Dan Fogelberg - Missing You (from Live: Greetings from the West)

[@johndale8614]

He wrote songs that he liked. Not what the industry told him.

[@wwonka52]

I once drove for a limo company and my coworker got to transport him once in Connecticut. I told my boss I wanted that gig next time, but unfortunately there wasn't one due to is illness.

[@chrishershey4012]

Dan Fogelberg is a Under Rated Artist who Should Be in The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame !!!

[@davidcase7363]

Very True!!! Eric Carmen as well.

[@GuiitarBilly]

Agree Dan was great and more and is more forgotten as the years go by. Don’t think he’ll get into the RRHOF anytime soon bc he is/was considered a 70s/80s pop artist, soft rock at the most. Even though on some songs he rocked pretty hard. Sadly excellent pop artists like Dan, Bread, America, Seals and Crofts, the Carpenters, Loggins & Messina, Eric Carmen and many, many others will probably never get into the RRHOF …and there is no Pop hall of fame.

[@ginathompson5845]

Agreed

[@garywest8705]

Absolutely!

[@leahostevens4859]

He absolutely should be!!

[@karljennings5910]

I have never heard a Fender Strat' sound better in the hands of Clapton, Knopfler, any of them. Holy Moly, I never knew Dan Fogelberg was a world class lead guitarist.

[@markdrake2715]

He was a guitar virtuoso. No doubt. Also great on piano. His interviews were always clear and concise. Underrated as Hell.

[@happyhippie8339]

Dan was an amazing talent…. I’m so upset so many people made the hall of fame and we’re still waiting.

[@sharonjarnagan8045]

[@shihlin1]

Hard to believe this is same guy who wrote and sang those soft rock hits "Longer" "Auld Lang Sang" "Leader of the Band", but this here is some serious kick ass guitar playing and rock vocals. This song and "Heart Hotels" def my fave two, but all his songs are memorable.

[@deafotis]

Saw him many times live in concert! I am truly blessed He was such an amazing artist in so many ways My favorite always Dan!

Right? Man that is a tasty solo.

[@cheriwerk6709]

Dan was so much more than a song writer. I love his artist's attitude in interviews he gave.

[@TheBillyKmusic]

Same here. First time I saw this video. Presumed that one of his support musicians did the lead. Impressive!

There will never be another Dan Fogelberg never!!!

[@user-qn6eo8yy8m]

Mike Botts, my friend, RIP, so much Awesomeness on the drums in all of these songs, but especially this one, Mike is doing things no other drummer can or attempts, "Ghost notes" on the snare, off time, always staying away from "Getting in the Way" of vocals , or important parts.. This is why Mike (Michael Botts) Was first call drummer, favorite drummer of any bassist, Leland Sklar, Bob Glaub, and others. He makes the difficult looks simple, it is not, he is always thinking of the song when he plays, not just "pounding the skins".... Just had to say that , miss him and Dan, Thank you for all that you gave us through the years and especially this legendary live performance here RIP, Still listening "Loud" 2024 !!

[@harrypeters8306]

Dan fogelberg songs always made you think.

[@strivingx67]

[@Maverick2]

I saw Dan sing this in Concert in 1992 at the Desert Sky Pavilion in Phoenix - I have seen him 10 times in concert and got his autograph twice - I get my PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) blood test every year because of Dan - The normal range is 0.00-4.00 - This last September mine was 0.25

[@michaelwilson9849]

I loved Dan’s music. The company I worked developed the PSA blood test - it was a major improvement in finding & diagnosing prostate cancer. It broke my heart that he had fought & lost his battle with prostate cancer. His songs just go straight to your heart.

[@leemichael752]

I was three years old when my dad showed me this performance. I watched it over and over. It's singlehandedly responsible for inspiring me to become a musician. I know the names of every performer and I can recite the interviews between numbers verbatim.

[@randytrader3026]

I can watch his videos and they never get old.. I really miss this guy..

