John Popper is one of a kind. His vocal inflections so resemble the harmonica that it blends seamlessly. Also - let's talk about BREATH CONTROL! The breath required for the harmonica alone is enormous, but to immediately go into the next verse after that wild harmonica solo is impressive. He's got to be circular breathing or something.
Harmonica plays different notes on inhale and exhale - he structures his solo so that it ends with him inhaling so he's coming out with full lungs to sing with.
I play harmonica. No where near as good as John Popper. But the trick is to use a harmonica in a key that will land your solo end note on an inhale. That way your lungs are ready to use for your first line of lyrics.
I love the fact that the lyrics of the song are about the song itself.
The song follows the same chord progression as Pachelbel’s notorious “Canon In D”. This chord progression is used in many radio hits. He is basically telling you that through the whole song.
Wow...I didn't know that. Thanks.
Yeah I totally didn't catch this! Even the fast part at the end I can hear the tune now! Dang!
There is a breakdown video of how this is THE MOST POPPY song of all time. They used Canon in D purposefully.

However, he is just talking his shit. Nothing he says matters because the hook brings you back.
Notorious?
Yes, but it's in A major so it has even more hit to it.
Knowing the lyrics changes everything.
My favorite from these guys is The Mountains Win Again.
YES & Carolina Blues
Great Song! One of my old faves is Optimistic Thought off Travelers & Thieves album
Mine too!! 😀
Yes, mine too. Crystal Flame is up there for me too.
"No matter how much Peter loved her, what made the Pan refuse to grow was that the hook brings you back". Love that line
Listen to the song again, that line is supposed to make you laugh because although it sounds pretty, it is utterly meaningless.
@jimgray8485 But prefaced by the line, "To confuse the issue I'll refer to familiar heroes from long ago."
One of the best lines ever
I got to see these guys live and it was a trip. That's indeed a vest, each with several harmonicas, because he goes through harmonicas like crazy. He wears out several harmonicas per concert, and often throws the damaged ones into the crowd for the audience to keep as souvenirs. Both my father & I still have them from various concerts.
Blues Traveler was Howard's favorite band at the time, that is why they played his birthday show...
That’s a lyrical masterpiece by Popper( best harmonica player of all time).
One of the most underrated bands!! Thank you for reacting to them! John Popper in so talented ... the band had a few hits then faded out but they are still touring and sound amazing ... but despite only having a few hits their albums are filled with great music ... Run Around, But Anyway, Crash Burn, The Mountains Win Again, Carolina Blues, and Most Precarious are a few I'd suggest ... they are definitely worth checking out further
You got to watch the video…it might be from the 90s but it’s so creative that it’s scarily relevant today!
He’s the SRV of the harmonica
The song mentions that the reason Peter pan refused to grow was because the "HOOK" (captain hook ) brings him back.
Made even better by the fact that he prefaces that with "here's some nonsense about a familiar hero"
This song is meant to be a TROLL on pop music. He's saying that the lyrics often completely don't matter, just as long as he sings with inflection. It's brilliant.
The whole song is an amazing piece on how formula driven pop music was at that time even down to the token rap verse in the 3rd, immediately after what should be a guitar solo. The best line in there though is "And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck I don't rely on luck because..." Great song. It's nearly 100% true though that people don't listen to lyrics.
This song is a commentary on popular music. He sings that it doesn’t matter what he says, the hook brings you back. -it became a hit single in the 90s and it was poking fun at the entire industry. TRUE GENIUS!!!
If you listen closely to John's vocal inflections and style, and then to his harmonica parts/solos you'll probably notice how similar the two of them are. It's pretty cool, I hadn't noticed it before until it was pointed out recently in another reaction to this performance.
Was a song mocking all those runs singers go on tbh. First verse literally him telling you he can say/sing whatever nonsense he wants, but as long as he sings with inflection no one will pay any mind. As long as it’s a catching HOOK that’ll bring you back you’re good. Ended up being their biggest hit ironically
I had the good fortune to go to school with these guys before they were famous.
If there is someone in the world better on the harmonica than John Popper I wouldn't know who that would be. He is an incredibly talented performer in every aspect.
John Popper is amazing on the harmonica. Fast, articulate, lyrical. But check out Howard Levy (of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones fame). IMO, he's equally amazing.
@jacksonian8 Flecktones are amazing but no one has anything on John Popper's harmonica playing.
Howard loves John popper and Blues Traveler. Had him on the show a lot!
Blues Traveler is pure audio enjoyment. One of the most unique sounds around.
The official music video puts the lyrics in perspective in a clever way but in any case these guys were huge in the early/mid 90s, saw them live not long after Popper was in a very serious motorcycle accident and he had to do the tour in a wheelchair. Was still an excellent show
HE's definitely playing it up here for a live performance. The recording are more reserved and with more tasteful runs. Here, he's just having fun and showing out.
The great John Popper a legend
John Popper and Blues Traveler were a frequent guest on the Stern Show and even appeared in Howard's movie "Private Parts."
