- A surprise performance by Don McLean for the visitors of the Van Gogh Museum, singing all time favourite ‘Vincent’ (Starry Starry Night), on Sunday 25 August 2019.
This just broke my heart....
So touched 😥
OMG. Don McLean singing Vincent at the Van Gogh. What a gift.
Yeah, like someone leaving a pile of horse manure at your front door.
I saw Don McLean perform his classics in 2018 . He was magical . ❤️🎼🎸
Yes I still cry . love love you
@@EPA18 Meaning what exactly? It didn't sound pleasant !
@@EPA18 Umm, no, I think that’s what YOU did with your rude comment here!
Wish Vincent can hear this song ✨✨
Of course he can 🌸
With one ear
Me too, so he could say, "Eat me, McLean!"
Who says he can't?
When he started playing, many people were walking past. At the end, most were captivated of all ages. True talent from both Artists.
Absoluter Wohlfühl Song. Ich danke dem Herrgott das es solche Menschen wie Don Maclean gibt
I hope Vincent knows how much we love him and his wonderful works! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The sweetness of Don's voice is gone, but this song is a masterful tribute to one of the world's great masters.
Understandable, he is 75 years old, but a great artist with so many beautiful songs.
Never gone. just finely grew up with it's author. Eternal love to a lyric that'll live forever.
Are you OK mentally? He was awesome...
@@marcelopinar2141 finally a thoughtful human and all positive. GOOD MY FRIEND!!!
there are people walking by without stopping, as though they have somewhere more important to to go to!
I thought of this song the other day after I caught the Doctor Who episode w/Van Gogh in it. Still gets to me.
I met Don at post concert meet and greet. He aigned two vinyls for me. I told him thank you. The thank you wasn't for the signatures though. The thank you was gor the way hos music touched my soul over the years.
He killed me softly with this song. Would have loved to be there to hear him play among all of those works of art.
Frank Filthyfinger - Sorry, making a point that “Killing Me Softly” was originally written and sung by by Lori Lieberman inspired by watching Don McLean perform live. Before Roberta Flack and we’ll before Fugees. Look it up. Not a milk guy son nor soy.
This song always chokes me up but this was something really special.
Makes me cry every time. So beautiful.
Loved this.
Still a great voice and one of the finest songs and pieces of poetry ever written.
I flew with TWA back in the day, and one particular night, on my break, I got to sit in the cockpit jump seat of the 747 while amoral bariolis took place , all the while singing to myself starry night. The captain seemed to appreciate it.
Will go down as one of my best memories
Two masters of their craft together in one building, one whos paintings hang on the walls and the other singing a tribute to the other.
Dang I wish I could have been There....How Amazing....
This makes the song even more meaningful, his voice on this song is still hauntingly beautiful as it was when he first sang it. This is by far my favorite song by Don McLean.
*BRAVOx1,000,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
An incredibile song of my soul and heart
When. I feel a need to weep, I only have to hear this song or watch the Dr. Who episode, which gives me acute goose bumps.
The most beautiful song ever written.
And Don wore BLUE 💙. 🎶 🖼 🎨. China Blu 💙

This might the coolest thing I have seen on UA-cam all year.

One of my 5 favorite videos on YT all-time.

If i wouldve been there i wouldve bawled like a baby
Truly moving, just as it was when I heard the song all those years ago. An era when songs of beauty and compassion were written and cherished, and moved us to tears.
Thank you 🍃
how beautiful! I would like to have this gift of taking events in our lives and turning them into masterpieces that move and inspire, but this is for few.
I cried many years ago when I first heard you sing this beautiful song and my eyes are not dry even so many years later. You touched my very soul. Thank you so very much Don McLean -dec. 27, 2020 - COVID 19
...the hell are you talking about? He's alive and well.
deserves more than 13k views
Amazing! I wish I were there
Fantástico! Fantástico!! Sempre fantástico!!!
La tristeza durara para siempre
VVG
So touching and heartfelt makes me cry🥰💕😥
Lindo👏👏👏👏👏
Let me get this straight, Don McLean is singing Starry Starry Night at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and people are just walkjng by. You've got to f***ing kidding me!
I love this song thanks to the NOFX's cover !
Love this sweet original version too!
Lucky b...ds being there!! ! i think i am jealous!
Terry F Bromley, Amazing & very thoughtful
みんな、離れて聴いていないようで聴いていますね！
I feel sorry for the folks who just walk past. They never smell the roses.

