I made a music video of the song Longer and sent it to Dan, it was made in Honolulu, I used to work at TV Station as a Technical Director I have since retired from TV Production. I saw him once in concert in Honolulu, can't recall what year it was. I also made a Wedding video with his songs , Longer was my Wedding Song it was done in 1989. Looking for a Lady was perhaps the song that got me hooked on Dan Fogelberg, still have his albums, I am now 65 soon to be 66 in Nov. 2020, but I have a terminal illness, as I approach my time up, I listen to his songs and remember the good old days, great video thank you.
Great songs, great singers, great players. No theatrics or production needed. Fool's Gold harmonies spot on, steel player smokin' yet tasty, bass player perfect, and the drummer PLAYED THE SONGS without dominating. This is how a live band does it, kids. And this is what well written songs sound like. Real deal.
Dan fogelberg and fool's gold was my very first concert I was 11 years old it was 1974 his album captured angel just came out wow I'm 54 now and still remember it well fool's gold opened up played some songs then Dan came out Sat in a chair with a acoustic guitar and it was like heaven in a voice he lit up a joint took a couple puffs and someone yelled PICK ALL NIGHT! He cracked up thru the joint down and did just that played all night I've never forgotten my first they don't have music like this anymore this recording made me so emotional I cried long live the 70's
I have always loved Dan. I bought several albums back in the seventies. Never got the chance to see him live. It was his beautiful voice that drew me in, I never realized what an accomplished guitarist he was. Wow.
He was equally accomplished in the piano. Most artists, I can figure their score note for note.....but Dan's piano pieces are so unique and intricate, I can't duplicate his. I've tried several, like same old Lang syne....I gave up! LoL.
An underrated guitar player. The solo on These Days alone is a great illustration of that as well as the acoustic stuff. And yes his piano playing, which was like influenced by his mom and dad who were musicians, is stellar.
What a great find .....I saw Dan several times, he was an amazing performer as well as a great vocalist, songwriter and musician. His music will surely stand the test of time. R.I.P.
Just came across this today. I miss the man and his music something awful. Don't travel on vacation without his music going with me. I ditto your comment!!
I guess, I was about 13 yrs.old when my sister bought his album "Netherlands"; the cover was blue & had a silhouette picture of his face on it...Anyway, that was my introduction to this Amazing ~ One of a Kind ~ Musical Heartthrob! And boy, was that quite an Impression!!! I knew he and I would meet one day, & I would be sooo good to him :- ) (lol) that I'd knock his socks-off!!! And He Would Marry Me!!! And I'd knock his socks-off again & again and we'd be so happy!!! Funny, I still have that dream today! Our world was a better place with him gracing us with his gifts! I know he was too good of a man to live here in this crazy, mixed-up place, but I know he made my life better; and his bright example & legacy will "Forever LIVE".... "He is ALIVE" ~ Especially when we listen to his music & share his stories. When we do these things, he graces us over & over again! Even-though, I wish I got to know him, I still feel in a way that I had; maybe because he so freely shared his life through the stories he tells in his songs! Thank you, Dan, for sharing so much & giving so much. He was "Love", so in a ways...... ~ peace
amen, i feel closer to him now, listening to his music then i did in the early 70's. he definitely was a musician's musician. thank you for all of your great music dan............peace
That is exactly how I feel about Cory Wells of Three Dog Night! At age 13, I just KNEW he would wait for me and we would be married one day. No way to look things up about people back then like it is now, on a computer, so it was many years later that I was heartbroken to find out he was married already and had two daughters and he was married 50 years when he passed away 4 yrs ago! But, no one can ever take away my lifelong memories of Cory. I've already told my daughter that, when they put me in that coffin, I want my Three Dog Night albums (I have all of them) and Cory's solo albums buried with me at my feet, I want no one to have them. That is how strongly he influenced my entire life.
I was there that night and watching it now, it still is as emotional as then. I'm sitting here crying. The world was a better place with you in it. you're missed man!!
This Concert is so priceless.. Dan's music and performing touches my soul and heart deeply and been part of my Life since 1975, I was 17 when I first heard him. I cannot believe he left all of us almost 10 years ago. Forever with us with his music.
Dan Fogelberg was a once in a lifetime artist. Truly talented his voice songs songwriting and musicianship were absolutely amazing. The day that Dan died I cried my heart out as he was in my eyes a most beautiful and man.he is irreplaceable and his will wonderful music will forever on long live in all of our broken hearts and his beautiful soul will never be forgotten . He left us all a truly beautiful legacy which was his timeless masterpieces. Dan was indeed the poet laureate of popular music and his words and music came from the very depths of his beautiful heart and soul. God bless Dan Fogelberg now a truly Captured Angel in Heaven 😢♥️👋🇦🇺
Watching an old concert today on the 8th anniversary of his passing................way way too soon. I was actually at this concert Passaic in 76 and was basically my intro to Dan's music, and I've been hooked ever since !!
