John Popper walking around singing and playing music to disabled children is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!!!
NGL, teared up. And I just came here to listen to a live version of a song I first heard in the parking lot getting ready to go into my high school. Bought the CD that afternoon.
REALLY the most beautiful are you a patent
It is. Found just today. Will get cd.
@@mrhumptythat just brought me to tears as well I'm glad I was watching it alone😂
I agree. And music helps build new Neuro pathways too.
He gave all of himself to those kids during the best parts of the song. What a class act.
In a sad way, it kind of represents the end of an era... When love and soul was still running strong... Now just look at the music industry, the world for that matter, today....
Made me cry ...was so beautiful!!!!
@@shaneshitheaddudethat's it tho! We've managed to take love out of everything! Almost seems like it hurts to show love. But what do I know❤
I still show my love every day I make it a point to not let others dull my shine in hopes it’s contagious to at least one soul a day
Fly bravely into the face of convention
As a father of a disability kid this video just brought tears of happiness in my eyes. Thanks for uploading
just the atmosphere on stage those kids would have loved it
I don’t even have kids and this did the same. Those kids looked so happy!
That's my cousin
@@frankwoetko4680 RIGHT ON!!!!!
❤️
I'm a father of a disability child that passed away after his 1st birthday and this video really got me. God bless these guys! Those kids looked so happy!
the best part of the show him singing up close to those kids they were smiling and having fun god bless them
Popper, man, he just gets it. He really does...he's tapped in, feels it, and channels it for us to enjoy and empathize with.
shelly yastagirl yes love the song and plus he did that amazing video ! Perfect
I couldn't agree more Shelly. That was beautiful!
When he sings to them "I want to squirt all over your titties" lol
@Channel Seventy-Two he says something pretty dam close then
I'm not ashamed to admit that this brought me to tears. As a life-long fan of blues traveler, it warms my heart to see the attention John paid to those children. here in 2021 because this song, just like the hook, brings me back!
Cried a little too
Same, I work with disable kids and loved this
I was 100% crying.
@2:34 John Popper, while holding a microphone and harmonica in the same hand, plays the fastest harmonica EVER on his left hand, while casually moving the microphone cord out of the way with his right hand. Legend.
I'm a cold hearted cynic that hates everything. Except this. This is beautiful. Thank you for uploading this.
This takes me to a beautiful place as well. I don’t exactly get it word for word but the melody, rythem and beat takes me away on a joyous ride
I love this song, Popper kicks MTV in the nuts but mtv kept playing this like clockwork because of runaround
You see beauty in music / art... so there is good you, my cold hearted friend.
silenticecream Diogenes of sinope the first sonic loved people just not rich snobs
Best youtube comment ive ever read.
Popper is a class act, bands today could take a lesson in humanity from him
Look up pearl jam at this show too...Eddy is awesome especially during Last kiss
God bless this band ! Who’s here in 2020 ?
Yup happened to have this song pop in my head and I couldn't resist.
Really enjoy this version, and the video. It’s nice to see the attention he sets aside for those families.
@@raymonroe1983 youtube algo thought i needed a pick me up..
Me
fuckin A!
Well that made me cry...man we all can be some real miserable bastards to each other, but every now-and-then ...we wear the hearts that God gave us
Best comment yet
wow I'm a grown man and this made me teary. people don't realize how much disabled people appreciate positive attention since most people tend to ignore them. It takes veery little to make them happy and you don't need to be John Popper to do so.
Paul Buono same here buddy. Looks like the kids really enjoyed that moment!!
I'm right there with you man! Doesn't matter how much I've been through in life, I can't avoid happy tears for heartwarming moments.
Lovely comment
Couldn't agree more!
Amen.
John is a great dude....went right over there and played that thing directly just for them. God bless you John Popper
Mr.SmithGNR Smith not only do i love this verse, but seeing John sing to them is priceless.
Look.... I'm a hard core fkn gangster from Big Hazard gang East Los. I'm not gonna lie this fkn video had me balling. I just felt what is really important in life. These poor children. I hope this made them so happy. I take for granted sometimes what I have. This band is great.
i find it absolutely beautiful that he doesn’t just play a little show for the children, but he goes through and makes eye contact and makes that special moment for each and every kid that will last for the rest of their lives..heartwarming
I'm crying like a baby and I'm a grown ass Man 😭😭😭
But hes a grown ass man though. Lmao
I remember listening to this song in the 1990's when it first came out, I thought he said "the heart brings you back, oh Michigan we like.."
