@@markgorman2348 me too. I have a Fogelberg finger from playing These Days and learning that darn f cord. Love him. Just got the DVD of "Greetings from the West" and cried some more. He'll always be my "light in the darkness".
Dan, and John (Denver) and Karen. Wouldn't that be a trio? What's the line from Roch-n-Roll Heaven? If you believe in forever, then life is just a one night stand.
Brilliant, genius singer songwriter. Miss him so much and am so grateful for these priceless vidoes. It's hard to fathom the depth of this artist's heart, he knew how to express the human condition so eloquently. Just wow!
Brilliant, amazing, and cathartic. I can remember listening to his music for hours at a time and feeling a connection with this man who was so obviously connected with the world and his feelings. Miss him so- imagine how much more music he would have made if cancer hadn't taken him. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift with the world - and thanks to your parents for instilling and encouraging your creative genius.
that is so hard!!! all alone with an acoustic, singing, and so much picking and chord shapes flawlessly executed! Damn.. no fluffs, just top level stuff, wonderful.. still looking for some stuff today remotely close ?
first concert to see Dan Fogelberg was in 1981 in NJ. Stole my heart. went to see him every chance i could. Still listen to his music today and if he were alive today and still making music i would still be following. Always will be in my top 2 favorite musicians.
Why do the great ones always die so young? I was so fortunate to have seen him in the early 80s. I got tickets for our Anniversary and cried through the song Longer as all I could think about was how fortunate I was to have found the woman by my side to be with me.
"Make Love Stay" is not only my favorite Fogelberg tune, but one of my all time favorites.My wife and I got married to "Longer".We've seen him in solo acoustic performances. He is in that Pantheon of singer/songwriters.(James Taylor,Paul Simon,Gordon Lightfoot,Lennon/McCartney).Dan,you were taken too soon! DY
He had such incredible talent, and sadly these songs didnt get the attention they deserved. I certainly enjoy them since I was 12 ive been a huge fan of Dan Folgerberg and i appreciated the meaning Dan's music at such a young age. Im still listening in 2023 ❤ Rest in Peace Dan. Yout legacy lives on ❤
There have been a few singer-songwriters that have captured my ears and my mind. Croce did it, Lightfoot has done it and Dan . Dan had many talents. I am blessed that God chose to him to deliver to us much more than we ever gave him. RIP Dan.
My love to this wonderful and gorgeous man and his songs is forever treasured in my heart. Thanking him for sharing his God given talent and asset to the world. God bless his soul as he is with Him now.
Although I love his original recording, this slower acoustic version brings an even greater depth to the words of his song. Love it and the man singing it! Miss you, Dan. ❤
He helped me get through some extremely difficult times...loosing my husband to heart cancer in 1988...we were both 28. Then to loose Dan to cancer was another blow.
Saw this Master once in the Early 80's in San Antonio Majestic Theater (highly recommend the venue - clouds and stars in the ceiling) and was blown away by the difference between recordings and his live performance. He gave his heart to the audience when he sang and this video is a prime example . In 74' I had been playing guitar for 5 years and heard " As the Raven Fly's" - been a Dan Fan since
My favorite song by Dan, the other is Last to Know. I have so many others that have a major impact on my life. Greatest lyrics & music by a gifted artist ever.
Who's still listening in 2020? Revisiting good memories in central Illinois an hour south of DF's hometown of Peoria where I grew up. I loved this song the minute I heard it on the radio so long ago, but seeing this performance gave me chills. What a voice, and what a poet. AND....... HOW DID THIS SONG NOT GET THE ATTENTION IT DESERVED??? Like plenty of others, it fell under the radar. Yet Billie Eilish and 'Halsey' (nee ASHLEY) are winning Grammys and hogging airplay. Pretty, but not like this.