I remember Fool's Gold! I actually had their record. Loved them. Probably learned of them through Dan Fogelberg music, all introduced to me by my first cousins. Yes, the 1970s 😀
I am so thankful this is here. This is what real music is and should be. He was such an amazing musician but too few of us hear/see this in this present time and what passes for "music". I listen to/view this over and over again and it never gets old.
Beautiful music. retrospectively rather dark content-wise. I was right there mid-seventies, heart-crushed by divorce and betrayal so a perfect soundtrack then. Glad now is not then but musically Dan has to still be counted among the best. Hopefully he knew the Lord so we can celebrate musically in heaven.
memories. how in the heck did 44yrs fly by so fast?? I saw Dan A-cappella at the Civic Auditorium in Omaha NE in '79. Just a Man, his piano, guitar and the voice of an Angel!!! BYFAR THE BEST CONCERT I HAVE EVER BEEN TO!!! Thank you Dan for sharing your stories and voice with us. Our world right now needs more artists like you!!!! Say Hi to my Mom and Dad in Heaven and give them a hug from me. Bet my Dad doesn't say...."Turn that crap down, I'm going to take a nap" I wasn't listening to you then. Must have been some Seger…... when he hears your sing.....he'd tell me to turn it UP!!! He'll know what I mean.
Uv can't believe the last comment was 4years ago.well people don't know what ya missed,and living in Colorado and be in the same stomping grounds of Colorado with this amazing artist.god bless you Daniel there will never be another one like you.
Man, what a treasure. Tom Kelly's bout to bounce off the stage. You can see the music living in every moment and fiber of their bodies and souls. And 40 years later it still lives in everybody Dan and Co. touched. 😊
Here is part two of the concert. We now go electric with songs from Souvenirs LP - Part of the Plan 43:40. As the Raven Flies - encore 47:15. There's a place in the world for a Gambler - 2nd encore 57:50 Black and white video.
First time I heard his music was on "Captured Angel" loved every track and wore out two vinyls at the time. All his music is wonderful. Very sad day when he passed so young. Thanks for the upload, great concert.
Was at this concert with my ex-wife and some friends. Remember it so well. When Dan introduced "Next Time", and dedicated it to the Minnesota Vikngs, they had just lost the Super Bowl to my Pittsburgh Steelers. I also remember much of the crowd holding up lit lighters as he sang "Let it Shine". It sent chills up and down my spine as I watched this video. Dan's higher power had a better plan for him. I'm sure he is the "Leader of the Band" wherever he is. Thanks so much for the memories Dan.
love this . fools gold . i got a cassette of dans in a little town called bright , victoria , Australia . i drove up the highway to the high country listening to high country snows . what i heard was a whole new world of music for me . Thanks Dan and fools gold .
The Captured Angel album truly showed the talent of Mr. Fogelberg. He is sorely missed, thankfully his music lives on. Seeing these live versions of early songs is quite amazing. And being from Minnesota the Vikings reference before Next Time made me laugh.
Wow...I also was at this concert. Drove home from the University of Vermont to celebrate my 19th birthday with high school friends, just like the guy in the band who was having a birthday. I miss Dan 💕
Lets get it on!!!! Just a note or two & I knew it! All the eords & my kiychen is my fav place to that! I need a photographer ! My sweet Dan gone!! Grateful for!
This is truly a gem. Part Of The Plan and As The Raven Flies are hard to find performed live. Wish I could find Man In The Mirror/Slow Below The Surface.
I saw Dan many times. I lived in Boulder, Colorado when he lived in the area. Every show was amazing. Still today, each song brings back memories of my youth.
My, my! Isn't this just an absolute treasure! My mind has just officially been blown by As The Raven Flies....all these years later. Those of you who were in attendance were some very lucky people!
Love and Miss Dan! Souvenirs was the one that got me hooked, but they did play a track off of his first album which I eventually bought, Anyway I Love you. I often wondered about his love of classical music and influence, so wasn't surprised that he was trained in that. He was in Paris when he was in his first band. Netherlands was also very classically influenced. He explained that his one song, off Innocent Age, Another Old Ang Syne was the melody of the 1812 Overture. Crafty! Gone too soon, but what an impact!
One of my all-time favorite artists. He was a staple at small clubs when he was a student 6 the U of Illinois in early 70s. Sadly ge only came back here once in 1980 for a concert.
Dan and Tim Weisberg did the "Twin Sons... " tour in 1977 and played at Dane County Coliseum in Madison in Dec. They closed half the arena off and did the concert " in the round". Weisberg came out and did a handful of songs. Then after 5 minutes of dark silence, the opening notes of "Netherlands" began. One of the most surreal concert intros ever.
