Our true blessing so glad to see, hear from him in these so Trumped up days. My favorite musical prophet. We are all here in this audience at least, "all lovers in a dangerous time". Thank you Bruce.
One of the most underrated guitar players of all time. A Canadian treasure.
So incredibly delicate and rich in texture and rythmn, Thanks for the share and as always Mr.Coburn ,you are a blessing to so many of us!
Lost count of all the times I drove long distances to see Bruce play in person… Portland in the early early eighties… Seattle in the mid-nineties… Seattle a couple of times… Had every CD he published… It’s nice to see/hear he’s still playing and growing and not just revisiting his legacy material. Been listening to him since the late seventies. What a tremendous body of work!
It's amazing, I've discovered if you tell YT 'not interested' in a lot of extraneous stuff it starts suggesting good stuff. I never heard of this guy before
Jackson Browne, pre 911, held a benefit concert for Native American Scholarships, at a school in Sedona AZ. Every year you could count on Bruce to show up and give a super performance.
@@woodybrison I would guess that over the year you have heard his music: Wondering Where The Lions Are, The Trouble With Normal, Lovers in a Dangerous Time, If I Had a Rocket Launcher, (and they) Call It Democracy, People See Through You, If A Tree Falls, and a few others.
Me too!!!
I might recognize you! I also caught shows in Nor Cal at the Mateel, the Mystic and the Luther Burbank Center
I don't live.under a rock but never heard of him before this. I will now for sure. Did he play solo all these years or in a group
Luv the beard luv Bruce met him in Brantford a few years back after the show, drank some red wine together, after my Daughter s birth meeting Bruce Cockburn face to face was the highlight of my life then l smiled ❤ ...
A Canuck............one of our treasured, and best.
What a legend. On the soundtrack of my Canadian life, about every fourth track is a Cockburn.
On one of our first dates, in 1977, I took my now wife to a concert of Bruce Cockburn@, at Lakehead University, in Tbunder Bay, Ontario. We recreated the same concert in 2018, with Cockburn in a solo concert We will celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary this coming February.
To a time in the distant past, a space when everything seemed possible. To Andrew, when Slough wasn’t where the poet of the day would drop your bombs. Thanks for the music
if you keep a green bough in your heart...the singing bird will come.
I went to my first concert with my older brother to see his favourite artist, Bruce Cockburn, at Massy Hall in Toronto. I was 10 years old and was mesmerized by the whole experience. I fell in love with Bruce's music and poetic lyrics and continued to go to his concerts over the years, every time he came to Toronto. He still mesmerizes me, fifty years on.
Ich habe Bruce Cockburn in den 80ern in Hamburg in der Fabrik gesehen und war bei ihm hinter der Bühne mit meinem Kollegen Ngwato. Bruce signierte mir ein PL. Ich sang damals einige seiner Lieder auch öffentlich. Lord of the Starfield, If I had a rocketlaucher.... damals war er eine wichtige Person, die mein Leben prägte. Danke Bruce, Klaus T.
Amazingly talented 🇨🇦 artist
Le Hibou has stayed in my thoughts all these 50+ years!
This is fabulous. I have seen Bruce a bunch of times since 82 and had the pleasure of seeing him twice on this tour. He just keeps getting better all the time.
When I hear this, I know I’m still wondering where the lions are. Such loveliness.
Thanks for this.i've listened to and loved, Bruce since the late 70s.Always great to hear and/or see him. He and Eric Clpton are the finest guitar players of our time. I once had the awesome good fortune to be scheduled to sit in the window seat on a row on a plane where he was seated on the aisle. I couldn't be sure he was who I thought he was until we'd filled out customs delaration form and he placed his own, face up on the seat between us. I looked at his and said, " I thought you were you. How're you doing, Bruce, and what have you been up to?" He talked about an event to support the removal of landmines somewhere.He was looking forward to being at home. I also asked him about his writing process and whether he had a schedule or just wrote when he felt like it. He said he did both, but realized that scheduling his writing time didn't stifle his creativity in ways he'd feared it might. What mattered, he said, was "being open to receive whatever comes." We talked about Montréal, where he was headed (after the plane stopped at Toronto, where I was going) and the woman who was there, waitng for him. He seemed just as real, and just as kind as he comes across in his performances--it's not persona he puts on. He really is a kind, dedicated and truly decent man, one of the best I've encountered unexpectedly.
The man is a treasure. SImply beautiful. Thanks brother Bruce.
Saw him during the Stealing fire tour at the jubilee auditorium in Calgary Alberta back in the 80s
Me too!