The people that LOVE Dan give him the attention he "deserves". I'm not worried about anyone else who are unable to appreciate his genius, or will not consider his music worthy for their own ears - I ask you, do you think Dan Fogelberg cared if he didn't have the attention of those people? I can't stand many artist's music and so I don't listen - but many people give those artists their attention because they do favor their art. Isn't this the root of all "art"? Some like; others don't. I betcha Dan didn't give a fig whether anyone liked his music or not. And he certainly doesn't need one iota of pity about any perceived notion of "lack of deserved attention".
Now that we love Now that the lonely nights are over How do we make love stay? Now that we know The fire can burn bright or merely smolder How do we keep it from dying away? Elusive as dreams Barely remembered in the morning Love like a phantom flies But held in the heart It pales like the empty smile adorning A statue with sightless eyes. Moments fleet, taste sweet within the rapture When precious flesh is greedily consumed But mystery's a thing not easily captured And once deceased not easily exhumed. Now that we love Now that the lonely nights are over How do we make love stay? Moments fleet, taste so sweet within the rapture When precious flesh is greedily consumed But mystery's a thing not easily captured And once deceased not easily exhumed. Now that we loved Look at the moonless night and tell me How do we make love stay?
Blonstein Neil. I was just hearing this for the first time, 5-26-21, wishing I could read along with his lyrics as I did. For some reason, I scrolled done the posters and there you were! I am grateful. Dan Fogelberg had it all: lyricist/poet, songwriter/composer, instrumentalist, leader of the band, love of family, the courage to try marriage three times, etc. Many ETC. He just didn't have enough time on this earth he loved--from Colorado to Maine...and all points in between and in every direction. Again, many thanks.
... How Do We Make Love Stay??? ... I Deeply And Honestly Feel (through experience) By Recognizing That Our Falsely Justified Rejections, Dislikes, Need To Be Right, Self-Righteous Pride, Lack Of Patience, Lack Of Forgiveness For Self And Other And Our Judgements Need To Be Genuinely Addressed 'Emotionally' Not Run From Or Denied And Released ... Then The 'Love We Are' Rises Again And Is Reborn Into The Heart With A Greater Lasting Maturity And Resilience Once Again Able To Be Shared With A Stronger Clarity Certainty And Deeper Patient Understanding And Wisdom ... Our Love Although Buried Beneath All That Pain Of Learned Programing Is Merely Waiting To Be Released To Be Experienced And Shared In The Light Of Recognition Of Honest Compassion For Self And Other ... But That's Just Me ...
Have not listened for yrs..thanks for the post...sincerity un matched by this artist...Dan Fogelberg is horribly missed ..lost way too early..just a great artist!
He had one of those voices that relaxed you , playing his music and being around a campfire or fireplace with your wife or girlfriend made the moments even more beautiful. Thank you Dan for some beautiful music . RIP DAN 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
"LEADER OF THE BAND"{MINE WAS PETEY THE COCKATIEL)}& "AULD LANG SYNE"= MY FAV'S].The year b4 DAN passed away i "won" 2 concert tickets to see DAN FOGELBERG's solo concert at RUTH ECKERD HALL, CLEARWATER, FL. DAN blew me away{ the wife enjoyed DAN'S songs but her passion is " OLDIES" & " FRANKI VALLE"}. DAN was superb; no hint of illness. He went on doing what he loved & excelled at till the end. R.I.P.
Just a man and his guitar!❤❤❤ superb!
So grateful I grew up in the 70's, 80's and 90's! So many incredibly talented artists like this man right here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always liked all Dan's radio singles but here on YT watching a lot of his material I see how great he was...
The MOST Underrated Singer & Songwriter of ALL TIME !!
One of the greatest acoustic performances out there. Absolutely beautiful ❤️
Dan,we missyou ,your warm heart keeps me happy and loved-- although we've never met, you exude warmth and joy!
Dan was a really unique and special talent. Exquisite poetry.
No band, no light show, no autotune......just amazing talent
❤️
Thanks David. Nobody could have said it better. Only the good die young.
Yep..still can't believe he's gone
Yep amazing.. Saw him 4times. I had every album..I knew every song ..lirics. .I'll say for the fiveth time he inspired me to learn the guitar
