Mate.. Don, May the lords peace be with you always in Jesus Name. A'men. Thanks for the wonderful music over the years I'm now 46 and still love your talent. I'd just like to say to you. Thankyou for the good times had over the years. Rod
I saw Don with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra a couple of weeks ago. It was stellar. It will remain as one of my most cherished concerts. What an incredible talent he is. I have never seen anyone as fluid at expressing his thoughts as Don. What a joy to have experienced that!
used to play this cd over and over and over in my car full blast. just a beautiful song! and the bridge where the lyrics goes, "Save me from all the trouble and the pain. I know I'm weak, but I can't face that girl again......etc." that, did it for me! thank you, don mclean! and thank You for posting this gem of a song! classic!
I can remember hearing this song when I was about five. Even at that young age, I knew I was hearing somthing pure and very beautiful. Music is indeed a very precious gift.
Love love love him. I saw him at Tulsa Mayfest back in the 80's, he was sooooo awesome. I was bout 16 when "Vincent" came on the radio still remember first time I heard it, was my favorite song of all time.
If he wrote half of the songs he played, he should be regarded as one of the finest songwriters of modern times. His song Vincent, and Winter Wood have incredibly moving and clever lyrics. This song, too.
It is like I've finally found my long lost friend when I ran this song. Beautiful and soothing. Don may be aged now but he still sounds as fresh and clear as in his younger days.
beautiful performance by a great poet and artist. His songs are still classics after 40 years. I grew up with his music, and until today he inspires still. What a wonderfully gifted man. I loved him as a kid, and I still love him today. Bless you Don. You are truly a special talent
Don you are Awsome ! So many years later this most beautiful and sad song still touches my heart ! It still makes me feel like leaving the city and heading for the country. To where life is simpler, unsophisticated and hopefully happier !
what an incredible vocal range he displays at the end. He's still got it! I always like and often prefer the live acoustic version from a music artist. Especially from Mclean, Neil Young, Jim Croce, John Denver, James Taylor, and so on.
Hi there🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Thanks for your love and support that has brought me this far, it has been a hard time for me going through this but your love and support keeps me going and standing strong in this difficult times.

+JJ 86 sure your talent will go away but you will always sound good to the people whos lives you touched songs are mostly about memories and when we get old and hear that song again we will remember it the way it was and appreciate what that person gave to us as an artist and shit or youl be senile and throw shit at them for not playing right lol
SOOO glad to see Don still singing. I'm in my 60's and this was a wonderful surprise. He sounds the same. And I can't say how many times I've sung out to many generations just this one line: "Drove my chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry" You go on with your bad self, Don!
This is one of the few performers I ever bothered to see live. Years later and I still see it as a highlight of my life. This is one of my favourites - thank you Don Mclean :)
Listening to Don sing so beautifully gives persuasive proof of the power upliftng that the troubadours over the centuries have given human kind. You have the gift and use it carefully and well. Thank you.
My "person" got 5 years, today. I feel safe - Thank you Mr Mclean for always having that sweet voice that grounds me and brings me back "home". Today your lyrics were on loop in my mind and I felt nothing but peace. Valentina - The Spanish L frm Melbourne - Palais

Such a remarkable artist. Had he never written anything besides this and "Vincent," it would have been more than enough. That Martin D-45 doesn't hurt, either. It's like a damned piano! Gorgeous song, really.
+xtc1957 So true. Don is just unreal. I'm so sorry to hear of his recent domestic problems. He's much more than a sorrid headline in a National Enquirer rag.
Just as beautiful as the first version..gentle, understanding. doesn't matter if the snow is on the roof the genius is still there. I just adore his music. Thankyou Don.
i adore this song so much ! i remember as a little boy waking up on summer mornings to this song on the radio, it touched me back then and stilll does ! waht a gift you have given me Don, priceless, precious and everlong, thank you
I just heard this song about half an hour ago driving home from work and have completely fallen in-love. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
after listening to Don Mclean's music for 4 decades, I finally met him upclose when he performed in the Philippines last march 2. this will remain in my memory forever...another item scrapped from my bucket list
This particular song really touches our souls,I am so very much Adored his musics and songs,True living legend of all time entertainer,I wish I am his Son,I will be so very proud of him of course. Happy Birthday Mr McLean and lot more years coming to share his musics with us all.Love you.
Tulsa, OK, I saw him at Mayfest I think it was, about 1990 and he was great. I had already loved his songs from the 70's, but when you see him live you find out he isn't just a recording artist, he is a musical genuis and really entertains an audience.

