this performance is magnificence, followed him forever, memories

You're never the same after listening to Bruce Cockburn

She should have brought how she lied about her Pulitzer nomination

Ah, she must have forgotten that she was outed for lying about a Pulitzer Nomination just 2 years befor this. And was using that lie to build credibility for her "journalism"

Bruce is a cowardly hypocrite. he knows it.

2023ad. are you american or canadian? we must know

he still makes me laugh and makes me cry and makes me wonder why what a gem to the world of wonders i do wish the crowd at this show had helped him out instead of being so hung up on themselves

This is brilliant. The art of Finger picking

Her radical bullshit isn't doing her looks any good.

I get to see him in Salem, OR in 1/2023!!!! Thanks for posting this performance.

multicult nonsense. ya no more war but liberals always start the wars.

I'm just a little underwhelmed by a man who lived for his vanity. His own confession about valuing world travelling over his own family... wow, so "important" to teach us how to think. Really? Nah, just a man. It's silly to raise a cultural "news reporter" to a level you yourself won't attempt to reach or understand. Sure, he's got amazing guitar skills, but really, will you let Bruce teach you how to feel "important" for what you think, even though it's not your own thought, but an echo chamber? Sorry to burst your celebrity worship bubble, but not sorry. "Call it Democracy" is actually AGAINST these contemporary U.S. Democrats... Are you listening? I hope he finds his way back to Jesus.

Saint Bruce! ----- love you brother!

Less politics, more playing

HA HA HA and WHOA WHOA WHOA.....Way to go, Bruce.....HUGS!!!

Damn he can sing fast. Love his music. The socially conscious artist!

I think he's great!!

Love this man's work for over 35 years since I first discovered him

Loved discovering this show - I have seen 'Bruce' in a solo gig twice, first time at Tweed Heads NSW RSL club in early 1980s, audience of maybe 120 in a small auditorium, what a show it was ! Maybe a decade later his show at the Palaise Theater in St Kilda Melbourne, a huge fantastic Art Deco Audtitorium, full house of 'Bruce' fans. My seat was not far from the stage, early on he asked for requests - I screamed ' Creation Dream'...to my surprise he heard me and said, hmmmm good one, not sure if I remember it to which I said ( but he did not hear me ) ' I can show you', cause it is one of his I play .....anyway, the look on the faces of near by patrons was priceless - they were all going..what!! who are you - are you famous... of course I'm not, just another punter who learnt to finger pick, based on his style . What a moment in the sun it was. Anyway, he did remember it and played far better than I ever could hehe.

What a "SHITTY" audience. I remember playing the coffee house circuit in Chicago late 1970's as warm up act for Steve Goodman and John Prine and occasionally you just get these dead audiences. My job was to warm them up but sometimes they was no life out there in the seats. I would just cut my act short. Felt sorry for Bruce a big big star coming to the end of his road with these Pegasus assholes.

Anyone know what guitar Bruce plays?

When the announcer inntroduced Bruce as a poet...that's no lie. Bruce has written songs like no other. The way he takes words puts them together to tell his story is poetry at it's best. Listen to, "Child of the Wind." Then to top it off, Bruce plays guitar so effortlessly that you may miss how difficult and technical his playing really is. Now that's an artist a musical genius. I've been a fan for 35+ years. I thank you Bruce Cockburn you've helped me thru some tough times. Lovenlight

This woman lies so much about the gun laws it's not even funny. She is clueless on the current gun laws.

Start at 4:25

Bruce does anyone ever hear the songwriters song if it falls in the forest? You will never hear unless you care. You will never care unless you are willing to hear. How the author longed for you to come yet you had other plans. Does anyone hear the songwriters song if it falls on deaf ears?

One of the best poets singers and pickers, so much grace

Hard to express just how much the songs mean to me. Glad to have found this.

Bruce has had such influence in my art, and in my life, in my politics, and how I comport myself. I first heard his music in 1979, he’s had my rapt attention ever since. He’s always been this amazing mentor, and I don’t actually ‘know’ Bruce. I’ve met him quite a few times. But he won’t remember my name. Lol! He’s such a deep and wonderful artist, and a ‘real’ Christian. I love the guy so much. His life is worthy of emulation.

For a 6 string player, he sounds like 12! Reminds me of Leo Kottke! One of the last dyed-in-the-wool protest singers...

Met Bruce October 2019 memorable time!

Yo! This isn't me. It's supposed to be me, but it's not.

CSIS won't you tell me what you got on me..... Love Bruce. He's the best.

Thank you

How phenomenal is this man and musician!! ; i could listen to Bruce all day long, and learn!! Bruce himself the unsung hero, yet highly honored Canadian (Order of Canada); Champion for the advocacy for human rights, the marginalized & the environment ; highly gifted & talented singer songwriter, yet somehow underappreciated on the world stage.

Marvellous Canadian artist!

One of the angels dancing on a pin.....didn't play If I Had A Rocket Launcher? I assume perhaps incorrectly but maybe the wrong audience.....I guess when is enough enough and you got to stop talking.

Wow stands for World of Wonder..outstanding craftsman of songs. Bruce Cockburn is a treasure.

Have seen him live two times. Once in 1984 with his band and then in the early 90’s opening for Bob Weir and Rob Wasserman. The band concert I rate among the greatest concerts I’ve seen.

ahh and ahhh sooo and ummmm ahhhhhhh.....

outstanding....

wow, amazing

just superb! he is my hero!

He is a legend and his music is magical. As amazing as he is he is so underrated......His guitar skills are some of the finest in the mainstream ever.......U rule Mr Cockburn!!!!!

Last 2 songs are ones he played for a fundraiser after 9/11 happened (Justice was written a long time before) - sadly still so relevant today.

Can't help but overall love and respect Bruce I will be uploading soon my channel rare Bruce stuff not anywhere on the net live Toronto

Would you be so kind as to list his songs, in the video description?

his growling, political soapbox numbers are grating but the others are good. the lefty snarlers are like car stickers - heartbreakingly impotent and serving only to virtue signal.

Great post. What a joy.
