every now and then, when I have too much to process in my life and I just want to feel alive, I come back to this video. this performance is out of this world.
"oh i'll just put this Damien Rice session on in the background to listen to while I do some work..." one hour fourteen minutes later... oops I watched it all.
Honestly as a performing musician, I think this is one of the most profound and honest performances I have ever witnessed. We all strive in this craft to achieve that connection between song and artist and audience; the synergy that exists only in places where something special and genuine exists. I am touched and moved! I have always been a fan, but this is something more than even the usual Damien Rice experience.
J. Michael Bailey Very true. It is like he is just three centimeters away and I wanna hug him all the time. Sings like the most tallented, skilled and emotionally experienced guy. Just became better within the last years. Especially in the parts without Lisa he is just a lonesome survivor of a magic lovestory written by music and emotions. Unique piece of music.
Oliver William Quinn I was in Denver at Red Rocks last week, and he did the same version there, had the whole crowd in that magnificent red rocks amphitheater singing the different parts of the song and it was just unreal. What a beauty!!

I saw him perform at the Orpheum Theater in Memphis, TN in 2007, sans Lisa (this was right after they broke up), and then after the show my friend Adam and I managed to get backstage, along with about 30 other people. They wheeled in a big cooler full of bottled beer and water for us, set up a sound system and put some groovy music on, then Damien (all introspective and shy) and the band came and hung out with us for about an hour. My friend Adam, all dreadlocks and tattoos, had come with me to Memphis on a sort of Jeff Buckley pilgrimage (on the 10th anniversary of Buckley's death, there in Memphis where he drowned in the Mississippi River after only one glorious album). Adam, ever the indomitable extrovert, practically stalked Damien around the room. I actually turned my back and to compensate energetically. Adam worked up his courage and asked Damien outright if he might play something for us. This seemed kinda rude to me, as Damien had just given one hell of a concert, turbo-charged, no doubt, by the emotion of his recent split with Lisa - all of their previous vocal duets were now solos, etc. Damien said all his gear was already loaded up on another bus that had just left. Then Adam mentioned that we brought our instruments. Damien surprised us both and said go and get them. So we did. We ran 3 blocks to our car, got our instruments and ran back, and had to talk the doorman into letting us back in. Ha. Out of breath and full of adrenaline, I plucked tentatively at my guitar for a few minutes before Damien walked over and took Adam's ukelele to play along. It was horribly out of tune! Gah! (Typical Adam...) I held out my guitar to Damien, who demurred, until I told him what an profound honor it would be. He sat down and started playing the opening strains of "Cold Water," and the entire room instantly went silent, and everyone sat down, enraptured. Someone dimmed the lights further, way way down. I found a single string on Adam's uke that was in tune and played some subtle accompaniment. Damien then played "Amie." What a voice! He filled the large room with such warm sound. It was truly amazing. Transcendent. And then... with an implicit nod to our Buckley pilgrimage, he played "Hallelujah," Buckley's most loved and well-known rendition of a Leonard Cohen song. Almost everyone sang along, albeit rather timidly. There was one verse Damien couldn't remember, so he cycled the chords a few times and looked at me and I fed him the next line: "You're faith was strong but you needed proof." Needless to say, as my effusive and ebullient description must surely convey, it was an immensely cool experience. And my guitar is all the more precious to me now. (It has also been played by Joseph Arthur and Sean Hayes, two of my other favorite living musicians and songwriters.) Afterwards, I thanked Damien in a heartfelt but casual way, and everyone dispersed, but not before nearly everyone offered words of deep appreciation to both me and Adam for making it happen. The more I thought about it, in the days and weeks to follow, the more I came to think that Damien must have needed that extra bit of communion as much or more than we did. With a few exceptions, that was one of the last tours Damien has done until now. So very glad to have him back. :-D
Sam Johnston well done man! I think he really loves music and connecting with people, he's defo not a money machine or a fake radical chic or anything of that kind. Hopefully he will keep walking on this pattern
+Marsen Fekaj oi! have you ever met him? he is a masterpiece in many ways, but don't overdo it :P he's still just human with a slightly inflated ego; but to perform like this does require an unsurpassed ability to surrender to the moment. That in itself denotes humility
Rewatching this for the umpteenth time and ya know, a big shout out to the camera operator. Crowd work. Focus on the drummer. Catching Damien and the outdoor crowd. Hard to capture the spirit of an event and they did that masterfully as a fly on the wall. Kudos for giving us this experience well told.
