Glen Hansard Live on Letterman 12-12-13 

You're right! He is such an artist! But i come to think... does he need it? What is the recognition after all? Like... mass media or something? I believe that he wouldn't be the great artist that he is being on the top of the charts... he is doing what he feels and composing with his heart. When the 'music industry' takes over you... all those things start to fall. Thanks for read me.

he won an oscar....

@Raglan Road bro he's good there. Money is in touring these days and this gent sells out nearly every show he does.

I agree

hmm let's see Critics Choice Award , a Grammy...oh and an Oscar, he has more "recognition" than most

I'm seeing it for the first time in 2022 and I've become hooked! Van Morrison through and through. London UK.

I hear ya Chris😊 Completely attached like a new born to it's mother. Best on RU-vid, my go to, particularly when I need a little Light💫💫💫☀️

Hi Chris, You provably can downloaded from youtube using some website or app.

I’ve just shared it with myself !

Almost time for another watch sir!

Funny that you talked about commitment, when you know he was in « the commitments » movie. Totally agree with you, humble like a Irish

Thats holy true, no fires, no clowning......only pure music !!!

AMEN! A most talented musician, more than most! The Irish “less is more” runs through their veins, versus the American MORE IS MORE!! I speak from experience having lived in both countries, and why Irish musicians regardless of celebrity choose to remain living in Ireland. Whilst in Ireland I bumped into Bono drinking at the pub, and Bob G hanging in Dublin on the street - twas just another day 🤷‍♀️

Awh, this was nice to read! I'm from Dublin, yeah we like our melodies more than pyrotechnics ha. Glen is a sweetheart as well, ran into him a few times and he's just another lad in the pub

@@gentlyfierce1960 Haha yeah Bob is always round town. A lad I went on a few dates with lived in his old gaff. Mattress had the tags with his name on :S Bono keeps to himself but his daughters went to school with me (couple years older), so he'd be on campus for hockey matches and plays. Nice enough but... I mean take off the purple shades indoors mate ha. He's more LA than Ireland now. You're spot on, loads of celebrities come here for privacy. Michael Jackson, Kim&Kanye, and remember Jay-Z and Beyonce went for a walk in the park with their new kid once, someone took 1 photo and let them alone. TMZ said it was because Ireland was so far behind we didn't know who they were.😂 Like, nah mate we just respect privacy. 😂😂

Thanks!

Glen is amazing and the raw emotion he puts forth in his songs is what makes him special

Thanks!!!

In questo il mr 1

Paul O'Donnell 100% bang on mate , he brings all of ghat on stage with him , although regrettably I haven’t seen him live yet, but i do live in hope

He is a human dynamo

would love to have revolate . awesome tune . go wan the Paddys

For myself , live to the audience ( eye to eye he's better than many oher's ) .

Same , keep going the way

facts

Gabrielle Price Best live show I've seen that I wasn't at. Thank you, gotsome. Thank you, thank you.

Gabrielle Price Watch The Commitments, he was a lot younger then but it's a good movie.

Thanks Anna!

alk3ie 1000%

+gommax75 makes us so proud

and Mic Christopher RIP.....

Was going to add..don't forget mic Christopher.. topped them all!

dops o o think they are better than him

+Chris Altman Yeah, I was laughing at that. The only Frame missing is Colm. If you look at the Swell Season's live videos, it's even more obvious--it's the full Frame lineup + Marketa. Glen said once "Outside the US, we tour as the Frames, inside the US we tour as the Swell Season. Same band."

chris altman so true they are the best band ever!

I think the hardcore fans know this already so thee is no need to say, also its the 'Glen Hansard'show afterall

They are great, no doubt about it.

As the frames i believe they are stuck in one music gender, alternative rock. But as Glen's band, they have much more freedom to create and play

You would love Damien Rice too if you loved Glen.

Tutte le volte che ti ascolto!!Glen !!per me e una nuova emozione!!!😇🤗🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍😘😘🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶💎💎💯💯

Agreed.

Did you cry...?

