This song is a definite mood lifter for me. Not so much because of the lyrics, but rather because of the emotion/passion with which Dave sings it...most notable as of 4:30 on. Brilliant.
@JORDANSAGESVLOG The only thing that makes me even THINK about hitting the dislike on this, is the fact that it's not in HD. Other than that- this s%*t is pure heaven.
Easily my favorite live Dave Matthews Band performance ever. They started the first show after Leroi Moore's death by dedicating this song to him. Very fitting, considering the song's unbelievable emotional content about considering one's mortality and the everlasting impression one might leave if they were to die prematurely. Beautiful stuff.
we'll see the rain fall...the rain ill wash us outa here..... well ours was secret...was a secret...goldest flower.....river yeaaa.....and then we'll leave go around the world yea....pray yea......will love lead blind ..we'll never leave ...were leaving....lover see dont go...................simply amazeing
I was at this concert, seated at the very back top of the horseshoe. The sound was pristine...unbelievable concert. There was even a slight rain delay, but the double rainbow in the distance behind the stage made up for it.
@JordanSageWrites This was my third time seeing him at age 11!!! Been a DMB fan since i could walk first DMB Concert was when i was 6!! :) Just amazing band and will never be forgotten by those who love them!!
Dave Matthews Band is by far the best band on this Planet!! And in 2008 we lost an amazing winds player LeRoi Moore!! Your amazing licks and music will live on forever!!! Music is Medicine for the Soul....And this is the Medicine i am overdosing on!!
Long Live LeRoi Moore and Forever play on Dave Matthews Band!
This video has 126,520 views and I'd say that I have contributed atleast 100 of these... dont know what it is about this version of this song, but it gives me chills, from 4:12-6:12 is arguably THE best 2 minutes of music possibly ever by Dave... Have seen him live over 30 times and I don't think I've ever seen the same show... They are simply amazing...
@ktbuckner10 It's now got 133,693 and I think I'm responsible for a good half of these. I agree, this version is haunting, even when I'm not playing it on here it keeps playing in my head. Pure brilliance!
@headstock48 bands like DMB and the E-Street Band that perform with Bruce Springstein live for live performances. They all improv off each other and just jam out for 10 min making them infinitely better live than in the studio (not to say they're not good in the studio).
@bassitup40k It'z funny that you compare them to Bruce and the E Street Band becauze I alwayz make that comparison too and I've met otherz who do the same, even though they sound nothing alike. The passion of both artiztz juzt comez through so much more live!

