I used to see Howie play at the Bear Brew Pub in Orono Maine when I was in grad school. He was in high school, his mother would drive him to the bar and wait in the back while he played his set. At 16 or 17 years old he was performing like a seasoned pro, he would have the whole audience captivated. This video is very much like those earliest shows.
Jesus this is good. So beautifully simple, endearing but also a little haunting. I'm not much a fan of Howie in general but I keep finding myself coming back to this video.
I had the pleasure of seeing him perform live around this time in his career and I will always remember that show. He opened up for Tori Amos and the whole ride home my friends and I kept talking about Howie and how badly we wanted to see him live again. We got to meet him briefly after the show and he was a very humble and quiet guy. I consider that one of the best live shows I have ever attended to this day.
I saw Howie @Canes in San Diego back in the summer of '01 and he was amazing...probably 75 people in the bar and him alone on the stage..the guy has some serious talent!!!
You did a really good job, I'm proud of you! As a musician myself I can see your passion and joy for what you do, Start writing originals and apply your talent to your material. Jeff
Both can do this song very well. Howie has an angel's voice, and he was younger than Bono when he performed One. Merit goes to both Bono and Howie, but I have to agree that the latter blew the former out of the water - at least this time.
@justincross100 --You are correct...it's a Line-6 DL 4 Loop Delay. He uses one for vocals and one for his guitar...very neat and can be difficult to replicate....esp with songs like Madrigals and other originals. Still...awesome stuff and I've never heard a better artist live in concert...really miss when it was just him touring when I was in college and stuff like this was prevalent...

My god look at all the emotion he puts into it. His face says it all. Incredible talent.
I can hear Howie Day all day and night and not get tired. What a voice!
A very rare talent, love his voice.
bono is tough to cover but howie nailed this, one of my all time favorites
I looked for this video for years. Howie, you're such a talent.
Great stuff!
I'd never seen one artist working with two loopers at the same time.
Probly THE best cover of any song ever to be made. Period.
Bono and U2 would be so proud of this rendition ! Take a bow ...Howie Day !
Jesus this is good. So beautifully simple, endearing but also a little haunting. I'm not much a fan of Howie in general but I keep finding myself coming back to this video.
It's the song..
Give howie a little credit guys. Howie nailed it, made it is own. So much h going on musically. One man band here. Perfect
One of my favorite songs and he did an excellent cover
That... is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard, that is a TRUE musician.
