Ron Grinel, drums; Tom Kelly, bass and vocals; Denny Henson, piano, acoustic guitar and vocals and Doug Livingston, pedal steel (I've been informed by Dave Pearlman, that he played pedal steel and Richard Bowden played guitar- I don't remember where I saw the credits but I have no way of verifying this so I will list all for the listener to sort out)
THE VENUE
The Capitol Theatre was an entertainment venue located at the intersection of Monroe Street and Central Avenue in Passaic, New Jersey. Built in 1926 as a vaudeville house, the Capitol later served as a movie theater (in its later years a XXX movie theatre) and (after John Scher bought the property) a venue for rock concerts.
Throughout the 1970s and into the mid-1980s, the 3,200 seat theatre was a popular stop on nearly every major rock artist's tour. The venue was known for its in house video system which resulted in a number of good quality, black and white video bootlegs. After it closed, the building fell into disrepair and it was demolished in April 1991. A shopping center known as Capitol Plaza occupies the site now.

Please NEVER take this video down
THANK YOU SO MUCH... WE HARD CORE FANS WHO HAVE BEEN WITH HIM SINCE THE 70'S ARE SURE THIS IS A TREASURE
Way YES!
I'm fighting prostate cancer myself. Dan's was very aggressive and he had one of the best cancer centers in the world in Boston. Men: get your PSA number ASAP. Even if you're young, you need a baseline. Don't delay. I have a chance because my team and I caught it early because I had a PSA test earlier than most guys and we could see a trend. Again, men, get your PSA test!
Because of your post I will. Now, please tell us you’re doing better. Thanks
This is pretty astounding. I was at this concert. I sat in the 3rd row and took still photos. My friend recorded it with a cassette recorder in her purse and we had every single moment of this concert memorized. We listened to it hundreds of times. It's incredible to see it all here after all these decades.
I was there as well. It was one of the best nights ever! Thank you for sharing. What a memory.
In the spring of 77 I saw Dan in Chicago. It was shortly after the release of Netherlands. My god I was captivated. I became a life long fan. I also had prostate cancer that was treated in September 2001. I am thankful to have had so many more years to listen to his songs. Ever On.
What venue did you him in Chicago? I saw him at an outside venue in a Northwest suburb of Chicago and can’t remember the year yet his was one of the best concerts I’ve ever attended. His acoustic section is when he played Leader of the band, Old Land Syne, closing with Run for the Roses. He was a musical magician having entranced the entire audience. Throughout each song there was no talking and so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The only other concert I’ve attended where the audience was so enthralled was seeing Segovia in Chicago on his final tour. Early on he thought he made a mistake, stopped, apologized then returned to his performance. How humble to identify a minor incident of notes only he was aware of to stop and apologize to us. This musician was a grand master of the classic guitar.
A rare and singular talent who provided the soundtrack to a time in my life, and who continues to influence my own songwriting and playing. Taken from us far too soon. The country boy from Illinois. Thanks for posting this!
I heard he lived in Peoria and moved to Nederland Colorado and I lived in Boulder Colorado and moved near Peoria. But then I guess he took off to Maine! Nederland was such a fascinating place I always wanted to live there.
Have to share a memory....At one of the concerts I attended, Dan was sitting at the piano and began to play the intro to "Same Old Lang Syne." The audience responded with an excited murmur. Dan kept tinkling away on the piano and said, "This is probably the song I get asked about the most. People wonder if this really happened to me." He paused and said, "Naw, it is just a song I wrote." There was a huge groan/sigh of disappointment from the crowd as obviously so many connect with this song and the belief that Dan was writing about his own experience. He let the disappointment sink in and then said, "Just kidding!" and launched into the song. A very special and poignant moment for all in attendance.
Great story!
I too had the privilege of seeing Dan, on the NETHERLANDS tour at the Blossom near Cleveland, Ohio. He opened with NETHERLANDS and one other song on piano, asking the audience to please quiet down, that there would be lots of time to rock when the band came out. He did one song on acoustic guitar and the audience was still yapping for rock. He was visibly upset and SLAMMED his guitar in a stand. It rung out over the audience as he walked to the mike. Aside from the ringing of the guitar, you could hear a pin drop as he said "I'll be back with the band" in disgust. It was a moment I will never forget, and in spite of the audience, he came back out and tore the place apart. He was brilliant...