And turns out Stern is a turncoat sellout embarrassment to humanity.
If you like harmonica you really need to react to Run-Around by the Blues Travelers. IMO, the absolute best harmonica solo ever. Thanks for sharing your reaction and time. Peace and Blessings. ✌🤗🙏
His voice has taken the resemblance of an extension of his world-class harmonica play. Very impressive vocals!
The lyrics are hilarious.
The comedian Adam Carolla is a huge John Popper /Blues T fan and he always says it’s a good thing John couldn’t make time with the ladies when he was a teenager and just sat in his room singing and practicing the harmonica. John never disagrees. His loss was music’s gain. 😂
He’s a white Stevie Wonder. Very talented singer/songwriter/instrumentalist. Underrated as hell and one of the absolute best.
I was lucky enough to see Blues Traveler when they were supporting their first album. It was in a small venue in Cambridge, MA called the Paradise, and I managed to make my way to the front (standing room only). With my elbows perched on the band's monitors, I watched John Popper work his mouth harp magic. He had an entire bandolier of harmonicas, like in this video. I remember thinking, "these guys are gonna be the next Grateful Dead", as that was the vibe they were putting out at the time. Great night.
Blues Traveler HOOK Awesome. Back to my highschool years. Cause the "Hook brings you back. "
😉
brings me back to my 30s
John Popper sings like he plays the harmonica and play's the harmonica like he sings. He's got to be among the best front-men with control of his air... I'd seen them at festivals before hey were famous and after and they always delivered with charisma and shear character let alone talent.
The studio version places the irony of the song in perspective.
Another great song by them is "Run-Around" well popular song anyway, they always had well written songs.
Harmonica is absolutely beyond awesome ❤️🔥
7:01 “he’s like rapping the harmonica” I have been telling people this for years!!
Go back and listen to studio version
You might be interested to know that the tune is based on a classical piece from the late 1600's called "Pachelbel's Canon in D" which is considered as one of the most played pieces of Music in history.
The common harmonica is set to a single key, like the key of C or A or F#. Unlike say a sax or piano or guitar that can be played in every key, the harmonica is only for one key. So he'll have a set of harmonicas, one for each key hes going to play in.
(Its a little more involved than that, as the player can 'bend' notes to both get a more bluesy sound and to play in a different key; this is called playing cross-harp and most harmonica players do this. Depending on which notes are being played one harmonica can be used for a few different keys. But usually the player wants a particular 'feel' or sound for the song they are playing, and that usually requires the harmonica be in a specific key. And there are harmonicas that can be used to play multiple keys the same ways, but those aren't nearly as common in popular music.)
Love your reactions to Blues Traveler, they are one of my all time favourite bands , John Popper on harmonica is a true genius, on that instrument, nobody can hold a candle to him on harmonica:)
Genius
The Blues Traveler certainly opened some eyes..Crazy harmonica skills.. you ought to check their song Run around. Another awesome tune.
Blues Traveler is one of the most talented bands of my time. Hook is one of my favorite songs from them!
You absolutely have to check out Blues Traveler with Ziggy Marley doing No Woman, No Cry!!! Phenomenal!!
The video is also a must see.
These guys were HUGE in when they came out. Out
Would love to see you react to Jason Mraz (he was referenced in a recent reaction of yours) and John Popper (the singer/harmonica player here) sing “Curbside Prophet”, life at Eagle Ballroom. It’s fantastic.
"Im at a loss for words"
Keeps talking
😂❤
"I cannot talk today"
Powers through anyway
😂❤
Most songs are written hook first. And it is important; that's why its called the hook.
Harmonicas, when played by a master, are absolutely amazing instruments.
2:05 yes, each harmonica is tuned to a different music key
This is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Love Blues Traveler!
Harmonic as can b tuned to different keys
I wish you reacted to a better version of this song, but I love you, love your work, and hope your channel grows and grows. Thank you for all you do. You rock!
He definitely enjoyed it. That's why he booked them on his birthday show. Sometimes you say silly stuff!
Amazing band in concert!
Another 🔥 reaction
Britt you need to react to St. Paul and the Broken Bones Grass is Greener you will love them.
When I showed up to Woodstock 94 (25th anniversary) the first thing I saw was John Popper (harmonica) and this band, doing the star spangled banner,.......Jimi Hendrix style but with a heavily distorted harmonica instead of guitar. It was amazing and a great way to start off 3 days of music.
These were the days of Mariah, Boys to Men, and other famous "runners" with their voices. John threw a great blues grit in it too to make it a little more rock and roll.
I had the CD Blues Traveler -Four, and it was one of my favorite driving CDS
My favorite band ❤️. I caught a harmonica years ago still one of my cherished possessions ❤
That's awesome!
He is amazing he was even featured in the movie Blues Brothers 2000. He sang "Maybe I'm Wrong" which is amazing.
A couple of PTX members are also from Texas, near where she grew up. Also, Sheila E. plays on “that’s right” from Kelly’s Chemistry album.