'Goosies' all over from that song😯🥰

@@sherp2u1 maybe

@@carinagrennan129 Well he broke strings on 2 different guitars (55:07 is the first), within a song or 2 of each other which they all found funny. He doesnt go easy on guitars, have a look at his 'original' in other pics or vids from a number of years back with a hole in the body worn through, but I'm sure they are strung knowing that he will test them and yet pinged 3 in total on 2 guitars. There's a live solo acoustic gig in the US, broke strings early on, had to change the set off the top of his head, was going to sing with no music until another band let him use one of their guitars - I think he was afraid then as that band were on straight after lol.

@@carinagrennan129 I think this is the gig ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ooow7xqTMt0.html Are you based in the US or just were lucky enough to catch a gig there? He is such good pals with Eddie Vedder, if I was at a show in the US i'd be praying that Eddie would be brought on stage!!

@@carinagrennan129 Home in Ireland currently, for a while at least. I saw the Frames in my home town 3 times during the late 90's when they were still just making their way. Then Glen did a few solo gigs 2 I caught which was pure luck as I just happened to be home from London both times. Really small intimate venue too so loads of interaction with the crowd and kinda informal if a gig can be formal lol. I'd be furious with myself for missing the concet you mention but I have one also - Pearl Jam were supporting Neil Young at Slane Castle, I was a kid back then, was a bit tired after the stupid o'clock early start and watching every supporting act from midday 'til 5pm. Sharon Shannon was up next so I went and found a quit spot for a snooze....I slept through her set, and managed to sleep through the 1st 45mins of PJ!!?? One of the loudest bands at that time and 100k people there ugh sickened lol. I was 13 or 14 so not like I was drinking or smoking or the like. Wee bit of trivia though you may know - if you ever watch the movie Pulp Fiction again watch out for a character wearing a The Frames t-shirt!! Are you from Michigan or in the US working? They are playing Chicago in the Autumn, though while it looks like its not a big trip its probably 6 or 7 hours of travel from Michigan with the size of The States lol.That would be some gig to get to if it even gets to go ahead.

@@carinagrennan129 Yeah hard to know whether to buy tickets when you have to organise flights, hotels, etc on top. How did ye get into The Frames/Glen Hansard? I ask cause when a student in London I worked in an Irish bar (not at all a stereotype lol). They only played Irish music/bands but only well-known bands - U2, Cranberries, Corrs, and the like. I convinced the manager to give me £100 to buy a load of albums from Irish bands that were excellent but just didn't make it big (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cDo6Lgylsjg.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZQbDeHpgozA.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cuLcCmj4vMY.html). There were so many people that were asking bar staff who these tunes were by - the Fitzcaraldo album topping the heap!! Ugh, I had so many plans myself over the summer too. Yup I am born and raised on in Ireland. I think it's incredible that someone born in the US, with Irish roots , has an interest in Irish bands at all!! Teaching must be really odd at the moment but hey teachers are as front line as, medics, police, fire crews. I couldn't do what you do!!! There are a good few more bands that I could have stuck in above. I missed much of their heydey :p But still great bands!!!

@@carinagrennan129 You might enjoy this!! www.rte.ie/culture/2020/0520/1139588-other-voices-courage-watch-glen-hansard-live-in-concert/

I actually cried copious tears !

Discovered this concert and put it on my playlist. You're right-- watch it at Christmas time!

I saw him in Paris last week, same. Three hours of great music.

Couldn't agree more! He's a channell as I've not experienced in music. He has a love of the 'Holy', and LIVES IT more importantly through his humility and service to his craft, versus image!

He broke the string twice 😂

@@cubonemaker5080 and we don’t care and neither does he. This is the gift of being a street performer for decades in Ireland. He can cope with anything and do anything he wants to and it’s all mesmerising and full of energy.

@@swami19581 yup! And I think it’s freaking awesome!

hole

He believes in getting his money out of his guitar like Willie Nelson does.

@@andrewkling9530 Stupid person

@@sartainja You are stupid.
