- En apprenant la venue à Paris de Glen Hansard, le leader de The Frames et la moitié de The Swell Season, on s'est tout de suite dit qu'il fallait qu'on tourne une session avec lui, la merveilleuse prestation qu'il nous avait offerte en compagnie de Marketa et de ses autres musiciens pour la première (www.lecargo.org...]) restant gravée comme un des plus beaux moments de musique que Le Cargo! a pu tournés en 300 et quelques sessions.
Alors on contacte Claire (qui s'occupe de leur promo et qu'on remercie chaleureusement pour son aide toujours précieuse!) et elle nous répond qu'elle va voir avec Glen car théoriquement il s'agit de son "vacation tour", c'est à dire sa tournée de vacances. Et ça s'il vous ne le saviez pas déjà, ça en dit beaucoup sur le personnage, sa passion pour la musique. En effet, vu tout le stress et la fatigue, l'aliénation même, que représente une tournée, demandez à un musicien s'il ferait une tournée pour occuper ses vacances et il vous regardera comme si vous sortiez tout droit d'un asile.
N'importe quel musicien mais pas Glen.. qui s'est donc lancé avec quelques amis dans une petite série de dates en Europe mais il nous expliquera que c'est quand même très différent des tournées habituelles, là ils voyagent léger et restent quelques jours dans chaque ville. Ils ont l'occasion de profiter du cadre et de faire des rencontres, ce qu'on n'a rarement le temps de faire dans une tournée où l'on joue chaque soir dans une ville différente.
A Paris, ce sera donc le centre culturel irlandais dans le 5ème arrondissement, le genre d'endroit pas très connu mais qui gagnerait à l'être ne serait-ce que pour sa très jolie cour intérieure (ouverte au public) où l'on peut s'arrêter pour lire ou discuter.. ou encore pour tourner une session acoustique... et comme décidément la chance est avec nous, on profite aussi d'une belle lumière de fin d'après-midi (même si le soleil un peu taquin jouera souvent à se cacher derrière les nuages au milieu des morceaux)
I didn’t think a compelling cover of astral weeks was possible
Thank you
I didnt think so either, gladly we've been both proven wrong 🙂
I was scared what I would find looking this up. Was not disappointed! 😍
You can literally hear the holes enlarging in his guitar as he strums.
Viva the memory and mail of Van Morrison!
Thank you so much
Holy Shit, Glen Hansard.
Oh Yeah !!
I agree with creepycoyote, how could anyone hear the passion and energy coming out of Mr. Hansard and not be moved. Just amazing, he sets the artistic bar for all musicians to reach for.
Songs from Astral Weeks are incredible. What an album. He really did a great job with this cover.
Thank you so much
Unreal cover. Won't ever get bored of hearing this
Thank you so much
shivers..... every single time i hear this... shivers
Stillt oday we hope ?
Damn good mate. I came into this expecting some half-assed version of a classic. I was mistaken.
Damn good mate. Damn good
I have no hesitation in regarding this rendition, as beautiful as the original.
He's got to open up his upper register, it sounds painful
How on earth does he keep that thing in tune. Crazy. So freaking amazing.
This is my all time favorite Glen Hansard video. 2:45-3:03 is just insane strumming!
Ho thank you so much !! so so much
He's strumming faster than the video camera can capture!
Nice to see someone play with proper passion. Much love from oz. x
Bloody hard song to do justice to and you nailed it. The end 'phew' I could tell where you were at lol
This really is one of my favorite videos on TH-cam.
ho this is crazay, thank you so much
So amazing. I love it when that lady walks by in the background, turns to look and just keeps walking. Do you know how amazing it would be to just stumble upon this performance?!
That exhalation at the end is the sound of a man who is relieved he didn't break his E string, thereby blinding himself.
for a guy that plays his strings really rough, I've seen him break them just once or twice
Love that guitar, man. It's alive. Great job with this track.
The soul given in this performance is something that can be shared but not replicated. Thank you for giving yourself to such a beautiful song.
Thank you somuch
The echo from his voice around the whole area. Wooo
You're right ! amazing
I just wanted to share that I have been imitating Glen on guitar ever since I first saw this video. Glen has taught me everything I know about strumming. This is by far one of my favourite covers AND acoustic performances ever and I must say thank you. ~ One day I will nail the song like he does!!!
that man can chant, that man can sing and he strums those strings like a machine gun rings
This man is amazing !
Very very few people can cover a mystic masterpiece like Astral Weeks, Glen is one... He understands the feel.
Thank you
HOLY SHIT. Well done sir. Not only a deep cut but a fantastic job at it.
Thanks for your words
I wish he would release this on an album. I love it! he's my favorite singer-songwriter.
That's what I call giving a good beaten up to a guitar....a well deserved one! Man, what a voice!
Can believe I saw him in Austin open for Eddie Vedder. The absolute best concert i've ever been too.
Proud to be from belfast! Simply beautiful!
Thank you !
what a stroke and what skill to strum the guitar !
;-)
I swear I always get shivers when I hear that man.
OH MY!💝
My body, mind and soul have been effected!
I thank you my brother.
Thank you, blessings to you and your artistry. 💎
🎼Van Morrison, 🦁, our lyrical god, gave us this beauitful gift of song.
🦋The first time I heard this song my life changed, that was about 2 months ago, perfect timing, im 45 years old and on my spiritual path, eyes wide open
AWAKE! and Ascending🆙️
Hearing this version for the first time this evening just has blasted me into the universe my light beams so bright 💫
I am sending out an abundance of love and gratitude to BOTH music men.