@@markgorman2348 me too. I have a Fogelberg finger from playing These Days and learning that darn f cord. Love him. Just got the DVD of "Greetings from the West" and cried some more. He'll always be my "light in the darkness".
Just Dan, his voice, genius and an acoustic guitar.
Even after all these years since he passed away, I still tear up hearing him.
Been divorced 6 years.still miss her every day.l couldn’t make love stay but I wish Sarah all the love and happiness she deserves.
This I s one guy I really miss. I hope I see him in Paradise one day.
Me too❤❤
Dan, and John (Denver) and Karen. Wouldn't that be a trio?
What's the line from Roch-n-Roll Heaven? If you believe in forever, then life is just a one night stand.
Damn, he was wonderful…❤️
Amazingly true!! How do we make love stay!!!
You ARE THE MAN!! So beautiful 💜
28 years later, this Dan Fogelberg song can still make anxious hearts become silent and solemn...
I wish I could sit in a chair and change peoples lives like Dan. Grateful for his years.
Υπέροχο κομμάτι, σπουδαία ερμηνεία, σ' ευχαριστώ Dan!
His voice touches us all deep in our hearts
During this time of complete chaos in the world he soothes my soul.
I absolutely agree with all of the love written here ❤ my heart aches for him. 😢 God bless you always and forever .... you were SO real !! RIP 🙏
And the master performs unaided unbridled Lord how we miss him🙏
This album is so hard to find. I love it. This live performance was rated his best ever.
He gives me depth in my life as I age and ponder the path ahead. Miss you so Dan❤
Very well said. His writing does the same for me. Some very deep stuff. It’s quite incredible.
I was 12 when Dan passed away and I still treasure his music deep inside of me. God bless you Dan!
Such a warm, amazing voice and beautiful guitar work....rest in peace, Dan. You'll always be remembered fondly.
With Dan in Heaven, the concerts are grand. Just wish he was still on Earth.
❤️❤️❤️❤️🤟🤟🤟🤟😘😘😘😘💔💔💔💔
His precious voice will never die ❤
The last troubadour and a poet laureate.
Brilliant, genius singer songwriter. Miss him so much and am so grateful for these priceless vidoes. It's hard to fathom the depth of this artist's heart, he knew how to express the human condition so eloquently. Just wow!
Dan makes me want to be in love. He was such a sensitive and tender soul. He knows how to touch my heart.
All I can say is that " I Love you all So much" I am now 70 Years old and Your music means so much to me.
Karen Bryant I know what you mean, one of the "best " from our, old USA.
Amen
That brings Memories of a first falling into love!!
The great ones always leave us too soon...❤
I love his songs they are so full of truth and heart and wisdom 💖 sych a wonderful gift to all .i wish he had stuck around longer
Brilliant, amazing, and cathartic. I can remember listening to his music for hours at a time and feeling a connection with this man who was so obviously connected with the world and his feelings. Miss him so- imagine how much more music he would have made if cancer hadn't taken him. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift with the world - and thanks to your parents for instilling and encouraging your creative genius.
The song my husband and I danced to at our wedding in 1990. And love has stayed. ❤️
so glad your love has stayed! everyday is a choice. Enjoy!
that is so hard!!! all alone with an acoustic, singing, and so much picking and chord shapes flawlessly executed! Damn.. no fluffs, just top level stuff, wonderful.. still looking for some stuff today remotely close ?
Such a poet!!!
I just love his music. May Dan forever rest in peace.
Amazing singer songwriter-loved hearing the history behind it. I could listen to Dan Fogelberg all day. Gone to soon. Thank you for the music.
When one can stand “naked” with just a guitar and their voice and command the room, that is real talent and real music. Only a few can do this.
Beautiful description...so well said ❤
His story of why he wrote the song will forever have me reevaluate the meaning of those complex lyrics
So terrifically underrated.
So true.
Beautiful finger picking !
absolutely spellbinding
Even more stunning than the studio recorded version!
Very true!
I will always love you Dan Fogelberg
God how I miss his beautiful voice, I know he is so much alive through his musical legacy but I keep lamenting he was gone so young
An absolute AMERICAN Treasure hailing from Peoria, IL ✝
So amazing. Their should be 2 million thumbs up for this video.