Thank you Dan. We played these songs on stage for adults in the 70’s when we were teens along with Fleetwood Mac and many others. I miss you too “ASPEN” my bandmates and very talented young friends whom I have lost contact with. It was a great time and still makes me smile. Eleven months of chemo didn’t work and I have my memories. Thank you so much everybody. Wow, what a journey.
P.S. Love Fool's Gold! Too bad they dissolved into a duo. Their first record was Stunning! Very Poco-esque! But we early Poco fans were drawn to music like this!
Dan Identified the pedal steel player as David Perlman? Maybe he was filling is for Doug Livingston, who is identified as one of the Fools Gold band members when I did a search on this fabulous supporting band. This pedal steel player is fabulous though.
I saw him on this tour at the Fox Theater in Atlanta... still one of the best shows I've ever seen. Fools Gold opened the show, then Dan came on and played a solo set. Then, he came back out with the band and rocked out!
I saw Dan at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles in the 1990's. Actually won the tickets on a radio station in L.A. It was a great, great concert!! R.I P. Dan. Gone too soon....
Yes, it's hard to believe but DF suffered from stagefright (which would be like Charles Lindbergh being afraid of flying!). He sure hid it well, as this concert shows and the much later "Greetings From The West" live album/DVD confirms. Never managed to see DF live, one of my regrets...
Considering when this video was shot the audio is AMAZING and the video editing is spot on perfect. I've seen live concert videos much more recently of other artists that don't even come CLOSE to this! Also - DAN FOLGELBERG!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anybody else notice that his live performance sounded really close to the studio version? In other words, he didn't "dress up" his songs or vocals to sound better in the studio or mastering. Absolutely NO AUTO TUNE here. He was just that truly talented and consist.
Nola west: he not only made your life better, he made this world better. As a lyricist and musician his words were beautiful. Sometimes sad, but we could all relate to them, and is voice was fantastic. His lyrics were so meaningful. I miss him greatly but don't ever realize how much until I hear one of his songs again. His song "Looking for a lady" inspired me to play acoustic guitar and I learned much more of his,music after that. In college playing his music got me in the door of many a young college girl's dorm room😁😅. God bless him and may his music live forever. He died way too young. RIP Dan Fogelberg. Still missing him these many years later and his music never will lose the quality it is. God bless his wife Jean also. Must have been a great treat to be serenaded by such an amazing musician.
I first heard Dan Fogelberg on PLR in Connecticut about a year before this concert in 1975 while stationed at the sub base in New London. I think he had 3 albums out at this time, and I bought them all. I saw him live 3 times. He was uniquely talented. He left us way too early... and oddly 10 years to the day after we lost another tremendous talent... Nicolette Larson.
I know I have one Fool's Gold album on vinyl. I have to see if I have any others I might have forgotten. I got the album, not knowing they were Fogelberg's backup musicians. I need to dig the album up and play it 50 times.
I just came across something I think all Dan Fogelberg fans might be interested in which is an announcement about a Broadway Show featuring his music. It is called: "Part of the Plan"; and will be premiering in Nashville at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center starting on Sept. 9th, 2017 for it's first run.Here is the link I spotted: www.broadwayworld.com/nashville/article/Photo-Coverage-Dan-Fogelberg-Musical-PART-OF-THE-PLAN-Preps-for-Nashville-Opening-98-20170901I had the special privilege of touring with him from 1975-1977; and actually played in this particular concert which I think captures him extremely well. He was an absolutely unique talent in every way; and I am so glad to see this renewed interest in his work for in my humble opinion it is so long over due.Adios my old friend; sail on!
I saw this very talented musician in New Orleans.He performed solo.No band.He was not feeling well and put on a hell of a show.I wonder what it would have sounded like had he been well.
Hoo. Love "Big Bad John", what a neat surprise that this colleague of DF's wrote it. Had always thought it was an older song, maybe late '50s. (I can see where the words were changed...and why!)
I dont know who these musicians are, but here are the band member names from another RU-vid, user Gene Tourangeau. DAN FOGELBERG Piano, acoustic & electric guitars, vocals FOOL'S GOLD Ron Grinel, drums; Tom Kelly, bass and vocals; Denny Henson, piano, acoustic guitar and vocals and Doug Livingston, pedal steel (I've been informed by Dave Pearlman, that he played pedal steel and Richard Bowden played guitar- I don't remember where I saw the credits but I have no way of verifying this so I will list all for the listener to sort out) Note that Big Bad John was sung by guest Richard Bowden.
Saw him at the FOX in Atlanta. Although the music from later in his career (after Netherlands) lost most of its appeal for me, he shaped my musical career & performances.
