I saw him in Sarasota with my dad a couple months ago. I cannot express how incredible that concert was and what a gift it was to share with my 71 year old dad. Just spectacular.
Together with Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, Billy Field and Neil Finn....Bruce Hornsby in my opinion is the most underrated singer songwriter in contemporary music history.
13th Dec 2024. Hot afternoon Accra Ghana 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭 in West Africa...this song just played on the radio. So many memories flooding back...those days when music had meaning meaning. The Show Goes On❤
Bruce and Phil Collins helped me stay sane during my divorce in the winter of 93, now it brings great memories of finding how to be happy with myself. Which is vital before you make the leap again. Just celebrated my 25 anniversary with an angel. Wouldn’t change a thing
Not only Bruce Hornsby but in conjunction with the Range, we are listening to those interesting components. Sorry for that Mrs Masuku and again congratulations for working hard under such conditions. I see clearly now about the proverb that says when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
I'm 70yrs old, noo young😅. This song reminds me of Cansas Mchunu who was a presenter at a Zulu Radio station. Hands up if you were lucky to know him. This song is taking me down memory lane. Where's my age group? Let's go!!!💃💃💃
Oh my - I can't even imagine meeting Bruce. He is such an amazing artist. I'm so happy to hear that he was a gracious and kind man - which I had no doubt that he was anything but that! You have just lived my dream - so happy for you!
I pray am able to go through so I can also be here once again to say thanks to Bruce and every one here on the comment section.my life gave this song a different meaning after listening to it. I pray my wife and kids comes back home soon someday safe and healthy to me so we could live as one big family. ❤️ thanks bruce ...
Months ago i did say i might be back to say thanks to Bruce for this song. Bruce you still dont know the positive impact this song has brought to my life ..THANK YOU SO MUCh BRUCE.. i got my family back and am so so happy ,yes i did ,but things has never remain same . While my years gradually runs off i woul love to live a memory here because it matters to me a lot. I pray RUclips still exist in hundreds of years from today so that my kids of just 5 and 4yrs could may be see this and truly know that i love do love them and my beautiful precious wife with every breath in me . I love you so much PVJ.... i really do love you .❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song kept me alive and going when days were dark...the show had to go on despite all. I could play it in my mind over and over again till I fell asleep at times.
Fantastic. I saw him live in chicago. Woŕds cant do lustice. A spiritual music expirience. The range are fantastic live. Met my wife at the show. Lost her 3 years ago this song was her fav song. Mine too i listen to honor her memory and it helps me grieve in a positive way.
I've chosen this song, as the song, if and when I should die, to be my song at the end of my funeral. Bruce Hornsby inspired me as a singer/songwriter and helped me chisel my music into what it is today. Of which I'm very proud of. Thank you Bruce, for the music, and the inspiration. I truly love your music, and your talent. x
I chose this song for my fathers visual tribute in January last year. He owned Scenes from the South Side on disc- I remember him enjoying Hornsby's music. I thought It a fitting tribute to honour my dad.
There's just something so amazing about this song, its perfect. The first time I heard it was when I saw the movie backdraft in the theater, I was just a kid. Now I listen to it all the time.
its a great song for me as well at the end of my funeral. I will ad to my list of songs, mandolin rain and the way it is, is also on my "final song funeral list" so this will be be my 3rd song from Bruce in my top 20 songs to be played for me at my funeral.
Hi im from South Africa... I remeber this song played when I was doing my first year out of high school and things were bad and I was at a train station doing my 1st year in college... I was hungry I felt like crying .... but yea the rest is history... I will always treasure this song
This song has gotten me through this tough year 2023. Never have a flirted with the idea of taking myself out but Bruce's song kept my thoughts at bay.
This has such lovely memories for me living in the Middle East in the 80s l would come home put this tape on and get ready for a night out. The memories in my 66th year as fresh as yesterday and adore this song.❤️
One Sunday I was going to see my Girlfriend, I stopped at a nearest pub and one of my best buddies, Morgan, saw me and we started drinking, Hennessey, I remember well. Since I ddnt have own transport that time, he dropped me at my girlfriend's place. In his car he was playing this song. All well we parted ways, around 19:00hrs as I was going back to my apartment, there was a huge accident on the main entrance along a very busy road,Bang, Morgan was stuck, lifeless in his car. RIP MY FRIEND
From Jerry Lee Lewis, to Leon Russell to Elton, to Bruce, the piano is overlooked in rock and roll. Hornsby has a fluid, melodic style and I love watching and listening to him play. This was his best song ever, IMO
Just lost my Dad three weeks ago and listening to this song now, it has a completely different meaning and depth, I don't know how the show will go on without him 💔!!! He was a man of truth, honesty, and depth, was never afraid to stand alone in his truth...God you should help me because I don't know how to go on without him, and I am the one who told him to rest because he was sick. OOH God the pain is just so unbearable!!!
What's the long face, what's all the crying for Didn't you expect it when you opened your door To the man with the long coat and the long list of victims Everybody watching knows he's the one keeping score From where she sits, everyone stands in judgment People watching as the curtain falls down See the lights do a long slow fade The show goes on, and the sad-eyed sisters go walking on Everyone watching all along The show goes on, as the autumn's coming And the summer's all gone Still without you, the show goes on Some say she's alright, some say she'll never learn Some rush into things, some stand and wait their turn I've been here all along standing here all this time But you never noticed, just let the same tired flames burn From where she sits, everyone stands in judgment People watching as the curtain falls down See the lights do a long slow fade The show goes on, and the sad-eyed sisters go walking on Everyone watching all along The show goes on, as the autumn's coming And the summer's all gone Still without you, the show goes on Time is passing, slowly passing you by You better try to find it before it passes you by As I watch you walking to another cold dawn And you keep on walking And they keep on talking Talking all along From where she sits, everyone stands in judgment People watching as the curtain falls down See the lights do a long slow fade The show goes on, and the sad-eyed sisters go walking on Everyone watching all along The show goes on, as the autumn's coming And the summer's all gone Still without you, the show goes on
I bought this cassette when it came out in 1988. Great album start to finish. I pulled it out of my 400+ cassette collection for the first time recently after almost 34 years. Completely forgetting how great it was and how beautiful this song is. I greatly appreciate it now that I’m much older. Bruce did an interview some time back with a radio host explaining what the song was about. Now every time I hear it, I get lost in the words and paint my own music video. Just a beautiful song all around.
@@UwemEtukudo Here’s the link to that interview. He explains both “The Show Goes On” and “Dow the Road Tonight” ruclips.net/video/cMmqoqggBy4/видео.html
Only discovered this track through the 2023 HBO show The Bear. Epic, goosebumps music. I always sang along to 'Thats the way it is' as a kid as my dad played it in his car. 'The Show Goes on' is just a wonderfully uplifting piece of music. Feel very blessed to have found it.
To you all around the world, as we listen to this song, lets not forget about those who go to bed hungry, who their houses has been demolished by floods and landslides. Lets not forget our brothers, sisters, Moms, Children in Sudan, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Jordan, Palestine, Pakistan. I can't name all. Let they not loose hope and we are with them in our prayers. God will answere their prayers. As I listen to this song it came into my mind that I should say this words.