THANK YOU, DAMIAN RICE. THANK YOU, EARL HARVIN. THANK YOU, HANNA LEESE AND TOM OSANDER! AND THANK YOU TO MICHELBERGER HOTEL! BRILLIANT GENEROSITY ALL ROUND! I FEEL VERY LUCKY AND GRATEFUL!
Are you fucking kidding me!!!! This is a once and a lifetime type concert, and to top it off, Damien was amazing! I would have flown from Minnesota to see this, no question! Thanks for posting for the rest of us!
I met the drummer through a mutual friend once in Dallas about 25 years ago when he had his own jazz band, The Earl Harvin Trio. Wondered what happened to him, and here he is. I’ve never seen a percussionist who could play off the energy of others, including the crowd, like he can. Damien Rice is pretty good too.
Earl is outstanding!! You can tell he constantly feels Damian out to match his intensity and not take away from the performance as a whole. This is incredible. Absolutely amazing 👏🏻👏🏻
Sat in a hall in Limerick (Ireland) in 1997 and watched Damien grow and flourish. Amazing, emotional, truthful, complicated is what this lad brings to the mic and the guitar and the audiences are on the end of a string watching the magic unfold. This concert puts the goose pimples to the fore.
I watched/listened this performance tons of times but only lately I started to appreciate the drummer's amazing work. We all know how insanely great Damien Rice is, let's give that drummer a cookie too :)

I wish I could see Damien in a small cozy place like that once. And I would happily keep topping up his red wine. He's such an extraordinary musician. He feels music as not many songwriters nowadays. To see Damien and Glen Hansard play together in a small pub in Dublin would be a dream come true.
i'm a 19 year old girl who is deeply in love with damien rice. he speaks poetry and i find it really beautiful. it's hard to find anyone that appreciates him nor even know him. i've played this video to listen to him in this version so many times but never really watched it . so, im just writing this because i noticed a man. TO THE MAN (i doubt he will even see this ) singing to " I dont want to change you " ; i have fallen in love with you. i've never seen a man look so beautiful singing to a song (apart from damien rice himself)
@@julioartemus3789 i am still in love with him, and always will be ( favourite song is "back to her man". and i do have 2 of his songs tattooed on me :) damien sings with his heart and soul. i love trying to interpret the real meaning behind his songs.
None of my friends truly recognize or appreciate the genius and sheer unadulterated talent of this amazing man; I went to his recent shows alone. Sure is nice to come on UA-cam and commune with all the other drooling fanatics. :)
alienbaby09 i made many mistakes not going to shows because none of my friends wanted. I would never forgive myself if miss the chance of seeing him live. What a fucking one man show (almost) he did here in Portugal few years ago. And of course I MET him! Talked with him for about half hour, even said to him he made a crime not to wait a few years more to record the second album... He looked at me and said: you know Marco, I agree with you because now I realize that...
I don't know why I like this artist so much. I remember first hearing him, and being woken up by it. I remember thinking to myself that it was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. This was back when I didn't know what it was to love romantically or had felt the bite of it. Not a child and barely a woman - I didn't understand. As I grew - imagination filled into understanding and its never lost this charm. Rather, the transparency of the mystery made it all the more dear. To me, this is the best kind of magic. Thanks for sharing this video, and I'm so happy that he's touring & recording again!
I adore damien rice, such a talent and an amazing voice, just so stunning, powerful, gentle, soft and hard all in the same verse! And now over 10 years since his last album, surely another one is well overdue now?❤❤❤
this video was recoreded when I was 15, and now I am watching it at 25:)))) this truly feels amazing. Winter, Sunday evening raining outside. thanks for this jam:)
Saw him tonight at Sydney, felt like seeing an old lover after a decade. Raw emotions translated to most beautiful musical performance. Bravo Damien 🎉👌
To +Earl Harvin (drummer) the way u followed and complimented Damien when he went insane in the depth of his feel in the music was fantastic ! especially from 35:00 your exceptional way of attempting to read Damien's mind as to what he will do next is fabulous! i must give u props for that and i must get my Swan, my drummer to watch it. Congrats again.