Thank you so very much
🎶MUSIC FOR THE SOUL💜
Thank you som uch
Heard him in Vegas with Eddie Vedder, front row seats. It was awesome
Simply AMAZING... I was SO sad when they took down the first vid of him covering this, but I gotta say this version is just a TOTAL joy to watch/hear. What amazing emotion he imparts and what great justice he does this song. Personaly, THIS is my favorite version of this song ever done.
Belle intensité, quand l'âme toute entière se met à chanter , ...
C'est exactement cela !
There are few words that do just what "this" is justice and astonishing is only JUST one of them... Amazing feel, voice and power. Love it. So amazing.
Thank you !
Be great to see him and Willie Nelson do this on their battle weary guitars. Glen playing rhythm, Willie goin' into the stratosphere on lead....
Wow brilliant.
The fan man of the van nan❤
J'ai découvert Glen dans once , et je dois dire que je suis vraiment admiratif de ce monsieur , quelle talent , quelle voix.
Il vit chaque note , chaque mot et il nous emmène avec lui , et je suis ravi de chaque voyage effectué en sa compagnie.
Chapeau melon l'artiste! vivement un prochain album et un autre petit film pourquoi pas^^
Glen is absolutely--one of the best singers and voices of this generation.
You're so right !
Fantastic version.
Twoo years after : Thank you
respect.. this is a really hard song to cover, done brilliantly 🌈👌
Three years after a huge thank you
wow holycrap that was amazing
Amazing performance...
wow !! very very very nice ! ♥ love this cover !
deep cut indeed cool cover
much love
Thank you !
So much passion, he's managed to wear a hole in his guitar! Love it.
Oh yeah! Wonderful. Visually and Acoustically.
Thanks for sharing the moment,
And all the strings are still there!!!!!!!!!!
This is fantastic!
You can not be better. No.
Simply the best
;-)
Listening to this with a a few pints WOW!!
tears in my eyes...
Outstanding 👍
You're right.
Holy Smokes. Bravo.
thank you
that was awesome. that song alone is one of my favorites. then Glen Hansard! amazing
Thank you so much
this was recorded with a Zoom H4n and its internal mikes, of course there's always a better gear for an audio geek but for outdoor sessions and the pain already in my back it's a good compromise :)
Sounds great!
Holy smokes!!!!!
Brilliant !!!
Amazing.
Gorgeous... I love it.
We love Glen !!
I've broken so many strings playing glen hansard songs.....are his strings made of iron cables
+Justin hateswasp that makes 2 of us, plus dont forget snapping your strings trying to tune the guitar for his different tuning settings in everysong aswell
the way he plays kinda explains why his guitar looks so fucked up though...
+eşeğinz2 Glen's guitar does not look fuckt up to me! it looks well played:D a sign of a busker. The guitar is called the horse btw!
+Justin hateswasp Try 'elixer' bronze wound, they last for ages!
I have the same issue, and it's costing me out the ass. Then again, you and I may have a problem in our stringing technique. Are your strings breaking at the machine head? Mine are and I believe that's a sign of poor stringing methods.
That guitar looks damn good. I love the "well-worn" look.
why would anyone vote hands down on this? IMHO Glen signs with more heart and soul than anyone else in the on TH-cam. If some one is better PLEASE tell me so I can watch them
Haha thank you Dorothy
Thanks great 👍 cover song cheers
Thank you
Pure emotion…
about time. youtube is crammed with less than interesting van covers.
But not this one ;-)
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
awesome song@!
Incredible.
C'est excellent.
Merci
Inspirational !!
wild and emotional. i enjoyed that a lot
Brilliant guitar.
WOW
Yes !!! haha
Awesome man
Ho yes
AWESOME
Madre mía!! Sin palabras. Me encanta
Merci merci
Tell it til you sell it, you curly-headed fire
Perfect
can't get enough if him..
You have a lot of videos from him on our channel....
Amazing
This song is extremely similar to ''I love you but goodbye'' song by Langhorne Slim!
Good job
Thank you
Wow
Merci
Sei un grande
Oh oui ! Merci
@cuuliem yes it' indeed Astral Weeks the name of the song
A very, very good guitar player and singer. He sure does give his guitar a work out. I'd have bought a Takamine with a pick guard.
D TheBassman I bought one 11 years ago but believe me it needs the pick guard.
And on a technical note he doesn't need to use the double strum every chord. That's why his Tak is fucked
On a technical note, he's known around the world, and we've never heard of you. Hmm....
;-)
Nice cover
Thank you
This man must have a high consumption of guitar strings.
from our past experiences with him so far one string per live show :)
Watch Dog. A high consumption of guitars more like. He’s only had that one for a week!!!
very nice.
been thinking about trayvon marting, snowden, and the boiling mess that is Syria, Egypt and the middle East. Man this song soothes the savage beast
thank god.
You welcome ;-) Thank you !
Holy Strummer :O
Thank you
very good!
+Jonathan Asquith Thank you !
bravo cher ami
@swellframe thanks for the correction
Dare I say it? Better than Van Morrison himself! Incredible as always.
Thank you !!
Not even close. But it's a great cover
Sultans of swing solo is easier than his strumming
Haha thank you for this comment.
Could probably agree with you there mate it’s certainly up there I love the album astral week masterpiece by van and this cover wow man I’m from up in the north east of England 🏴 only 22 years of age been brought up on all this stuff by me dad couldn’t thank the bloke enough
I can't keep up with the solo of Sultans of Swing.
On Guitar Hero.
On normal difficulty.
i realize I'm kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good site to watch new series online ?
@Josue Andy flixportal :D
AMEN.
GINGERS DO HAVE SOULS
Wow, this guy is the best kept secret.
Like it :)