I'd give just about anything to have heard him do Netherlands live!
mulemusic sensitive artist
+mulemusic i also attended that concert!!
Thanks for this insight. His solo performances are the music I cherish most.
@@LosBomberoArtist can be temperamental as that is part of the personality and I think it is disrespectful of the audience to do that at the concert ! Rude of the audience actually. I have seen other famous musicians/ singer/songwriters be upset with the audience while beginning to sing a ballad ! It took me back a bit by the way he said to the audience to stop the yelling but then understand why they felt the need to say it !!
Awesome!!! I named my oldest son after him My son passed away last year at age 29. Wish we could have seen Dan Fogelberg in concert together, I think he would have liked it!!
bless your heart... I'm sure your son is with Dan fishing and strumming at the campfire.
Cynthia Long I named my son after Eric Clapton, whom he never saw before passing at age 26. Every time I hear EC, Cream, Derek & the Doms, Blind Faith... my heart melts, but I thank Clapton for the tunes (esp Tears in Heaven!).
Cynthia Long I lost my first son at 16. I always felt Dan had something special. Above the commercial music scene. Sorry for your loss.
+Cynthia Long Sorry...
+Cynthia Long God Bless You and Your Clan............you'll always be connected
Thank you so much for sharing. Dan had not contemporaries in my opinion. He had the technical chops, the voice and the poetry of an ancient bard!
Haunting! I had forgotten how much I loved his music. Almost like sneaking a peek into the heavens and hearing him perform for the angels. Thanks for sharing this!
This excellent video didn't happen all by itself and all Dan Fans have Gene Tourangeau to thank for putting it together and loading it up. RIP Gene....
Thanks for sharing that truth . We really appreciate the effort and completion of the task. A sweet gift to all the fans

A POET OF MANY TALENTS! I MISS YOU.😢
2024
It's November 2024 and I still like to watch this video. Thank you for sharing your message, I didn't realize before. RIP Gene
This is BAD ASS. RIP Dan~
While I have posted these feelings before, I must give Thanks to Dan for allowing me, to share his fear during his early days. It was a concert @ Rich Stadium in the early 70's. He followed Seals n Croft, the stadium was rocking. Dan came on and started with a ballad. The crowd ignored him. It was then that, we connected visually. The fear in his eyes was almost palatable. He stopped playing. Suddenly, the fear disappeared and he broke out with Part of the Plan.....the rest is history. RIP Dan.
Gene, hard to find the right words watching this!!! Priceless.. Dan in concert in 1976.. I am mesmerized. I fell in love with his music in Fall 1975. I love his early music.. He was one of the best songwriter- singers we will ever have. No one writes or sings like him. He played so many instruments and just always blew me away when I had the pleasure to see him in person. It is a bit hard, still, for me to watch him.. he is missed so so much.. Thank you this priceless video. EVER ON.
Ditto
Thank you for his music am😢sad that he left us early.
The beauty in his creative genius just floors me. I wish I could have seen him live!!!!!!!! Just fascinated with his music...!
I saw Dan on this tour in Chicago at the Auditorium Theater. To say I'm a fan is not saying it . I'd have his new LPs soon as I could get my hands on them, and put the precious vinyl on my turntable, and sit with the jacket and lyrics...just taking everyone note, every chord. How did he know what my life was about, what she and I were saying - doing, just how I felt?
There are tunes like The Last Nail (Laurie), Ever On, As The Raven Plays, Wysteria, Netherlands, Innocent Age, Scarecrow's Dream, and Dan talks about "Lessons Learned", how stunning is that tune, and he was apparently working on it.
To say Dan's music will be missed is to not say enough. The waiting for his next album is gone from our lives. Ever On friends. Smile. Ron K.
I did the same..except I had the luxury of working in a record store... Vinyl days......Home Free, Then Souvenirs ( I replace twice) What great music I had to grow up on..!!!!
Gidday there. I am in Australia. I can't believe this has been uploaded. I dreamt to see footage of this vintage. Thanks mate. You made my day.
