A beautiful tribute to a father.
Dan"s father was the leader of an actual band, the kind with all the string and horn instruments. This was his tribute to him and thankfulness for influencing Dan to pursue music as a career.
There are song writers, and there are story tellers. Dan Fogelberg was special.
I know it gets a lot of radio play during the holidays, but Same Old Lang Syne is such a great one! I think we all have someone from our past that we wonder about, and remember fondly.
A bard.
Agree fully ... and yet I feel he never gets the credit he deserves in the legacy of singer songwriters. He may well have been the best of them all!
This is so beautiful it makes me cry every time I hear it. What a beautiful tribute to your dad. RIP Dan Fogelberg ❤
It tears me up too
@@johnlivingston6162 Same here. Beautiful song. My favorite from him. He left this world way too soon. RIP Dan.
Dan Fogelberg is one of my favorite singer/songwriters along with Seger. Dan had so many hits and great songs in the mid seventies through the eighties and beyond. Regarding Leader of the Band. Dan says his Father was able to see the success of this song before he died. He said this song helped bring him and his Dad even closer. Dan said that when passed there was nothing left unsaid between him. I feel the same way about my Dad. We had a great relationship and when he passed 5 years ago there was nothing left unsaid.
Love Dan Fogelberg. Check out Same Old Lang Syne. Great job as usual!
"Thundering velvet hand" is such a great way to describe the discipline of a loving father.
So true! I’ve always have loved that line.
It was a reference to what they said about his dad and how he led his students with a “velvet hand”.
and to describe his father who was band director for Woodruff High School in Peoria, IL, Dan's hometown. Lawrence Fogelberg was also the music director for Bradley Basketball games for a while, and allowed Dan to "direct" the band when he was a kid....setting him on the road of music. Dan was able to play this song for his father before he passed, and has said if there were only one song he could ever write, this would be it.
One of my favorite songs of all time. Dan Fogleberg has some amazing songs. You just found another great rabbit hole to explore
For sure.
Instant tears for me...I haven't heard it in years and I'm really glad you listened to it today.
Had forgotten this song but funny how when you hear a song you haven't heard in decades the words come back to ya. This ones a nice one . Thanks guys 👋hope all is good with you and yours🤜🧡🤛
Fogelberg was A Master Songwriter 😍😍😍😍😍
Dan lived just 60 miles from my home. He was revered by many back home for his talent and sincerity. I was on my way to work when his death was announced. It hit me so hard, I had to pull off the side of the road to grieve. So many tears.
I was at Balad, Iraq when I heard of Dan's passing. Worse day in my 20 plus years of military service.
I was born and raised in Illinois. We love and miss our native son. RIP Dan. We’ll never forget you.
One of the all time great songs...I never get tired of hearing this song...Truly awesome....I played this song for my Dad when he was very sick and Dad had these tears falling down and a big smile on his face as he hugged me...I will never forget that moment...My Dad loved this song...R.I.P. Dad...Thank you both for reacting...The memories came flowing back to me today.
So very sorry for your loss. Don't ever let go of those memories!!
I’m sorry for your loss. I was very close to my Father and he passed 5 years ago. I miss him every day. There was nothing left unsaid between us.
@@carlaharrington5120 Thank you. The memories are strong.
@@kevinminne1460 Sorry for your loss. The great memories will always be there.
Beautiful comment! Peace
Fogelberg was always a favorite of mine. This song came out a couple of years before my father died. My Dad was not an easy man to live with, and we often butted heads, but he was my north star. Every time I hear the line in this song, "And, Papa, I don't think I said "I love you" near enough," I start crying. My Dad's been gone 40 years now, and the reaction is still just as intense. I write this comment with tears rolling down my cheeks.
Leader of the Band (nice tribute to his father), Same Old Lang Syne, and Rhythm of the Rain are my favorite Dan Fogelberg songs. First 2 mentioned are really good story telling songs.
Such a good song. We lost him too soon.
What a beautiful song. RIP Dan ❤
Hi guys, this song is beautiful in all ways, thank u ✌️🔥🎵
Asia and bj check,out his cover of rhythm of the rain. Very good
RIP TO MR DAN FOGELBERG 🙏 🙏
He's one of my all-time favorite artists and this is one of his best. I hope you guys do more Gordon Lightfoot who just passed away too. Here's a Spotify playlist of all the songs I know I like from him 33 songs but only 32 are on Spotify. I'll link the TH-cam one below it.
