I saw Harry three times as a young man. Great concerts by a great man!
Some of my favorite times were going to Harry Chapin concerts with my bestest friend in the world. Miss you Harry. Miss you more Barbie.
I will never forget the night I was in a car and they announced his death. My best friend and I had just pulled the car in to another friends place, it was raining, and we were seconds away from turning the car off. The station announced his passing and played cat's in the cradle, and we sat there and both cried. It was an is a profound loss. too many songs left to sing.
I’ve had the tribute CD for many years but have never seen the video before. I’m 77 years old and got to see Harry in concert several times. Each time, after the concert he would hang around to talk with everyone, sign autographs and never be concerned with the time. I served 23 years in the Navy, the last half in the submarine service. The day I heard on the news that Harry had died I cried like a baby. Of course he was in a car accident on his way to a benefit concert he was giving. The world lost a true hero that day. I know I will be watching this clip many times. I am so grateful to you for posting it. Happy holidays and stay safe.
What a great story. This is by far my favorite tribute. I remember watching it with my best friend and taping it on the VCR. We loved his concerts.
Well stated, sir. Thank you for your service.
Pat Benetar's and Judy Collins vocals are amazing, amazing!
I was born well over a decade after this tribute but it still never fails to make me miss a man I never got to share this earth with
You missed a good one.
You never got oshare the earth with the man but you got to share the world with him.
You had so many more stories to tell Harry. You will forever be missed
Èssßßßsed
To this day still can't listen to Harry without feeling a profound sadness
One song, I'm okay. Beyond that ... still miss him like it was yesterday.
To this day no one sings Shooting star better
It's days like today that I need Harry. Though I was born in 1975, I can remember hearing Cat's in the Cradle for the first time when I was 7 or 8 years old in the Highbridge section of the Bronx here in NYC. I'm nearly 49 now with two sons of my own and that song has always been with me, teaching me. So you can say that I owe a lot to Harry. Thank you Harry wherever you are and thank you for posting this video.
Sometimes words can serve me well and sometimes words can go to hell. Pure genius
It is amazing how many people still seek you out, Harry. You are love and miss so much.
Pat Benatar’s version of “Shooting Star” never fails to send chills through my body. Absolutely magnificent. A holy tribute.
"Shooting Star" is one of the only two songs by Harry where I prefer someone else's cover to the original. The other one is "Last Stand" because, duh, Big John.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I love Harry Chapin, his music and his commitment to humanitarian efforts -- especially feeding the hungry. I play his music just about everyday and still miss him after all these years!
Have not seen this in full since 1987. Thank you SO much for sharing! We will never see the likes of this amazing man again. I'm just glad I was alive to enjoy his spirit when he was with us. And both Pat Benatar and "Shooting Star" have never sounded better. Awesome.
I remember watching this when it first aired back in 1987 on PBS. All of the performances were stellar. I truly enjoyed Bruce Springsteen explaining his connection to Harry with "Remember When The Music". That story on it's own could be made into a movie! Of course Hollywood really should make a bio pic of Harry!!!!
Nobody.....Nobody could tell a story like Harry Chapin. Nobody knew about emotions and feelings like Harry Chapin. There’s a line from one of his songs that just tears at my soul, and it goes like this. And then there is that neglice that is made for candle light. You know, I’ve never seen you wear it. Was it used on other nights.... What a powerful lyric.
Thank you so much for this.🥰😇
We used to watch this every time it was on our local PBS station pledge drives, so great.

Glad to see this clip. I had the Album/CD made a tape and drove around playing it with my boys back and forth from school. It was great because the stories in his songs and about him. It was also great to have the celebrities like, Harry Belafonte, Smothers Brothers, Pat Benatar, Bruce Springsteen were great and it introduced many artist to my sons. I'm not sure what they are listening too now but I hope it tells a story as well as Harry Chapin's.
This is the very best rendition of Mail Order Annie that I have heard. Who said he couldn’t sing. His voice was perfect in this song.
His Brother Steve. He was young. I’m sure he changed his mind over the years. He helped Harry with the Benefits as did Tom. I agree with you.
YES! Just ...Wow. Anyone who doubts his vocal power has a terrible perceptual deficit.
Awesome! This is well earned. Harry.
So very very grateful that I got to enjoy seeing him twice in concert.