I got hooked on Fogelberg in the mid 70's. I saw him live 3 times and have all of his albums through the mid 80's. He left us much too soon, and coincidentally ten years to the day after one of my favorite female musicians...Nicholette Larson, whom I was also fortunate enough to see live before she left us. Their music will live on forever.
I am in New Jersey, this is my first concert, in the past few years I've made 100 of tribute videos featuring Dan's music from "Home Free" to "Love In Time", trying to bring the imagery beauty of his music for the world to see, may his legacy ever on...thanks for sharing the treasure memory
Thanks sooo much, “to the morning” has sooo many stunning images that I enjoy my off days starting, not just listening, but watching too!
Great way to start each day!
You also have a wonderful gift
An eye for a scene that fits with many others a fine collage that wakes my every sense! 🥰👍
He's truly stunned to hear an audience member request "Lessons Learned."
Multi-universe right there. An example of space/time manipulation. Interesting? Ahh, yes.
Dan noticed it was his mother who made the request.
I thought that he was kidding about his mom.
We need music like this today 2021.....he was a true musician/songwriter 😌
There's nothing like this anymore. The 70s became progressively deeper until towards the end when garbage took over and got progressively worse. It was like a nightmare. The thoughtful music disappeared. It became all about being weird and showy. It seems like some evil got hold of the music. I remember how heavy my heart was when the music changed so much. And that kind of depth never came back. Dan was on the leading edge of spiritual and philosophical expression. Glad he found his place in the Sun and I found him. So rare to find anyone that appreciated him or even knew of him. So glad to have these recordings!!!
Saw him live in Ames, Iowa a long time ago. One of the BEST concerts in my life. On Halloween and they were in costumes. The crowd called him back for FIVE encores and wanted another......just F%&#ing amazing. Songwriter extraordinaire and a multi-talented musician. Gone too soon.
The next night he was in Lincoln, NE. I was in 3rd row at Devaney Center. A friend of mine saw it in Ames and gave me a 'heads up' about how good it was. GREAT show. Gone WAY too soon.
I can attest, it is Dave Pearlman playing pedal-steel with Fools Gold (we went to the same high school). These early concerts of Fogelberg are difficult to watch and listen to, he died so young, it hurts so much. Dan - RIP.
So profoundly sad that his creative voice is gone......I have his physical on my CD...and cherish morsels such as those above... I am so grateful that Dan Fogelberg existed in my lifetime!
Wife & I saw Dan in Aug '77 at the Universal Amphitheater high in the Hollywood Hills. The sound was unbelievably crystal clear. Dan strode out, all dressed in white & sat down at a white piano and dove into Netherlands. Woah, heckuva way to start. He did close to an hour solo all acoustic. After a brief intermission he & Fool's Gold came out for the electric set. About 2/3 of the way through it he called up good friend Don Felder to join in. He played the rest of the set. What a concert...one for the ages.
Such a rare treasure - gone but never forgotten...
Perfection in performance,perfectionist in all things. Master song smith and musician. The unsung hero,there will never be another.
I simply cannot get enough of this talented man's music.
rip Dan ~ thoughts of you and your music brings tears rolling down my face. You knew how to reach the depths of the soul. I will be forever grateful for your music. What a gift you are/were ~
Gene, who are you and how do you have this!? We were there. This was maybe the second time my BFF and I saw DF. If memory serves, I believe the first was when he opened for the Eagles. I would go so far as to say we were groupies... probably saw him over 50 times after that. We were kids and he was our world. And we snuck a cassette recorder into the Capital that night (and many after that! I have quite a bootleg collection somewhere LOL shhhh!) and have probably listened to this hundreds of times on that little tinny cassette player. My BFF was a photographer, and would sneak her camera in, too. I'd forgotten about all the intermittent comments he made, and his interactions with the audience. At one point, we had every second of this concert memorized note for note, comment for comment. As I watch this, it all comes flooding back. I'm floored. Totally floored. Thank you for posting this!!! He got me through more tough times that I can remember, and continues to do so in my old age. This is making me feel young and old at the same time. Only hope that he knows how he effected so many of us.
