His voice captivated me from the START, pure joy for me. Such a silky smooth beautiful voice, seems without imperfections.

@spawn4582 Год назад

He was very confident in himself, this is what he needs, that's for sure

@SWLinPHX Год назад

@SalvoG You my friend have such a sweet, sincere appreciation for music and general sensitivity not to know and have experienced all these classics I grew up with. Better late than never -- but you grew up in the wrong era, man.

@SWLinPHX Год назад

His father lived to hear this tribute and have it become a big hit, and then soon died. Perfect timing. Poor Dan himself died much too young. He was a very kind, sweet and gentle man.

@CardiacCat Год назад

@@SWLinPHX LOL, I commented when I first started watching his reviews that he is such a 70's kid. He listens the way we did back in the day, so intent and appreciating every little thing, picking up the needle arm and moving it back on the album a bit. 🙂

@SWLinPHX Год назад

@@CardiacCat Yes, he is ideal and rewarding as a reaction channel. I just can't believe how he's never even heard of some many superstars and supergroups though. I think he's in his early 30's maybe and some you just know from your parents or movies or just how big they are.

Melancholy is the word I think you want

NO ONE writes lyrics like Dan did. The Professor of Rock just did a great video on Dan and this song, an homage to his dying Dad.

@vickiwhite4004 Год назад

that was a fantastic video from him ! He really thought it was to personal to release .

@4brtndr1 Год назад

“Same Old Lang Syne” is a personal fave. I never fully understood it's weight and depth until I'd gotten a bit older and better understood the lyrics. Such an amazing tale of how it feels to suddenly be confronted with your past and how cherished and yet melancholy those memories can be. I highly recommend it.

@davidsonchris737 Год назад

It's a True story about His dad ❤

@ChicagoDB Год назад

Dan wrote this song as a tribute to his father…and like several of his songs it’s based on his own life/experiences. “Same Auld Lang Syne” another of his great hits was based upon actually bumping into his old girlfriend at a convenience store on Christmas Eve while back visit his family in Illinois for the holidays 🤍🤍🤍

Dan Fogelberg was truly one of the GOATs - and “Leader of The Band” has always been one of my favorites. Exquisite voice…and a great songwriter!

@dagmar.6954 Год назад

One of my favorite artists. Dan Fogelberg was such a great folk rock singer songwriter & storyteller. He also played multiple instruments such as guitar, bass, piano & mandolin. I had his double album "The Innocent Age" from 1981. "Leader Of The Band" is my favorite song by him, a loving tribute to his dad. He wrote so many great songs such as "Longer", "Hard To Say", "Missing You", "Make Love Stay", "Run For The Roses", "The Language Of Love", "Believe In Me", "Same Auld Lang Syne" etc. We lost him much too soon in 2007.

@ChicagoDB Год назад

All great songs…”Make Love Stay” is also a personal favorite in addition to this one.

@algregory6597 Год назад

Dan Fogelberg was born in Peoria, Illinois. He was the youngest of three sons born to Margaret (née Irvine), (1920-2015), a classically trained pianist, and Lawrence Peter Fogelberg, (1911-1982), a band director at Woodruff High School in Peoria, at Pekin Community High School in Pekin, and at Bradley University in Peoria. Fogelberg’s mother was a Scottish immigrant and his father was of Swedish descent. Fogelberg often related his memory of his father allowing him to "conduct" the Bradley University school band when he was only four years old. In 1981, Fogelberg released the song "Leader of the Band", which was written for and inspired by his father.

@joejackson73 Год назад

Dan said in all of his interviews that this song brought he and his father very close. He added that because of this song there was nothing left unsaid between them when his father passed.

@rebeccamccann8710 Год назад

This song was so deeply personal to Dan…a touching tribute to his father, who was sick for a long time, DF was able to say all the things that he needed to tell his father through his music. He related how much his dad loved the song and that there was nothing left unsaid between them when his father passed away. We are privileged to be able to share this loving tribute.

@sfcub-Bill Год назад

Same Old Lang Syne" is a song written and recorded by Dan Fogelberg and released as a single in 1980 another Holiday tear inducing song!

@TripletDad3 Год назад

The O in his name is pronounced like the O in "photo" or like in the name Vogel. This song resonated so much with people that his dad received multiple interview requests from the media. He was a former marching band and concert band leader at multiple schools. Dan Fogelberg said that one day when he was very young, his father let him go up on stage with him and handed him a baton and let him direct the orchestra with him. He said that experience was so powerful to him that he immediately knew he wanted to be a musician. He also said that if he had only been able to write one song in his lifetime, it would be Leader of the Band without question.

@llrice3711 7 месяцев назад

He was singing about his father. His father lived long enough to experience the public reaction to this song. Many people came to see his father and meet him because of it. Also - it's a long O FOgelberg.

@officeofthedissidentelect2217 Год назад

I was fortunate enough to have seen Dan Fogelberg in concert back in the 80's. What a great show. He did so many encores, near the end, he said something like "I think I've sang enough tonight. How about y'all sing for me?" That was amazing hearing thousands of people all singing their best.

