Dan Fogelberg - Same old Lang Syne (2004)

[@DrumCoversbyBill]

Most moving rendition of this beautiful song I have ever seen. Totally brought me to tears. He performed with such emotion it's clear this song meant so much to him and that clarinet solo at the end... WOW.

❤❤❤

[@mariemegilligan1316]

"And as I turned to make my way back home, the snow turned into rain." That line gets me everytime.

17 years tonight..we miss you Dan.. and thank you for the music..

[@michaelmartin8036]

Song is 40+ years and I still get that feeling inside my chest. Brings back so many memories. Thank you, Dan, for your music!

[@BeingMe23]

The actual event will be 50 years old in 2025! 😮

[@eugeniodgv]

By far the best singer/songwriter to have ever walked this earth. I feel sorry for all of those who have not yet discovered or learned to appreciate the incredible well of beauty this man left behind by leaving us at age 56. Truly only the good die young. Forever missed.

[@josiedivincenzo792]

I loved him so much then, and still do now. May his soul be soaring in love and power.

[@no834]

He's dead. Nothing left but dust dear . Same all of us will become.

[@missangelpirateprincesspea7263]

I actually cried at the end of this i'm not even kidding, this was the same year i was born and this song would always play on the radio between that time and christmas OMG I just recently found this performance and i just turned 17 and this was so emotional

[@JerseyToTheBone]

We all did, trust me you aren't alone. It's a tugger!

[@missangelpirateprincesspea7263]

@@JerseyToTheBone yeah especially since he passed 3 years later

[@retphotojourno9781]

I am 58 it pulls on me as well!

[@Miamiflow885]

I never liked the last chorus " and the snow turned into rain"

[@chrismechanic6164]

Now that you've found this song, look up the rest of this great artist and his other hits. You will not be disappointed. If you already have, please disregard this comment 😎. Let me add this though, since you like this song and the story it tells, look up the real story behind the song. You'll probably cry all over again. Sorry, but not sorry. You'll understand.

[@jamesharrigan7063]

He’s dying here, but had to get this performance done for the innocent love ❤️ he had back in school, a love he couldn’t get back, but only through this song 🎵

[@allthebest744]

He was diagnosed with advanced cancer in 2004, the year this was recorded. It was as if he was singing this alone in his studio, instead of at a concert. There is so much emotion in his voice. He was an amazing musician and songwriter. He is truly missed. ❤️

[@seewhy7761]

One of the greatest songs ever....

[@nicholasyoutube910]

and he ruined it by singing it weird

[@sartainja]

Another great musician that left us way too soon.

[@dougtracy3995]

I tear up everything I see this version. You can tell he was in so much pain during this concert.

[@TheLifeEvents]

I still miss my Ex-wife so much, and it was my fault. Thank you, lovely man. xx

[@laraoneal7284]

I loved this song so much. He was such a beautiful story teller. This doesn’t do the original justice but I understand he was ill here. Such a pure soul.

[@chrismechanic6164]

Dan Folgelberg was an artist major while in college. In high school he was in a rock band but almost didn't pursue a musical career because he said they mainly played partys and school dance gigs and you didn't get much applause and the pay wasn't much. So, he went on to college to become an artist. He said that after a few years both him and the college agreed that he wasn't really going to be much of a great artist and the rest is history!

[@burfordkelley1670]

Beyond the clashes of memories from the 80’s rest in peace brother 🍻

[@BumphreyHogart]

This song is written very honestly. That’s probably what makes it relatable for so many.

[@teamdawson1]

Thank you Dan. The world sucks. We really need you down here

[@sartainja]

Amen, Team. It sucks a big one.

[@lepermessiah9309]

Do what i do.....be good to your neighbour..its all you can do....hopefully it rubs off and spreads....ignore the news

[@le_th_]

So, the world sucks...and your way of wanting to repay this beautiful soul who left us such a gorgeous body of music and storytelling is to bring him back down to this sucky world???? Are you a sociopath? smh

[@fredclear4069]

I will never tire of this song.

