the story flowed through his voice
I spent 42 years in TV. I got a chance to meet McLean, at Country Jam about 15 years ago. He was a great interview, and a great person. He signed my cassette tape, and I donated it to a youth charity. That tape went for over $250 at an auction. Thank you Don.
Probably one of the greatest songs ever written.
I agree
def on my top 5 of the most greatest songs including bohemian rhapsody
Great song
@@pragmaticpuppy2715 Pathetic effort.

@@willhickman2578 yeah I know I got bored halfway through. Awesome list btw
Beautiful song❤
My grand dad fought and died at the Korean war.
It was a proxy war for the cold war.
But we are thankful for the veterans who fought for the peace…
I heard the song that president Yoon sang the other day….
It reminds me of the deaths and how we thrived from sorrow.
Real old hero❤
Thank you so much
thank you so much
Proxy war the North started and glad the South won with the help of the UN and the US ❤ 대한민국 만세
Thank you 👍❤️
When a song is eight minutes long and you still can't get enough of it every time.....that's what you call a classic
Lol. Only 8 minutes?
Agreed. Went to one of his concerts back in the day. Yep, the good old days.
I totally agree with this comment
Damn right! Start making song's that have heart, and make since, not violence, and hate!!!
There was a time of my life that I played the song almost every hour for weeks.
I'm here coz I missed my dad so much
This was our jam
Im an old man now ...was a freshman in college when this song came out .....I listen and it takes me back ...yes bitter sweet ...young folks to day .... missed it ...I just cant listen to much of anything coming out now ..
This song was part of growing up for me. I remember passing it on to the next generation. And now I’m in my seventies and it still sends its message. The music will never die…
LOL… Kind of ironic! 😉
My son is 19. He knows all the words.
Buddy H💪💪
Music and love make the world go around, my friend!!
요즘 이 노래가 유행이네요.

This song makes me cry
same. just lost my dad - the last verse makes me cry
Me too . Missing my tatay.
😢😢
Me too, and I'm not even american
Love this song, makes me shiver
I am so happy because our president sang this wonderful song for the friendship and gratefulness for the sacrifice of young American soldiers at Korean war. Thank you Americans.
Such a privilege to live in this Period...I've seen one hundred things I wish I hadn't, and Million things I'm so very grateful I had, this being one!
This was my mom’s favorite song. I miss her. Deeply.
The real mastery here is the songwriting. The way that McLean skillfully weaves in and out of the song all the while keeping the narrative is absolutely unparalleled!
Well said Hanson.
Agreed. Amazing song, amazing singing, amazing tribute to Buddy Holly. Thank you.
Great description
An absolute classic; end of story!
His voice is richer on this version than the original version, so many years later. Amazing!
He's using some technology which auto-corrects the pitch, the tech has moved on a lot and I don't blame him, but you can definitely hear it.
He sang this more attractive than he sang at young age.
BRILLIANT
@@gardenchill4013in 1999?
@@charmedprince hey you could be right, but I think some of that tech was first launched 96 or 97. Cher had her hit 'Believe' in 98 for example. In any event, this is a great performance, I'm just flagging that it feels like some vocal processing and doubling and perhaps a little auto-tune tech is used, but good luck to him. Classic, fantastic song, great live performance with or without a little assistance!
내 마음의 어딘듯 한편에 끝없는 강물이 흐르네,,,,,,,,,,,,,영랑.
멋진 연주와 노래!! 좋은 노래와 가수를 알게 해주신 대통령님 감사해요!!
Why are you thanking the President?
Don McLean is so talented: songwriting, singing. The guy has it all. What I really like about his singing he puts no effects on his vocals. True to his natural voice. Great range, too. Thanks, Don.
He tells a story more than anything so beautifully and eloquently.
What a legend. Several years from now, I’d still listen to this song
You are right, Thanks Don
@@gregnormal5101 Hi Greg, im doing fine, how are you doing? im fan, for sur, I love his voice. Have a great day you too.
@@gregnormal5101 Vincent is always great.
this is not a song, this is poetry 😌
its as sad as a plane crash
Its an epic retelling of a fragment of life and death
You are correct
Poetry
@@helga4791 I second that and the music didn't die, only his friends in a plane crash. I remember this and I understand his pain, but the music didn't die. Love Rules!
대한민국 윤대통령님이 미국 국빈만찬에서 이 곡 한 소절을 부르신게 너무 멋졌다고 생각합니다❤
And every single person in that audience knew every single word.
오래전에 들었던 추억의 팝송 우리 윤통님 덕분에 다시 들으며 어렸던 날들의 추억이 생각나네요^^
God bless him.❤
왜 윤석열대통령님의 애창곡인지 알수있네요. 당신의 멋진 노래를 듣고 아니 자주 들을것같아요. Thank You❤❤❤
아이고 배야 이찍아 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 제발 좀 배워라 이 무학력아 ㅋㅋㅋ
Ironically, there will be no day this song, die.
Can still sing almost every word of this song all this years later. What a classic song.
이번에 우리 대통령님 노래 듣고 찾아왔어요.
아름다운 목소리 여전하시네요.
너무너무 반갑고 옛추억 일깨워 주셔서 다시 한번 감사드립니다.