After nearly fifty years ninety percent of those listening would have no idea who the old man singing was.
💕😭
In a crowd largely younger than the song, I wonder how many knew what they were hearing and who it was playing and singing?
He just did a remake of American Pie with Home Free. Check it out.
Sung as only the Master could do it.
Im a puddle and not even there..lol
A tribute to 2 beautiful artists. One works with paints and linen and one with words and music. Both are Masterpieces of art.
People just walking past a music legend singing a legend song about a true legend!
Did you not know that the mass is always ignorant, lazy. dangerous? I would not flock to a TAylor Swift concert... that no... no.
These people at the museum with Don in their presence singing were so blessed. This was a very rare moment that they'll cherish forever.
True, but only for those who knew what was going on!
One of the most beautiful song ever written.
This breaks my heart every time I hear it. It means more today than it did in 1972. It is incerdibly relevant. Well done Don McLean...
Glad he got the chance to do this in the van Gogh museum. I'm Dutch and Vincent was born not far from my birthplace. And Vincent by McLean had always touched my soul. He knew what he was singing about.
It took a very kind man to write a song with this much love and respect for another.
His voice may not be what it was in his youth, but the sentiment of his words are still there. And his guitar sounds just as lovely.
Please everything ages with you, even your voice.
Ooo, I wish I was there!!!
Yes I agree, his Martin D45 does sound beautiful.
His voice was not altered by studio filters or rehearsed, just a live moment. Like photos, this wasn't air brushed it was what you see....or hear. The words are what you hear.
I believe that Lori Lieberman was , again, listening
I'm a bit surprised the members of the audience weren't sobbing uncontrollably by the end. What a beautiful song, by an artist that obviously took a real interest in Van Gogh and his art. Thank you Vincent for the beauty you brought to the world, and thank you Don for reminding us of that beauty in such a poetic way.
They were young people, not us oldies who have loved this song for fifty years.
When you live with this every day and time also passed, the locals probably treated this like we also do the same for boring every day things.
The non locals, I am sad to imagine that today has made people not as caring for history as much as some of us. :(
History matters and today also matters and they conflict. IDK which one will win.
Vincent, my friend! The world loves you. Finally!
Uma pena ele não poder saber disso
Something special to share with you. The first three words of this song were on the birthcard of my son. He was born two months too early. We had some shaky early years with him, but he got through it all. 21 years later, we both had a wonderful week in which we busked on the streets of Roermond with our favorite songs on guitar, amongst which songs of the Beatles and CSN&Y which we both love. We sang those songs with all of our souls and we had so much fun together. I am so proud of him. And of course we visited the museum of the painter after which he was named. His name.....is Vincent.
Thanks for sharing Arno!
Oh that is so beautiful, i’m all teary.
I wish Vincent the best life has to offer ❤
@@Ltchgthank you. Believe me, he has.
What a great, emotional story, Arno! Thanks for sharing with us!
I would have been a puddle if I was there.
IKR My friend.!!
Me too.
Don McLean paints us a picture of nostalgia, yearning, sorrow, pain and love through his music.
This had to be a special experience for all the people there and for Don McLean. Such a heartfelt rendition of one of Don's most beautiful creations. My soul was fed just watching this man deliver his lovely musical poetry.
And I cry and cry and cry... Since 1972. Don McLean is perfect. Vincent van Gogh is perfect.
I cannot imagine standing 10 feet away from him singing Vincent in the Van Gogh Museum. Holy shit.
It was indeed a pleasure : )
Can you ever thank
someone enough for writing such a magical song. The emotion Don McLean pulled out of this tune and gave to us people cannot be expressed in words.
Just one or two who actually live in the moment and enjoy it without their phone recording the whole thing.
Exactly!
Best song EVER written?What a thing that this GENIUS got to perform it ,maybe as close as he could possibly get to the beautiful subject of the song..big WOW..i'm only glad SOMEBODY recorded it.Thankyou xx
Vincent, I know that you can see and hear us. I wanna say thay we love you. We love you so much 💛
Frank Filthyfinger yes. You are, indeed, ridiculous.
I love him so much....
Don Mclean is a musical genius. His compositions and songs are timeless and priceless.
Absolutely magical, Vincent would be honored , TY!!!
We are blessed to have had both Don and Vincent in our world.
