@@mortgagefinancing5558 you really need to be a different species of man to call 80s music even something remotely close to the Faecal Matter of a Male Cow.
Bass Player and Drummer taking this song to incredible, groovy, places! Unreal. And Bruce's playing, never heard him sound so good ... definitely grown a lot jazzier. Terrific.
Bruce Hornsby is also a real pianist unlike many of those "wanabes" out there. It makes a heck of a difference especially when taking a solo or writing a piano part. Cheers.
For me the Nr. 1 Signaturen-Song of the 80s , the Lyrics are timeless and touching The Piano Intro - once heard, the Memory remains for Life Masterpiece
I had no idea he still played his original hit with the Range from 1986. It just took 35 years for me to hear it again close to the original sound. Bruce Hornsby left Rock behind and the Range five years later in 1991 (he just did two highly successful albums with them and won multiple awards back then). Since then he has been successful with other things outside the rock sound as he did not want to do that anymore, but this is what he is going to be remembered for - along with Valley Road and the other hits he did with the Range (and the Don Henley single he did with him).
When this came out and I'd be sleeping, THIS song could awaken me from a deep slumber in to such joy. Boy if I could have sing this song with this band, I be giddy. WOW👑👑👑
Phew! From the thumbnail I thought that was Trevor Bauer behind him! I was like “please Bruce! Say it ain’t so!” Anyways I still find this to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written, a true masterpiece. I so so so miss when music was music and not one guy making “beats” on a computer! Maybe I just couldn’t hear it right, but I miss the iconic bass intro from the studio version! Lol Also, the Tupac song that samples this is a masterpiece as well!
Soy Mexicano y, desde que conocí a éste gran artista, mi vida hizo cambio, en aquellos días del 80 y tantos mi pequeña hija y yo disfrutamos mucho a buen Hornsby, a mi parecer un genio.
Just some great musos having fun with the guy that made the song still giving it all his heart. I always wondered what happened to Bruce. One of my all time fav songs.
Bruce & the range performed in a little club called The Brewery on Hillsborough st in Raleigh just before his first album blew up... and I missed it. I did get to see him at walnut creek ampli theatre some years later with Bonnie Raitt.
@musele6089 Bruce Hornsby is not only a composer and singer but also a real pianist unlike many of those "wannabes" out there. It makes a heck of a difference especially when taking a piano solo or writing a piano part. Cheers.
To the person who kept letting out the big long screams during the song, the musicians just love that.....keep it up. Don't ever let anyone tell you that it's one of the most low class things that you can do.
LOVE Bruce to eath- I have all his CD's--but honestly I get a little tired of his frequent journeys into ligeti and Stockhausen- very clever but I could do without them.Also can really do with less dulcimer ( apologies).Here is Bruce playing a classic the way that people remember it. I love to hear songs the way they were recorded and he should do more of it! I know Bruce feels that he should be constantly changing and moving on - I just wish he would occasionally just pause and realise that some people just want to hear the original versions of his classics.
