    Wow, Bruce Cockburn still plays the electric! I thought he stopped doing this back in the 90s and fully pledged his allegiance to the acoustic guitar on a permanent basis. This is nice and refreshing to see!

    The older the better you play and you don't give a s''''t anymore what people might think!This is a great song and still relevant today!!!

    Amazing version. I was unaware of Bruce Cockburn until a Canadian friend played “Wondering Where the Lions Are” at an open mic on the beach in Lo de Marcos, Mexico a few years ago. I’ve been a big fan ever since. This song is as relevant today as it was when written. I get tears, chills and rage whenever I hear it. Thank you Mr. Cockburn.

    This is how music should look, should sound and be played. By someone who is passionate, in small smoky night club and live. Bravo Bruce !

    Ah, Bruce. Sadly, more relevant than ever.
    I have had the great fortune to see you in concert at a very small club in Phoenix many years back. You just get better and better. Thank you, Sir!

    One of the songs that roams constant in my mind since I first heard it. Sometimes I'm glad no one ever gave me a rocket launcher and then sometimes I wish I had one now.

    Like Macole, ever since I first heard this song it has stayed on my mind. I always amazed how few folks have heard of it. I sing the chorus regularly these days. Prolly a good thing I don't have a rocket launcher. But I love everything about this song.

    This is so great to find. Saw Bruce again in Cologne, last Monday. Brilliant show. Also the third time I got to have a little chat and an autograph. Such a lovely man. I am one happy fan!

    Is it me, or is he getting better with age? Loved watching the drummer behind him too. I just found out the drummer's name is Gary Craig.

      He just gets better and better -- been a fan since the '70s. And Gary Craig is another one of Canada's musical treasures.

      Yes. That is Gary Craig. He backs lots of other musicians as well. He was just on tour with Jann Arden.