I heard the President Yoon's singing.
Ans I want to hear the original.
What a good song.
I came to know about Don McLean - American Pie (Live in Austin) because of the Korean president Seok-yeol Yoon.
Thank you for gifting the president of Korea with a guitar signed by you.
Don McClean is already a global singer~* I've heard it once again because of President Yoon.
I was 10 yrs old when the first time I heard this song and I'm 64 yo now, what a great song by Don McLean.

Those were the best times.. Brings back beautiful memories.. I remember Cat Stevens Carly Simons James Taylor Carol King Elton John
nay! you've had the greatest era of music!
I like Don Maclean also. I'm from the Philippines too.
Ok Margarita. I remember this masterpiece. I was 10 years old. Greetings from Perú.
젊어서 엄청 즐겨 들었던 곡!! 이번에 윤대통령이 미국 방문해서 한 소절 부르는 모습 보니 다시 찾아 들어봅니다~ 돈맥클린~ 최고~

February 3rd 1959 the day the music died. Buddy Holly's plane crashed. This song is definitely as American as apple pie. Not many songs rise to the status of this true original. Don McLean is an American treasure.
대학때 가끔 들었던 노래.
35년이 지난 지금 윤석열 바이든 대통령간의 만찬에서 윤석열 대통령이 불러서...
다시 여기까지 찾아 봅니다.💯👍
One of the greatest hits of all time!
Hello!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day. Stay Safe
Don's come through the years in much better condition than many of his contemporaries. Thats always a good sign that someone has a good compass in life.
He still looks pretty good too
We are playing American Pie on the ukulele for a concert among our primary schools that we are doing. Our ukulele teacher, works with Don McLeans manager. And Don said he would love a video of us playing! I'm so excited!
Parabéns pelo bom gosto, será um sucesso!
Few songwriters have this kind of clarity in their songs. This is true poetry set to music.
this song is still my fav
Same
Me too. Super sad nowadays with the country in chaos and no end in sight.
As it should be.
I sat at my dad's grave on his birthday with afew beers played his favourite songs the Beatles , and freebird etc and of course American pie 🥧
Mine as well.
정말 하루종일 듣고 있습니다. 이런 명곡을 이제야 알다니.. 윤 대통령의 18번 곡이라던데 그 이유를 알것 같네요. 너무 좋네요
“The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed”. One of my favourite lyrics.
What a beautiful song
This song has a totally different feel than the recorded version and I LOVE IT!
50 years on ...... of Don and American Pie..legendary...still..here listening on this still pandemic 2022!
Never give up. Never lose hope.
Just the first line
"Long, long time ago..."
brings me to tears.... every single time..... thanks Don
Best song ever!
나만 그런줄 알았습니다. 이 노래를 찾고 듣고 또 듣습니다. 눈물도 나고 뭉클하고 몇일은 갈 것 같습니다.
Chills every time
One of the greatest songs ever written. Not just a song but an elegy for a nation.
Still gives me chills after all these years.
Well said my friend - me also!
This song reminds everyone of that unique time in their lives.
The massacre at the SuperNova festival in Israel brought me back here. Such a sad day and this song really lays claim to it, in my mind at least. Stay safe, stay strong, love each other because killing is wrong…
This song will never die
That’s ironic! 😉
응원 합니다.♡♡♡♡♡
The story of rock has never been told any better. James Deen. Elvis. Buddy Holly Janis Joplin they are all there and a part of each and every one of us must. also be there . More than just a record it's a bloody piece of solid gold poetry and a piece of history. CLASSIC
Great song - I'm thankful for all the song writers over the years that have come out with songs that will be remembered !!!
윤석열대통령님 '아메리칸 파이' 너무 멋지게 부르셔서 Don McLean 원곡 들으니 학창 시절 생각 납니다. 정말 멋진 노래네요~^^
네
Timeless classic . Awesome !
