Daniel Lanois, Brian Blade, Jim Wilson - The Maker 

Brian Blade is the heart, Jim Wilson is the guts, Daniel Lanois is the spirit. This can't go wrong.

I met him at a show years ago. Small venue, intimate setting, small audience. He was supposed to play a couple of tunes on his acoustic and answer a few questions, in and out type of radio obligation. Instead he asks if the full band can play and work some things out. Needless to say it was like sitting at the feet of greatness. It was a masterful performance. Then I had a beer with him after the show and he was a gentleman. Sincere, humble and asked me questions about my life etc. The man is a treasure and we are lucky to have him. He also rented an RV to tour in that he drove himself. He is just that guy. Amazing human being and a musical genius surrounding himself with musical geniuses.

I first heard of Lanois as the secondary producer for U2 in the mid 80s. In this 9 minute clip alone, he eclipses everything U2 ever achieved.

Fuck, I'm not religious, but Christ, this song almost makes me believe! What a masterpiece!

This song and performance makes me feel so good. Brian Blade on drums is the secret ingredient.

Daniel Lanois is a National Treasure.

It’s funny to see any negative comments about this performance. It’s a pity that even sharing the finest of the art-form on RU-vid will always to some degree just become a casting of pearls before swine. This music is of the highest... If you don’t get it, grab a fish sandwich on the way out and don’t bother coming back.

Did you ever hear a song that you’ve never heard before and you just devour it . This is all I’ve listened to for the past few days . All versions !!! But I think I like this one best

I've never seen Lanois perform this song (or any other) exactly the same twice. If you've never caught him live ... do it before we meet the Maker.

His guitar playing is like controlled chaos. Magnificent.

I keep coming back to this - just amazing musicians playing and having a good time.

can't get enough of this MASTERY

the best drummer around on one of the greatest songs of the modern era

This song has followed me a long time through happiness and sorrow. I think it will follow me to the grave. Thank you Daniel. 🙏

I don't care about the phase issues on Daniel's guitar...he is my hero and perhaps the coolest guy on earth. This song is genius.

You may be a stranger in the eyes of the Maker, (you never come to Him), but you're not a stranger in the hands of the Maker (He made you!). If you draw near to Him, He'll draw near to you (who knows what he can do?) (James 4:8)

I am scramble to find words that could properly express my appreciation for this profoundly inspired talent. The entire band seems on fire with transcendent abilities. I didn't really understand that "real music" is still alive and well until this.

This is what makes live music so transcendent. i have listened to Acadie many times. This takes me beyond my prior understanding of this song. All praise to Daniel Lanois, Brian Blade, Jim Wilson, this date, this recording. Thank you.

That drumming is relentless…

Heavenly song from The Maker Best version ever. Just fabulous ❤

Beautiful song!!!

Genius is often over used. Not here. Transcendent. Takes one into another realm

god i love this guitar work

Attract that straddles, genius and spirituality❤

Fantastic! Love the drumming of Brian Blade and the guitar playing of Daniel Lanois. A perfect combination.

Daniel Lanois is the maker

He was with me (in my headphones) traveling across Canada by rail. Haunting musical landscapes. Melancholy mixed with hope. A good Canadian son our Daniel.

Brian and Brady Blade are incredible players but lord almighty his drums sound incredible here.

what a great vocal sound for a live concert⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

God bless Brian Blade!!!

Are you kidding me?!?! This trio reminds me of Cream. The fact that these cats can create this music, and that we can dig it...i think that's what separates us from the animals.

Weltklasse Band. Danke

What talent! What a drummer!

I could not see for the fog in my eyes. . . . This is an enormous version of an enormous song.

I've played since i was 16 I'm 67 now and sir you got my attention i really like that sound its perfect

Masterful......One of the best versions of this song, ever.

serious with Brian , Jim & Dan!!! beautiful blend amongst friends. love to each of you... never old, only pure gold.

Love having the same song on my tv and computer together, when they're offbeat

Discovered him while at Fuji rock in 2015; he performed this song and was blown away. Definitely the best performance of the festival !

