Dave Matthews Band was formed in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1991 by South African native singer and guitarist Dave Matthews, bassist Stefan Lessard, Leroi Moore, who plays a wide variety of instruments from the saxophone to the flute, violin player Boyd Tinsley, drummer Carter Beauford, and keyboardist Peter Griesar (who left the band in 1993), all of whom Dave met in Charlottesville. Since 1998 the band has performed most of their shows with keyboardist Butch Taylor, although he is not officially a member of the band. Early 1990s In the early 1990s, the band established a cult following through relentless touring with weekly stops at Virginia clubs known as Trax and Floodzone, an active taping community, and an independent LP, Remember Two Things. (Keyboardist Griesar left the band in 1993, shortly before the release of "Remember Two Things".) After signing to RCA Records, Dave Matthews Band, under the direction of producer Steve Lillywhite, released Under the Table and Dreaming in 1994, a critical and popular smash that firmly established the band's style of pop-rock with improvisational leanings. Under the Table and Dreaming would be the first of three albums released under Lillywhite's direction.

Bartender Lyrics
Dave Matthews Band
And if I go, before Im old
Oh brother of mine, please dont forget me if I go
And if I die, before my time
Oh sweet sister of mine, do not 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 down
Bartender, please fill my glass deep for me
With the wine you gave jesus
That set him free after three days down
On bended knees, I pray, bartender please
On bended knees, God please
Oh, and if this gold, should steal my soul away
Oh mother of mine, please redirect me if this gold...
Bartender, please fill one up for me
Of the kind you gave jesus
That set him free after three days down
On bended knees, I pray, bartender please
On bended knees, bartender please
[the newer version, from summer 2000]
If I go
Before Im old
Oh, brother of mine
Please dont 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 dont 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
Im on bended knees, I pray
Bartender, please
When I was young, I didnt think about it
Now I just cant get it off my mind
Im on bended knees
Father, please
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 thats drinking me
Came from the vine that strung judas from the devils tree
Its roots deep, deep in the ground
Bartender, you see
The wine thats drinking me
Came from the vine that strung judas from the devils tree
Its roots deep, deep in the ground
In the ground...
Im on bended knees
Oh, bartender, please
Im on bended knees
Father, please
When I was young, I didnt dream about it
Now I think about it all the time
Im on bended knees
Oh, bartender, please
Bartender, please
