The way the pit orchestra subtly enters is really cool. I think they come in while the trumpet is carrying the melody (after Donnie's verse), but they're not really noticeable until the bridge (where you can hear the strings on top).

I will never get over the fact that I had tickets to see this on tour and never got to see it

new favorite clip of aaron 💀

if anyone is curious he hits an Eb5 in this 😂

In the scene right before this, the boys are all wearing jackets and ties with their shirts buttoned to the collar. In this scene, they’ve all undone their collars so you can see their dog tags. One of my favorite details.

so sad this show shut down. I had a private q and a with laura osnes. That is her one regret

Tveiiiittttt❤❤

I have watched the entire show about 10 times and have listened to this song and the closing song to the first act by Donny at least 20 times each. I have yet to make it to the end of either song without tearing up, especially Laura's closing Welcome Home. My father was a soldier in WWII but never saw combat because of a disability. The best man at his wedding fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Another friend of theirs fought in Korea. I had friends serve in Vietnam. Any one of these wars could have been the basis for this play because every one produced soldiers with these issues; whether you call is battle fatigue, shell shock or PTSD. My father, his friends and my friends from Vietnam never discuss what it was like in combat. It took my father's best man until the late 1950s to be able to sleep in a room with other people, including his wife, because of the nightmares.

This song and their acting scratches an itch in my brain

Great video. Amazing performance

When was this??

Donny's tags falling out of his shirt by the end of the song is always such a good little detail I'm glad I've noticed. It just,,,, I dunno I feel like there is a lot of symbolism in it that I can't find a way to articulate.

Why was this such a short run 166 performances? Did Covid and the Pandemic shut it down? Love this show!

So incredibly beautiful!

Love the rushing rapids of the piano and his voice on this take. Super talented singer; really exceptional performance here, and in all live clips I have seen.

Great song - but oh well, Laura Osnes - life comes at you FAST!

Literally one of the best musicals to ever exist… she’s my dream role but I could never 🥲

I never really got the part about Jimmy until I found a deleted scene that made clear he is gay and lost his partner in the war. It makes so much sense now that his part is strangely vague compared to the others. His story couldn’t be told without endangering him

The anger and despair behind that saxophone solo is insane. I don't think that this musical is great, but the payoff for this finale is, in my opinion, one of the greatest in Broadway history.

I just met Laura like 10 mins ago here in Kelowna BC. She’s the sweetest human being!! ❤️

My father fought in WW2. He never told me about the horrible things that he witnessed. I was fortunate to see this show during its Broadway run. It shed a lot of light on understanding my father better. The emotion in Laura’s beautiful singing voice is incredible. Everyone did a great job on this performance.

Johnny made it home Most of him at least Had three operations But the pain has not decreased Nick learned to survive, means you never trust Once you see the worst in man then how do you adjust? Davy cracks a joke, claims to be alright Drinks a fifth of vodka in his kitchen every night And I stand here trying Like Mother Mary with my private burden of grief to carry Welcome home my boys Welcome home my sons Welcome home my husband Welcome home my love Welcome home, welcome home Welcome home Wayne is never free, schedules out his day Filling every minute just to keep the ghosts away He could never get back the life he had Faced with raising kids who did not recognize their dad Jimmy made it back to town four months ago Lived to tell of things no one could bear to know Keeps his guard up now a lot goes undiscussed Focuses on fighting what he finds unjust Welcome home my boys Welcome home my sons Welcome home my husband Welcome home my love Welcome home, welcome home Welcome home Donny does his best, trying to pretend What he doesn't talk about won't matter in the end Donny made it home but thinks it wasn't fair How he made it out but left his buddy there Donny doesn't sleep because the nightmares come Donny wants an answer Donny looks for absolution And I would give up anything if I could give him some If I stand here helpless, my arms extended Knowing full well, darling, your war's not ended Welcome home Welcome home my husband Welcome my love Welcome home, welcome home Welcome home my boys Welcome home my sons Welcome home my husband Welcome home my love Welcome home Welcome home Welcome home

1:27 The subtle yet prevalent acting of the band members is astounding. Just look at the trombone player's reaction after Julia says "faced with raising kids who did not recognize their dad"

Got the chills! Such a good song! Such emotion!

The way they all interact with her and the lyrics just makes this masterpiece that much better💕

Anyone else get literal chills every time?

I was thrilled to see this show on Broadway. Amazing!

I love how it feels almost as if every one in the song is on the edge of insanity. I love how unlike other musicals since every instrument has a character behind it every instrument has emotion and sorrow and anger out behind it as well. All of them displaying the characters’ struggles through music. It’s just beautifully heart breaking.

Still have never seen the full musical but I’m still obsessed

Oh wow this is so much more emotional than on the cast recording

james nathan hopkins didnt have to go that hard, but he did that 🙌🏻

I saw Bandstand in previews, it was the first Broadway musical I ever saw after years and years of local and community theater. It's a funny little show in that I didn't like it that much composition-wise. There were lots of moments where the show felt incomplete or where the transitions were odd. But I swear it's been 3 years and it has yet to give up its grasp on my heart. This song gives me the shivers like my body is remembering what it felt like to sit and cry in that theater. Anyway...

This performance makes me cry every single time. It's so powerful

This song is still one of the greatest songs written for the theater. It's a hard song to sing too!

It's so sad that he can sing higher than me and he is a middle aged man. I'm a teenage girl.😑

That's Bonnie Parker

could you imagine a mashup of this song and "Come Back" from Dogfight? Oh my goodness I'd be a puddle of tears.

I absolutely adore this song because you can see and hear all the emotions with each actor. For example, when it gets to Donny's part you can tell he's just trying to focus on the music and keeps the thoughts and emotions of war out of his mind. Also, the fact that they had mutes in their instruments was a really nice touch.