I bought Bruce Cockburns first album in 1970 here in Ontario while he lived still in Toronto. Still always listen to those songs that had the most profound effect on my life as I was starting out on life’s adventures however they turned out.
i'd heard some of his music and loved it,but my first time REALLY LISTENING to him was when i bought IN THE FALLING DARK.
Saw him couple years ago in Maine. Awesome.
Have followed Bruce since the 80s and even spoke with him a few times. Extremely intelligent man. During a show in the 90s I shouted out for freebird as I often do at non rock concerts and he actually played a bit of it!
I saw Bruce Cockburn accompany David Wiffen at the Bitter Grounds coffee house at Queen's University in 1972. What a beautiful show that was.
Been listening to Bruce from early 1970's He is a true explorer and taps into original currents of his muse. The sound alchemist comes out from his soul from time to time. Always a student of the accoustic instrument.
Oh My!!!! What a serving of EAR CANDY!!! YUMMMY!!!! THANK YOU!!! I would love to give this technique a whirl if I had that talent and equipment!! Well, Id still try it regardless 😃👍🎶🎸🙋♀️
Heard Dancing in a stereo shop back in the day, LOUD, fan ever since.
Beautiful music, greatly appreciated here. Thanks!
Good Canadian talent ahhh yes .Thanks Bruce
This guy was on the radio, just once here in Holland. We all need this his our peace right now
Bruce Cockburn, simply wonderful. What a piece of sonic architecture. Thanks Bruce
Learned something wonderful today. I'd never heard of Bruce Cockburn before. I esp like that 'old' as he is he knows and develops great music including with modern electronic sound weaving processing (echo rounds, etc).
Like Dovydas does also.
There's soo much to discover! If you liked this piece can I recommend his albums: Circles in the Stream, and Speechless. There's decades between them, but I think those would serve as good avenues of introduction.
WOW, didn’t expect that, never here of y this guy, i’m blown away
Back in the summer of 2010 I listened to Bruce Cockburn perform a Jazz Festival concert along the banks of the Ottawa river. I heard the concert from an open water vantage point while paddling with my dog towards the beachfront stage in my canoe. The Britannia Park river bend acted as a natural amphitheatre and the acoustics were incredible as Bruce launched into many extended guitar solos throughout his performance. An unforgettable moonlit private concert I must say.
As a Navy man and boat owner I deeply feel special on the water
my eyes filled with tears imagining you there ..i can see feel hear how utterly sublime that was. thank you for sharing.
The operative phrase? With my dog. Bless Bruce & bless them too for enhancing life in general? ;-)
Wow!😊
Sweeeet
Bruce has been off my radar for a long time. It’s great to see him still innovating. His hair is cool too!
I am today years old before realizing David Letterman could play. Where have I been?
Awwww love youuuuu Bruce !! Thankyou see you in the spring. God bless you.
BC, I have been impacted by your music since 1976, and only got to enjoy it live once, in New Hampshire some 30 years ago. Keep on plowing!
Thanks for the video. I saw Bruce early in 2023 in Edmonton at the fabulous Winspear Centre. I didn't know what to expect, but was mesmerized. He is still a superb artist.
Some years ago my wife, my stepson and I bicycled from the northern tip to the southern tip of Nova Scotia to raise money for a local children's camp. I put Bruce's music to a little video I made of our trip. Every time I hear Bruce's music it evokes such wonderful memories of those miles in the saddle.
Thanks for posting. Just what we need right now.
Thank you for posting this. I remember traveling around Vermont in 1983 listening to a marvelous cassette of his romantic tunes, then listening to If I had A Rocket Launcher on Cape Cod, MA, then hearing him play in Birmingham, AL at the Magic City, the night he stayed up all night walking around the city with Ani DiFranco, and now this!! I love this man’s genius and fingers. What a master. Play on Bruce.
Beautiful...
BRILL !!
♥ I happily discovered him in San Francisco 1983.
His music speaks for itself, which has been a gift to us all, but it's his life and what He has stood for and represented that I appreciate the most. Thank God He's still with us .
It's good to see him still advancing and expanding his playing and style, rather than getting stuck playing the hits, slavishly. It's actually rather inspiring. Rage against the dying of the light.
I didn't hear any rage. I felt thoughtful and deep.
@@johnwattdotca It's from a poem by Dylan Thomas, if you didn't know, about the coming big sleep.