I did a morning stint at a small college in northern New Jersey some years ago. I proudly used WOLD as an intro, both Harry’s and Richie’s rendition. Harry remains my mentor in life. I miss him dearly and I know the world needs him more with each passing day.
Brings tears to my eyes! I loved that guy.
I remeber watching this tribute on public tv I still get emotional listening to it
thank you PBS
I love Pat Benatar’s version of “Shooting Star” (starting at the 25:11 mark) and Richie Havens along with Harry Chapin’s brothers performing “W.O.L.D.” (starting at the 54:43 mark)
All the artists are excellent, but those two are my favorite. I purchased the CD and the DVD of this concert from the Harry Chaplin on-line store. They both (the CD and DVD) were excellent quality! I listen to them all the time. Sound much better than the low quality video on UA-cam. Although, I’d like to thank the people that posted this concert or I would have never known that it existed!
It is just amazing how many talented people there are in the world!
Pat's performance is my favorite too, always come back to watch it.
Those are my favorites also. It’s Riveting-whole Tribute. Thank You, I missed it in’87 but I’m enjoying it now. Miss Harry.
Agree about Pat Benatar although I wasn't quite as enamored of Richie's performance. I memorized Bruce's speech a number of years ago and also considered writing about it for a class in "Great American Speeches." I ended up playing it safe and choosing Barbara Bush's better-covered 1990 graduation speech at Wellesley. In my defense, I didn't (and, at age 18, couldn't) fully appreciate the magnitude of Bruce's words at the time.
The Pat Benatar version of Shooting Star is amazing.
Thank you so much for sharing this. A thousand times, "Thank you!!!"
The Hooters were amazing in this tribute.
He was to me as a teenager at the time, someone who was telling true - about relationships, life, the bullshit that is out there!
I remember hearing of Harry's Death. I was in Basic Training in the Air Force and I asked the training instructor if I could wear a black armband to mourn the death of one of my all time favorite Singer/Songwriters.. He just looked at me and said "Hell no, now get in there and scrub those toilets!" I guess he wasn't a fan..
Love Judy Collins's rendition of Cats In The Cradle!
Inspiring man.
HARRY was Great songwriter.......
..like Springsteen's first 2 albums by Appel.........
The day Harry died was one of those moments in my life you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing when you heard the news. I was on staff at a summer camp in North Carolina working in the camp's kitchen. The particular day, I was doing the last of the dishes listening to a local radio station when they interrupted a song with the news. I've been a fan of Harry's music since I was about 9 years old. I still have my first record albums (LPs) of "Verities and Balderdash" and "Living Room Suite".
To Mr Bell, the person that posted this video; while you claim no responsibility for this work, whoever did the editing (basically turning off and on a VHS recorder AS the program aired) has done a massive disservice to this tribute! The edits are horrid, at least four songs are simply interrupted and different songs are brought in, and from the credits at the end SEVERAL artists are just left out all together! It would have been MUCH preferred if they'd simply let the program run, PBS pledge drive breaks and all, than to butcher it as they did.
I had just bought a ticket to his show in Des Moines, went to work so pumped, then proceeded to learn of his death. I still have that ticket in a scrapbook.
Ron Stone-perhaps you would prefer Mr. Bell took this down.
@@TimOlsen100 Eh, even if I thought that would be a reasonable option, I doubt he would do so on the word of one person.
So, I accept there are flaws in the video and just appreciate the memories and enjoy the music.
Judy Collins............you know better than that. NEVER change the words to someone else song. Especially a tribute night.
Pat Benatar dos a phenomenal job.
Josh Chapin, I see your dad's face in yours. :)
Pat Benatar "Shooting Star" ...wow.
Yes. "Wow," is the perfect description.
I could listen to her singing the phone book.
26:34 wow indeed
I always wished she had released it. She would have gone supernova on the charts with it.
So similar yet different from Father and Son by Cat Stevens is Cats in the Cradle. Although they both end the same. Both songs are really special to me.
enjoyed the post but anoyed it had the little cuts and not the full full playthrough
Put Peter Paul and Mary back up please
31.35 The Hooters
Springsteen comes across arrogant. Smothers Brothers and Havens were great! The woman singing Tangled Up Puppet was the best version ever.
Judy Collins was wonderful as well
Judy Collins was a bit over the top,,.,, wasn't about you Judy. Why all the waving?
ThunderInTheSun Bruce is Catholic, not Jewish!
This jumps to much
