I didn't tape everyone on their second night performing, for tips, at the New Varsity. There was clearly something special about this guy. This is, 1980, while studying "electronic music" at Stanford, before meeting Will Ackerman, before "Breakfast in the Field."

This video is a national treasure. It needs to be preserved for future generations. It shows the chrysalis of greatness, the youth of virtuosity, a look back into the history of a great American guitarist.

@greatunz67
@greatunz67 7 месяцев назад
well to be honest the best lyricist/guitar combo is Bruce himself on both. Bruce is one of the best/most underrated guitarists ever. This is a note for note copy of Bruce's playing but still not as good.

It looks like it was filmed some time in the early to mid 1980,s oh what a time those years where. Anyway Michel .H. plays and sings it with ease. I wonder if Bruce Cockburn even seen this video? If he has I'm sure he's proud of him.👍👍😇😇😇👼👼👼

Hi Randy. I love these Hedges videos! I was there sitting in the crowd at a couple of these and in fact once I taped the whole evening. It's long since lost during my divorce unfortunately. I was a friend of Keith Adams and knew your mother and you. A few times we met. I'm the photographer friend that was always hanging around. And thanks for being a big part of getting Van Morrison to play the New Varsity inside. I also enjoyed photographing that night. These videos capture such sweet memories almost dream like seeing them now after all these years so awesome.

I graduated high school in 1985 and I must've committed every note from that Windham Hill live and Red Rocks VHS to memory. Sure enough, William Ackerman mentions you as being the one who beckoned him to hear Michael Hedges for the first time at your theater! Crazy! I knew your name rang a bell! What an honor to make your acquaintance. It sounds like you really were a part of it all. What I would have done to have been there. I hope we can stay in touch.

Joe Roth I was a lucky guy, at the windham hill epicenter in palo alto. Will went to my alma mater, gunn high school, where i was classmates with his cousin de grassi. will exaggerates a little as i recall at red rocks. we were showing david hamilton's "billitis." The lines were long so he asked if i wouldn't comp him. I said sure, but first, please go check out the guitar player upstairs. he did and came down a half an hour later with a contract on a cocktail napkin. michael and i became good buddies. he collaborated on all of his videos here. nice to meet you! you might have to remind pierre who i am. i put micheal and pierre together for a show at the varsity, as you can see here.