The first time I saw Earl Harvin was 2000 with "the the" at the Cabaret Metro in Chicago. It was then standing there watching him play I was completely blown away. From that moment on I followed him. He is truly one of the finest drummers I have ever seen or heard.
This is what defines a good drummer. Not the flashy solos , but the energy they put in their drums and how well they manage to follow the others while still being the master of tempo.
I used to listen to this while I was feeling low, while being sad, while being desperate. Now life is better and I come back to it just to remember about those feelings, to feel them again but from a better place. I guess there is something (bitter-)sweet in sadness. For me Damien Rice and John Frusciante are unmatched in terms of raw emotion they manage to express, will never get tired of them. they will melt and break my heart forever
Remarkable talent, masterful use of a single battered old guitar, deep sensitive lyrics, unique vocals, intimate setting, sympathetic drums. Wow - glad I found this on YT
Earl Harvin is wonderful. Not many visitors will have known him... A session drummer, living in Berlin. Love the way he pulls his shoulders at 26:50. A drummer who feels the music in his finger tops.
Ive known him for a long time but never listened to a live concert. So I decided to take few bottle of wine and listen to him. Best decision ever. Its like: alcohol doesnt make you feel more, but it helps, and when it reaches climax, you are feeling every note and word he is saying. I wont say any more word but ENJOY. For sure i’ll go to a concert from him. Lovely and lovely. (I’m from Spain and my english is not the best, but I tried). HAVE A GOOD, REALLY GOOD TIME💜
52:10-54:00 is insane! I love Damien to death, but Earl too! He's something else. Seriously. He puts so much flavor into those drums, so creative...speechless.
I’m a HSP. Throughout my life there’s so much that makes me feel intensely, music is one of them. I love music and what it delivers. I have my faves but goodness, Damien Rice and his works are at the top of my list. He hits every cord within myself. What a creative, imaginative, soulful being. Much gratitude for him and this upload 😊
I’m Irish and living in Dublin. We don’t see Damien enough ! . This is such an amazing concert. Thank you for recording it . I dip back into it every six months or so .
I must have watched this at least a thousand times now & it never gets old. When I'm on my own & playing my guitar along to this, I go somewhere else & it's a place I wish I could live, it's that nice & serene there.
I had several friends listen to Damien and they always said his songs made them feel depressed. I don't know why but that has not been the case with me. I feel like there is a therapeutic quality to his voice and lyrics. It provides a catharsis of sorts, like having emotions buried deep within your soul released in a torrent. So, you sit there in semi darkness mesmerized by this man who can so eloquently express feelings you didn't even know you had. It's like being in therapy; only, someone else was doing all the talking while you're sitting there just nodding your head in agreement. After I've listened to him for at least an hour or two, I feel like I've had a good emotional workout and I'm ready to dance to upbeat songs like "Shape of You."
I'll never forget seeing him at the Ryman in Nashville, and you could tell much of the audience didn't know him(the Ryman gets a lot of Ryman-goers and tourists who just want to see any show there) but as soon as he opened the show like this man...you could have heard a pin drop the whole way through. Also storytime, the guy in front of us was totally on a date gone terribly wrong. The girl went to the restroom somewhere toward the beginning of the show...and never came back. Poor guy sat there fuming and heartbroken and stuck listening to some of the saddest heartbreak songs for another 2 hours!

yes, around the35:oo minutes the drummer is so talented and so good.
@@olajuawonbell7370 Awesome, they are so in synch, its incredible!
Who unliked this? Jealousy....this is one of the best artist of all time!
Its one thing to write beautiful words, another to sing them, and then theres this. Majesty. When you can do both AND mean them. Perfection.
I don't know why I like this artist so much.
I remember first hearing him, and being woken up by it. I remember thinking to myself that it was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. This was back when I didn't know what it was to love romantically or had felt the bite of it. Not a child and barely a woman - I didn't understand. As I grew - imagination filled into understanding and its never lost this charm. Rather, the transparency of the mystery made it all the more dear. To me, this is the best kind of magic.
Thanks for sharing this video, and I'm so happy that he's touring & recording again!
Awww thanks so much
I like you too and keep listening
I've watched this concert many times and it never gets old. Great performance, great crowd and get venue! Earl is a beast on the skins!