G'day Don, Thanks Mate! For all the years that you and the rest of the Gang who have Keeped on put it out there for us over the years.. we love your music and mate! Thank from one bloke to another.... Good On YA! I just Wanted you to know! From Rod. THANKYOU SO MUCH
Don Mclean is one America's iconic singers. He has true genius and I hope he lives to be a hundred because the world will always need Don Mclean's especially since America has lost its revolutionary zeal. The songs of Mclean represent what is best about American. Wall Street has sullied and killed the reputation of America. He also gets my vote for best male voice!
Beautiful. Complete independence between voice and guitar with a beautiful conversational style. Voice lagging behind guitar sounds like it is riding freely inconstrained by the rhythm of the guitar. Just a masterpiece.
Don thanks for the memories, been listening since 1970. Your music touched my soul, still does. Hey maybe we'll start the whole thing over in the next life, wouldn't that be cool?
So, Don McLean...where did you go? I loved your music...you touched my heart with Castle Walls and Vincent and, especially, with Tapestry. So why did you quit...where are the wonderful songs we could have shared during the last 30 years? Did you lose faith or just lose hope, or did you just forget to see how many of us stood by your side?
Mate.. Don, May the lords peace be with you always in Jesus Name. A'men. Thanks for the wonderful music over the years I'm now 46 and still love your talent. I'd just like to say to you. Thankyou for the good times had over the years. Rod
Awh, have loved this beautiful man forever! I am a 66 yr old lady and fell in love with him and his voice when he sang "American Pie" sooo awesome
Not only does he have a wonderful voice - he plays guitar beautifully! I love it.
Even though he is old his voice still sounds awesome.
I saw Don with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra a couple of weeks ago. It was stellar. It will remain as one of my most cherished concerts. What an incredible talent he is. I have never seen anyone as fluid at expressing his thoughts as Don. What a joy to have experienced that!
Probably more than any other 70's songs, Don McLean's make me want to go back to that time so badly. It was magic he was magic.
such a beautiful song, i just can't stop listening to it. i believe this is the best version he's ever done of it.
used to play this cd over and over and over in my car full blast. just a beautiful song! and the bridge where the lyrics goes, "Save me from all the trouble and the pain. I know I'm weak, but I can't face that girl again......etc." that, did it for me! thank you, don mclean! and thank You for posting this gem of a song! classic!
I can remember hearing this song when I was about five. Even at that young age, I knew I was hearing somthing pure and very beautiful. Music is indeed a very precious gift.
in a world where the music business has become mainly hype he is definitely the real thing.
DON YOU HAVE MAGIC VOICE.LOVE YOUR SONGS.PLEASE GO ON TV.MORE PEOPLES MUST TO LISTEN TO YOU.
Folks, we are watching & listening to greatness...
This man is the best songwrighter of our times & history will proove it...
Thanx for posting...
Hats off! i'm 45 years old now and been listening to his music since i was 6yrs old. I still like the man...whoah!!! Thanks for your music Don!
Castles must be one of Don's least well known songs, but it's one of the most beautiful...wonderful guitar picking...you're the best Don... :-)
Least well known songs? I think it's his best known song isn't it....
@@DrCrabfingers its well known, but american pie was written by the same man so
In my opinion, it's his BEST.❤
Love love love him. I saw him at Tulsa Mayfest back in the 80's, he was sooooo awesome. I was bout 16 when "Vincent" came on the radio still remember first time I heard it, was my favorite song of all time.

A poet with a guitar. Gifted man!!
this is the best version iv'e ever heard him sing of this incredibly beautiful song..he sounds better than ever.
Finaly!this song is on radio.great love you don.you are the best.
Rosto bonito! Até na idade!❤ mus8ca linda estou aprendendo a letra pra cantar pro meu publico.❤
Amazing guitar work
Don you are Awsome !
So many years later this most beautiful and sad song still touches my heart !
It still makes me feel like leaving the city and heading for the country.
To where life is simpler, unsophisticated and hopefully happier !
what an incredible vocal range he displays at the end. He's still got it! I always like and often prefer the live acoustic version from a music artist. Especially from Mclean, Neil Young, Jim Croce, John Denver, James Taylor, and so on.
Danny Comer just wow, sir!!
Don is good but jim is the best
Danny Comer couldn’t agree more
No, he's range isn't good... But you know what you know.
I saw him in the 1970's, he was fantastic. The quality of his music is beyond belief. Every word and note was crystal clear.
I think he looks and sounds great. I remember when he first appeared and I'm amazed he still has so much to give. Such an amazing talent.
This is one of the best vocals & guitar pieces i ever heard, thanx Don
His voice never changes. Great song.