It wouldn't allow the Spotify playlist here but Longer, Power of Gold, The Reach and Part of the Plan, are some great ones from him.
Asia & BJ, the only song I remember from him was "The Power of Gold" (with Tim Weisberg). Very good song, reached #24.
I like Run for the Roses too. And Auld Lang Syne.
His Dad was the band leader at Bradley University in Peoria, IL. There is a tribute to Dan along the riverside park.
It meant a lot to Dan that this song made his father in to a kind of celebrity which gave him some joy mear the rnd of his life.
IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE SUPER SUPER GREAT SONGS, WHAT CAN YOU SAY!! 😊
I'm sitting here in tears, remembering my Dad....thanks
such a great song! never get tired of it!
Great song makes me think of my father even though he didn't have a musical bone is his body. Should review his song Old lang sine it inspired my first screenplay
Asia.. BJ... Please react to the extended video version of Go Down Easy, by Dan Fogleberg ❤❤❤
I had him in heavy rotation in the late 70s/early 80s. "Rhythm of the Rain" is a MUST!
Lost my dad 32 years ago and I still miss him every day. I used to play and sing this song on the piano and cry real tears while doing it. Dan Fogelberg is one of the most amazing vocal talents and songwriters of all time. Way too unappreciated. RIP Dan, and RIP Dad.
Love Dan Fogleburg. From my growing up time in the 70’s. Beautiful tribute to his Father. 😉
You’ve just found another singer/songwriter rabbit hole 🐇 , Dig deep there’s a lot of great music.
Part Of The Plan is a great request you’ll enjoy 👍
One of my favorite songs then and still is
Dan Folgerberg's music and writing is epic. We had his song "Longer than" played at our wedding. However, the organist totally messed it up. Wife is an organist and still gets angry about it to this day. LOL
I sent this song to my dad on father's day.
Dan had a wonderful way with words. A beautiful voice and was a great multi-instrumental musician. One of my favorites who doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
It's been long enough since my father died that I suppose I can hear this song again without getting emotional. (Later) Well, I guess not 😢
It's been thirty three years since I lost my father and I still cry every time I hear this song
I wish I could tell my dad one more time that I love him.
💕 You should listen to 'The City of New Orleans' by Arlo Guthrie. I think you'll really like it. 🙂 🎶
Dan Fogelberg was a genius with a superb voice. His diction is impeccable.
Gotta say you make a great couple from what I’ve watched so far. And Dan was an amazing musician.
Check out Heart Hotel and Power Of Gold by Dan Fogelberg.
Beautiful voice
Yes he did have!!! Fogelberg was, and always will be one of my favourite singer/songwriters of all time!!! As was said, he was taken much, much too soon from us!!! Still miss him immensely!
Fogelberg is an excellent story teller.Check out "Heart Hotels".
Always liked this one
Sitting here listening to this song which I have heard so many times but tonight it brought tears to my eyes thinking of my DAD! I love also watching you two here listening to these songs too! Dan Fogelberg was one special songwriter folks!
Believe he played every instrument on his first album.
Dan Folgelberg has so many great songs: Hard To Say, Same Old Lang Syne, Longer.
Dan Folgleburg
As The Raven Flies
Dan was born and raised, like I was, in Peoria, IL. His father, who this song is a tribute to, was a band teacher at several local high schools. My mother had Mr. Fogelberg for band. She always said he was a kind, patient but somewhat exacting teacher. We are justifiably proud of Dan!
My Dad was. Medic in WWII, if I could write a song to my Dad like Dan Fogelberg did for his Dad, this is it.
NO ONE wrote lyrics like Dan did.
"Leader of the Band" was a tribute to his father on his father's death bed. Dan's music was my childhood. Now that I am 53, I understand and appreciate it even more.
His dad was the local high school band teacher...and also community orchestra leader. The addition of those horns and orchestra was a nod to his dad.
Love that hat BJ ! 🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥
one of my favorites. Dan loved and honored his father. this song was a tribute to him. one of the most beautiful songs written.