Hope you're still watching ❤
Listening to this video since the top comments here were months old. Now they are years. time flies
And now he's coming to Nepal! How about that!?
And even years after your comment ❤
I adore damien rice, such a talent and an amazing voice, just so stunning, powerful, gentle, soft and hard all in the same verse! And now over 10 years since his last album, surely another one is well overdue now?❤❤❤
this video was recoreded when I was 15, and now I am watching it at 25:)))) this truly feels amazing. Winter, Sunday evening raining outside. thanks for this jam:)
I'm so jealous of the people there : ( i love him
I love you too 😘
Saw him tonight at Sydney, felt like seeing an old lover after a decade. Raw emotions translated to most beautiful musical performance. Bravo Damien 🎉👌
l saw Damien yesterday evening at Coliseu in Lisbon. Fantastic concert alone in the stage.
Também estava lá.Espetacular a parte do Bernardo!
+Gonçalo Trindade
O Bernardo fez um bom backing vocals.
Muito bem!
To +Earl Harvin (drummer)
the way u followed and complimented Damien when he went insane in the depth of his feel in the music was fantastic !
especially from 35:00
your exceptional way of attempting to read Damien's mind as to what he will do next is fabulous!
i must give u props for that
and i must get my Swan, my drummer to watch it.
Congrats again.
The first time I saw Earl Harvin was 2000 with "the the" at the Cabaret Metro in Chicago. It was then standing there watching him play I was completely blown away. From that moment on I followed him. He is truly one of the finest drummers I have ever seen or heard.
cool Edwin Hernandez
omg yea man....Earl Harvin did an amazing job. Loved how he seems to immerse himself wif the music and den goes wif it. Cheers Earl :D
I was thinking he is feeling the music well lol he's pretty cool!
Well, I agree... but from ua-cam.com/video/4Yit1OqUfMg/v-deo.html proves it.
that drummer was SO in sync with him during 9 crimes! so impressive!
Audrey Fulham you look like that and are a Damien Rice fan? perfect ;)
Especially since it's pretty clear before they started that they didn't have any plan/practice to play the song beforehand.
This is what defines a good drummer. Not the flashy solos , but the energy they put in their drums and how well they manage to follow the others while still being the master of tempo.

Give that drummer a fokin' medal!
Indeed! On the spot, such control of volume, complements the songs with class...incredible.
I was not aware drummers were capable of this excellence.
Right?!
Unbelievable
Still so incredibly solid! Tasteful and insanely aware of what's going on. I wish every drummer could be this solid!
C'mon man. He's just playing some easy work with brushes. Put your boner away.
Still listening to this in 2022? I miss good music !
This is one of the most beautiful musical performances to exist
I used to listen to this while I was feeling low, while being sad, while being desperate. Now life is better and I come back to it just to remember about those feelings, to feel them again but from a better place. I guess there is something (bitter-)sweet in sadness.
For me Damien Rice and John Frusciante are unmatched in terms of raw emotion they manage to express, will never get tired of them. they will melt and break my heart forever
Care
One of the best songwriters of recent times: refined, elegant, sweet, tender. In one word: SUPERLATIVE. I am glade to have known him.
One of the greatest writers, poets, artists and musicians of all time… 💗💗💗
by the wa he was the role model for ed sheerin, witout damien rice no ed sheerin
i hope he never stops
Does anybody trip, amongst the other cool parts of this, on the train going by outside the window. Slice of life, Beautiful.
God nows how often I've watched this. Genius. One of the best sets of all time.
Please please please release a new album. You are a god.
Remarkable talent, masterful use of a single battered old guitar, deep sensitive lyrics, unique vocals, intimate setting, sympathetic drums. Wow - glad I found this on YT
What a set. First time seeing it. What a gem
what a performance on drums too
still the best video in youtube
Damn, he's good.
The Blower's Daughter is a masterpiece of music and writing. It will always be my favorite.
I live in Berlin, it is warm and beautiful outside, but I am sitting home watching this. (probably for the third time now)
I just love "elephant" it moves something inside me that tells me that I'm alive
been listening to these for like the 25th time
This is my most favorite youtube video so far! What a set!
Earl Harvin is wonderful.
Not many visitors will have known him... A session drummer, living in Berlin.
Love the way he pulls his shoulders at 26:50.