[@RovingRoy]

This song is so haunting to me. When it first came out, I used to sing the refrain rather joyfully. But years later, upon hearing it in 2022, I never realized how prophetic it would be. The lines, "I'm always somewhere that I never belong/ Ooh Ooh, I'm missing you" really hit me when I heard this song today. It's strange, but the first girl I really fell in love with was really so deep an experience for me, but I blew it big time with her. In 1982, the realization hit home to me just how much I blew it while as a sophomore in high school, the same time this song came out. Still, I sung the song as I stated above as if it was a fun song to sing. But despite me growing much as a person and having other relationships over the past four decades, those relationships have all been dead ends, so it's like I'm always somewhere I never belong as Dan sung about in this song. On one level, it seems I'm being punished for blowing it with a girl I fell so so so much in love with at the wrong time because I couldn't handle it. It's been one dead end after another, so yes, I guess I miss her even though I know she apparently moved on with her life just like I tried to, but have yet to feel really redeemed after all this time. Even more interesting are the lyrics in the song "Your love is the promise that guides me/All of the days of my life."

[@goldenhealer5645]

I did the same thing... exactly. I threw away the relationship thinking there would always be someone better. And I think I did that because , as you stated, I couldn't handle it. She was much smarter than me. I was wrong and kept going from girl to girl. And now at 73 I have nothing. Oh I have material things, lots of them but not the one thing I came down to this Earth for... I am writing this to let you know you are not alone..

[@RovingRoy]

@@goldenhealer5645 God bless you sir!!! Thank you for sharing. You're still here...keep hope alive for redemption in whatever open door God has for you. I do. It's hard, I know.

[@lisalu910]

I don't remember this being one of Dan's songs that got a lot of airplay, but it is one of my favorites of his.

[@prozier4378]

It did. I was working in radio when this song came out in ‘82. It’s on his greatest hits album♥️

[@prokofievchambers8603]

He was so baddass. I was first introduced to this beautiful man in 1978 when I had nothing. I was crashing at a friends house after an evening of pot and beer. And, I heard the song “To The Morning”. Oh my God it was so beautiful and it captured the place where I was. And then I saw how beautiful he was. I fell in love with his spirit. Several beautiful pieces of music later, l learned he died. I still mourn for him. He was so beautiful and sensitive. The tune he recorded called “ lm missing you” was so baddass t me because he was a such a softy. I wanted to see his masculine side much because he was so good looking. I got it finally. My heart breaks for his loved ones who personally witnessed his artistic and physical beauty.

[@scottjustscott3730]

[@mjinzer6881]

What a guitarist

[@mbatchelor]

DF's voice got deeper as he got older - a lot more rock sounding than it was when these songs were originally recorded. Sounded wonderful. Too bad he left the world too young I bet he would have sounded great today still. One of the best ever...

[@Eric1990us]

One of these kind of forgotten about early 80's soft rock songs that is pretty good. I Haven't listened to this song in probably 30 years.

[@lockedin60]

I pray that Jean is in a good place tonight/tomorrow. Tomorrow Dec 16 2018 marks the 11 anniversary of Dan's Passing. TG we have yt which gives us performances like this which shows us and the world that Dan was much more than a studio recording genius. He could lay it on the line and perform with so much emotion and skill. I think rare qualities in Today's performance. Did I just hear Dan Sample Layla in this performance. Is anything new really? For Fans and kindred spirits Dan ws much more than a recording star. His mastery of the english language maybe not unique but always seemed to push a button in me that had laid dormant for years. One song in particular always spoke to me like none other. "Make Love Stay". Who has been honest with themselves and not have asked that question.. Especially when that "love" or a "love" has slipped through your hands. I long for that commitment to love yet " the drama" scares me too.

[@LinYouToo]

I can still remember the shock I felt when I learned of Dan’s passing while listening to the radio and the DJ made the announcement. I broke down and cried. 😢

Has there been as talented a songwriter , musician ( blues , jazz , classical , bluegrass , hard and soft rock , pop ? ) I think not --- ( not diving into the early stuff most obscure for many) who only know his " hits" is selling oneself VERY, VERY short One must dive deeply into the well of artistry that was the ouevre of Dan Folgeberg - true artist . Not even in the Songwriters Hall of Fame - how is that even possible ?