There is a song called Lessons Learned off the "Nether Lands" album, which was recorded in May 1977. This convert was recorded March 20, 1976. Go to the 24:02 mark of the concert and listen to the LEGENDARY exchange Dan has with someone in the audience. Remarkable!! you just don't see people interact with their fans like this any more. Fogelber loved his fans ... and, of course, vice versa.
Thank you, Gene. Saw Dan at Red Rocks, Colorado circa 1980, when I was in college at Regis. It was a benefit concert for Gary Hart for President. Wow, did he choose badly and waste that money. It was the best concert I ever saw, though. This video brought those memories flooding back, along with one of the first dates with my wife at his concert in Poplar Creek, Illinois. (married 26 years now). I feel sorry for my kids, that they don't get music like this anymore. Romantic, but yet masculine. Spiritual, philosophical, but not doctrinaire We were so blessed to have him.
Steven, I saw Dan at Poplar during the "Exiles" tour...July 14th, 1987 (my ticket was $17.50...ahh, the good ol' days :- ).. He is one of my musical heroes (with John Denver) and I miss his creativity very much...
Good times. Yeah, 1987, same concert. I'm glad I can say that I was aware that it was something special then. $17.50, you can't park for that anymore in Chicago.
Saw him in 1984 in downtown Denver doing a find raise for I t think it was John Anderson. Just Dan, a grand piano and his guitar. I was 23 . Went by myself. It was a magnificent show. Never forgetting the magic
I had no idea he played so wickedly!
If you listen to some of his albums, and read the credits, you'll be amazed that he plays nearly all the instruments, or at least keyboards AND guitars. He's very versatile, so talented. Should definitely be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Wow! An early Dan Fogelberg concert. I never would have thought one existed. Oddly, the period of some of the best music is weak on video, but there was no commercial outlet for video back then. I don't even mind the picture quality, it reminds me of the Nether Lands cover. Thanks!
As Joe Walsh said years ago, "the kid can sing". Thanks for this vid.
This is a wonderful gift for the many fans of Dan Fogelberg. Thank you very much.
I saw Dan in a solo concert on Boston Common about 30 years ago and he was amazing. I'll never forget that show. I miss Dan.
Awesome !!! I was in 10th grade at the time . Thanks for posting this show. I wish Dan where still with us. God Bless
An amazing talent. I have every album and all 167+songs he composed and recorded. Yes I'm a fan.
The first time I saw Dan Fogelberg, he was one of the opening acts at an Eagles concert in 1974. He was very unknown and even the Eagles had only been around for 2 or 3 years. His backup band was the same as on this video, Fool's Gold, and they couldn't have been any better. He ended with Gambler, of course, and the whole stadium was singing along, "Let it shine" and man, it was beautiful. I had never heard of him before that day, but I went out the next day and bought Souvenirs. The next week I bought Home Free and I played those albums constantly for years. I learned to play guitar and piano by playing Fogelberg (and Beatles) songs and they are still some of my favorites. Cheers!
just found this... watched it... remembered seeing him and the power of his influence on my music... RIP and thanks for posting this concert.
Dan was an amazing singer, songwriter, performer, and human being. He will be missed by many.
Finally a full DF concert with decent sound quality! I saw Dan solo, twice in the early 80's and even then neither was as good as this one. Thanks for posting this!
Hearing Dan's work every so often is almost as rejuvenating to my soul as knowing that every day there are new fans who will appreciate him for years to come. Unquestionably one of the best from the Seventies with talent for all time
As a native dutchman, I never had the chance to see one of my heroes, Dan Fogelberg, live. Now I can. At least that's how this superb video feels to me. What an incredible show, what great musician and how beautiful his songs. Thanks so much for uploading this treasure, and thank you Dan, for having given us so much pure joy. Rest in peace.
Thank you for this early concert! I saw Dan at Carnegie Hall in NYC right after Netherlands came out--1979??. His voice was at its peak. With the perfect acoustics of Carnegie Hall, I swear he sounded like an angel. This concert captures that time. So sad he's gone.
What an amazing talent! This was taken when he was at the peak of his abilities. Thanks for posting.