No matter how many times I’ve seen this the excitement on those kids faces is priceless and the carers/parents too. My hero truly ❤️👌
That little girl holding her siblings hand is so powerful. Thank God there is still so much awesome in the world.
I couldnt love a man more than him. How i missed this all these yrs. Beatiful moment and a wonderful man.
0:59 1:04 me too . I must have been stuck in my classic rock genre too long .lol. What a voice and great guitar riffs through out this song.
im not sure if anyone else posted this or took notice of it but ..when he is singing in front of a big crowd he almost never opens his eyes ...when he sings to those kids and moms...he don't blink ..eyes wide open ..bad ass
+Timothy Obrien thats what musicians do, they have their own way to sing n it does not change, thats who they are! they have so much feeling n do whats natural ! hope u can understand that its the way they are! feeling the music with eyes closed is feeeeeeling it!!!!love u gina!
Timothy Obrien ..yep, I Noticed. It's probably because Singing to those Kids was For Him, a Lot more Personal and Important!
Awesome on harmonica
Timothy Obrien it's amazing. I'm crying watching this
Dan B Yup, very touching version of this song!
IF YOU ARENT MOVED BY THIS YOU AINT BREATHIN
I've watched this like 100 times and as a huge fan, as someone who feel this is arguably the best song ever made it sure is the sprinkles on top to see John sing to those kids and their caregivers. What a gift to humanity. Thanks dude.
Wonderful song, indeed.
Same boat
The thing about this that really gets me, while singing and playing to those kids, he delivers the best vocal and solo version I've ever seen him do. Amazing performance he delivered for the kids. I could watch it a thousand times. John Popper A+++++
I love how he casually moves the mic cord out the way as he's shredding that harmonica almost as an afterthought. This guy's a legend.
I noticed the same thing and as I had not seen this before I had no idea what a wonderful thing was about to happen, which made it even more impressive.
@@MikeJones-rk1un Popper could play that solo while reading the phone book to himself. LOL he is well rehearsed.
@@tomthompson5686 I love the performance with Aykroyd and popper.. They're both just shredding the harmonica and it is awesome..
I remember he used to wear a vest of harmonicas like a ammo vest lol
@@MikeJones-rk1un de vi 89 8777,-yo u 6😂😂🤦🏻♂️
I am 47 years old and just ugly cried...
Wow, the way you could see how the kids literally felt the music and how it moved them and lit them up one by one. Beautiful performance and memories for all who were there.
Man I so agree. I've watched this video 300 times and every time it amazes me how he is interacting with the kid's...an they feel it...if you, me or anyone can wrap your mind around how special this was for those kid's, OMG
Every time they hear that song, they will smile
It’s been almost 25 years and I wonder how those kids are doing. I hope each one is living their best life!
They’re probably mostly dead
Jerk.
WTH
You need to seek professional help
Tears. There's nothing more beautiful than this - when he walks back to play music and sing to the kids I kinda lost it. I can only say thank God for John Popper and everyone like him - and I'm and atheist.
@Kimberly Lair Not to argue. I am in the same position. Definitely don't believe in any god, but share this exact sentiment.
JoobyFoo: God is real. No doubt about it! Prayers for you and all mankind that we each know him.
@Kimberly Lair There doesn't have to be a God to feel awesome and wonderful happiness about this. I'm an atheist, there's no god and we all can feel the same emotion. Ken Scar can be a wonderful man with a heart of gold, and no, we still know there is no mythical god. No god has blessed us. John Popper did it because he's John Popper. You know, Kimberly, that there is no god. God is not a moral being anyway. He's ruthless, arbitrary, cruel and if anything, unkind and a murderer and no, the New Testament and the mythical Jesus's human temporary sacrifice doesn't make god all better.
@@joey-ne6pl I guess I can get that a little? But no, really, I don't because to me, it just takes away the innate kindness of the band and the singer, John, their own morality, their own wishes to do good and kind things and my own capability to feel the transcendent joy of the music and the radiance on these kids' faces, and just gives it all to a puppet-master. Why should we do that? Why, when anyone does anything kind, and selfless or beautiful do we have to automatically give the credit away to some "bigger being that just made us do it." How is it even beautiful or kind, then? That bothers me. Do you see what I mean?! Mind you, I'm so happy to see so many atheists speaking up! WTG!!
