    It is such an absolute tragedy that this man was taken from us. His voice has brought me so much comfort. I first heard his song "Canol Road" while I was in Rehab 5 years ago. For some reason that song brought so much peace to my mind, which up until that point had been in turmoil. I played that song on repeat the whole time I was there. Then I eventually decided to see what other songs this man had created. "Down the Road" has become another favorite, as well as "Witch of Westmorland" and "Take it from Day to Day."
    I wish with all my heart he was still with us. It brings tears to my eyes that this fantastic talent was snuffed out too soon.

      1983 jumped out at me when I read it, for that very reason. I still remember where I was standing, I think on Memorial Day Sunday, when it was reported on the radio that he had died. We would have seen him the previous year I think, but the concert was cancelled because the US wouldn’t let him into the country. They were on a “protect US musicians from Canadian competition” jag in those days. Thanks, Reagan admin.

    First time I heard & saw Stan & his band perform was at the Calgary Music Festival in June 1982 as I was walking with Kate Wolf (who also performed there) out front of the stage and when Stan sang “45 Years”we decided to get married which happened 4 months later.
    At the end of their set & they began the closing songs, Kate ran backstage to join them. It was the last time I saw Stan but would run into Garnet years later at the Kate Wolf Music Festival where he performed and included Kate’s song “Safe At Anchor” during the weekend festival.

    I was born in 1996, never heard of Stan until a choice encounter where a member of my rugby team performed a rendition of Barrett’s Privateers. I’d never came across the song previously, but it peaked my curiosity. Subsequently, I discovered Stan and his music. What a voice, what a song writer, what an artist. 45 years will always hold a place in my heart. Gone too soon, RIP Stan. I hope you found the boat you longed for.

    Stan Rogers is one of the most powerful musicians to ever touch the hearts of so many .
    When I heard of his passing, I broke down in tears and it took me several months, in fact years, to recover.
    His lyrics of Saskatchewan farmers and maritime fishermen and the love song to his wife are so moving.
    I am so grateful for memories of his life made available such as this concert.
    Love to the memory of Stan .

I consider myself pretty manly. Then you watch Stan and his guys play "45 Years" live and the marshmallow in me rises to the surface. I kiss my wife with dewey eyes. Love and reverence from America.

I never got to see Stan live, which is one of my true regrets, but his music has changed my life for the better.

    I just wanna se...cond all the positive comments on here.
    And speaking of that song, it's both ironic and bittersweet to realize that, according to the song, he was 23 when he wrote it (b. 1949 Nov 29, so that would have been late '72, or almost any of '73), and *Now* is just about 45 years from then!
    And at least we get to see *his* smilin' face still, thanks to the likes of you, Wayne.
    Let's have a round of applause for Wayne, everybody!!

    I have a particularly exceptional affection for the music of three singer-songwriters who were all about the same age (born in the 1940's, like I was), all of whom had wonderfully captivating voices, and who all died way too young, in the 1980's.
    From oldest to youngest: Kate Wolf, Steve Goodman, and Stan Rogers.
    All three of them, first magnitude, and for me, Stan's star is the Alpha in that constellation.

I bought my copy from Garnet but I’m sure it’s available via a Google search..family business. Thank you for making this recording available.

    If there are more videos from this concert please post them. Video was relatively rare in those days....we were still buying his recordings on vinyl! I saw him concert probably close to a dozen times, between a few clubs and festivals. It nearly killed me when my friend called to tell me he died. I can't say we were close friends but we were friendly and he was full of mischievous fun. A terrible flirt and he meant none of it. The music we have, on the recordings, but the sheer presence of him, and with Garnet, and sometimes Jim....they filled a stage, let me tell you. Waves of charisma flowing out over you. And in the smaller clubs, 2-300 seats, it was almost overwhelming. It was breathtaking, in the true sense of the word. God, I still miss him, and it's been damn near 40 years.

    I saw them a few days before this in Bermuda where I too did the sound. Wasn't lucky enough to tape it though. Thank you for this. CB

    This is great on so many levels but that bass keeps catching my eye. RIP Stan!
