- My understanding of this show is it is in the early 1980’s when Dan was at the peak of his career (most of the songs are off of Phoenix and The Innocent Age), one of the major networks filmed one of his concerts with the intention of airing it in the near future. Unfortunately, half way through the show Dan’s voice cracked and he lost his falsetto. Consequently, it was never aired. Somehow someone got a copy of the recording and that led to me being able to buy a VHS tape of it off of eBay back in the late 1990’s. When I discarded my VHS collection I digitized the tape and put it on my computer and then burned it to a DVD. There are many great songs not usually heard in other shows like Face The Fire, Tell Me To My Face, a solo acoustic guitar instrumental of Eleanor Rigby (a fill in for one of the songs he needed his falsetto for), and many, many more.
Because of the source and age it isn’t of the best quality of course but still very watchable. I divided it into two sets due to the upload time for TH-cam. I’ll put the link to the first set in the comments.
I guess everyone's life is just a string of coincidences. I loved Dan Fogelberg and his songs were always on the radio when I lived in San Antonio. I had a favorite place there downtown near the Alamo. Near the Magestic and the old hotels. One night as I sat in an incredible old bar celebrating what seemed to be one of the most triumphant nights of my life, after the completion of a hard and long project and the beginning of the end of my life there. I was not alone but something was aching inside about things I didn't understand. I was missing my grandfather and already missing this whole place, going back to a home I never planned to live in because it just didn't seem real somehow. A place where nothing was old or natural, and I had seen the water halfway up the homes there. Many years prior, actually right after my move from Louisiana to Texas, there were mighty storms and floods. And bent tres in the woods by a river. And my grandfather and parents said it was very risky, if not just bad judgement to settle on river bottom and build on land where palmetto flourished. And so we did exactly that. I remember before the dam went up. I remember seeing signs about how high the water level would be when there was no lake there yet. And it's probably all good, and I don't blame or judge a single entity involved. Something about living below that much water gave me a dark feeling and I let go dreams of Arkansas I looked up at the ceiling of that hotel bar that wasn't thrown up overnight in anybody's recent memory. It was old and from another era that seemed familiar and sad. And I never will forget as I stared up at the beauty of it and drinking champagne, Run for the Roses was playing on the radio or jukebox or something, and Dan was singing it to me. It's burned into my memory like yesterday. The records and CDs are long gone but that memory will always be there. Like everything else that happened to me in that area that took me four years to learn to navigate because the roads are so random and screwy with the entire world trying to get in to see a very tiny church and the most awesome zoo and gardens. And they all crowd onto a beautiful little river of lights and ride boats and try to forget or remember something. And they say to remember it but the truth is lost. Funny how libraries catch fire. Really. I still don't understand but I do know it could not have been an accident that this music was there with me all the time.
All the songs I knoq and love and can sing all the words to. Thx !!!
Love you Dan. Forever your loyal fan. Rip handsome man ❤
Thank you for this! Amazing look into this period of DF, what I would give to have the original board sound! And what a great testament to DF's Guitar playing.. This show Rocks and how for the life of me is this man not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame? It's a total injustice, maybe "One day they'll all understand"!
2 years later and I'm coming across this video... I saw Dan numerous times through the years from the 70's to a couple of months before he passed. I have been a fingerstyle guitar player a long time and part of that is due to this guys pickin style. One of the last times I saw him play he couldn't sing like he did in the past, so he was picking his ass off all night. There were 7 guitars surrounding him and a grand piano. Maybe 1000 people in a small theater. I was mesmerized by his playing and of course his writing all these great tunes. Thanks for posting...
😊
Thanks so much for going through the hoops to acquire this, and then make it available for all of us to watch, and APPRECIATE it so much!!!!
I foolishly thought I knew a great deal of Dans. exceptional music bàck decades to Tim Weisberg. Thank you fof
sharing
I recently rediscovered him after 40 years
Now, he's. All l want to listen to
...,/wish he was still here but he is just away and singing with the angels😂
There are many people that did not know that Fogelberg could play lead guitar solos with soul, intensity, and precision. I have never seen him with his band, but I was very fortunate to watch him play with all three when he showed up unannounced and played a set with a good local band called New Moon in Nederland, CO. They played some songs of his and New Moon nearly smoked his touring band. We were sitting (then standing of course) about 20 feet from the stage. What a gift.
Timeless music. I love listening to Dan as much now as in the beginning. ❤
What a gift . Merci beaucoup . My favorite artist since 1975.
Ohhhh woweeeeee ❤ Eleanor Rigby ❤❤ Steph at New South Wales Australia 😮❤❤
had never seen fogelberg live but enjoyed this immensely! i have followed his music for years since the 70,s! brings back a lot of good memories! sad he is not on this earth anymore...would love to hear what he has to say now almost 15 years after his death. he was a brilliant artist...so talented and gifted with his understanding of life and love!
I'm 65 yrs old and, despite never having seen Dan myself, he is my favorite SINGER/SONGRWITER ever. After that I put John Odransik (5 for Fighting), Paul Simon, Harry Chapin and Jim Croce.
@@terrigramofgirls3565 I am 65 also and NEVER got to see him perform live in concert. I was introduced to his music in 1978 by a dear ❤ in TN also named Dan. Ole Tennessee is special to me💔😢 Wonderful memories....a Grandma Terri of 2 boys & 2 girls❤😍🙏❤
I'm fortunate to have seen Dan about a dozen times. First time at Carnegie Hall in '79... The presence he commands on stage is amazing. Incredible lyricist. Unforgettable melodies. Best singer songwriter ever.
I couldn't agree more. Pretty amazing that we are still enjoying his music starting from 50 years ago!!
I saw him many many times, and I listened as his voice aged and deteriorated as the time went on. Which was so sad, because he had such a beautiful voice for so long until the surgery. But I was fortunate to have been able to see him do both Netherlands and same old Lang syne along with a bunch of other piano numbers live. He was an incredible and gifted writer and singer and arranger.
Wow, Just found this gem. I saw this tour (the Innocent Age tour, January 25th 1982, McNichols Arena, Denver CO). Amazing tour. and here it is...thank you for posting this. bringing back so many good memories. I remember on the song The Reach, there were at least 2 twelve string guitars and the sound was incredible. Kenny Passarella on bass is always a huge plus and Russ Kunkel on drums. WOW!!
Saw him live three times and better each time RIP Dan love Cath
Everytime I hear him I miss him more. I didn't know him, but I felt I did.
Thoroughly enjoyed this, I love the older songs and he's just great, he only used premier musicians, there is something awesome about I'm, he gives him all. Truly love this man. Thank you for sharing.
I was fortunate enough to see Dan at Nassau Coliseum, Radio City Music Hall, Jones Beach Theatre and several times at Westbury Music Fair, some shows solo acoustic and others with a full band. Always great shows. Not many artists can pull off a solo acoustic show in a large venue, but Dan could.
It appears we attended many of the same shows.
Cheers 🍷
Me too saw him at all those venues also.