I’m happy for all people who live in harmony with others, are peaceful and respectful, and have love in their hearts. And I’ll pray for those who don’t yet know truth, that they may eventually understand it.
these guys just dont get the respect they should. Solid musicians, great songs and great shows
It's so beautiful...on one hand, he is cynic about how music has become nothing but a hook. On the other hand, you can see how the kids, who don't understand the words, are moved to joy because of the hook. Makes me think how we are really controlled, us humans, by the smallest amount of love, or a pretty tune...we're just hooked, and will always run back to it.
There was a book that once was written that says in ways, don't be fooled, you may make the words but the sounds came long before
Yes, retired military here grew up in the peace age 60s. This vedio watched it over a million times makes me cry . Yes, cause it lifts me so much, and It's so uplifting of kindness off heart, yes humanity.
As a teenager I didn’t realize I was witnessing the last gasp of great music😔
that boy can SANG!!!
John Popper of the Blues Travlers
He Blows!!!
Hes a vocal magician
Those kids kids deserve a backstage show. John is definitely a stand-up guy for doing that...absolutely incredible.
I’m so relieved I’m not the only person who sobs at this video. Happy tears😭😭😭😭
My son, our Angel now, loved this group and got me hooked, for our great memories. God Speed Blues Traveler!!
I was at this show. This is The Bridge School Benefit put on by Neil Young every year. Smashing Pumpkins headlined, Metallica, Lou Reed, Dave Mathews, Alanis Morrisette, Neil Young, all played. Almost everyone had John Popper come out and sit in on a song or two during their sets. Incredible show.
Thanks for the info. Great experience.
I remember seeing the video of green day playing there, so cool!
Rad
Mike Clayton --- lucky dog, some of my favorite bands ... Neil Y., BT, SP, Met. Dave Mat. WOW, what a line-up. Alanis M. is a gem too. So Popper actually sang with some of the other bands?
Wow sounds great! Those are some great names there!!
As a 41 year old musician who suffers from severe depression i know the power of music. This was just beautiful. Music soaks right through any disability these kids have straight to their soul. You can feel the happy in them
Hope your doing alright brotha. I know what you mean. Love and appreciate you man. Stay up.
This is one of the greatest musical talents of ALL time !!!
I was thinking the same thing when the kid was moving to the beat with a smile on his face
Oh the tears. I used to work with people with cerebral palsy and had no idea this would get to me so much. Those lucky ducks. Wish I was there singing right to their faces I am so jealous. Especially that fast part after playing the harmonica he has a lot of breath this man haha and talent
It's a great song, but when he turned his back to the crowd to sing to the special kids, and seeing how happy some of them were, actually made me tear up a little. John Popper has always been a real cool dude.
True love....look at the parents and how happy they are for their kids. There is good in this world....nothing more pure than a parents love.
👌
TheEDCchannel ...it's what we as parents are Supposed to do..LOVE our children Unconditionally!!!
TheEDCchannel Love this comment...
The kids are even more beautiful than the music! Just look on in wonder at their - and their parents - faces. Now, that is what music IS all about.
Parent's are the magic! That are to make kids grow!! Great things grow!! Much love to YOU!!
51 year old Marine Combat Vet tearing up after this. Good job sir!
53 years old Cuban Master Diver from Coast Guard Special Corps here Sr... With a knot up my throat and not a clue about why...Sr!
@@freesanima Not sure why, something about this group, the environment, the song got to me :) You sill Diving? Got my OW while stationed on Okinawa. Happy new year!!
@@michaelversant8401 Yeah!... It must be something that only master pieces are able to do… I’m not diving any longer Sr… I think I’ve bite more than what I was really able to swallow back in Spain… Were you, by any chance, in touch with UDT down there in Okinawa?... Happy New Year, Sr!
Thank you for your service
comments sucks
How did he keep his breath??? Man, going from the harmonica to that break down / rap section is unreal. Such a gifted musician. Loved these guys.
He's fkn amazing
It is just fuxking brilliant I listen to this song so much and I try to keep up in fast bit but it is soooo hard
He’s got some pipes!!!!!
Who's still listening in 2019? This dude vocal skillz are mad crazy. God bless those precious children.
