RIP you amazing gift to mankind......thank you for you love of Mother Earth and for sharing your talents with us while you were here.....you are missed and always loved!
I was lucky enough to see Dan 17 times over his career. I am also a seasoned musician and out of 47 years of attending numerous concerts in all genres of music. Dan was the best sounding musician I have ever heard. Rather it be with the band, or, by himself, NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE SOUNDED AS GOOD AS DAN!!! Best interview of Dan I have ever seen!!! Thank you!!!
Mike, I think you beat me. i saw him about 15 times the first time being at Carnegie Hall in NYC back in, I think it was 1979. He opened with Netherlands. what a night!! Like you I've seen quite a few concerts and I completely agree, Dan is without question, a stand out. No one else's music has impacted me the way he has.
It's been four years since I first posted this. Almost 30 thousand views now. I thank you all for your participation in keeping Dan's spirit alive in this world that desperately needs his lost spirit. As far as the guy in the beginning goes, no conspiracy. He is the interviewer and we needed him to sit in prior to Dan's arrival so that we could properly light the room. DV3002.
Dan Fogelberg's music has been a part of my life since I was a young teen. I am now almost 52 years old and am now just really deeply appreciating him. I remember when he passed away I was very saddened, but the more time that passes, the sadder it seems to me. Probably because I realize all the times I had a chance to see him in concert, and just took time for granted. I did however realize as a young teen, his music was very heart and soul felt. My first official job was as a typist for Aetna insurance agency, and I remember being given his home insurance policy to type. Just the summary in the use of the home deepened my admiration and image of him. Sorry to ramble. Its just nice to see people still getting into his music. Been playing "Hard to say", over and over again, and discover more pretty much every time I hear it. I have always loved the line " like why each time the sky begins to snow you cry". That line alone caused me to fall in love with the song the first time I heard it, and I love it even more now. Thank you for your posting the video
So bummed!!! How did I miss this??? I have always been a 'huge fan' of his music from the 70's. His music flowed from the heart on many everyday issues we all have or will deal with. His voice needed no band or musical group to hold him, he could stand alone with his velvet smooth voice and rock you to sleep, a cappella or just acoustic guitar, even on a stage. His songwriting is up in my top ten favorite (Carol King, James Taylor) songwriters of all time. I will so miss this man's spirit and contributions to music! So sad.
As a young ten year old girl growing up in Western KY and around horses, I can clearly remember the first time a song on the radio made me cry. It was upon hearing "Run for the Roses". To this day Dan's music has a precious mark in my life. Thank you for the awakening to such a beautiful form of art.
Wonderfully intelligent and talented man! I met him in the '70's and jammed with him in Nashville at a little hole in the wall bar on Music Row. We lost him way too soon! :(
What an amazing artist Dan was. He was a poet, a true musician, a sage and inspired man. I can't imagine my life without Dan's music. I, too, have walked alone in "the lofty San Juans" and Wild Places was one of my favorite albums.
I have always found Dan to be so awesomely amazing. I was so saddened when he passed away. I love his Part Of The Plan song very well. Truthfully, everything he did was easy to adore.
I first heard Dan in 1976 in Maine while visiting friends who had moved there. It was such inspiring music. I remember they had a piano in this one house and they let me play it. I played Netherlands. Beautiful.
Awesome!!! Found this on December 16th-3 years since Dan passed. Bittersweet to say the least. He was so animated and so full of life!! And like others have said--a very wise man. Always admired how Dan didnt fold to commercialism-making his music more honest-from his creative soul. And those eyes-oh my!!! Make my heart melt!!!! Sure wish Dan was still with us,,,,,,
Back to watch once more! Dan's eyes at the very beginning when the interview said something about Arsenio...funny!! Could almost see Dan balk at the interviewers ineptness! Dan was very articulate and passionate about his music. He certainly did like diversity as his own music proved with the many genre he explored so well. I am glad he stuck to his guns and did his music his own way, never conforming. I think Dan was comfortable in the amount of popularity he always had. He was a bit too private for the superstardom trail and seemed to pull back when he was heading that way. It irks me when his music is dissed..certainly those people never bothered to really listen!!! I am proud to be a Dan fan for since the mid 70's when 8 first discovered his music! He is and will always be my favorite!
