=====================
About 2 Meter Sessions
====================
Based in the Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessions is an independent, ongoing (new) music platform with a great legacy. Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world.
Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993).
The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zealand band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands.

The world's most underrated guitarist👍.

[@kenako1]

He’s not understated mate, he’s one of the greats , he’s up there with Hendrix and co, those in the business know he’s brilliant guitarist

[@CorM1]

@@kenako1 I know its subjectif, but Probably he is the greatest of all...

[@tomrixey2311]

Nils is a gorgeously melodic guitarist- a virtuoso of the electric guitar. We all know this but I love proclaiming it! ;-)

[@LucGeurts61]

Pure magic.

[@istvanlukacs8390]

What a fantastic music....

[@leeannhelton3170]

Absolutely amazing piece of artistry by one of the greatest musicians of our time. Nils, you’re a force of nature. Your work here is just stunningly beautiful and masterful. I can’t stop listening.

[@dietmartoensfeldt4122]

i agree

[@bobstrauss9413]

A very underrated musician ...many great artists can say on their records "Nils was here "

[@geraldpribula4911]

I absolutely adore this man. Nils' guitar work on this song, as well as on the breathtakingly beautiful "Girl in Motion", gives me the chills every, single, time!!! Just so good🤗.

[@bryanparker5937]

Brilliant

[@richardbird8889]

Met Nils once, very humble, unassuming guy. Good to know that even the most talented people can be warm and normal. Rock on Nils.

[@richardbird8889]

Liked Nils since the first Grin album back in the day. Great musician.

[@sterntaler3082]

....allerliebst! Ich liebe Nils! 💖😊🎻

[@michaelmorgan9289]

One of my Lofgren favourites. Excellent!

[@Bort9005]

Great song, great performance 👍

[@williamboney7371]

How good is Nils.❤️

[@meistersinger7600]

Unfortunately only two Tracks form this fantastic Session. :-( Two Tracks with Tons of Emotions. Thanks all that are involved.

[@claudioc.9732]

Veramente eccezionale uno dei migliori chitarristi di sempre , troppo sottovalutato

[@frankieg7575]

superb intro ...

[@jeremymitchell995]

I knew this chap was good but I didn't realize just what a fabulous guitarist he is...I've been trawling through much of his stuff and I am completely rapt by his artistry....this song is brilliant but his version of shine silently (actually any of his versions) just blows me away and brings tears to my eyes. Just Wow.

[@geraldpribula4911]

Beautifully said my friend. I close my eyes, and get lost in his harmonic wizardry!

[@ronnie9187]

Exactly, I knew his name but was not at all familiar with his tremendously expressive and emotional way of playing. I believe I listened to this song ten times in a row. An acoustic explosion of colors in which you can wander for hours.

[@zeevogel]

I love that intro. The guy can play.

[@callanderjazzbluesfestival1204]

Superb sound...so so good. Nils is top drawer.

[@garethmillard7005]

At 6 minutes...what music can do to the soul of both listener and player 😲🎸🎸🎸

[@LissLives]

I remember the mid-70s when Grin was played at parties in suburban DC and on the best station ever, WHFS.

[@kennethschroeder4061]

I got into Nils because Springsteen is the 'Boss" then heard this song off the album and introduced my GF and now wife of 25 years to him. Amazing talent due to the passion he has for his craft.

[@brendatrump1271]

Beautiful 😍

[@rosamariafernandezportilla3769]

Bravo Nils!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@garethmillard7005]

Fantastic guitar track, ultimate display of Nils command of harmonics.. Magnificent 🎸🎸🎸

[@TheRobindekker]

Mooi man! Juweeltje!

[@CorM1]

One of the best he surely was/is...

[@dougphillips7194]

Thanks nils

[@robbiegerard7857]

I have been an admirer of Nils since 'shine on' first aired, his part in the e street band is fully justified, of which 'Youngstown' shows his talent to the full, his apprenticeship in the Laurel Canyon band of musicians was a big part of his growth.

[@treadman26]

That man can forever whoop up on a guitar.

[@joseantoniomesoneroguillen669]

Bestial una de mis favoritas

[@2metersessies]

[@daveburns3886]

Nil feels/ knows music- Bruce and Neil saw it!

[@harrisgearheart1277]

His technique reminds me so much of Jeff Beck

[@Zonydeep]

A guy who didn't quite have it

[@uncle4996]

He did have it, his solo work is incredible and he has been playing for Bruce since 1984