God obviously didn't bless them in the first place. Keep it outside, god-boy. Lol. There are no gods who choose who to bless and who to leave behind the door.
me! this song has been stuck in my head for a couple months now... it's just so good, and he sings his heart out every time
2019 here and it’s masterful!
1st CD in the stack on my bike when I go cruising, awesome riding music!
2019 greetings from Perú!!👍👍
No one brought me here, I'm a 90's kid and proud of it.
Born in 83 , absorbed every thing the 90s had to offer. And I will never be ungrateful for that!
@@willowe2176 thank God we have videos like this to get lost in and forget about all our worries and stresses! Glad you appreciate the music friend!
Young whipper snapper!
This song has been around forever it just holds a key point in several aspects of life handicapped whether it be physically, mentally , and or emotionally. In this case its handicap children
This just made me freaking cry. I had no idea who he was singing for untill he stood up. God give peace to all of those children.
Nostalgia for days…thinking back to simpler times
At 3:20 I love how excited that girl is to see her sister's reaction when John Popper comes over to sing to her. You have a famous singer right in front of you but you care more about how she responds. Awesome!
Props to whoever put that event together for exposing those kids to some GOOD music.
Neil young.
He plays the harmonica like no other!! Effortless
I was in public watching this on my phone... reading the comments about his singing to the disabled...suddenly I look back at the phone... and literally I started to tear up... had to control myself from crying with strangers around... this was one of the most beautiful acts of kindness... an affirmation of the gorgeousness and power of art and compassion... seriously... the world needs a lot more of this
William Weaver No need to hide the tears, William. Be grateful for the fact that this moves your emotions. That's what artistic expression does when it connects with it's audience! I think it's brilliant that this touches you so deeply!
no lie.
Same her brother
That is the difference having the gift absolute pitch makes. His octaves are perfect, he plays harmonica like he sings, and he sings like he plays. His ear is miraculous. Very rare, and even rarer to see someone showcase perfect pitch like John Popper does.
This got super heartwarming when he started singing in front of all the kids
Until 8/1/05 I was one of those parents in the back that couldn't express with words what gratitude we have for these entertainers and sports teams 🙏 for doing this for free for our children 😢 GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS 🙏 ❤❤❤🧡
This man's voice is so magical. The elevation he sends out.
it's the inflection.
The smiles from 3:49-3:55 make me cry with happiness. God bless you John Popper.
That guy right there, he's definitely going to Heaven someday, no doubt about it.
When I became a pastor, I gave up playing in bands, because I was from the sex, drugs and rock and roll era, however, watching the smiles on those kids faces is really making me rethink that choice.....seeing that joy truly touched my heart and reminded me why I loved playing
His voice is just magical. The whole band of course is magical also
It’s a great song. Just perfect.
Wow the reaction on the kids faces is priceless hats off John awsome video
Kingpin- one of the greatest comedies with a great ending featuring this band!
My friends and I always come back to this video! Happy new year! Welcome 2023!
I have probably watched this video 250 times. If so, I have cried all 250 times. Thankfully, my dad taught me to appreciate and have a soft spot in my heart for mentally disabled folks at a very early age. This video absolutely floors me with happy, happy tears every single time I watch it. Some times I would even describe it as happy sobbing! The looks on those kids faces when he sings to them is amazingly beautiful. If I ever have the honor of meeting John Popper, I will very genuinely thank him for this wonderful act of LOVE and kindness.
This is what art is all about! Using ones skills and abilities to make others lives better. This is beautiful!
Agreed, I am completely choked up watching this. Imagine if everyone could be so thoughtful and kind. I have never seen anything like this before. Thank you JP
Crap, I've only watched it 10 times, was hoping by now the water works would shut off...
I watched this for the first time today and broke down. 😥
Why mention that your father taught you to have a "soft spot" for the mentally disabled? They are PHYSICALLY disabled; they may or may not have a mental disability.
That was so well said thanks
These guys are so insanely talented!!! When the singer started singing to the kids I cried. That was very beautiful. I just wanted to ask Jesus Christ to bless everybody but especially the kids though. My little friends. What a great song and lovely video. Thank you so much for sharing this. You didn't make my day you made my 2022!!!!!!!
this is on repeat, tears daily
If Jesus was so bothered about people he wouldn't have "blessed" these poor kids with mental and physical disabilities 😒
@@tobietera I just see children man. They're not the ones with the disability.
John Popper is a wonderful human being, the music shows it but nothing better exemplifies it than the way he acts towards these kids.