I saw Dan in January this same year (1976) and probably the same tour at the Orpheum Theater in Boston. 3 encores, Still one of three or four most outstanding concerts I ever have seen... His solos, on piano and guitar, we're outstanding. His first his first 3 albums helped me through some rough emotional times. Always have appreciated Dan and the music he created and left us. A shame that the good must die young.
OMG!! Thank you for sharing this. I never got the chance to see him perform live. This is just too cool for words. :-)
I miss Dan. Grateful to have his music. I was hooked after Homefree was released. Saw him live in Nashville I think in 78 or 79❤️
Bought my first Album then got hooked on Dan Saw him in concert great songwriter and Singer, R.I.P Dan
Wow, what a tremendous gift this video is. Thank you! I was 5 at the time of this show. I didn't discover Dan until circa 1989, but got to see him in concert several times after that. Dan provided the soundtrack for my 20s and 30s. A section of my heart permanently closed in December 2007. To think, he was in the middle of writing Lessons Learned when this show was recorded... that brought tears to my eyes. And hits like Leader of the Band, Same Old Lang Syne, and Longer weren't even on the horizon yet. Exquisite composer, brilliant musician, and beautiful human being. 💜💚💛
Dammit Dan. Little did I know in 1974 that even after leaving this world that you would still be a part of my world. THANK YOU IN WHATEVER RELM YOU ARE IN.
I first saw Dan solo acoustic during the Netherlands tour. Blessed enough to have great seats ,his remarkable talents were not lost on this 'Rock and Roller'.He disarmed me with 'Plastered in Paris','Don't Reverse the Charge', and 'Theme For Black Orpheus'. I left the Philadelphia Academy of Music with a broader sense of songwriting and performing than I'd had before I walked in.What was in my opinion 'chick music' had woven it's way to my very core by the end of the show.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this! Absolutely brilliant!!!!
Thaks for posting. This was around the time i started getting into Fogelberg but never caught this tour. i saw the Netherlands tour a couple years later but this is really special with the pedal steel player. So talented...Dan was incredible in the studio too. RIP brother.
An incredible artist and musician!
Saw Dan with Fools Gold for the first time in 1974 opening for The Eagles. St John's Arena on OSU campus was a crappy venue for acoustics and the crowd was in typical hurry-up-and-bring-on-the-Eagles mode, but after about 3 songs they settled down and Fogelberg had us for life. I even bought an album by Fools Gold, good stuff! Those first 4 albums by Dan was some of the best music ever recorded. Thanks for posting this concert and helping Dan live on forever.
I like how the audience and Dan have a clear stream of dialogue with each other. The shouting, yelling, and his acknowledgments are warmly humorous.
I was at this concert as well as every show Dan did at the Capital. The first time I saw him here he opened for America great great show
I saw Daniel Fogelberg (solo and with a band at diverse venues in Northeast Ohio), and met him briefly, along with Timothy Schmidt, backstage at the State Theater in Cleveland. Very nice guys. Dan seemed pretty drained. I could tell he leaves every drop of emotion on stage.He was exactly my age, and I was shocked to see that relatively so few people noticed when he passed. What a privilege to have been around to watch this supremely talented man sing and play his unique and so moving compositions in person. I understand completely the statements and intensity of appreciation of the other commenters here. God damn!
Wow! This was a great find! I got to see Dan Fogelberg in 1985, 1991, and 1997, but this is so wonderful to see him when his voice was probably in its' prime--though we knew how much more of a great songwriter and musician he would become with the passage of each day, month, and year! Thanks for this gem! Sincerely, BobbyK
If your into quantum physics, it's interesting that at around 23:00 or a little after, someone in the audience yells out to play a song that Dan said he hasn't written yet. Lessons Learned.
Yes! The BEST! I know for SURE! Love you Gentlemen for making my life so good! Way to go Dan! Hero!
I was blessed to see him four times..one show in Orlando he was tinkering on the acoustic...said he was working on something about his crazy family..it was "Forefathers"..we loved it n he said..might have to record that.
Breathtaking. Amazing. Best two hours of my week. Thank you so much.
Thank you for posting this old concert of Dan from 1976. What a treat! Awesome..... : )
Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting this up. What an endearing treat to see him "in concert" back in the same year that I discovered his music with the Captured Angel album. Since that day in 76, he has been my all-time favorite artist. Again, thank you.