One of my favorite artists. Dan Fogelberg was such a great folk rock singer songwriter & storyteller. He also played multiple instruments such as guitar, bass, piano & mandolin. I had his double album "The Innocent Age" from 1981. "Leader Of The Band" is my favorite song by him, a loving tribute to his dad. He wrote so many great songs such as "Longer", "Hard To Say", "Missing You", "Make Love Stay", "Run For The Roses", "The Language Of Love", "Believe In Me", "Same Auld Lang Syne" etc. We lost him much too soon in 2007.
He wrote the song, and his dad got to hear it before he died.
My beloved father-in-law taught high school band for 45 years. He was an accomplished trumpeter and played in a jazz band on weekends to supplement his teacher's income. When he passed away in 2017, the chapel couldn't hold all those who wished to pay their respects. In lieu of flowers, the family requested donations to VH1's Save the Music. (Many schools at the time concentrated the majority of their money to athletics instead of music and drama classes. Three of his four sons are musicians. I loved him as much as I loved my own father, and now both of my children play guitar and trumpet... a true living legacy.
Such an great voice. A little fun fact: Garth Brooke’s fashioned his sound from Dan Fogelberg
I agree with Jeff 👍
It's impossible to listen to this song and not want to give your dad a hug.
This always was so melancholy and brought the "feels" every single time I listened to it. (On my Walkman, because I could! 😃)
FINALLY!!!! A reaction video to a GREAT musician , songwriter and artist. Asia & BJ… You are now my favorite reaction people 😊😊😊❤ RIP Dan Fogelberg … gone way too soon😢
He wrote so many gorgeous songs...and what a lyricist. Try "Souvenirs" sometime...
Wow! BJ. That was beautifully said! Merry Christmas you two beautiful people!
Dan Fogelberg was a great singer songwriter, definitely loved his music
This song always gets me. reminds me of my Dad. He passed in 2008 RIP😔❤ "the leader of the band' being my family. His blood flows through my instrument(my body)...and my life HAS been a poor attempt to imitate the man. And I never did say I love you near enough. Anyway, love ya Pops. And BJ...she gave you a huge compliment at the end there...'aw Babe, you do a good job' . Good for you man.
Not the same style, but very much a wonderful story teller like Bob Seger. Saw him quite a few times - both with a band and solo acoustic. Which was the last time I saw him in 1997. He was a very underrated musician. Known mostly for the softer stuff, but he could also rock. Even played legit blues -
Dan passed at 56 from prostate cancer. I will pass along his message - guys get annual PSA screening - it can save your life. 3 1/2 years ago (60 yo) my annual PSA test caught what turned out to be an extremely aggressive case of prostate cancer. It was advanced and I had ZERO symptoms. I have no doubt that without my annual PSA screening, well I wouldn't be typing this 😂. Oh currently cancer free.
And yes, his message had an effect on me.
One of the most talented artists from the early 1970’s through the 1990’s. Songs you may know are want to react to are Run For The Roses,( played on Tv during the Kentucky Derby), Longer, a huge hit, with many dozens of great tunes like As The Raven Flies, Old Tennessee, and Power of Gold!Dan was a brilliant songwriter and outstanding musician/ singer!
Jumped on the Dan Fogelberg wagon early being from Illinois where he was from. It's a deep deep hole to jump in. A great singer, musician and song writer. If your looking to listen to more Dan Fogelberg, an often overlooked song from his 1975 Captured Angel album "The Last Nail" is a GREAT song.
Enjoyed watching your appreciation for the music. Music crosses all boundries, be it culture or background.
I spent my high school years loving Dan Fogelberg and listening to his albums. I haven't listened to this song in years, and it hit me in a whole NEW way this time:
My father was a singer/musician and always had a band that played in the local communities (this was back c.WWII thru the 1950s)... He passed away when I was two years old, so I missed out on getting to see him perform, but I still have his handmade violin.
This song made me think about my oldest brother, though: (MUCH older brother, there was over 20 years difference in our ages!) ...My brother "followed in our dad's footsteps" and was a singer/musician too... and it just never occurred to me before, what their relationship might've been like. (My brother also passed away a few years ago.) ...So here I am, all weepy over this song!
This has been a personal favorite for years. Now, I'm 72; I've got a 30 year old daughter and a 27 year old son, with whom I'm very close. And it's ME that's tired and MY eyes that are growing old...and, fortunately,, my son loves this song.
A fantastic song by one of the best in the business...incredible songwriter...and fabulous voice!