He's so old yet he still sings great!
Teriqua Jones So if I'm a successful singer I'd still sound great even if I'm 90 years old because talent doesn't go away?

Youll be old one day too
His marvelous voice never fails to represent what is in his heart of honesty and blend artistic language into passionate music.
beautiful, what a musician
love this song, i will never get tired of hearing it. Don still has a great voice.
All I can say is, WOW...
This man is the best musician songwriter of my generation...
Love you Don...
Beautiful
That was so stunningly beautifully sung....true talent is such a wonderous thing to witness...
This is better than the original...just makes my eyes flood...and his picking is sublime...god...this man is superb..

This is one of the few performers I ever bothered to see live. Years later and I still see it as a highlight of my life. This is one of my favourites - thank you Don Mclean :)
Only the greats can write songs like this which become people's faves some 30 years or more after they came out.
Thank you Don for your contribution of music in my lifetime...
This is real music.
I just don't know how a person can write something so beautiful and timeless, a kind of prophet I guess, same goes for Dylan and Neil Young.
This song has such beautiful melody and meaning. I love it!
Listening to Don sing so beautifully gives persuasive proof of the power upliftng that the troubadours over the centuries have given human kind. You have the gift and use it carefully and well. Thank you.
He is better than ever. I love his lilting voice...always will.
His lyrics are so amazing. Very intelligent.
He can still hit those high notes! I saw him in concert in the late 90's and he was amazing.

Absolutely brilliant, what an amazing singer Don really is, always a pleasure

To have that clarity ,purity and strength of tone still is remarkable. Song writing genius.
I saw Don on PBS a number of years ago but have not heard from him in a while . I think its easy to forget how much he gave us all
I just heard this song about half an hour ago driving home from work and have completely fallen in-love. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

This is my favorite song of all time. Still beautiful. Great music stands the test of time.
What great taste in music you have. John, Don and Jim are classics. I'm wondering how many of today's artists will still be played in 20 years time.
Saw Don Mclean at the West Coast Blues and Roots festival in Fremantle W.A.on sat 22nd. Brilliant, a great performance pure class.
This particular song really touches our souls,I am so very much Adored his musics and songs,True living legend of all time entertainer,I wish I am his Son,I will be so very proud of him of course.
Happy Birthday Mr McLean and lot more years coming to share his musics with us all.Love you.
You are a smart 17 year old and I was always into older music like this when I was also 17 (now 37) !!! We know talent when we hear it :))
Tulsa, OK, I saw him at Mayfest I think it was, about 1990 and he was great. I had already loved his songs from the 70's, but when you see him live you find out he isn't just a recording artist, he is a musical genuis and really entertains an audience.
some gorgeous guitar playing, don is a master of fingerstyle, and I love this song
Maravilhoso! Linda canção.
Beautiful music. Here in Brazil, it played again and again in 1981.
what an immortlly beautifull voice and clear expression of emotion and reflection...awesome!!!...timeless!!!
i'm so happy that all of you likes that music, this is an artis isn't it!!
beautifl song lyrics and music
quite simply a sublime piece of music by a fantasticaly under-rated singer song-writer. he still sounds so good.....
I love this song!! I have to play it over and over!! His voice has gotten so much better over the years! This performance is magical.
This song just gets better with age. It transports me back to a time in my life that has a special place in my heart and soul.

I take a deep breath and hold back the moisture in my eyes this guy is just full of character and love. thankyou for the posting.
Don McLean has class and guts ... :)
Fantastic... Thank you, for all the good times....
The guitar is enchanting in and of itself but the vocals here are so fine. Awesome.
Thanks Don for generations of good song writing!
That music, that song, will never get old. When music was an art. Not todays crap 😊
You just can't get better than this when looking for cool chords, words and music.
Quem é bom de novo não deixa a desejar depois de velho!! Continua com a voz muito bonita.
It will be a huge treat to see this much loved performer in Melb without having to share with thousands of others!!
o tempo passou, mnas a voz e o talento ao violão continuam os mesmos. Lindooo!
Thanks DON for being part of my childhood with your great music , it's been a pleasure !!!!