And on its 10th year here this is my 1st listen, wow, this is some from the vault stuff, wow, thank you Gene, this is wonderful.
Gene, you will never know how glad you made me with these old songs. I had wished for sooooooo long to see Dan in Concert at this age !!! THANK YOU !!!!!!!
Greetings to you Gene and Dan Family from Germany!
We popped this on Christmas morning. Perfect.
what a show
We could have more of this kind of music in 2014. Great singer (y)
妳好 感謝分享.祝晚安愉快！
What a treasure, thank you so much for posting this, brings me back to the Carnegie Hall solo show I was privileged to see
OMG! I was at this concert.
+Richard Haas-Winkelman SO WAS I!!
A concert I never saw! WOW, amazing how Dan evolved through his years and exposure. So happy in his music!
I have been feeling quite depressed lately and I needed this concert to lift my spirit. Dan helped so many people with his music by touching their hearts when no one else could. I thank you so much for uploading this video of Dan.
This video is amazing! Thank you! I loved him so much. He was so good live! I had every one of his records. I heard his first record Home Free when my friends older brother bought it for a dollar in the sale bin in 1973. I couldn’t stop listening to it. When Souvenirs came out the next year I was so happy!❤
I was stationed at Balad, Iraq when I learned of Dan's passing. A part of my youth was ripped away.I recall how animals would be drawn towards him from the skittish studio cat which only Dan could handle to the wild ones on Bird Mountain.
I falling in and out of love to Dan's music all through my teens back in the early 70's up till his double (vinyl) album "The innocent Age", after that I kinda lost touch, so this really is a much appreciated walk down memory lane. "Thank-You". ....A line that will live with me all my days "The woman is like the night she comes and goes, she'll break your heart and never know"....
This is a very soulful concert, I caught Dan early on in 1971....a fried of mine I owned a record store and would give me his demo's...so in effect my very first listen to dan emerged in the form of a record store demo copy of Portraits given from friend to friend. My son Todd is now 44 and living in Montana along with my two wondrous grandchildren Ethan 8 and Katie 6. Me I still play and write.....this one is for Cynthia, Harley, and Cynthia....Thanks for sharing...
Morning Light by Terrance Hill 11/31/2014
Oh half a life well contrived inside the many sepia colored walls of this pastoral kingdom
There the fallen angels rise to embrace the kind morning star fleeing the earth in the last of night
It is out there my heart goes to wing, past wooden cross, under a summer’s pale full moon…
I stand alone on our shore, as the first sea birds wing to sand,
I hear a tune of the meadow larks song; I witness the spirits dancing there as children…
Oh my lovely child why has the blue abandoned my eyes,
So I wonder, and believe the smile once cast upon me, never lived
In the fury and blindness that’s pierced me, all along
I’ve become an empty room of ashes, left for the wind entering the cracked window to scatter…
My Imagination is a Monastery and I am its Monk - you must explain my metaphysics to yourself. I am in expectation of Prometheus every day.”
And the forlorn take solace in my arms, which were lost to me just a day as I dreamt
Of the fields of my youth wherein milkweed grew tall, and the Starling’s feather tickled my nose…
My journey has cost but a pittance compared to the iron cauldron’s burning touch!
The sun filled skies of autumn have laid down their blinding glare across the road and aft,
These many pilgrims bound for kinder lands have found heroes to bind the cause
As heroes all gave a shout to the golden rod and wisteria…
I entered the forest’s narrow dirt path fired by an eagerness children practice,
Holding firmly, gently, the Childs trusting hand, concerned for deliverance,
From a planets determined course, a navigator of swirling seas of sadness,
Breaking over the jagged slip of rocks, which broke many who sailed near their cove…
An angry wind is forming, claiming devotion to compassion, yet all hatred burns a fast fire,
Lo I am with you always, came forth the repentant cry, and departed into mist
Once temple doors closed, and saintly faithful few stood accused of yesterday’s alien cry...
