<Tr> <Th> Producer (s) </Th> <Td> Stephen Harris </Td> </Tr> <P> "Bartender" is one of Dave Matthews Band's most popular live songs, featured on their studio album Busted Stuff . The song was one of the many that carried over from the near - abandoned project that is The Lillywhite Sessions . If The Lillywhite Sessions album is considered a Dave Matthews Band studio album, then "Bartender" is the longest Dave Matthews Band song recorded, and the only one over ten minutes . </P> <P> The song is about a person who, while talking to a bartender, deals with thoughts of their own death . In an interview with the Rocky Mountain News, Matthews said he liked the concept of a bartender as a God / Jesus figure to which to confess and get absolution . In the song, the protagonist tells others not to have certain feelings about him / her if he / she goes before his / her time . "Bartender" was the first song performed by the band after the August 2008 death of saxophonist LeRoi Moore . </P> <P> Structurally, the song starts with a single note introduction before moving into the lyrical section with march - style drumming by Carter Beauford . After the lyrics finish, the song begins an extended jam session beginning with a loud climax featuring emotional, improvised vocals by Dave Matthews . It then decrescendos into a pennywhistle solo / outro, into which both Moore and his successor, Jeff Coffin, have interpolated songs such as "If I Only Had a Brain" (as heard on Live Trax Vol. 6). </P>