(This is my 4th 'Reply'... can't help it! I'm a Dan freak. Anyway I love this interview, Lin Bell, 'cuz it's so revealing. We can see alot of different emotions in his face, not to mention some kind of strange things like when he wiped his mouth and then looked at it.
I love listening to Dan talk...his opinions are so valid. And I love watching his facial expressions! What a beautiful face! Thanks for this posting. We miss you, Dan....
In this innerview- - - he says, just another talk show- - -. That really says it all for me as far as his popularity. He never really cared for "self promotion" except for on stage. And except for that was a very private person. I lived in Boulder for a while, Netherland wasn't that far up the mountain. Although he had moved by then, the people that I talked to said he was always, quiet, almost shy and unasuming. Just a regular guy. No suprise there huh!?
One of the great songwriters who had the insight what was really going on. Extremely talented man who wrote some of the best lyrics I've ever heard, both romantic songs and songs that touched on a political or environmental issue. Like many great singers/groups he has been falsely labeled by the shallow music industry (as he points out the shallowness in the video) and doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
Thank you so much for this wonderful gift!!!! These eyes.....!!!!! There are only a few wise men like him..a human...fighting for nature and animals.We needed more of you..you`re gone too soon. Losing this wonderful man ... it was almost like losing my own brother!
Dan's lyrics have formed the backdrop of my adult life (college and on...) and I find myself saying things like "I miss him." Having never met him that might sound a bit stalkerish, but he and his words and music have been a part of my life for 30+ years. It's heartbreaking that he was taken from us at such a young age, but he has left an incredible legacy behind.
I needed an injection of Dan in my heart everyday throughout all his works and I'm devastated I never saw him live in concert. Thank you for posting this interview. We most surely share the same feelings on life.
Thank you so much for posting he did so little interviews you are real lucky! I am a huge Fogelberg fan. I am a life long musician owning all of Dans music. He inspired me to play all my own instruments and accompany myself while playing live or recording my own songs! So I started playing guitar at 11, piano at 19 and was a drum major in college. I also play bass guitar and harmonica. I love you and your music Dan you are so missed!
Hey Beth...I a Danfan too! I come back occasionally to refresh..gosh, I still miss Dan and I still listen everyday..never ever tire from hearing Dan song...he excelled in so many genre, it's easy!!
From a number of interviews I've seen, I get the impression that Dan didn't particularly like doing interviews. He kind of bristled when the interviewer incorrectly named Arsenio Hall's show rather than the Tonight Show where Dan had done a guest spot. He often seemed like he couldn't wait until the interview was over. With that said, thank God for RUclips where these interviews can be seen.
This is AWESOME !! Can't believe gems like these keep popping up - thank you so much for this. The close-ups of Dan's eyes are just stunning! Jean's comment about the colour changing is easy to understand. Need to listen to this a few more times to take in all he's said - a man full of soul, so greatly missed.
What is truly remarkable is that he was congenial, kind, affable and just plain old nice despite the fact that the interviewer was woefully unprepared and asked uninteresting questions.
always wondered why Dan didnt include the song "A Cry in the Forest:" on this album, or any album, for that matter. Its such a huge song for nature preservation. Its just another amazing song from Dan--makes me cry....
Funny how the media has changed and changed the face of the music industry with it.When Dan recorded this interview the internet didn't exhist.So I try to put it into perspective of how he was thinking at that time.Technology has really changed the whole way of life but I'm not sure if it's for the best.
What a maroon that interviewer was..Saw you on Arsenio..loved Dan's reaction with the eyes.. lol how can you confuse Johnny Carson's Tonight show with Arsenio Hall??? lol Love this interview!
Chris, I don't recall Andrew Gold touring with Dan. As I recall, most of the concerts I attended, didn't have opening acts. I do remember Eliza Gilkyson opening The Greek Theater show in LA. That was in 92'. Take care, Chris!!
Oh An who is that sitting in Dan's seat at the very beginning!! It is not Dan!! And it is the same location as the plant behind both is exactly the same!! At first I thought it was two different location..but the plant leaves are exactly the shames!! Who is that guy? He kind of looks like a much older version of Dan? Weird!!!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful gift!!!! These eyes.....!!!!! There are only a few wise men like him..a human...fighting for nature and animals.We needed more of you..you`re gone too soon. Losing this wonderful man ... it was almost like losing my own brother!