A drummer who feels the music in his finger tops.
Doctor: You have an hour and 13 minutes and 52 seconds to live.
Me: Listens to this
Ive known him for a long time but never listened to a live concert. So I decided to take few bottle of wine and listen to him. Best decision ever. Its like: alcohol doesnt make you feel more, but it helps, and when it reaches climax, you are feeling every note and word he is saying. I wont say any more word but ENJOY.
For sure i’ll go to a concert from him. Lovely and lovely. (I’m from Spain and my english is not the best, but I tried). HAVE A GOOD, REALLY GOOD TIME💜
Chloe Brown same
Legit honest reply!!!!
That's a very precise doctor you're consulting. :D
And then a UA-cam ad pops up on the last minute. Lol
52:10-54:00 is insane! I love Damien to death, but Earl too! He's something else. Seriously. He puts so much flavor into those drums, so creative...speechless.
You said it!
I’m a HSP. Throughout my life there’s so much that makes me feel intensely, music is one of them. I love music and what it delivers. I have my faves but goodness, Damien Rice and his works are at the top of my list. He hits every cord within myself. What a creative, imaginative, soulful being. Much gratitude for him and this upload 😊
I've come back and watched this version of "Volcano" so many times. You can feel the energy in the room. One day I will see Damien Rice live.
I’m Irish and living in Dublin. We don’t see Damien enough ! . This is such an amazing concert. Thank you for recording it . I dip back into it every six months or so .
God damn he has the voice of an Irish dude angel. Been a fan for 12 years.
And I hope you're still a fan ❤
Hope you've been a fantastic 20 years now ❤
How does listening to him always make me feel better and worse at the same time? He thoroughly stabbed me into the soul there again.
I must have watched this at least a thousand times now & it never gets old. When I'm on my own & playing my guitar along to this, I go somewhere else & it's a place I wish I could live, it's that nice & serene there.
LOL, WHY THESE PEOPLE STAND SO CALM? IF I WAS THERE I WAS PROBABLY SCREAMING, SINGING, AND CRYING AT THE SAME TIME !!!! LOVE YOU DAMIEN!
Holy shit. Brilliant.
..
Why his album isn't being named the best of the year is beyond me!
I had several friends listen to Damien and they always said his songs made them feel depressed. I don't know why but that has not been the case with me. I feel like there is a therapeutic quality to his voice and lyrics. It provides a catharsis of sorts, like having emotions buried deep within your soul released in a torrent. So, you sit there in semi darkness mesmerized by this man who can so eloquently express feelings you didn't even know you had. It's like being in therapy; only, someone else was doing all the talking while you're sitting there just nodding your head in agreement. After I've listened to him for at least an hour or two, I feel like I've had a good emotional workout and I'm ready to dance to upbeat songs like "Shape of You."
Well said
I'll never forget seeing him at the Ryman in Nashville, and you could tell much of the audience didn't know him(the Ryman gets a lot of Ryman-goers and tourists who just want to see any show there) but as soon as he opened the show like this man...you could have heard a pin drop the whole way through.
Also storytime, the guy in front of us was totally on a date gone terribly wrong. The girl went to the restroom somewhere toward the beginning of the show...and never came back. Poor guy sat there fuming and heartbroken and stuck listening to some of the saddest heartbreak songs for another 2 hours!
Damn I feel bad for him. Atleast stay to hear the music. Say no later.
Hope you still remember! All the best ❤
I'm just so grateful i can put the CD on and listen to Damien and Lisa whenever I want.
We're*
@@amartyasingh6295 We're?
@@sparko2012 haha I meant we all are!
@@amartyasingh6295 ah OK, I thought you were trying to spell check me.
@@sparko2012 definitely not, you can never be mean to a fellow Eskimo friend
love your soul ... I love the fire in your eyes ... I love when you play the guitar ... I love when you are yourself ...you are beautiful ...
How perfect would be to have a quarentine live by him
All kinds of great!
Thanks to he hero that captured this.
I'm watching this show for the thousandth time, is espetacular!
shame on you , i watch this millions time
Perfection.
Oh my gosh. This recording of I Don't Want To Change You really brought it to life for me. Amazing performance. Wish I could see Damien live.
I have been coming back to this every year for the last 8 years!
this is just magic... wow, pure magic
