Bruce Hornsby, The Noisemakers - Fortunate Son (Live at Town Hall, New York City, 2004)

[@anna_qc255]

I can't listen to Pink Floyd because they reminds me of a bad time. But I missed them sometimes. This song doesn't hurt even though also contains the extremely sad story. This is a new experience for me, it's something about ability to get through hard times without getting depression. Thank you so much, Mr. Hornsby.

[@michaelgallagher4221]

This is absolutely one of his best songs ever. Giving the old man a salute is our country and being a fortunate son is the shear bliss of returning home from war. There are many that never made it back as you can see if you visit Arlington National Cemetery. I had six Great Uncles in WWII. I will never forget a short conversation with my Uncle John. I asked him Uncle John are you going to see Saving Private Ryan? He said no Michael I’m not. You can see war and hear war, I smelt war it was my Brothers blood on the beach when we landed in Normandy. That conversation still brings me to tears it was one of the most moving conversations I ever had with anyone that served in WWII. Miss you Great Uncle John, Robert, Rollin, Francis, Thomas, Jack, and forever grateful to Amby that paid the ultimate sacrifice for our Nation. God Bless you all.

Can't stop coming back to this. A magical performance.

[@iancudd7569]

Yea me to his voice sounds so sad like he really exsperinces the pain in his songs only discovered this song recently can't get it out of my head.

[@alpineinc1]

I appreciate Bruce Hornsby always following his muse, often far afield from his early hits, but he is such a supremely gifted pop music composer and performer that one only wishes he did much more in this vein throughout his career. Emotional and moving.

[@SoundBridgeAcousticLabs]

Hard to say how much your music means man. The soul of this song and this performance is such a gift. Thanks so much for that! Brilliant!

[@MatthewSteele-nh7vg]

I’m right there with you brother

Good call. People who don't like animals should be avoided.

[@frankitoca]

Simply put, just an amazing medley.

[@Big-Daddy-96]

Powerful arrangement of two great songs. As a Vet myself, thank you Bruce. Some of my friends never came back and I consider myself a fortunate son.....

After all these years, Bruce's music continues to bring smiles and emotions to me. This piece of live performances will continue to inspire and bring joy long after I'm gone. Ohh!!! They don't make it like this anymore Bruce. Thank you

[@johnroberthanna1623]

brilliance on display - wow just love this redition

[@TheMazzimM]

Mr. Hornsby, contemporary American musical genius.

[@atravelerofbothtimespace4172]

This song always makes me think of my pops and the experiences he went through in Vietnam and what he may still carry w him It makes me ponder classic American values and takes me to a peaceful place in my thoughts

[@susanwickham7598]

Your music means so much to people thank you you give hope to everyone thank you your great ❤

[@michaellapetina4623]

Bruce and the band sound awesome! Like a good wine it seems to get better with age

[@MikeBreenSingerSongwriter]

Bruce is astoundingly great!!!

[@alanmccrary9479]

Lucky to have your music in my life. Great concert @ Biltmore House many years ago. Always..

[@divinerdetective44]

Genius! 💖💖💖

[@Ergoffianer]

I was fortunate enough to see Bruce for the first time at the small club Karlsson in Stockholm back in 1986. Huey Lewis joined on stage for a couple of songs before returning to Konserhuset where he and the News played the same night. Bruce's music have brought nothing but sheer joy to me ever since. There are a few really great artists/musicians who really stand out as special and unique in this world and I would like to thank Bruce for a lifetime achievement of absolutely outstanding piano playing and brilliant composing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! / Ulf Lovéus

[@TheMonkeyBiscuits]

what the fuck, you are lucky, din jävel

[@NicBanck]

same here, just in copenhagen !

[@paulbeard4218]

His accordian work is great !

Props to the good dads out there

[@Catherine-si5zk]

Thanks Tomato!! I appreciate you for giving me this band

[@silver-hammer]

This is a great band with Bruce here, what a joy his music is, sophisticated yet earthy and polished..

[@jmmacb03]

I needed some Bruce Hornsby to play loud for my bass playing neighbour. We have the same taste in music-it has to be great. And I _never_ have auto-play "on" but, I did today…thank goodness or I wouldn't have heard this. I feel choked up. Cheers, from Toronto ♥

[@jeanauber866]

Marvelous you are ..I think my favorite song of all time is THAT' S THE WAY ! CONGRATS TO MAKE ME LESS ALONE. BRUCE XXX

[@nucreature2948]

I get teary eyed Everytime I hear this song!