@@michaelk5507 No, I didn't know, so thanks for telling me. I have a story. When Bruce Cockburn first played at Brock University, my musician friends and I went to see him, fresh out of high school. That's when "High Winds, White Skies" came out. I didn't realize it afterwards, at the after-party, that I was standing back-to-back with him. A Brock teacher called out, John Watt, how does it feel to hear another guitarist play like you? I saw Jimi Hendrix and had a Strat, Marshall stack and effects. I turned and Bruce turned, staring each other in the face. I looked around, everyone watching, so I said "If a rock guitarist can keep a steady bass going and finger-pick, an acoustic guitarist can finger-pick and keep a steady bass going. Bruce looked at me and nodded his head in agreement, and everyone else went back to talking. There are a lot of big sleeps for humans, if you want, and Bruce also sang about eternity. He talked about seeing birds in the Amazon that could disappear and re-appear. I need more primal energy in my life, that's for sure.
Canadians are blessed to have talent as this man exudes
Guitar God's. Rik Emmet WalterRossi Colin James , Randy Bachman Jack DeKayser Frank Marino..and on and on
I wish you happiness!!! I'm staying! Super!!! Thanks!
I first met and interviewed Bruce for a Montreal music mag in the summer of 1970. We're both 53 years older now, and both look it. Maybe he does a little more than I. But then, I cut my beard off a few years ago, so I'm cheating. :-) Nice to see him playing with guitar toys.
The souonds and associated feelings they create are unique to Bruce. He takes you back and pushes you forward into a better day. Pretty wonderful stuff.
Guitar sound probably best described as atmospheric, dreamy, mesmerizing.
Bruce’s overdubbing/layering of sound, with the reverb transforms simple melody and harmony into a unique voice.
But we must also credit pioneer Les Paul, who invented those techniques and equipment before most viewers’ parents were born!
Les Paul can be credited with a few electric guitar things, but he's more of a corporate symbol than a real inventor.
@@johnwattdotca Are you serious? Les introduced over-dubbing, looping, etc., and was a master of guitar playing technique beginning in the 40’s.
Anyone familiar with the instrument’s history knows your comment is asinine.
@@commanderthorkilj.amundsen3426 If you want to live your life through Gibson guitars with their hero Les Paul, it's on you. The first musicians to play electric guitars were jazzers when record players came out. You can tape the record player arm to your guitar with the needle pressed in, and play louder through the amplifier. I had a 1964 Fender Stratocaster, a 50 watt Marshall stack and tried every effect, four months before Jimi Hendrix passed away. Keep talking. I'll let you know how the gig goes.
@@johnwattdotcaHe did pioneer multitrack recording.
@@tomcoryell When I was standing back-to-back with Bruce, backstage at Brock University after his concert, he was playing an acoustic guitar through a floor stand microphone. I had a 1964 Fender Stratocaster, a 100 watt Marshall stack, with a Crybaby pedal, a Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face, germanium, and an MXR phase shifter, what became bar band stage equipment. Bruce was driving across Canada in a pickup with his wife and dog promoting "High Winds and White Skies", a wonderful album. Yeah, it's gotten so warm around here we don't get those high winds and white skies any more.
I have gotten to know Mr. Cockburn over the years… Had lunch with him one Earth Day, did some alumni events with him, and from time to time we have exchanged postcards and so forth. He is truly a gentle person, an inspiration, and a major influence on anyone who plays music…. I just hope he gets over that beard! Ha, ha ha
Amazing.
A touch of Jerry Garcia guitar stylings g'wan on here. That's a good thang.
WoW !
Omg the beard!
BRUCE LIVES !!! Saw all the great ones, Bruce always brings it live. Had the extreme pleasure of three shows by the bard. Just fantastic!!!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! long time no seeeee
Haunting,thoughtful and beautiful.❤️🙏
Arguably one of Canada's greatest, guitarist, singer song writer. Up there with Neil Young. And being around almost as long.
Please?
Bruce is certainly a Canadian musical pedigree and someone to behold as a highly important living icon. He, Joni & Neil are as deeply talented as they come.
@@steveharrigan7811 Alex Lifeson has never played guitar like this. He's a hard rock musician. The original comment also said "one of Canadas' greatest". Rush was better with Mike Rutsey on drums, like John Bonham.
I once read Eddie Van Halen said Bruce Cockburn was the best guitarist in the world.
@@TonySchoppWhat!..No mention of Gordon Lightfoot?( R.I.P )
I know people overuse the word underrated too much...but in this case, Bruce Cockburn has got to be up there in the most under-rated.... at least unappreciated by the younger generation. Truely a treasure, and gifted guitarist, so far above many others.
Since 1977 I have been listening to Bruce and his playing still hypnotizes me. Lyrically he drives home the points in every song. The very first song I heard from him back then was Gavin's Woodpile. Listening this video now still brings those same feelings as when I first heard him playing in '77
That was magical! Thank you, Stellablu477!
sat next to this gentleman many years ago on a flight to Vancouver, terrific experience
I embarrassed myself in front of him twice! Not my finest work.
