During the Lillywhite studio sessions prior to the summer tour of 2000, the "John the Revelator" lyrics were removed so the title was shortened to "JTR."

  • FACT: the the name of this song is John the Revelator. It has been played 5 times in the history of the band. Later, John the Revelator evolved into a similar but different song which Dave titled JTR. JTR has been played almost 100 times. maybe more. unless you were at several concert in 1999, I doubt you have heard this song played 3 times.

  • anybody else agree that early JTR rocked way harder than the new version?

  • DMB's Lillywhite Sessions are probably the best work from the band, IMHO. SUCH a great album!! I used to listen to it in college all the time.

  • @hallacek No it's Carlos Santana.

  • @catchacuda99 they can't make an album big enough to fit all the songs!

  • @mshaman86

    Pretty sure it's Warren Haynes.

  • 1This is a revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants the events that must soon take place. He sent an angel to present this revelation to his servant John, 2 who faithfully reported everything he saw. This is his report of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.....?

  • For God Sake: When is this version from? AWESOME!!!!

  • FACT: You can find an actual studio recording of this song (changed up just a little bit) on Carlos Santana's album, 'Supernatural'. It's a little bit different from The Lillywhite Sessions version, but still VERY VERY good. The song is called "Rain Down On Me". It still features Dave singing on it and Carter on the drums. Carlos guests on the electric. In my opinion, I think the version on 'Supernatural' is one of the best I've ever heard.

  • john the revelator is a old ass song. my grand mother used to sing it out loud back in the day. its crazy how tht song got around to all different genres. this version of the song sounds incredible, and is mostly different from the old gospal version but i love it. is tht carlos santana doing leads? sick.

  • I sooooo wish this song was put on an ultimate greatest hits of DMB album..thatd be the best!