A fading glory has passed across the doorsteps and guardian gates of the shimmering stairs to heaven have been replaced by invitation to enter the darkness untouched by a harvest moon’s soft glowing light…
I would love how someone knew about a song he hadn't finished yet. I love lessons learned but I checked it wasn't released tip following year. He looked shocked when someone requested it. I wasn't old enought to go to concerts yet but I was already inLove with Fogelberg. Wish I could have been there!
Thanks for posting, great memories!
the best - never be another like him ~
Gone too soon. Today is Dan's birthday. Thanks so much for uploading this!
Stunning, superb and as for other great artists - will stand the test of time! This is akin to finding The Holy Grail! Tim - as a Dan fan of over 40 yrs and since Homefree, this is the best group of videos one could have hoped for. Very much, Miss Dan Our Man - who became a large part of my life for 4 decades, much like the Beatles, James Taylor, Bruce and the Eagles. (Good Company!!)
Holy Grail indeed it is! I just found this and am extremely happy and thrilled!
could not agree more with both of you. This is beyond the Holy Grail. I only wish I could keep it on my desktop for long rids on the plane, I'd love to have it then.
what an amazing video! Loved this guy for decades. My wife's favorite song is "The Reach" from the Innocent Age. In 1997 or 1999 we were in Vancouver WA and saw an ad in a newspaper that he was giving a concert at the Sokol Blosser Winery in Portland OR. I still remember my wife's friend saying, "Do you want to go? We could watch your kids." I declined and missed my only chance to see him. In 1994 I bought his 1977 album "Nether Lands" on a cassette tape at a thrift store. I had never heard any of the songs. So this 1977 album was new music to us in 1994! I loved "Promise Made" and my wife loved "Scarecrow's Dream" Thanks Gene.
Gene..I am in awe and mesmerized. That this exists with such well preserved audio is fantastic. I heard his first 3 albums in 1976 but did not get to see him until 1978 in Albany, performing solo just like this. Though I would see him again touring in Boston Common playing bluegrass and at George Mason after Exiles, this video is how I always see him in my mind's eye. I was unable to make it out to Peoria for this year's commemoration but hope to put something together here in Westchester, N.Y. to honor the 40th anniversary of Souvenirs. Thanks !
Wow! This is Priceless. Where did you score this? The black and white makes it even more classic! I was 19 at the time of this Concert and was into the hard rock scene before I learned to appreciate the man and his music in the early 80's. I was in H.S. when he started releasing albums and remember buying them for my Sister as gifts. I didn't come around to his music until later and was hooked ever since.
Thanks so much for posting this wonderful video....although watching this breaks my heart. I used to see him in concert every year. The last time I saw him was in Chicago at Navy Pier June 2003. As he closed the concert he said, "See you next time." Well, I was looking for news of his upcoming tour the next year and did not see one. I went to his web site and there I read his words about his advanced prostate cancer. I adored his concerts and this video brought it all back to me, as bittersweet as the memories are now. His music was the soundtrack of my life.
Thanks so much for sharing these concert clips!!! I was unlucky to have not heard Dan's music until the late 70's (why?! I have no clue!!) but that first song hooked me ! Been a huge fan ever since, but always wished I had seen him in concert during this phase of his career, thanks for making that possible!!what an extraordinary talent this man possessed!!
OMG!!! how Wonderful... just the year.. when I first learned, and loved his music forever and always... my only concert I payed 93.00 (in 1993) for each ticket for my husband, myself, and my 3 yr old... My 3 yr old slept through most of it..It was wonderful..Thanks for sharing!!!
Dan, You are sorely missed.
Memories...oh so sweet and poignant, I played his albums, yes albums, over and over...We lost him too soon.
I just started listening to DF and Wow, he really just holds it down on his own, pretty amazing stuff that first acoustic set, still watching :) Thanks for posting this!
THANK YOU!!! Just Wonderful!!!!
Heard from my youngest son today ,,what a joy ,he said he thinks he can come over here oct-nov. looking foward to seeing him😊😊
My new all time favorite UA-cam find. I love Dan Fogelberg ever since I saw him at the Dr. Pepper Concert Series at Central Park NY back on July 9th1977. What an awesome place for an awesome concert. Outside with great weather listening to some great music. I will never forget it.
Simply Awesome! Thank you! The first time I saw Dan was at The Troubador in Los Angeles in 1973.