Magnifique...!!!
Merci..❤❤❤❤❤
BenjWaaganFay / Sénégal / Afrique
it's definitely not the music I expected based on the thumbnail... but wow! how gorgeous
Painting pictures with his technique, a rare gift
I was hoping to hear him sing. I consider myself lucky to have seen him in person.
It reminds me of an album I used to have of experimental notions and moods called "Fripptronics" by Robert Fripp.
Cool! Dave Letterman is touring with Bruce Cockburn.
Still dancing like dragoncito. Cha
Beautiful!
very pleasant and lively
Love ❤❤❤
Saw him live with 3s A Crowd at the 4D in Winnipeg. Mid sixties sometime. Great then, great now.
If you folks are interested in Bruce Cockburn’s amazing contributions to music, check the “Cockburn Project”. I forget the person’s name who organizes it, but it has been a force of nature. There are setlists from many many performances over the years. If you want to, you can submit your own list and or observations about the show. It’s beautiful. I’m a Canadian living in the USA and Bruce has been a spirit guide to me, for many years.
We’re going to see him tonight in Santa Monica, at the venerable “McCabe’s Guitar Shop”.
Some 32 years ago a fellow student lent me an EP record of some young man singing protest songs about Chinese human rights violations and central American injustice. I taped it (as we did) and listened to it a number of times. The words and rhythm stuck with me. "If I had a rocket launcher, some son of a bitch would die". It made an impression.
I didn't follow him. Over 30 years later UA-cam recommends this video which I appreciate.
It's been over 40 years for me, similar collage story, and here he i still playing! Amazing!
I bought Night Vision almost 50 years ago because I liked the album cover.....blew me away and been a huge fan ever since!
so cool to hear him play this on his Resonator
having seen him live he makes more sounds than seem possible from one person and one instrument. It becomes mesmerising
Never realized ! Listening now.
Sounds like the good Spanish twelve string guitar people !
its called a loop and delay pedal
thanks. kind od figured that but still requires massive co-ordination...and imagination...cheers
@@kimcarsons7036
National treasure
Wonderful to see he's still at it....what a talent!
I had all of his early True North recordings. A year ago I found eight more records and bought them - a treasure trove!
When last i saw him he didn’t pull out the dobro until the encore, which was disappointing, but he saved the best for last. Never forget watching him play almost an entire set with the dobro back in 1995. Mind blown.
He’s so amazing but wow. I can’t believe how time flies
bruce is a national, musical treasure! five out of four stars!! up there w/ neil young, lightfoot et al, the very best!!!
Seriously? ❤❤ Wow!
I saw him live once decades ago. Probably the best live concert I've ever seen.
Love Bruce’s music !
This is Bruce Cockburn playing "If I Had a Rocket Launcher" for Live Aid, seen by over
two billion people. This is the first video I've seen where he uses a deep echo for a solo.

Incredible performance! I had not seen Bruce for such a long time. So good to see him performing his beautiful music!
Bruce is a legend. Thanks for posting this.
The first time I heard this was when he played it live one night at a small venue. Mesmerizing.
in a famous rock documentary they once asked Eddy Van Halen how it feels to be the worlds best guitar player, without missing a beat he looked straight at the camera and said.."I dont know you'll have to ask Bruce Cockburn".
Hmm. Which famous rock documentary is that?
@@hangblaguethe one where he said the same about Alex Lifeson 🙄
In a similar vein, when Frank Sinatra was asked what's it like to be The top male vocalist his reported response was, 'how would I know?, ask Tony Bennett. ;-)
The first time is hear play was in 1962-3 in a coffee house in Vancouver. The Inqusion ,he played Rain
I was at this show...fantastic evening with Bruce! Lots of great stuff off of his new record!
Truly magnificent.
When I was a teenager someone made a cassette of Bruce Cockburn songs. I loved it! Where is that cassette now…
Hauntingly beautiful...such musicianship. This and his many lyrics, which remind us all of our responsibilities to the planet and its peoples, have informed and inspired my whole life.
Bruce"s Song "Lord of the Starfields", live in Toronto, hat mich vor fast 50 Jahren elektrisiert, er berührt mich heute noch. "The End of All Rivers" ist dessen Fortsetzung, die Töne schweben im Raum, Worte bedarf es nicht. Im Video sehe ich einen Menschen, der in sich ruht und seine Sehnsucht mitteilt. Mein großer Respekt vor ihm.