[@eddieonmelrose]

Saw Dan when I was living in LA at the old Universal amphitheater. I dragged my gf at the time. She started to cry. It reminds me of my East Coast birth place of which I now reside. I now visit the places my old gf and I frequented on New Years. And I cry!!

[@lpkarol]

I saw him at Starlight Theater in Kansas City in the summer of 2002. Definitely touring then. Great concert! This is a touching and soulful rendition of a classic song. His music is still alive and moving.

[@MadDog31542]

Love you Dan. I think of you every year. ❤❤

[@JordanCrowderFilms]

Great song, I liked it so much I turned it into a film.

[@Craig-bz3dm]

I remember watching this PBS special like it was last year !!! This Minstrel had a Special Way of Painting a Picture on A Canvas with Words . God Bless You Dan 💖💖💖

[@debbieschmidling8158]

❤

[@mhcastellow]

Missing you tonight Dan, the Eve of your passing, too many years ago. Life isn’t right

[@yourhouseandyou6767]

gone too soon, too young

[@darrellwalker5203]

Greatest song of my genaration.rip dan.

[@tinastanley4444]

What a song!!

[@danlindstrom2137]

Reminded me of Dorothy and Sandra. Best song ever. I loved those women.

[@giannimauriziomacina3047]

Dan you will be a truly poet . Forever

[@sparkyspark964]

We can all relate...❤💔💔💙

[@darrellwalker5203]

He must have been sick with prostate cancer then.u can tell he don't have his range.brave man.secretive man he didn't like people to invade on his space.just saw the interview last night.

[@terryfriend16]

Yeah, the recording was filled with richness. Here he was struggling.

[@mariebonillaelzarka1062]

😢 every time I hear this beautiful son 😢

[@luciosoltero5007]

Great!!!

[@InfoArtistJKatTheGoodInfoCafe]

I'm so thankful he wrote this song and happy that he could express his emotions during this performance but the spazzy stuff was just for him and doesn't work for the audience.

[@burfordkelley1670]

Many memories 🍷

[@hikewithmike4673]

beautiful song!

[@aakroyd]

LEGEND !

[@elizabethlatorre5360]

The yr he was diagnosed with prostrate cancer

[@doonbiz]

How terrible. He was sick here. He didn't want this performance released. Wonder why Jean did. Miss him so much

[@debbieschmidling8158]

I’m thankful Jean did though.

[@peterchios9637]

~~~MASTERPIECE~~~ SHINE ON 💎 🎼☮️👊🇨🇦💫

[@jasonpinson8755]

I saw this special.wish I had a ticket.r.i.p.thank you.💚❤️

[@clydesukeforthchapter]

This was obviously after the throat surgery that changed his life and voice. Gosh...I can't believe he's been gone so long.

[@jamesharrigan7063]

..saw doubt or gratitude.

[@pearshapedtone-q1s]

A lot of fun to learn. I posted a 1 minute piano version of this

[@hikewithmike4673]

good medicine!

[@GreatBeyond74]

Where are the high parts?

[@le_th_]

Eaten away by the cancer he was dying of when this was filmed. Cancer has a way of doing that to the body once it metastesizes.

[@rebeccablack7839]

😢

[@kdp9122]

That was painful.

[@leaettahyer9175]

He left out the lines where the self checkout thinks you are stealing and says you have to wait for the attendant.

[@cathym.6209]

The man in the video is not Dan Fogelberg but an imposter. Dan was never that hefty, never wore a suit. The last time Dan Fogelberg performed live was in 1999 when he was promoting the Portrait album, an 18 months tour. He suffered a stroke in fall 2000 that messed him up so badly, he retired.

[@cathym.6209]

Dan Fogelberg never performed in this venue. He had a small following of fans and always performed in smaller venues. He wasn't performing in 2004. His final live performances were an 18-month tour from 1997 to 1999 to promote the " Portrait" album. After that, Fogelberg retired in 2000. And he was Never heavy. The man in this video is an imposter.

[@hazzachannel1]

AM BEGINNING TO AGREE.

[@BeingMe23]

I imagine watching this live was amazing! 🥹🎤🎹🎷🔊