Came looking for this after Donald Sutherland died recently. Absolutely loved Backdraft. One of my favourite films of my youth. Had the soundtrack on a cassette and used to listen to it on my Walkman!!!! Watched the movie again recently after Donald died and the music is as good as ever.
This brings memories When I thought It was over with me only to find it was the beginning for the Lord to show off .I used to play this song at midnight going home after work suddenly I had no job but by God's grace he made a way so the show is still going on 🙏
I love Bruce Hornsby until the day I pass away, this is a real singer and pianist, I first heard this song in Backdraft and I had to listen to again, thank you Bruce Hornsby for your incredible music
There used to be a DJ down in my country by the name of Cyril Bongani Kansas City Mchunu,and this was his signature song,indeed long after he has left us,still without him the show goes on! Thanks Bruce Hornsby for such wonderful music.
As a South African 🇿🇦🇿🇦This reminds me of Wonderful Radio CKI Dee Jay ! Chris Dunga on a Friday special! He used to Start the show with the baritone ( Whaaaw Whaaw Whaaw) And blast the song through the airwaves. RIP Chris🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
In 2023 the show is still going on. To our fathers, Mothers, brothers and sisters in Turkey and Syria devastated by the earthquake. Let God be with you in this troubling situation. We are with you in our prayers.
Also part of one of the greatest movie soundtracks of all time, Backdraft. Every time I hear it I can see the two uniformed men showing up to deliver the news.
Music is the most powerful tool in the universe it unites people of all walks ❤️ May God bless you all Thank you Bruce for a timeless classic. Proudly South African currently based In Florida USA 🇺🇸
Sure thanks for your comment Thuso. Although I am still based in SA you do represend us wherever you are in USA. Bruce Horsby and the Range produced a universal music that makes the show to go on even as now. From Molefe Masombuka in SA Gauteng province.
Will sit atop my favorite songs of all time. Brings tears to my eyes watching this unreal talent play. His library is just incredible. For all of us the show (life) goes on!
I'm from Spain, but raised in Santa Barbara CA. but felt in love with Chicago since the first time been there. Hope you all are ok and safe at home. Take Care.
9/13/01 ground zero 245am resting after hour doing recovery and I hear this song load and clear.to this day when I hear this song it brings me back to that early morning ,not good memory's but that life . Great great song bad time❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Right in the middle of my cassette holder in my car among the Poison, Motley Crüe, Ozzy and Warrant was Bruce Hornsby and the Range. And if anyone had an issue with it, they were walking 😂😂. Something about Bruce’s songs, songwriting and voice that just hit me. Sooooo Underrated. This rocker is hooked on BH and the Range
Still rocking this song in 2024. The show is still going on
Agreed❤
Same here
Right there with ya!!
Same heree❤😊
I saw him in Sarasota with my dad a couple months ago. I cannot express how incredible that concert was and what a gift it was to share with my 71 year old dad. Just spectacular.
Together with Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, Billy Field and Neil Finn....Bruce Hornsby in my opinion is the most underrated singer songwriter in contemporary music history.
Amen brother, but in the end it doesn't matter how he's rated. He always kept it real and was true to his music. That's why he's one of the best!
He's still freaking touring right now too!!... wondering if I should try to make it.
Absolutely true... he’s a legend
You and i could definitely be friends, same sentiment.
Nothing underrated about Bruce Hornby. You might think that but don't feel it! He's the master. 👍👌🎶💜
13th Dec 2024. Hot afternoon Accra Ghana 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭 in West Africa...this song just played on the radio. So many memories flooding back...those days when music had meaning meaning. The Show Goes On❤