To have them together like this was just Beautiful ❤❤
That was wonderful two great artist in the same place at different times. Thank you Vincent and thank you Don each of you have made the world a little better with your art forms
I bet that meant more to don than anybody in the room
I bet you're right. McLean was an overrated artist with literally one great song ("American Pie"), and this performance was abysmal. By the way, get a friggin' haircut, McLean! The 1960s ended a l-o-o-o-n-g time ago.
@@EPA18 Sometimes its better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are an idiot rather than open it and remove all doubt
@@mikemasail823 You have your opinion, I have mine. McLean wrote one admittedly massive hit, and everything else he did was awful, like his version of the song "Crying"
@@EPA18 You obviously have no clue about his huge body of work. In his own words he never set out to be a commercial artist, yet he had 2 massive hits. American Pie which defied all the odds, because of its length and Vincent.
As for Crying Roy Orbison, who wrote the song considered Mcleans version to be superb, but what does he know.
95% of Mcleans work never got air time. I will point you to three.
Firstly "The Grave". This is a song about war in General. ua-cam.com/video/p05aJNfWib8/v-deo.html
Secondly "1967" about the Vietnam War. ua-cam.com/video/f_-mmu4pcJM/v-deo.html
Thirdly "Genesis" ua-cam.com/video/u49BWPODYKE/v-deo.html
Then perhaps spend some time and listen to his body of work. Because an Artist was not Commercial does not mean he "was an overrated artist with literally one great song"
Having said that I stand by my original comment.
@@mikemasail823 McLeans version of 'Crying' I have to say surpassed the great Roy Orbison's version IMHO of course...Roy's is still great though! Roy was one of his heroes.....McLeans version has that bit more emotion to it for me!
Wow, only a few dozen people watched a genius singing about a genius. History repeats itself!
What a performance !! This great song was specially dedicated to the greatest artist.. VINCENT van Gogh .. The right man on the right place with the right song
50 years ago and still relevant, potent, fragile, painful truth. Thank you Don for a lifetime of beauty
A gift for the soul.
認識這首歌的人而又能夠停下來欣賞作者本人的演出，太有福了❤❤❤❤
Lovely, but I wish they'd done a better job with the audio.
Peter Cockerell
For it does not matter
In the realm it’s Vincent that comes through
That is all there is
That is everything
That is Vincent
It's not the audio......
It's the room with all the hard surfaces. And the sound is floating up into the air. Just not good acoustically.
@@oscar87171 Right, it's not. McLean sucked. It wasn't "lovely"
@EPA18 ; Ik wil jou wel eens horen zingen als je de 70 gepasseerd bent. Maar gelukkig zal ik dat nooit meemaken, want tegen de tijd dat jij eindelijk uit de luiers mag ben ik allang gestorven. Bovendien hoef ik je niet te horen zingen om te weten dat jij er in elk geval geen kont van kan.
So Beautiful.... so talented.. Wow!! Those people got such a rare treat...
IKRR I WISH U WAS THEREE
Love you Don !! thank you for all yours special songs.
Tears drop hearing this song and you know what vincent van Gough had been through his life time.
Love you Don, bless you for this song alone for all it has and will mean to me and for drawing attention to Vincent and his heart and soul and his understanding- he has too often been dismissed as a "nut" an inadequate painter, etc - he was an extremely intelligent tormented man who could have given up and just drunk his absinthe but NO- he gave this idiotic, chaotic, greedy world his visions, his words for all time. Thank you for this album esp and for all your music.You came to my crummy, boring city in Ontario a few years ago and two blocks away I could hear people of all ages singing, "so bye bye Miss American Pie..." None of the music ever dies, just like the images on canvas...love zoe
Painfully beautiful lyrics and melody
Wow! What a moment in time!
I'm crying
Can not believe I missed this here. Don what a wonderful song you've written. After all those years we enjoy it still and appreciate it more. Thank you.
I've been through that spectacular Vincent Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. It was an emotional experience, enough to make grown men cry.
Beautiful song for Vincent ❤
Wow, I can’t believe how long it has been since this beautiful song came out
Likely the most beautiful song I have ever heard, all things considered.
Like so much of Van Gogh’s work, Starry Night maintains an electric tension between ecstasy and melancholy. “It makes you glad to be unhappy,” says McLean, who tried to convey the same mood with his song. “No matter how happy or hopeful I am, I always tend to drift back to that. It’s underneath all the music I’ve ever written… An artist is trying to tell you how he’s feeling. And if that accidentally becomes entertaining, it becomes a career.”
Indeed,this performance is the echoing of so many beautiful souls on the earth
