With tears in my eyes I type this…as a Gen X’er I consider DMB the greatest band of my generation. My heart erupts with joy when the younger generations are introduced to Dave’s music. Your reaction was priceless! Blessings be upon you thank you for sharing. 🙏🏻

Seeing people find Dave for the first time just FILLS ME UP!

I've seen this live many times but I still get goosebumps and tears..Dave writes all his songs.

Seen them live three times, front row once. Amazing band with superior talent 100%.

I love seeing peoples reaction to my favorite artist of all time. Thank you! great song to pick from too. God is indeed our bartender.

Great job. Loved to hear your reactions

Dave writes all of the lyrics and most of the music. He always gives 110%, and just dumps his soul in the middle of the stage for us to pick up! Thanks, Sarah for another great reaction!

Heard it many many times before, one of my absolute favorite bands, but this time it made me cry.

Amazing song and you broke it down perfectly. You are beautiful and amazing too 🙏🔥

Only saw DMB live twice but the first time was a month before LeRoi passed away, which I’m so grateful I got to witness the original members play together. I had never listened to DMB before that concert but went with a friend and they instantly became one of my favorite bands.

When watching reactions to certain songs/performances especially this one, it becomes easy to see the person's heart which says so much about them as a whole. You definitely have a kind spirit, compassion for others, and true love/fear of "our" father. God bless.

You might also have a powerful and emotional reaction to hearing the same duo perform "The Maker". It's not an original song, but played with the same level of emotion. In fact, the whole album from Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds Live at Radio City has a very emotional feel to it. Amazing performers together. Dave is equally amazing when performing with the full band, especially their original group when saxophonist LeRoi Moore was still alive.

Always kills me. Thank you. And yes, he is the writer of the song.

An amazing performance, as you know I don't think there is anybody out there today that does it better. I think I'm gonna make my way back over to your Patreon and rewatch your DMB reactions They make me smile😁😁

Great reactions, Dave writes all of his songs. You were spot on with the interpretation of the lyrics. A lot of his songs deal with death as he was exposed to it at a young age, losing his father as a child and his sister very early in his career.

Wow! What an awesome song and performance. Brilliant! Thanks Sarah! 😊

I'm not a real emotional man, but every time I hear this is make me tear up. Very emotional and powerful song.

My entire soul cried with joy when I finally heard this song live SPAC 2022🥹

Wow! is right, there are almost no words to describe the depth and beauty of this song! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing Sarah... a really emotional experience for me listening to the song and your discussion. Peace and love.

Sarah, treat yourself to a listen to a whole live concert of DMB. You will be transported out of body.

His older accoustic show with Tim Reynolds at Red Rocks is legendary 3:59

He writes all his songs. LOVED you're reaction.

This song was written soon after his uncle passed. His father passed when he was young, so his uncle was like a father to him.

Music is supposed to make a tear form in the corner of the eye and a smile in the corner of your mouth.

Thank you for a beautiful reaction!

❤❤❤

Fun fact. Dave was born in South Africa and still to this day spends time there with his family to connect with his roots

The bartender is god and Dave's begging him to save his soul

Beautiful song and reaction❤️

I can tell you felt it great reaction

If my memory serves I think Dave’s sister was murdered by her husband so the reference to his sister in this song and his anguish may be about his devastation after her murder. Dave and his younger sister Jane adopted his late sister’s surviving daughter and son. The song Dreaming Tree was inspired by their love for the book The Giving Tree. I highly recommend you listen to it as well as Grey Street.

Love this song!

Great reaction video to a great artist.

I was at this show.. being there was ridiculous

React to Dave Matthews Band next. Any live song

If you want your mind BLOWN.. check out All Along The Watchtower from Central Park.. it’s a bit long but I promise it’s worth it.. 110k people.. being there was a religious experience

Favorite concert-AMAZING!:) Check it out-trust!

I've watched so many of these react videos to this performance. My suggestion to people if they ever want to give DMB a try (since there's so much mainstream dislike for him for no reason), DMB-Listener Supported then Dave and Tim @ Radio City. Once you work through those 2 albums, I just don't think there's anyway you can walk away not in love with what they're doing on stage.

Dave Matthews is from Africa

The bartender is God. And yes he wrote the song

Dave is great

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 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 outof my mind I'm on bended knees, father please Oh 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 stung Judas From the devil's tree It's roots deep, deep in the 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 wanna run andhide I'm on bended knees, oh bartender please Bartender, please

You are to pretty to cry, i wish the best for you 🙏

He's asking for salvation in Christ. Salvation from the trappings of this fallen and doomed world. Salvation from indwelling sin. Deeply Theological and spiritual.

Please know you are dead on. Dave is the writer of his songs and he has had the most pain. His sister was murdered by her partner. He is also South African.

Please. Be quiet

the bartender is supposed be god, and he is confessing is fears and sins and begging for help. For example the line "this wine that is drinking me" is referring to alcoholism. This whole concert is worth watching and they have it on the Dave Matthews channel here.