Peace out brother. Music has no boundaries.
Who's here in 2024?

Quite possibly the most perfect song ever.
Came across this piece of gem on The Bear.

Same man
Me too-love it
Yea man
This song kept me going in 2016 after my husband passed on and I was due to write my exams. I wrote and got a distinction.
Stay blessed ❤
Not only Bruce Hornsby but in conjunction with the Range, we are listening to those interesting components. Sorry for that Mrs Masuku and again congratulations for working hard under such conditions. I see clearly now about the proverb that says when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
My Two Uncles used to play this one while my mum smoking her favourite Courtleigh Ciggarets.. That's what I remember.. May their souls rest in peace
I'm 70yrs old, noo young😅. This song reminds me of Cansas Mchunu who was a presenter at a Zulu Radio station. Hands up if you were lucky to know him. This song is taking me down memory lane. Where's my age group? Let's go!!!💃💃💃
Taged

What was it?
I was so fortunate to share a flight with Bruce years ago. Meeting your idol is a gift like no other. So gracious and kind. Love Bruce!!!
Oh my - I can't even imagine meeting Bruce. He is such an amazing artist. I'm so happy to hear that he was a gracious and kind man - which I had no doubt that he was anything but that! You have just lived my dream - so happy for you!

When music was music.......
Back when boys were boys and men were men and at a time when America was the greatest Country on this side of Heaven!
Timeless, 100%.
🎶 If this song doesn’t grab you right from the first note 📝 then you haven’t REALLY listened to this song 🎶 perfection from start to finish.
Amen
It’s nice to see someone else explain exactly how I feel about this song.
Right on!
If you don’t like the first minute then you don’t deserve the last six
❤
Listening to this song brings back childhood memories so vividly
I had never heard this song until tonight. I told my girlfriend it was Bruce Hornsby before a word was sung. His sound on the piano is unmistakable.
Very distinct piano sound,and playing style.
Same here and never heard this song but I love it
2022 and this song is still gold 🥹🎶
I've chosen this song, as the song, if and when I should die, to be my
song at the end of my funeral. Bruce Hornsby inspired me as a singer/songwriter
and helped me chisel my music into what it is today. Of which I'm very proud of.
Thank you Bruce, for the music, and the inspiration. I truly love your music, and your talent. x
i walked down the aisle to this song.
I chose this song for my fathers visual tribute in January last year. He owned Scenes from the South Side on disc- I remember him enjoying Hornsby's music. I thought It a fitting tribute to honour my dad.

