Glen Hansard busks Van Morrison

[@gabruna]

one of my favorite you tube videos of all time. thank you paul murphy forever and ever for capturing this exactly how you did.

[@futuropasado]

Very very few people can cover a mystic masterpiece like Astral Weeks, Glen is one... He understands the feel.

[@jamestracey5958]

I agree 100% you may enjoy this little interview of glen meeting van kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGrEk6uAnKishas

[@niallo23]

Refreshing to see no one with their phones out filming and just enjoying the moment, the good old days!

[@MichousMusicArchive]

glad somebody filmed tho ^^

[@swellframe]

There are few things in life that are worth standing in the rain.This is one of them.Brillant

[@VivaElVodka]

He's amazingly talented, one of those undoubtedly born for music

[@SA-ho2nw]

What a voice, powerful and soulful ♥️

[@matthewleevanhoose3433]

Thirteen years ago KZbin asked me if I wanted to see a video of someone named Glen "busking". I didn't know what busking meant so I clicked on it. Been a fan of Glen and Mic ever since. Just amazing. I get to see him on Aug 8th in Nashville and I can't wait.

[@fluxmagazine]

History in the making.. and look at so many people missing out. I am SO glad I love music as much as I do.

[@mikenjunite]

you can tell this is old, cuz the hole in glen's guitar is just forming.

[@santiviramonte]

SO GENIUS!!!

[@guybendle3539]

Glen, you fuckin rock mate

[@markknopflerisnot]

You know immediately from the first few bars of playing that this is an absolute monster of playing and singing.....just busking on the streets, Glen has a fabulous voice and is a legend......when will we see his like again

[@PaulMurphy75]

This was years ago, 2000 I think. Glad you are all enjoying it!

[@kevb6597]

This is 20 years now , wow

[@PaulMurphy75]

@@kevb6597 tell me about it, time flies eh, time flies!

[@1missmizzy]

This is amazing! I cannot even describe how happy this would make me to see this!

[@Verichai]

Man, Glen is the real thing, a true performer who does what he does because he loves music, loves performing. This video is amazing because this is well before his Grammy win/fame and his trusty Takamine is with him...what character to have had the success he has had and to still be playing the same guitar. Great how he just walks off at the end, so cool!

[@BRAYBOMB]

I fucking love everything about this video. If someone wants to know why Dublin is great show them this video

[@tinasheridan4275]

Brilliant

[@ricardoberti4867]

The singular star

[@pitaats2]

He is the real deal. And seems like a nice guy , too.

[@irland1961]

I wished i had more Hnds to clap!

[@stefanremus8336]

Just wish you a great lucky career on the big stages - where you belong Glen.

[@karlconnolly3994]

GH supported Bob Dylan and Neil Young in Kilkenny... he stole the show.

[@donaldcook3112]

. . . " One singer in three "...

[@EricCartman1st]

He is standing there clapping at the end as the camera pans around , so even Glen stopped that guy in his tracks .

[@vonroberts5148]

how could anyone give this a thumbs down?

[@matthewleevanhoose3433]

I can't get over how people walk around this performance like he was 'in the way". I would have bought tickets to this.

[@arfer]

Glen put it out there.

[@nat00ben06]

Listen to Hansard playing a song he wrote called neath the beeches deticated to Jeff Buckley a beautiful song!

[@david-pb4bi]

Imagine you was in queue for some shit like Oasis ( ok why would you but just imagine) and this man was busking outside I think you would be asking for your money back

[@Burncourtable]

fuckin epic

[@51tomtomtom]

[@hai2410]

@PaulMurphy75 2000 years ago, gosh!

[@TigerDriver66]

@LaGoonch Right, so we wouldn't have any video of this. Relax. This isn't a professional, this is someone like you or me. I would probably be too stupid to even think of taking out a camera.

[@sartainja]

You can hear him enlarging the holes in that guitar.

[@conboybp]

What's up with all the people walking by?

[@FrancescoStrangis]

This is a guitar hero,actually.

[@jgallagher1359]

"tell me ma"

[@uitblazenindepijp]

can't see anyone paying him.. lol did he collect afterwards?

[@JaneWillowMusic]

@jimski123 yeah ok. thanks.

[@snappyjdog]

i wonder if glen has ever played this song without breakinga string.

[@JaneWillowMusic]

[@valentincarp9568]