Dan was an amazing guitarist as well. Thank you for the music.
The man could WAIL!!
I've always dreamed of hearing/seeing him just let loose, stretch out and full-out jam, but I'm happy to get a little taste here on "Empty Cages".
Thanks for posting.
Thank the Lord the footage has been restored.Previously it was jumping around like a kangaroo on speed! What a band Dan assembled together here.All world class musicians in their own right.Joe Vitale on Flute,congas and a multitude of other instruments! Wow!I It tells its own story about Fogelberg and the respect his peers afforded his talents. Magic!
Btw, it is a tribute to Dan’s talent that he has attracted such widely recognized and talented band members like Vitale and Kunkel.
And Passarelli...all giants in their own right that's for sure
A treasure! Lot's of work to transfer/rip/load to the digital domain. Thank you!
"The Last Nail"... what an absolute treasure.
I know right? My absolute favorite ! Just Epic
Every time Dan and Tim played together you would feel their friendship of love. Their Truth and GIFTS came shining through.Where they traveled WISDOM was there . People saw and learned. Parts of the world were changing. Their mu
Oh yes thank you
Such a great band!
this is such a gift! My folks had this on VHS too, and it's one of the early musical memories for me. Always loved the version of "Eleanor Rigby"!
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for posting! Huge fan but never got to see him live. Some of my favorites in these sets -- I was just starting college when The Innocent Age came out and it remains a huge anchor in my life. What an amazing human being he was!
Easily my favorite musician. Thanks for posting this --another live video of one of his concerts. I think this was in Houston, and if that's correct I was at this show.
THANK YOU for sharing

27:09❤❤ "Just say that once you used to know me". Really touches me. Well the whole last verse
I hear you've taken on a husband and child
And live somewhere in Pennsylvania
I never thought you'd ever sever the string
But I can't blame you none
So let the ashes fall and lay where they will
Just say that, once, you used to know me
One last time, sing that old song we used to know
But this time, sing (this time, sing)
This time, sing just a little more slowly 30:47

❤️ I love this! Thank you for sharing it with us! I saw Dan twice in Nashville…. 1979 and 1984…..both times he was beyond awesome!
Just discovered this -Thank You❗️I regret I never saw him in concert. Dan Fogelberg was/is the real deal.
he blew his voice.. but kept going
27:23 27:24
HELP
Why does all the concert footage of this great artist suck.
Not many shows with good production, and heavy-handed production on his LPs? Call it “the CNS Problem.” My guess…
It seems that he seldom chose to actually release his concerts. I think all his music was so amazing and varied in his style. No one else so talented in my humble opinion.