I cry always when I listen to this song...its emotionally touches me...I appreciate life..
and me to i cry every time if i'm listening this song
My brother who is a Deep house music DJ, made me love this song when he said it reminded him of me, it was really a surprise when he played it,
Wow,this song reminds me of my youthfulness 😢😢😢.
I was starting to work at Telkom in 1993 as a technician.😢😢😢
Backdraft brought me here. What a song ❤
From Jerry Lee Lewis, to Leon Russell to Elton, to Bruce, the piano is overlooked in rock and roll. Hornsby has a fluid, melodic style and I love watching and listening to him play. This was his best song ever, IMO

OOH God the pain is just so unbearable!!!
So sorry for your loss, stay strong
Stay strong Nelly ,lean on God sorry for your loss
❤
A song that hits like no other. This version is incredible.
I have loved, I have lost, but the show goes on. I will always shine bright
12 hours away from home, this gem reminds me of my husband...I miss him soo much❤
Remembering the road trips with my late father in the late 80's 💓💓💓
You remember a trip from where to where "Tso"
The man is a genius! I love to see Bruce smile at his bandmates - he is having a great time playing and that's what it's all about!
What's the long face, what's all the crying for
Didn't you expect it when you opened your door
To the man with the long coat and the long list of victims
Everybody watching knows he's the one keeping score
From where she sits, everyone stands in judgment
People watching as the curtain falls down
See the lights do a long slow fade
The show goes on, and the sad-eyed sisters go walking on
Everyone watching all along
The show goes on, as the autumn's coming
And the summer's all gone
Still without you, the show goes on
Some say she's alright, some say she'll never learn
Some rush into things, some stand and wait their turn
I've been here all along standing here all this time
But you never noticed, just let the same tired flames burn
From where she sits, everyone stands in judgment
People watching as the curtain falls down
See the lights do a long slow fade
The show goes on, and the sad-eyed sisters go walking on
Everyone watching all along
The show goes on, as the autumn's coming
And the summer's all gone
Still without you, the show goes on
Time is passing, slowly passing you by
You better try to find it before it passes you by
As I watch you walking to another cold dawn
And you keep on walking
And they keep on talking
Talking all along
From where she sits, everyone stands in judgment
People watching as the curtain falls down
See the lights do a long slow fade
The show goes on, and the sad-eyed sisters go walking on
Everyone watching all along
The show goes on, as the autumn's coming
And the summer's all gone
Still without you, the show goes on
Thank you brother!
Thank you 😊
Even today this song still rocks❤️
Best of de best
2050 will still be rocking this beauty

@@UwemEtukudo Here’s the link to that interview. He explains both “The Show Goes On” and “Dow the Road Tonight”

It seems like you really have good music in that cassette collection
@@hutchinson54 I'm not sure that Down the Road Tonight needs much explaining.

the way the song is uses in S2:E1 is so on the nose but man it's pretty
To you all around the world, as we listen to this song, lets not forget about those who go to bed hungry, who their houses has been demolished by floods and landslides. Lets not forget our brothers, sisters, Moms, Children in Sudan, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Jordan, Palestine, Pakistan. I can't name all. Let they not loose hope and we are with them in our prayers.

Came looking for this after Donald Sutherland died recently. Absolutely loved Backdraft. One of my favourite films of my youth. Had the soundtrack on a cassette and used to listen to it on my Walkman!!!! Watched the movie again recently after Donald died and the music is as good as ever.
May he RIP!
Still rocks in 2023 😊
Perfection. The voice, the piano, the lyrics. Grateful ❤.
This brings memories
When I thought It was over with me only to find it was the beginning for the Lord to show off .I used to play this song at midnight going home after work suddenly I had no job but by God's grace he made a way so the show is still going on 🙏
His piano playing is absolutely enchanting.
I love Bruce Hornsby until the day I pass away, this is a real singer and pianist, I first heard this song in Backdraft and I had to listen to again, thank you Bruce Hornsby for your incredible music
2 years later, I got to see him live with the Noisemakers! And guess what he played this song!
There used to be a DJ down in my country by the name of Cyril Bongani Kansas City Mchunu,and this was his signature song,indeed long after he has left us,still without him the show goes on! Thanks Bruce Hornsby for such wonderful music.

Wilson B Nkosi made me LOVE this song.....!!!

Brilliant layering of all elements, his unique piano style, the backbone rock tempo, and a vocal line that is the melody of a lullaby. What a gift!

It was my mum favorite song,she always play it every weekend I miss her I hope she's happy in heaven ❤
Grief brought me here
Right in the middle of my cassette holder in my car among the Poison, Motley Crüe, Ozzy and Warrant was Bruce Hornsby and the Range. And if anyone had an issue with it, they were walking 😂😂. Something about Bruce’s songs, songwriting and voice that just hit me. Sooooo Underrated. This rocker is hooked on BH and the Range
Your Car. YOUR RULES!
Class mate
Best comment I’ve seen for a fellow Hornsby head who also loved the aforementioned other groups from the late 80s early 90s
Songs that'll never go anyway until the end of time