Who's watching in 2024? It was more than 50 years ago when I first heard this song, my pre-teen years. Don, my namesake had a head full of curly and thick hair then. I was born and raised in the Philippines 🇵🇭 and the lyrics didn't mean much, but I learned the chords, memorized the song, strummed my guitar and sang it with my 4 brothers and neighbors. Those were the days. Do you recall what was revealed 🤔 the day the music died?
Watching from an island in the Florida Keys, USA / April 8th, 2024!
Perfect for the total eclipse of the Sun over NORTH AMERICA 🇺🇸
WE saw our American Pie in the Sky today!! 🎉😂❤🇺🇸💕🌹🙏🏼❤️❣️🌓🌕😝😘
@@KhaleesiStJamesKhaleesi! Happy watching!
Watching from Mexico City on June 7
Great song. I remind he said once about this song that it's about the February 1959 plane crash, where Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly and Big Bopper died.
좋은노래 계속 듣고 있어요 👍👍👍
The guy talks the music, he sings to tell a story, a poem: he translates life into music. I grew up listening to this man sing. Thanks again.
Don, your music is an integral part of my foundation. It's hard for me to dig deeper than the memories of American Pie. The patterns that you have created are independent of their material substrate, and a piece of you will carry on with me through eternity... part of me. Thank you for being who you are!
Woah, don liked ur comment
So you like him then
@@charliesouthgate6125 Yeah, I admit here a year later what I wrote sounds a bit fan-boyish. But this song... it's a part of me. It describes the turmoil my country endured through my formative years. And actually, there's a much more personal reason why I love American Pie. When I was a child through the 60's my mother always sang me a song at bedtime. So when I had a daughter in the 90's & 00's I would bring my guitar into her bedroom every night and we'd sing a bedtime song of her choice together. I usually brought in a 3-ring binder of songs I had printed. And her favorite bedtime song was.... you guessed it. American Pie! I sang this song hundreds of times for my daughter at bedtime. When she was very young it was adorable when she'd make the sign of the cross when it got to The Father, Son and The Holy Ghost. Too cute for words.
Now lest you think my daughter was a much deeper thinker than a regular 6 year old would be I should point out that the actual reason she chose American Pie more than any other song was because it was the LONGEST SONG in my 3 ring binder. And children have their priorities at bedtime. "Read me the long one Daddy" :)
Nonetheless, to me American Pie is a masterpiece. And listening to and seeing interviews with Don McLean I can tell that he and I are, to a large degree, cultural birds of a feather. I respect him and I understand what loss he was lamenting in American Pie. I have two older brothers who were about Don's age, and I got to understand the sock hop era through them.
The other day I got a text message out of the blue from my now 28 year old daughter who said "GUESS WHAT SONG IS ON THE RADIO?!?!?!" Shared memories.... they're the best!
@@usmcbrat2 great story my friend, I wasn't being disrespectful to you, I could tell, as Don did also, that you meant every word; I just tried to inject a small amount of humour, hope it brought a small smile to your face,
All the best, Charlie
@@charliesouthgate6125 Thanks, Charilie!
Greatest song ever written in my eyes. When people discover what every single word means in this song, there is absolutely no denying it is the greatest song ever written.
Is there somewhere I can learn that. I guess the reason this song hits the heart of so many of you americans is because those words reflects your history or something like that. Would be fun to understand the meaning. As a Swedish person I just love the song because it sounds great to me 😁