John is such a sweetheart! Loved watching him play to the children ❤️
That was Uber fucking cool of him with the kids.
The 90's were a happier time in the world.
I grew up in the best of times. The 90's and early 00's were the best.
Popper loves these kids. May we all have love for others like that!
The expressions on those kid's faces: Priceless!
This band is a legend. His voice is one of a kind. No wonder no one was able to make covers for their songs.
Can you give this guy a medal for singing to the kids?? Who does that??!
Best generation of music this Earth has experienced.
The coolest concert I have ever seen.
The children loved it,as did I...... so heart warming to see the wonder in their eyes. ❤️
The young man in the crowd clapping with the biggest smile ever.....Pure love
My eyes are wet as that sweet child was moving with the rhythm of his words as he was singing absolutely beautiful!
I saw this guy on roseanne for years growing up on that one episode. Always loved that music but never heard it anywhere else. Just saw it again and decided to look him up. So glad i did. If everyone listened to this music there would be no war.
So beautiful his interactions with those beautiful babies. I love these guys
What a performance!
It is a travesty that this video has been played only 1.4 million times.
Unbelievable guilt watching this. This is a far better man than me. The parents of the disabled are so happy for this moment.
I loved how appreciative the parents look too when John Popper sings to their kids. They get it, he gets it, such a great moment. John Popper even in his lyrics always seems to be for the underdogs.
I watch this about once or twice a year...whenever I feel the need to have my mind blown by such supreme talent!
That kid with the white shirt and glasses, this must've been one of the best days of his life ! He genuinely was having a ball !
Jhon and his Blues Travelers make me drop tears from my eyes again. What i Emotional video.
This video just made me start to cry seeing the smiles on those kids faces. Good on him. Miss the days of music without social media.
anybody who clicked dislike to this I will assume is a mistake or has no soul! Obviously the effort put out by all these bands to give the disadvantaged a small ray of sunshine is and will be remembered as loving human beings! The man John Popper is a living legend not even for his status as one of the best vocalists of all time but because he and his band took time out of their day for this! Much love!
I could watch and listen to this every day just to know my heart still will beat and can feel empathy,
Hard to watch this and not tear up. God bless those kids and their parents.
One of the most underrated bands ever
¡ ¡ ¡ GOD BLESS BLUES TRAVELER ! ! !
Yes
This tune always and forever will remind me of my son,when i first moved into my house ,i bought this cd.on columbia house,lol,anyone remember them?~sadly my son has passed,and i love and thank this band for helping me thru it,cheerz
Where you order CD for pennies and they keep sending you and charging you more money? I loved that company..
Wow, sorry about your son. Hope you’re doing ok now. Music will do magic for people sometimes, especially when the circumstances aren’t that nice.
Sorry about your Son. While not as bad as yours, this song and music like popper's has helped me a lot especially when the times are tough.
I was at Shoreline that day. I forgot about the disabled Children 😔😢. Being relatively young still in '97 (35) now (59) and was just for a Concert and a good time. But when I watch this on You Tube now , it tears me up everytime. I lost my Sister later in life to a roll over accident that broke her neck and left her paralyzed. After failing health and on top of everything else she was diagnosed with Stage IV Breast Cancer which ended her life at 56. Life is cruel sometimes. However , you John Popper are a good man ! 👍
The best moment in music history...
One of the best voices of all time, and his harmonica playing rules. Excellent song writing.
God Bless John for making those kids feel so special and you could see it in their eyes!!! Good on you Brother!
If only their were more like him.
Had a couple beers in me and cried like a baby, good stuff
Wow really needed this in 2020. All the fame and fortune in the world probably doesn't hold a candle to the smiles on the faces on those kids. Really cool song, real cool band. I'm not ashamed to say this brought me to tears while smiling.
Had this song stuck in My head for a week, glad I found this version.
I have 26 years of military/special operations under My belt.
Wanna see Me tear up, put this on.
So beautiful! 😆🌈
Java Monsoon
I was mostly meaning those cute kids, absolutely content rockin out on stage.
Most of "Us" would be to scared to do anything other than pee. 😊
Thanks Brother for the hat tip.
I am a Navy Vietnam vet and I salute you for your service. My reaction to this video is the same as yours.
Thanks for your service sir! Grateful fellow American from PA.
Thank you for your service sir 🥇🥊
I am a general contractor and I salute you