Home run analysis!!! His use of metaphor in lyrics is amazing. As a 70's teen his music always seemed to speak to me as it paralled times in my life as well as today. Wet eyes frequently. Hope you can.take a moment to enjoy, " To the Morning", dedication to, Dan Fogelberg video. I was moved watching you enjoy his work. You get it!!
I loved his 'Souvenirs' album so much that I was thrilled to get tickets for his March '76 appearance in San Diego, then again in August '77 when he also featured Tim Weisberg ahead of the release of 'Twin Sons of Different Mothers' the next year. He had a kind of a "touched by an angel" effect on me.💜😇💙
Such a lovely tribute to his dad. Other beautiful songs of his are “Same Old Lang Syne”, “Seeing You Again”, and “Longer” .❤️Another great talent gone way too soon….
I was lucky enough to see Dam Fogelberg in concert twice. One concert was with his band and the other was an all acoustic tour......just him and his piano and an acoustic guitar. Amazing story teller with a beautiful voice and lovely relatable lyrics.
What a legacy Dan's father left behind....a magically gifted son who touched so many with his music.
Beautiful reaction guys! My Dad was an old WW II vet that kept all together for my older sisters and me. He passed a year after I joined the USAF and I had just met my wife of 37 years now. So this song always strikes a chord.
I can't tell you how much time I spent at The Pioneer Inn in Nederland CO, waiting, because Fogelberg lived in town and was rumored to show up once in a while.
I never saw him there, but I did get to see him years later in concert at Red Rocks. That was quite a show.
You guys pick some pretty great tunes. Keep doing that.
His "Run For the Roses" will bring a tear to anyone's eyes that love and appreciate horses, and even those that don't.
This song has always been special to me.
As a young boy that wanted to be like his father and be a cook, I endured alot of sissy boy comments when I chose to take cooking in 4H instead of raising a steer or pig or sheep.
Explaining to them that I was learning with 12 girls including the 5 Schumacher sisters and we ate all the food we cooked, they then became a little envious.
What they didn't understand is that when I watched my father cook for others, family, friends, and customers alike, he was happy, when he could see that people enjoyed what he made he was content, he was successful, it wasn't the money or any position of authority, he enjoyed what he was doing and people really enjoyed his work, I still have friends from school that remind me about the cookies he would make and bring to our football games, he generally made extra just for the cheerleaders hoping maybe it would endear them to me.
Miss you dad so much, RIP Marine, Semper Fidelis.
Fyi, I have been cooking now for 30 years professionally, I may never be as good as dad but I understand how he felt, when you can please a person's pallet and see the satisfaction and or enjoyment that they are actually getting from the meal you have prepared it is very gratifying.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane guys, really enjoyed it.
Incredible singer/songwriter/musician. He made a huge impact on me growing up. Taken away from us way too soon.
When you realize he is singing about his father, the song can bring tears to your eyes.
Great song y'all. He was a great singer.. I am especially fond of two of his hits Heart Hotel and Longer Than. You should check out those.
Another one by Dan Fogelberg in that storytelling vibe is one called:
Same Old Lang Syne
I think it’s also a true story like this one. Have to look that up as I’ve forgotten.
A true classic and a true story teller. Another, classic from, Dan, is, "Auld Lang Syne". I could hear both songs a million times and guaranteed a million times tears will stream down my face.
Could also be our individual relationship with our saviour ❤️
Illinois is another great Fogelberg track. Please do Edwin McCain’s I”ll Be
I love y'alls channel, but I have one problem - don't know if others share ... I often have trouble hearing you two. The intro and the music are usually fine, but I have to strain to hear you two talk. Just wanted to pass along. God bless you
Good memories in this album. Always played in the car when I was a kid. One of moms faves ❤
I always cry when I listen to this song! Thank you for the music Dan Fogelberg!
Luckily his dad was around just long enough to hear his son's tribute.
i grew up on this type of music...great reaction guys as always...thank you
This Man was a great song writer.
What a beautiful storyteller and singer we lost. Saw him live at Red Rocks under the stars. Magic!
Dan Fogelberg definitely knew how to write a song!!!
You should check out Netherlands, beautiful song with so much meaning. Was so lucky to see him live and at one point he was on the stage by himself singing and playing guitar or piano and was so mesmerizing
