Dave & Tim - The Maker (Live Radio City)

Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds perform "The Maker" (Live at Radio City Hall)

[@taniamason9432]

This song came to me after my son died at the age of 25 from a drug overdose. He struggled for years with health issues, mental demons and drug addiction. He sent this song to me 8 days after he died to tell me he made it to the other side and he’s at peace...his struggles were over and he was indeed with The Maker❤️

[@o-rang9137]

He loves and watches over you every day i'm sure. He will always be with you and I know he would want you to not be sad. ❤

I chose this song for my Mother's memorial, January 2024. It's so indescribably perfect. Thanks for creating the magic, Dave ❤

[@Kariusandbactus]

I love how Tim, despite his virtuosity, takes himself back and plays this super simple solo that sticks closely to the melody, knowing full well that what the song needs is humility, not ego.

i listened to this song when i was having a really bad acid trip and it kept me from killing myself. thanks Dave and Tim. i am forever greatful

[@virginiacastillo9471]

I could not see For the fog in my eyes I could not feel For the fear in my life From across the great divide In the distance I saw light every word is simple truth! thank you DMB!

[@School-Of-Thought]

Beautiful song about the struggles of being human and the realization that we all need God.

[@oliverbroadbent6978]

Back in 2008 I was a sophomore at Salem State College in Salem, Ma. The nicest thing I owned was the stereo in my beat up 1994 Mazda Protege. I had one CD and it was a Dave Matthews live album (I forget which one exactly). When I hear this song it takes me back to the nights in college when I would go and get in my little beater and this song would be on. The car was cold and stale. I’d wait for the windows to defrost and listen to this on repeat. Without fail I would get lost in this song ever single time.

"But from across the great divide, in the distance I saw light" I get chills every time at this point in the song. Everything about this moment...the dynamics, the vulnerability in Dave's voice, the passion behind the guitar...it all creates a surreal moment of absolution. Thank you Dave and Tim for your beautiful story telling. ❤

I haven't heard this version in years, and a lot has happened in my life since then. I got as far as "I'm a stranger in the eyes of the maker" before I completely fkn lost it.

If you know the power of the Lord "The Maker"... You know the truth and glory of our Lord, then you know how beautiful this song is and how much truth lies in the words of this song. Dave and Tim nailed the beauty of it's meaning.

Beautiful. Absolutely amazing. This song is music's connection between the heavens and the earth. When Tim goes into his solo it is the definition of LOVE.

[@bash5995]

I have known about Dave Mathews since the early 90's but for some reason I never paid much attention. About two days ago I watched him perform "Bartender" and though holy s**t he is so talented! He can produce the best music with the littlest amount of effort and make it look so easy. I am so glad I have finally seen the light, thank you Dave!

[@BinhNguyen-vx4yo]

Which version of bartender?!

[@enye1483]

Uh yeah.

Great version of the Maker. Originally released by Daniel Lanois in 1989. It is off his Acadie album and still stands as a classic.

Steve Crews heres something to think about. I.think Daniel Lanois recorded this in the 80's, I know this song from Jerry Garcia singing it in the early 90's..and heres Dave covering it probably in late 90's........there will always be musicians who work to share their heart and soul and hope they find people who care to listen