I've listened to this bout 4 times today, and every frikin time, @ 3:50, the hairs from my arms to the back of my neck up to the top of my head stand on end. That is the true effect from an pure artist.
I'm sittig at my buddy's house listening to this while he showers... I've had myself couple beers and this song just seemed perfect. And even though it's been two years I just want to say... R.I.P. LeRoi. Jeff Coffin is one hell of a musician but he will never replace you.
I don't understand how the horn/string section is getting that great, full-sounding octave during the instrumental climax. It looks like Boyd is playing something entirely different from LeRoi. Can anyone explain this to me?
Bartender, please fill my glass deep for me, with the wine you gave Jesus that set him free after three days down.....I'm on bended knees, I pray, bartender please.......I'm on bended knees.......God please: I ask for nothing and pray for all........I LOVE YOU!!!!!!
You know how you hear of the religious people that feel like God is running through the coarse of their veins, feeling as if God is possessing them with euphoria and pure bliss, to the point where their body shakes uncontrollably?
The three people who don't like this song obviously haven't got a decent conception what real music is. This is one of the most powerful songs and performances I have ever seen! Dave Matthews is genius!
Oh my....he kills it again...there is no other artist I can listen to over and over. Something new to hear every time. Some different meaning depending on mood, inflection or circumstance. Sometimes it chills me out, others it makes me dance. Great post!!!
Every single person on the planet should take time out of their day to give this video a play and learn what music is all about. I get chills every time I watch this, which is often. 2 more shows this year at Citi Field this summer. So stoked.
@SQ2SonorSQ2 he says something different in most every version... most of the time he just scats, but several times he has said something, most commonly about God, or something religious based.
Love NOT the world, neither the things of the world, LIEK ROCK N ROLL deomin voodoo beat music! He who loves the world, the love of the Father is NOT in him. REPENT of your idolatry with worldliness an d its music, dress, and perversions.
scp025 and Jalenorigby its called the art of Jamming out. This is the best band on the planet today. Mistake or no its still a great performance and remember its all about the music.
@aamott12 Haven't visited this for a while, aamott.....but I'm not one of those subscribers to "jamming". People can get caught up in that all they want, but Dave Matthews Band is big enough now that they know fans expect a certain amount of "excellence" from them......and so, they don't play anymore to just jam out and feel the vibe from each musician. Sure, Dave rambles along and might make up some new lyrics...but musically, the song is pretty much the same night after night.
@aamott12 And it's no accident or result of a "jam" that the penny whistle is used to play a couple of classic pieces that you may or may not be familiar with during the closing notes. First (and obviously) are notes from the Wizard of Oz "If I Only Had a Brain"......but then there's also "Everything's Alright" from the musical "Godspell". Is that accident or a result of "jamming"? Nope. Research Dave's compassion and confusion with religion....and it becomes quite clear. This is briliant.
Yep...Carter messed up at 1:36. He was getting ready to move on to the chorus....but Dave wasn't. Nice save, though. Nobody would have known had the camera work been different. I believe this was a relatively new song for the band to play live at the time. Love the way the music dies at the end to strains of "If I Only Had a Brain", and also just before that, a rif from the Jesus Christ Superstar tune, "Everything's Alright". Dave's dealing with his beliefs here, as he does so often.
@Jalenorigby nope, it wasn't carter that messed up, it was dave. If you listen to the recording, he was supposed to repeat the pre-chorus line much earlier, but he waited too long on accident, causing the rest of the band to think he wanted to move on to the chorus. you could tell that by the way he looked back he was saying "my bad"...lol
scp025.....listen to other live performances of this song on youtube. Then say "nope". Carter messed up. Nobody else in the band was moving on.....nor did they on numerous other live performances after this particular verse.
Offgo90 - nothing but love my friend! I get so excited everytime I watch this vid.....I love this soooooo much! I am so moved and I feel love coming from Dave..... Peace and love peoples
Every time I watch this and hear Roi on the penny whistle I get teary-eyed. I miss that man so much. The unexplainable way we connect to what this band does on stage is what I value in life more than anything else. DMB4LIFE BTW The best performance of Bartender, hands down!
Not only is this the best version of Bartender, it could be the greatest performance of any song that DMB has ever done. The passion that comes out when Dave sings gives me goosebumps everytime I hear this version at Folsom Field.
I totally agree! Also, the version of "dont drink....", from the central park show is also in the top 5 DMB performances. I have yet to see anyone, ever, with so much passion, stevie ray vaughn, jimi hendrix and dave matthews are the most passionate musicians i have ever had the pleasure of listening to!
Check out the documentary "Before the Music Dies" it has a really high-energy version of this song (Around 50 min. in) Just a clip though. Wish I could find that whole performance...
the best part of this concert is when he does a Widespread Panic "Porch Song" tease before What would you say...gotta love DMB rockin a tease of the best Jam Band in the world...WIDESPREAD PANIC
Me and my ex-bf have a great history with this song...We saw DMB in Dallas this past august, but they didn't play this song. They still put on a kick-ass show, tho!!!! Me and my ex didn't end well and even though this song reminds me of him and how happy we were..I will never stop hearing it bc DMB is utterly amazing! It gives me that bitter sweet feeling. RIP Leroi..you are sorely missed...
...there are guys who hit the pedal that hard all the way; Which seems self defeatest.... if they knew how to dither their work more dynamically they'd be able to wow and ahh crowds like this one... Some of us can scream diads and triads like the monks of old. I've got tons of live recordings to prove it. Freaks people out.. sounds like a chorus of creatures backing you up in two other tones... So eseentially you can use your voice to sing full chords... root third fifth, and other tones simul..

Me and my ex-bf have a great history with this song...We saw DMB in Dallas this past august, but they didn't play this song. They still put on a kick-ass show, tho!!!! Me and my ex didn't end well and even though this song reminds me of him and how happy we were..I will never stop hearing it bc DMB is utterly amazing! It gives me that bitter sweet feeling. RIP Leroi..you are sorely missed...

...there are guys who hit the pedal that hard all the way; Which seems self defeatest.... if they knew how to dither their work more dynamically they'd be able to wow and ahh crowds like this one... Some of us can scream diads and triads like the monks of old. I've got tons of live recordings to prove it. Freaks people out.. sounds like a chorus of creatures backing you up in two other tones... So eseentially you can use your voice to sing full chords... root third fifth, and other tones simul..

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Pearl Jam had one good song: "Wish List"--a really great song. The rest of their stuff is forgettable.
With DMW, it's all forgettable to the max. DMW = ouch. It's an ouch-me-me!

Clearly you don't know shit about good music. Go back to your Good Charlotte records.

Dave Matthews Band is good at what it does. The point is that what it does is grating, "too piercing."