Love your reactions. ❤❤
The lyrics to this song, one of the best written, and he is such a talent
FYI. The music is Johann Pachelbel's "Pachelbel's Canon" sped up and rocked out.
Saw them do the National Anthem with the harmonica live like Jimmy Hendrix. Absolutely amazing!!
Read the lyrics and laugh. Do "Run Around". :)
Also they weren't on a stage with great sound acoustics yet sounded amazing. That was just pure talent in a place a wedding reception would be held.
Couldn't agree more!
Fabulous!
One of my favorite bands. John goes a little ham for live performances. His recordings tend to be a bit more subdued and "commercial." Up to the listener if that's good or not, but his vocal control is incredible either way.
Howard (famously) absolutely loves Blues Traveler too. He wasn't faking his enjoyment here. I can't speak for Robin.
john popper - lead harmonica never fails to amaze :)
I love Blues Traveler run around is another one of my favorite songs from them
Back in the day he was called the Jimi Hendrix of the harmonica...thanks again for another great reaction
No problem!
Howard Stern loved The Blues Travelers, this was Howard's birthday show and invited them because he loved them so much, and considered them one of the best live bands. Popper is the best.
If you love the harmonica I suggest listening to Charlie Musselwhite.
If you get a chance, see them live. They are amazing.
Howard is a legit fan, he really was enjoying it. As for Robin, who the hell knows. Shes an odd lady lol
I think you just like typical voices, his voice is fantastic! And it is something different the the drap vocals that have no character.
Big fan of your channel. Love your reactions, your personality, your voice when you decide to sing. Can you change your filter on the video so we can see more. I have been watching reactors for 10 years and some just put letters across the video that say " Due To Copyright" and we can see the video clearly behind. It will grow your channel. We want to see what you are seeing even if we have seen the video before. Thank you.
Yes, the pockets on the vest hold harmonicas in every key.
Lol. Love the sheep analogy. The SHAUN THE SHEEP Aardman Animations came to mind if you'd like a good laugh in a family-friendly way 😂
Saw them at Athens super jam with Dave matters widespread panic and others
Fun vocals, amazing harmonica work. So right about the value of a good hook. I think that's one of the great things about The Police. Lyrical and instrumental hooks galore!
Thank you kindly!
He sings like he plays harmonica. Those weird goat runs you referred to are him basically doing harmonica runs but vocally. Hes got alot of talent when it comes to doing both.
God I miss the 90s. I know that Blues Traveler is still around... but they were never the same after Bobby Sheehan's death.
I think you are reading too much into Howard's reaction. That is basically how he reacts to all the bands on his shows, even his absolute favorites. His Birthday Bash shows used to be a pretty big deal and he personally invited the musicians he wanted for it, so I doubt he wasn't enjoying it.
John Popper not only a Beast on harmonica, but a God !!!!!!! Best ever.
Great song. But I have a request for you. Please react to "I can't tell you why" by the Eagles. Timothy Smit, the bass player sing this song that that you instantly put on a Playlist and will be put in the PDC by the end of the song. Either the video of them recording it or the live version.
You will never hear another like John Popper on harp... there isn't anyone... nice reaction I think you will grow into BT... they have so much to offer and are so different.
Could you react to Harry Chapin's "The Mayor of Candor lied". Its 8 minutes....you have to pay attention..maybe pick vid with lyrics.....trust me its epic 😊
Someone else already said it but The Mountains Win Again . . . you gotta check that out
Bear in mind, this is a live performance in a radio studio. You need to hear more of Mr. Popper singing. He does NOT sound like a sheep.
Watch the movie Kingpin. They play their best version of this in the ending credits dressed as Amish musicians
Will somebody please do "Alone" or "100 Years"
Not only is John Popper one of the greatest harmonica players and vocalists, he is one of the NICEST guys in music! He is backed by one heck of a band too!
If you haven't already done so, I'd suggest another Canadian treasure for your entertainment perusal....
*"Sass Jordon"*
With her unique, and powerful voice. And rock/blues stylings.
(Think of a cross of, Tina Turner, and Janis Joplin)
You'll have a brand new favourite female singer.
I love a good spit box player
One of many songs musically based on Pachelbel's Canon. Talking about the importance of the hook is related as well.
also, I'm sure someone said this below, but as much as you seemed to enjoy this, you really should watch the official video. It played on the theme of the song lyrics, his voice, in a most pleasing and entertaining way.
Knowing your love for theatrical performances and the 70's, I would love to see your reaction to the end scene of the ROLLER DISCO-POP movie starring Olivia Newton John and Gene Kelly....Xanadu. It would be so entertaining to watch you react to it. Please do so, I think you will definitely enjoy it......I suggest "Xanadu | Olivia Newton-John & Gene Kelly's '80s/'40s Hybrid E.L.O. Roller Disco"
Holding in a fart is hilarious 😂
Britt you should check out John Popper and Ziggy Marley do "No Woman No Cry", the harmonica solo is insane
You never expect to hear a voice like that. Ever.
Nope!
