AHHHH!
OHHHH MY GOODNESS... i couldnt even wait until the song was over to tell you both HOW FREAKING MUCH I ENJOYED YOUR REACTION.... OMG keep it up YOU TWO ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!
@@danielt396we’re very close in age. Love the song but this performance just hits me in the feels every time. Just so hauntingly beautiful in the beginning with Tim’s playing and then the lyrics and Dave’s vocals just hit so hard.
I was at this show.. keep in mind.. this was the OPENER! I straight SOBBED! If you want to see what the BAND can do check out All Along The Watchtower from Central Park.. it is a cover of an old Bob Dylan song.. it IS a bit long but I promise it is worth it.. I was at that show as well.. it is part of my soul.. 120k people, in the middle of Manhattan on a warm September evening.. it was a religious experience.. I ended up giving my first child the initials DMB - Dave Matthews Band
This whole concert is on Dave Matthew's youtube channel for free. The whole concert is absolutely worth watching. There are a bunch of emotional songs. The one about his sister is one of my favorites, titled "Sister" as well. Oh, December only 6 months away, Dave Matthews does a Christmas song that is amazing as well titles conveniently “The Christmas Song” Something to keep track if you want to do holiday specific stuff then.
All three of my kiddos came into this world with Dave playing. Glad you all like it! My wife and I see DMB every summer somewhere different. I’ve missed a few years since I started in 2001. Msg us when you make it to America for your trip! We live in Maryland just north of Virginia!
This is one of those magic moments that we’re lucky was captured for everyone to experience. I don’t know how anyone can watch or listen to this without being moved to emotion by the genuine beauty and stunning power of this performance. I’m not a religious person, but this has always felt like what an earnest prayer should be.
I've seen the band 150 times give or take over 27 years. Always incredible. Just saw them in Raleigh and we'll see ya'll in Mansfield and Gilford next month.
Found your lovely channel from a DMB page on FB! So happy that y’all found Dave Matthew’s Band. Your reaction to this video is exactly how I felt the first time hearing them live and how I feel every time I see them live. There is just something magical about their music! I have loved this band since 1994. A few more song to search live to listen too are Granny, You Might Die Trying, Lying in the Hands of God & #41. Can’t wait to watch more of your reactions and hope y’all get to see them live in person! 🫶🏼
What a beautiful reaction, I'm so glad you enjoyed Dave Matthews! Please continue to check out more of their music, his music has so much humanity in it. When I listen to DMB it makes me feel connected with every human on the planet.
Been to 50+ shows and every show I'm blown away at the passion and talent with Dave Matthews and with his band(which has the greatest drummer ever...Carter Beaufor)
I was going to request this song!So crazy the whole concert is just so good!Anytime someone vocalizes like that I love because it takes all lyrics out and just leaves you with pure emotion, nothing to interpret just feel.
Yep, you guys are definitely my first choice to react to this amazing soul touching gem. Of course, no disappoints here with your response. Just as i could have imagined it. 😉 Love and blessings to you both. ❤️
Dave Matthews Band is the only artist in my lifetime, until Ren came along, who has spoken to my soul with almost every single piece of music they have ever released. They don’t span across and mix genres nearly as much as Ren, but their sound is a unique mixture of many styles, and Dave’s lyrics, plus the skill and emotion the entire band embodies with their instruments, resonates with me so deeply that back in their heyday, I must have seen them in concert at least a dozen times, and when I was in my late teens/early 20s, I had a nearly life sized poster of him on my wall. 😂 It’s been ages now, but I’m actually planning to take my teenager to see them live either this summer or next summer, as it’s an experience I don’t want her to miss.
Glad you found this. Masterpiece. I'm NOT religious -- but every time I play this, it's a spiritual experience. I shed tears. You concurred. Be well. /M.
Following this band since I was a child and theres always been a bit of mockery towards them. I always wished other people could see what I could see in it and seeing this video make the rounds and seeing the amazing reactions has been so therapeutic for me.
I was actually going to recommend others from this concert. Crush is one that came to mind. Others included Gravedigger, The Maker, don't drink the water, and Stay or Leave.
DMB #27. He has a magically way with words and a message. I've seen him live over 40 times...always a different show...always moved......make the effort to watch this wonderful man.....band live...it will move u...no doubt !
Its amazing how different versions of his songs can hit you so differently. This particular version nearly brings me to tears every time I hear it. Try Lie In Our Graves by Dave Matthews Band featuring Derek Trucks
Wonderful reaction ! My daughter and I were at this show , and to open with this ? We know we were in for an incredible show . We’ve heard this song many times with Tim and Full band and it always gives us the shivers , so powerful . Dig deep into DMB , past the hits and you won’t be disappointed . We’re going to DMB in July , that’s when summer officially starts for us 😊 cheers !
I last saw Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, at the Hammersmith Apollo (I refuse to call it anything else), in London. Great night, got very drunk and stoned.
Exactly it’s out of this would to a conversation at the gates to heaven. The intor bringing you up there and the outro is being granted access to heaven.
Love your reacts! I Love this performance, the entire performance, also check out,If you can find it, the same song from the dvd, Live from Folsom Field in Colorado has a live version of this with the entire Dave Matthews Band, and it happened just as the sun was setting, was magical!
I'm still waiting patiently for you next Tool reaction. But DMB will help the waiting. In DMB as like with Tool you get exceptional musicianship, and something one of a kind that has not been recreated.
I encourage you to go listen to the entire radio city album and react to it. Every single song is a spiritual experience, the whole thing is an artistic masterpiece.
I disagree that it's "sad". This one is truly magical to me. I like the simplicity of just Dave and Tim, two guitars, and Dave's vocals. The focus on Dave's vocals gives this one an almost spiritual feel, I suppose. I don't think you would have seen the emotional reaction from Andrei with that other version, for example.
@@g3synth205 Nah… he still rips the vocals, but we miss out on the euphoric outro with the flute and violins. Also the South African freestyle he does is amazing. To each their own.
Welcome to the entrance to the Dave Matthews rabbit hole, make sure you know what the difference between the red pill and blue pill does before you depart.