Rest in Peace, Dan. I am certainly fortunate to have had the opportunity to see you perform live.
When Dan passed so early in his life we lost one huge national treasure.
I have always found Dan to be so awesomely amazing. I was so saddened when he passed away. I love his Part Of The Plan song very well. Truthfully, everything he did was easy to adore.
Such precise perspective in his speech and in his music.
Brian Farrelly a
as a guitarist myself i have just rediscovered his stuff and it is magnificent to play,,,words and music are gorgeous....cheers and thanks
I first heard Dan in 1976 in Maine while visiting friends who had moved there. It was such inspiring music. I remember they had a piano in this one house and they let me play it. I played Netherlands. Beautiful.
Thanks. Such a nice reminder of a wonderful songwrirter and lovely human being.

This really shows his personality better han anything Ive seen. A smile and talent that lit up the universe. So sad you are gone.
very sweet and cool human being.sad he is gone.his music has been a big part of my life.
I love listening to Dan talk...his opinions are so valid. And I love watching his facial expressions! What a beautiful face! Thanks for this posting.
We miss you, Dan....
Completely enlightening, for those of you (like me) who dig Dan so much, we want to understand him and his mind as much as possible.
Look at those eyes in the close up!, Beautiful gray!

I can watch this over and over! But, it breaks my heart a bit. I miss him so much! Thank you Dadsvideo3002. It's a real gift.
He interviews so well. I could listen to him talk all day. If he hated giving interviews, I certainly can't tell from watching this.

Excellent insight in the man and his music during that era. Hard to believe he left us 3 years ago tomorrow. Dan was a wise man.
P.S. I LOVE what he says about top 40 being 'jingles'!!! That's even more true today, in 2014. Sad to say!
I completely agree

To sad that such talented people die so young ...
This is the first Interview I've seen with him. It was very good . i will watch others
i think he was a great artist.
Amazing interview and so good to see Dan Live! Missing him everyday!

What is truly remarkable is that he was congenial, kind, affable and just plain old nice despite the fact that the interviewer was woefully unprepared and asked uninteresting questions.

always loved his music.R. I.P.
Dan....How I miss you!
Funny how the media has changed and changed the face of the music industry with it.When Dan recorded this interview the internet didn't exhist.So I try to put it into perspective of how he was thinking at that time.Technology has really changed the whole way of life but I'm not sure if it's for the best.
It's baffling to me that the classic hits stations in central IA don't play his tunes really at all!
dont think, people, just listen and absorb.
great interview! thanks for posting!
thank you. I am so glad you share this
What a maroon that interviewer was..Saw you on Arsenio..loved Dan's reaction with the eyes.. lol how can you confuse Johnny Carson's Tonight show with Arsenio Hall??? lol Love this interview!
Note those beautiful hands!!!
The next male singer/songwriters then came along in another wave.
love it
Chris, I don't recall Andrew Gold touring with Dan. As I recall, most of the concerts I attended, didn't have opening acts. I do remember Eliza Gilkyson opening The Greek Theater show in LA. That was in 92'. Take care, Chris!!
Look his eyes at the time 0:05.
Mike, do you recall if Fogelberg toured with Andrew Gold circa 1973-74?
What year was this interview from?
Who is the interviewer?
Oh
An who is that sitting in Dan's seat at the very beginning!! It is not Dan!! And it is the same location as the plant behind both is exactly the same!! At first I thought it was two different location..but the plant leaves are exactly the shames!! Who is that guy? He kind of looks like a much older version of Dan? Weird!!!!
I think it was the previous interviewee. Whoever edited this video didn't cut him out in time. And he looks a little scary I thought.
Tell me why you need to make such negative comments. I have seen what you write and believe you should keep your thoughts to yourself.
Hate when musicians go AL Gore LOL
Thank you so much for this wonderful gift!!!! These eyes.....!!!!!
There are only a few wise men like him..a human...fighting for nature and animals.We needed more of you..you`re gone too soon.
Losing this wonderful man ... it was almost like losing my own brother!