Incredible.

Beautiful

Masterpiece. They play and feel music with all bodies. Masters.

Brian Blade ! The perfect drummer

Beautiful music from a beautiful human being. Thank you so much for the video.

I'm simply entranced by Brians beautiful playing. Great song.

Just incredible. Impeccable musicianship and brilliant delivery. Daniel’s atmospheric guitar notes and Brian’s incredible timing and performance on drums. I hope to hell they come to Virginia Beach/Norfolk Virginia sometime. I’ll be there.

Absolutely his best performance !!

5:23 - my eyes burst into tears ... holy shit, I'm a grownup ... :)

Insane magic to my ears

Whenever I get bummed. ....I watch this video. Amazing.

This is just amazing! Guitar bass and drums all great. Playing with such texture and feeling. Live music at its best!!!

Awesome song, loved it from the first time i heard it on the soundtrack of Billy Bob Thornton's brilliant Movie "Sling Blade"...just beautiful!

What a great trio & iteration of this masterpiece... Jimmy Hendrix, Robert Fripp & Dan Lanois... make the guitar into a monumental instrument... its like everyone else is playing an untuned piano & these guys are playing the worlds biggest church organ... whole nother level for sure

My God.... That man has pure magic in his fingers (and the rest aren't bad either... lol) Beautiful.

Knocks my socks off.

J’ai découvert Daniel Lanois a la sortie de son album Acadie par hasard… j’ai pris une claque musicale et j’ai adoré… et depuis je l’écoute régulièrement c’est intemporel et tellement parfait ✨👌

Three consummate musicians who take you on a journey to paradise. It's angular and beautiful with a lot going on but still space for the listener to join it all up. A perfect example of a DL ethereal soundscape delivered with his good humour. No wonder they enjoyed it so much!

Spiritual performance! Great stuff!

The drum sound and that drummers sound!!!!!

This is peak music

Wow,if you search youtube you will find many versions of this song,almost like Mr. lanois has been trying to play the perfect version.well you nailed it sir.These cats are the masters of time and space.beautiful beyond words.

Those vocals are LIVE...? Damn those guys are incredible together

That's how you rip a song with style! Amazing version of an amazing song.

*Thank You Ctirad for sharing this great Lanois gem. I only wish it were the entire show!*

What a treasure, thanks for sharing this!

Super muza

世界が平和でありますように。

Solid %100 . Such a good vibe and hook all at the same time!

I've gotten to see Daniel twice with Brian Blade on drums at Town Hall NYC and The Bottom Line NYC he was kind enough to have me as a guest..

what a guitar player, dear god

This is so damned honest and good. No one should ever play this song but him.

Sling Blade is one of the purest movies ever made about the human condition. This song was a perfect expression of those complex ideas.

And... Brian Blade - drumming so seemingly simple, yet such flowing organic improvisation throughout. Masterful.

Really so good!!!

Nice.It's like a funky soulful Crazy Horse

A lot of output from that tiny guitar.

Master of Ethereal sounds!!!

Fantastic!

Stuns!!!!!!!!!!!!!

…could not feel,…for the fear in my life

The song that started it all for me, 28 yrs ago or so. Brilliant stuff!!

Such a COOL version!! First heard Willy Nelson do this and loved it. Now I LOVE it even more!! Daniel Lanois is SUCH a TALENT!!

love his music, Saludos from El Salvador

Stunning, thanks !

Wonderful

Such a fantastic live shot of it.

Amazing!!!!!!!

Yeah,a song to follow you to the grave.

This ROCKS!!!

AMAZING! What a blend!!!

Impeccable timing boys! Nuff said. E

Daniel Lanois il Fait de La super Music Avec Le Meilleur Batteur de La Planète dès que Brian pas derrière les futs pour de la zic plus ou moins commercial sa prend une autre dimension

Both Brady and Brian are amazing drummers and don’t get nearly enough recognition

POWER TRIO....!!!!