Sublime and beautiful. I so regret not seeing Dan live. RIP Dan, and thank you for all the deep and moving music 💖💖💖
I will see you in heaven..cant wait ♥️🦋

One man who looks good with a beard or without

I'm so glad I got to see this man in concert! He is very obscure in today's music scene 😢
Today this song made my eyes leak.
RIP
Miss this incredible talent!
Nobody Ever Sang from the Heart better than the Great Dan Fogelberg !
My love to this wonderful and gorgeous man and his songs is forever treasured in my heart. Thanking him for sharing his God given talent and asset to the world. God bless his soul as he is with Him now.

Genius. Poet. Hero. Rest in peace Dan...
one of the best, ever.
This brings me to a happier time when I enjoyed hearing this played live in my living room. Obviously I have failed to make it stay.
Who's still listening in 2020? Revisiting good memories in central Illinois an hour south of DF's hometown of Peoria where I grew up. I loved this song the minute I heard it on the radio so long ago, but seeing this performance gave me chills. What a voice, and what a poet.

Outstanding musician and songwriter. I never saw him live. He passed too soon.
He is unarguably one of the best musicians and songwriters of all time.
One of my favorites from the boy from Peoria.
My husband and I used this as our wedding song. And we made love stay.
...love slipping in and out of phase like a dream without slumber, syntax or resolution...
Saw him live Woolsey Hall at Yale in New Haven in the 70's. So much talent
No One says it Like Dan.....
Good song!
BeUtiful words and delivery
Now that we love
Now that the lonely nights are over
How do we make love stay?
Now that we know
The fire can burn bright or merely smolder
How do we keep it from dying away?
Elusive as dreams
Barely remembered in the morning
Love like a phantom flies
But held in the heart
It pales like the empty smile adorning
A statue with sightless eyes.
Moments fleet, taste sweet within the rapture
When precious flesh is greedily consumed
But mystery's a thing not easily captured
And once deceased not easily exhumed.
Now that we love
Now that the lonely nights are over
How do we make love stay?
Moments fleet, taste so sweet within the rapture
When precious flesh is greedily consumed
But mystery's a thing not easily captured
And once deceased not easily exhumed.
Now that we loved
Look at the moonless night and tell me
How do we make love stay?
❤
Just brilliant
Wish I could love this a million times ❤️❣️💖💕💞💗💝💖💘💖💝

the best lyricist, i loved Dan so much!
Have not listened for yrs..thanks for the post...sincerity un matched by this artist...Dan Fogelberg is horribly missed ..lost way too early..just a great artist!
Love and miss Dan!
It is just Dan. RIP Great servant. You just know he is in heaven.
He had one of those voices that relaxed you , playing his music and being around a campfire or fireplace with your wife or girlfriend made the moments even more beautiful. Thank you Dan for some beautiful music . RIP DAN 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
My Idea of love for the 1st time. Laying on the bed enjoying this melody!!
Love can't stay when one will not admit that they hurt the other with very hurtful words. This song is so beautiful.

Induct Dan in the RR hall of Fame !!!
I had the opportunity to see him in concert in Reno, NV in 1995 & he was so genuine & extraordinary live. Truly treasure the RUclips clips.
love, respect, and silence from the audience while he played.
Captivating...and wonderful....miss his presence in the world ❤
I so love his music. One of the greatest of all time.
Nothing better than acoustic live
Minimal is better
One bad boy.said before.he inspired me to teach myself to play guitar
" ONCE DECEASED NOT EASILY EXHUMED"
It will stay forever Dan Folgerberg♥️🇱🇷God bless you..😇
Wow je viens de découvrir, de vous découvrir, j'aime vraiment ce que j'entends! C'est juste un gros merci pour votre musique ! 🎶
Just makes me bawl..
One of my all time favorite story telling song and artist
Dan Fogelberg (feat. Nobody else. Nobody else necessary to make a good song)
🥀Amazing Love Song🥀✌