so you have to understand the tragedies that his family endured which include the murder of his sister by her husband who then committed s**cide leaving behind 2 kids who were then raised by his other sister... that kind of tragedy and pain makes this kind of music
Nice.. Y'all got to get to Amercia to stay for a few days in Aug/Sept... DMB has a three day show at the same venue over labor day weekend.. EVERY YEAR.. its up in Washington State. and its a magical time.. Camping, (tent, car or RV) and everyone is so chill and exceptional... one of the best experiences of my life.. The venue is called THE GORGE AMPHITHEATER.. have a look at the pics of this place..

I've been in two shows in Brazil. I still can remember every second of each Show. They're different, complex and, just, Amazing.

Seeing Dave perform live is a must before you die.
Will be seeing them for the 10th time in July...can't wait!
@@Ryan-xu9zb Kind of like the current day version of the Grateful Dead.
@@musicairplanes4884 No, Grateful Dead were 1,000,000 times better than DMB.
Have seen them 23 times. This Summer will be 24 and 25.
OHHHH MY GOODNESS... i couldnt even wait until the song was over to tell you both HOW FREAKING MUCH I ENJOYED YOUR REACTION.... OMG keep it up YOU TWO ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep both Ren and Dave have that rare ability to just pull you in and demand your full attention, no matter what they do. Incredible artists.
Ren reminds me of Dave in the fact that he hasn't missed (just like early Dave). Love the fact I found someone who appreciates both artists!
Glad you found this. Masterpiece. I'm NOT religious -- but every time I play this, it's a spiritual experience. I shed tears. You concurred. Be well. /M.
Sooo good ❤
I love Dave Matthews. 😊
You are right, like a prayer or biblical Psalm.

Great Reaction….. love you both …!!!! Keep the reactions coming…. Shine on….!!!!😊
Very much appreciate your raw, and emotional reaction to Dave. Bartender is metaphor for GOD. Thank you both. ✌ PeAcE
Crush from the same concert
I was actually going to recommend others from this concert. Crush is one that came to mind. Others included Gravedigger, The Maker, don't drink the water, and Stay or Leave.
DMB #27. He has a magically way with words and a message. I've seen him live over 40 times...always a different show...always moved......make the effort to watch this wonderful man.....band live...it will move u...no doubt !

Love the reaction. It's a beautiful song
Tribal, spiritual, emotional, forgiveness, absolution
I love seeing you experience Dave for the first time. I react the same way every time to this song! Y’all are a gem ❤
Very impressive duet. I think you guys would love the song Gravedigger. He definitely knows how to play and sing. Great reaction as usual.
Been a while since I’ve said hello, so, hello you two beautiful souls. Love you both 🥰
They could play another ten minutes and I would want more.
Thank you. And please play more. Wish I could help you. But I'm broke.... But it gets so much better from here. Ty again
I know the exact feeling that this man describes.
Been a 15 year Dave fan ever sense!
Every once in awhile...someone like this....
Andrei, u are right his shows are an experience😎
You two are such beautiful people, I hope you're doing well
Beautiful.
Dave Mathews band live at Central Park is killer top to bottom.
ahh very cool ...this is good for the soul.
Just think of the bartender as God. This is truly a beautiful song & you are correct. Metaphorically words.
Beautiful
A broken man seeking salvation and redemption from God (the Bartender).
I last saw Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, at the Hammersmith Apollo (I refuse to call it anything else), in London. Great night, got very drunk and stoned.
Exactly it’s out of this would to a conversation at the gates to heaven. The intor bringing you up there and the outro is being granted access to heaven.
A Christmas song, please listen. You don’t even need to do a reaction. It’s beauty
you are beautiful souls
I've watched you're reaction multiple times. Some of those vocals sound like a Tibetan monk chant.
Love your reacts! I Love this performance, the entire performance, also check out,If you can find it, the same song from the dvd, Live from Folsom Field in Colorado has a live version of this with the entire Dave Matthews Band, and it happened just as the sun was setting, was magical!
I wore out my DVD from Folsom Field. An amazing concert. Love Dave Matthews with just Tim and also with the entire band.
@@nightmaryI wore out Luther College. 👍🏻
Try "Gracs Is Gone" off of "Busted Stuff"
The bartender is God.
I'm still waiting patiently for you next Tool reaction. But DMB will help the waiting. In DMB as like with Tool you get exceptional musicianship, and something one of a kind that has not been recreated.
"Ants Marching" should be next. In case anyone needed more reason to love Dave... him on being charitable:

A sermon in song.
never heard of Dave Mathews? Their huge, have been for 30 years.
❤️❤️❤️
I encourage you to go listen to the entire radio city album and react to it. Every single song is a spiritual experience, the whole thing is an artistic masterpiece.
Sad you didn't do the "Bartender - Live at Red Rocks" performance. The whole band makes this a euphoric experience. PLEASE try that one?

The beginning reminds me of Whale song by, I believe, Edgar Winter.
Does someone know what I mean?