[@lukethecoolfool]

You know Bruce loves this song. He played it after my dad requested it at a show in Pisgah, NC.it was his encore.

[@emilykirkman8468]

How lovely! His piano skills are out of this world!!

[@njetherington]

I requested it too! Sadly, he played another but this video reminds me of what it might have been like. Sublime.

[@lauragroce3816]

My husband was a Vietnam vet. Not drafted. Joined up 68. Came home and we fell in live 42 years. He died of glio brain cancer

[@harryboodyiii4302]

Bruce, please play this when you come to Collingwood,NJ next week!!!!!❤

[@jshepard152]

Bruce always takes requests. You write it down and put it on the stage pre-show.

[@williamfeuermann2590]

Bruce's piano music and song combined with his other musical instrumentation from the band certainly calms the tension in any person and brings both harmony and peace to the mind and spirit of any individual.

[@rgrn220]

[@tedhoeborn2310]

Got to see him the first time when he was the headliner at the Concord Pavilion in '88. Then some years later when he opened for Bonnie Raitt at Shoreline. Then in the 90s when he did a show at Concord with Jackson Browne, David Lindley, Shawn Colvin and Raitt. Great shows, all of them.

[@alessandrosilva2924]

Such an ambient song, this is good! Bruce, you got it! I can also hear harmonies from Pink Floyd.

[@mp015l2989]

I was unsuccessfully fighting back tears hearing this song for the first time today lol! How can today be the the first time that I have ever heard this masterpiece lol! Absolutely stunning!

[@videosyncrisy]

Couldn’t love Bruce’s music more if I tried. A poet, an inventor and a musical genius.

[@FraserColtman]

A beautiful combination of songs linked by the theme of emotional passion and drug abuse.

[@dereklorimer1914]

Called out to the angels, no one ever came….. amazing interlude, Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb…..reprise Into Fortunate Son. Grateful Dead influence all the way! Love you Bruce and band!

[@lauragroce3816]

I can’t tell you how much my husband needed Redemption dying from brain dancer. From Vietnam He signed up. Get it over with. He came home. But not really alive. Damn these wars. He’s gone now but still had a loving heart for his country

[@lauragroce3816]

He and my father a veteran surviving Germany Army. WW2. They were my hero’s. F TRUMP

[@Eggmanontheair]

if you've listened to this song and haven't read Lewis Puller Jr's "Fortunate Son," you're really missing half the meaning of this song.

[@Bepollard1]

What a smooth transition

[@mikegarrison3004]

Love Bruce alone but ever more when he plays/played with the Dead

[@atravelerofbothtimespace4172]

Love Bruce w the Dead ❤️

[@orlandogastaldi4166]

Hermoso

[@lauragroce3816]

I love you have for many years. My husband in Vietnam

[@davidphillips5961]

Our Father like us thank you for speaking and their is Bruce! Saints know the price you payed for him on that cross for him to never be separated from your word as you help him turn his fog into your glory clouds yet he knows looking out heavens window comes with no pain!

[@atravelerofbothtimespace4172]

❤️ thanx Bruce

[@frankt3277]

The Ultimate Last Call Song

[@qdog568]

Bruce wrote this song after having read "Fortunate Son" an autobiography written by Lewis Puller Jr. A must read.

[@ZekeUlrey]

First! Great medley/take.

[@billhasty5197]

WOW

[@metalbendr1296]

Amazing... let's go out and burn one

[@maryannjohnson1189]

YES 😄

[@dannycassidy4088]

Hey Bruce ..it's not too late ... He can save our wandering restless heart...that empty spot where no one ever came ... the only real get lucky ...its Jesus He died and Rose again... hey a Brand New Life into an eternal paradise ..don't it make you thirsty...... you could be a lucky one .

[@ajtone3269]

I wonder what the relation this song has to Comfortably Numb. Fortunate Son, Comfortably Numb, it rolls off the tongue the same. Even sounds like the melody is even similar... Either way, I love the transition.

[@donnytarbert6839]

J T is a hell of a synth player.