This link should take you to a website that breaks down every line of the song. this song displays the greatest song writing in history. if the link isn’t expired i’m happy i can help :)
@@Evan-ph7jh Wow! Simply wow! Its like he is walking us hand in hand through your musical but also your dark and rough history. I now can see why so many of you consider this song a national treasure. Thank you sir!
@@Cllyx i’m very glad i could help! it truly is a terrific song
As this exchange shows, over 50 years, and people are still finding it.
American pie is one of the best song ever written and composed. Thank you
Whoever engineered / oversaw the audio mix / recording deserves a Grammy. Basically almost every issue that plagues live recordings was addresses here. It also helps when you have talent that is consistent. This is why you need the actual performers at the soundcheck.
Truly, one of the greatest songs ever written and performed. 👍
Poetry to my heart. One of best music storytellers I've been privileged to hear.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day.. Stay Safe
America is so... 🎶💕💖🦊
This has been my favorite song since I was 3. It’s one of the most unique songs of the 20th century, and not a single other song has come close to the energy changes, complex story telling, and constant balancing act between grief and hopefulness. It’s an absolute masterpiece.
I would agree with you except that Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” is just as iconic and legendary. They are equal in importance of the music of their time and stand alone as pure musical genius.
Billy Joel’s Piano Man has kind of the same vibe
All songs of Don McLean are classics... the best of a generation.
Powerful!
Ah, I didn’t realize he had other songs 😂
One of the truly great American songs.
I AM SO HAPPY HES STILL ALIVE

@@DonMcLeanOnline My first concert at the Lancaster PA Opera House. Early 70s. I think '72. May have been 73. I was about 14. Thank you for the memories.
I come from an island called Papua New Guinea. Not many people know about us but the fact that we appreciate this song personifies the reach of this masterpiece. I wish anyone who read this comment nothing but the best in life. CHEERS BRETHREN!!
a musical masterpiece for the ages absolutely fantastic
Mr President Yoon of S.Korea
You Rock!!!!!! May God bless US and S Korea’s alliance forever
I Wish S.Korea will be united soon hopefully in my lifetime 😊
Bravo! You still got it Don. Thanks and congrats for writing this Hall of Fame Hit. It's so All American, and will always be embedded in our memories forever.
This song still brings me tears. It's as much a tribute to Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper & 17-year old Richie Valens as to Don McLean. A powerful song of one of the more tragic moments in the rich history of rock and roll
Well spoken my friend - he has captured the grief and compassion of a nation in the outpouring words oh his very soul!
세월이 지나도 변함이 없는 최고의 명곡입니다~ 돈 형의 라이브 실력도 끝내주네요~ 저의 힐링곡 ~~~
All Koreans are thankful for American's sacrifice, blood and all supports for protecting us for precious Liberty.
Still that lovely tremelo. He sang during my early twenties and I sensed that the USA might just be a place I would have to leave. Now I've been in Canada (as a citizen) for longer than I'd been in the USA.. Austin had been my home. Bye bye Miss American Pie.
You like Canada?
" Saw you dancing in the gym", my favorite lyric of the entire song.. Holy shit do I miss doing that.
Yep.
@@chriscanada4744 I might be a little early but Merry Christmas and thanks Chris. I will be asking the wife,my kids, the V.A. and Santa for that darn Time Machine again this year. Got to get back to the gym one more time.
Have to see it. Thank you DonMclean.
What memories this song brings..
Music is life ! Don Maclean is life !
Probably the best sing a long feel good song of all time. This was energy, fun, love, happy, Star struck, feel good all over. My childhood and young teens would not have been the same without this song…
윤대통령님 덕분에 돈 맥클린 씨를 알게되었고 아메리칸 파이 노래 들었는데 정말 최고예요❤❤❤
(Thanks to President Yoon, I got to know Don McLean and listened to American Pie's song, it's really the best)❤❤❤
We saw Don at a small music venue in Houston, TX a few years before this performance in Austin. He ended with American Pie and brought the crowd to its feet, all singing in unison - it was an amazing moment! As he left the stage, during his standing ovation, he walked by our table.... and I gave him a high five... and thanked him for a great evening!
