Just outstanding!!! Bruce is just gritting the refrain through his teeth here and the guitar break is perfect, incredibly articulate but complementary to the melody and spirit.
ever since i heard this song back in the previous century i've always loved and felt his, sincerity, intenseness and righteous anger. Bravo Bruce and Jan-Douwe
A Deep Song of " RISE UP AGAINST TYRANNY & OPPRESSION By Bruce Cockburn Brilliant Song (1984 2024 ) It Comes Down To The Conscience of Humanity . Our Destiny Relies On CONSCIENCE !
Way better than the studio version out of 1984. Just heard that because I bought the Stealing Fire LP. Now I need to find the 7"-version of this since I want to get rid of the CDS;)
Such a timely song. Central America, Africa, the Middle East or anywhere else people are threatened by tyranny can relate to the lyrics. Is this the fate of the US?
Strongest protest song I know - so far. Another favorite: Lives in the balance, by Jackson Browne. Both about America's dirty wars, and both old. Can you suggest more recent songs so outspoken about political or economic injustice?
Absoluut, en de cd-versie klinkt zelfs nog beter. Staat ook op TH-cam, indien iemand zou willen vergelijken en genieten. th-cam.com/video/h3gqoD12yCo/w-d-xo.html
If necessary, anybody can take up arms, and sometimes the power of lyrics can be stronger than all the weapons in the world. During the American civil war, high school teachers found themselves leading a platoon into battle.
back in the 80s i was working in the mailroom and some viet nam veteran was singing something over and over on the walkman headphones. i couldnt understand him. somebody said it was if i had a rocket launcher. he didnt see 60. them old timers feel sorry for stuff they were forced to do. not me. im 70 now and you cant get even when your planted in the ground.
Superb, Visceral, Antediluvian, Transcendental.
Love love love this song Bruce, youre amazing!!!
He's one with the universe in this recording. My god, the guitar work!
Artiste extraordinaire. Writer, amazing vocals, and some exceptional guitar skills.
Onvoorstelbaar goed nummer en onvoorstelbaar actueel..
Herinner me dat ik deze uitzending op de radio hoorde. Ademloos geluisterd

Just stunning!

Saw Bruce live onetime. He was excellent.

Love this version! He plays it so well and the inflection of his voice is perfect. Love Bruce
My favourite version of this song too.
Hard to hear that as one guitar. Amazing.

Our Destiny Relies On CONSCIENCE !
His lyrics and guitar playing are uplifting.
Loving the sound of that steel guit box
I've been thinking of this song a lot lately, in regards to the suffering people of Ukraine. Some things are timeless, and this song surely is.
Don't get much better than this... PERIOD.
Wauw!! Een van de beste sessie ooit, toen al!!
Nice version. I just won tix to see him next week. Rock on Bruce!
Thanks for posting this. Terrific version (great sound production) of one of the best songs ever written.
Eindelijk op TH-cam. Héérlijk!
Te mooi!

White Buffalo - Wish it was true
Pink “dear Mr President”
Sunday Valley- Folded Flag
Sturgil Simpson-Call To Arms
Waiting for a miracle
Geweldig! Kan het zijn dat dit een tweede keer is opgenomen? Klinkt anders can van de cd die ik “grijs” gedraaid heb?
Mac Expert vond ik ook precies, zit in de kleine dingen
Ik heb de cd versie vaker gedraaid dan goed voor mij is en ik denk het ook ;)
@@wouterhumme3051 Ben niet zeker, maar denk dat de CD vroeger uitgebracht is dan 1998. Dus denk ook dat dit een tweede versie is.

You can borrow mine.
Jan douwe...thans.
This dude will not be seen anywhere near a rocket launcher let's be real

His voice is a rocket launcher
He probably should've not written this song if his true aim was to acquire weaponry of any kind
Who needs a weapon with a song like this?
The last millenium created some great music.
Kippenvel

"if I had a rocket launcher, I'd make somebody pay"
*Immediately pans down to his painted fingernails*
This has to be a joke lol
He uses his fingernails as picks. I think the "paint" is a nail hardener.
I don't believe in borders
Doctors without borders!!! ❤
Makes you wonder if his personal manicurist starts sweating while working on his built in guitar picks! 😰😂🎸👐
HE WAS SO SPEACIAL TO BRING HIS MUSIC TO THESE PEOPLE . INSTEAD OF WEAPONS HE TRUELY DOESNT BELIEVE IN HATE .