@kevinmusso2397 3 месяца назад

Sit down and listen to the entire Netherlands LP… start to finish. It’s a glorious masterpiece

@critterwatcher8009 Год назад

Fogelberg is SO underrated as a singer/songwriter. His lyrics tend towards poetic with wonderful imagery. He has done bluegrass; orchestral / existential angst of Netherlands; he could do rock "Power of Gold" and he could do all the seasons of love: young love "Dancing Shoes"; enduring love "longer"; Rocky relationships: "lonely in love" and Broken love of divorce "Seeing you again" and "heart hotels" then there the nostalgic love of"same old lang syne". To name just a few. Edit: He ran with some great musicians. On "souvenirs" Joe Walsh - (EAGLES) who played and produced the album Gerry Beckley -(AMERICA) Don Henley - (EAGLES) Graham Nash - (Crosby Stills and Nash) Glenn Frey - (EAGLES) The Front Line Gardenia Choir (Don Henley, Randy Meisner, Jody Boyer and Marie Ouhrabka) - choir (11)

@@critterwatcher8009 I only got to see him one time, but it was freakin' amazing! He performed SOLO at a great small theater in Phoenix called "Celebrity Theater", which was "in the round". It was just LUCK that he was appearing there when I was on vacation visiting my Dad in Scottsdale, and I happened to see it in the morning paper about the concert! Wish I could have seen him more times!

@jackishman7707 Год назад

This, together with Cat Stevens' "Father and Son" and Harry Chapin's "Cats in the Cradle" form a trifecta of the "best Father/Son songs" It's hard to listen to all three one after another and not end up with a tear running down your cheek, especially if you have lost your own dad.

Being a musician, who’s father and grandfather were both musicians, this song has always rung so true for me, it’s pretty much guaranteed to bring tears.

@julianortiz4151 Год назад

Same.

@leslieoneal4464 Год назад

Same here. ❤ I've loved this song since it came out; it hit deeper every time I'd hear it through the years. It's especially poignant and heartwrenching now, since my Daddy died in May 2021. He was a professional musician and bandleader. The year before he died, at age 88, he was awarded the Edwin Franko Goldman Bandmaster Citation. It meant the world to him, although he'd be the first to tell you, he didn't do it for the awards or money or acclaim...he did it because he loved passing on his love of music to future generations! He worked with professional and military bands, college bands, and even many high school and junior high school bands; and treated them all the same. He loved everybody and everybody loved him. He was the leader of the band if there ever was one. 🎶❤🎶 I miss you Daddy!

@wgandy9541 Год назад

I have always loved his music. Great reaction! Please, please, please listen to his "Another Old Lang Syne". Dan is a master of story telling and this one doesn't disappoint. He meets an old girlfriend from years ago in the grocery store and he explores all the feelings that come with a chance meeting like that. Please listen to the studio version to get the full effect of the song.

@scottpowell5605 Год назад

Melancholy would be the word I'd say you're looking for at 5:45. In an interview, Dan said "My father got to experience the success of this song, people were walking up to him and asking him 'Who is this man, the Leader of the Band?' And I loved that, because HE loved that. This song cemented our relationship, because it left nothing unsaid between us before his passing" I think I've got that quote almost completely correct, although I haven't seen the interview in years.

@mia795 Год назад

Song makes me cry. A child who appreciates a parent that much is a beautiful thing.

@firedoc5 Год назад

LATE COMMENT: Dan's song "Run for the Roses" is one that cannot be excluded as one of his very best. Growing up raising horses and helping to train them for a number of different tasks including racing, it is a song that also gets into my heart.

@mdj-ie7rj Год назад

‘Moving’ is a good description for this song. It’s a reminder to appreciate our loved ones and the simple, powerful, moments we share with them. We know life is short, and Fōgelberg reminds us to tell those who love us, we love them in return ❤

Written as an ode to his father, a University band conductor, who passed shortly after the songs release. He did get to hear it first though. I loved Dan from his earliest to his last albums. (Although he passed on my birthday which made his passing especially poignant.) Fogelberg (long "O" BTW) was a master of the craft.

It came out just a couple years after I got married and became "our" song. Will celebrate 48 years this fall and it still moves me. Dan Fogelberg's voice was unique and he was so very very good at writing wonderful music.

If your jaw does not disconnect from your face, I will eat your backwards facing hat. I am serious, you will thank me. Dan plays guitar, Tim plays flute.

@stevetournay6103 11 месяцев назад

My favourite singer-songwriter by miles. The Innocent Age was an epic (lower case e...though Epic was Dan's label most of his career!) double album. One of the ballads on it, The Sand And The Foam, is perhaps my favourite song. I love it enough to want it played at my funeral. Not soon...but I do. Simple and utterly exquisite. I could snow you under with suggestions for DF songs to react to...here are a few: The Sand And The Foam Ghosts To The Morning Tucson, Arizona (Gazette) Make Love Stay Believe In Me Longer Sweet Magnolia (And The Traveling Salesman) Nether Lands Sutter's Mill Wandering Shepherd River Of Souls Colors Of Eve ...and a few dozen others.
