Everyone remembers the line “that’s just the way it is, some things will never change.” But they forget the most important part- the line that follows- “ahhh, but don’t you believe them.”
Yup, spot on. I don’t believe them. 🙌❤️
never have...never will
GOD-DAMNED RIGHT!
💯
end of the innocence by don henley has bruce playing the piano throughout the song. you know it's bruce.
I NEVER knew that! Crap learned something new in 2024.
I only learned a few weeks ago that Bruce was the piano on Bonnie Rait's "I Can't Make You Love Me." I'd always loved that piano and had never connected it to Bruce Hornsby.
I could listen to Bruce's playing all day.
One of my all time favorite songs PERIOD💯👑
Tupac knew what he was doing when he sampled this song.
Correction…..Bruce knew what he was doing. Tupac stole his work
Bruce Hornsby left an indelible mark on the West Coast sound of the 1980s in California. A composer, musician and singer, Bruce Hornsby is equally at home in jazz, rock, funk, classical music and blues, and is also a seasoned and acclaimed bluegrass musician. He also played with the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia, before making a name for himself on the silver screen, in the film "World's Greatest Dad", with Robin Williams, or Backdraft.
The song was sampled by Tupac on the track "Changes" ft Talent released in 98.
Thanks and Happy New Year !!!!!
My first apartment was just across a creek and a street from an auditorium. The night I moved in, there was a music festival going on in the park on front of that auditorium, and when I went out on my back porch Bruce Hornsby was playing this song, and I could hear it very clearly. It wasn't my thing at the time as a punk rock kid, but I stayed out there for the rest of the concert. He was fantastic.
On theme: That apartment was a decent-sized 2/2 and cost me $365 a month in 1989. It now goes for $1700, with no significant upgrades. The cost of it quadrupled, but minimum wage has barely doubled in that time, and that was a complex marketed to freshman college kids with those jobs. We all had roommates. It's not like that now.
I was just talking about that with someone on how the housing market doesn’t match how much ppl are making these days, it’s ridiculous smh
Makes me cry for how long we've been fighting this fight. Love this song of constant hope. ❤
some things will never change...
I highly highly recommend his live show. If you love great piano, song, and performance you will never forget this man’s talent.
Bruce Hornsby, a native of Williamsburg, Virginia, is my all time favorite person in Rock and Roll, and a great musician, songwriter and human being. No wonder the Good Ol' Grateful Dead wanted him to play with them for a couple of years in the early 1990's. Had the pleasure of seeing him play live on many occasions, both with The Range, and when he played with The Dead, and he was always the same, FANTASTIC. Thanks Teez, hope you enjoyed it, sounds like you did.
Yeah he helped ease Vince into Brent's spot. A legend.
Exactly. Didn't really work though. Sorry Vince.@@michaelbruin8972
This song was a monster hit at the time, try Mandolin Rain... its another of his bangers
Appreciate that 🙌 I’ll check it out
It's sad that a song like this, with two piano solos, would never be allowed today.
Tupac's version is great, but this is the OG! I love both songs! They have the same message for us. ... I love your reaction, too! Thank you 💙
Bruce is really talented. (TOTP) is top of the pops.
Top of the Pops is a program on the BBC Television which features musical artists.
Bruce Hornsby was a musical genius....the melodies that he created were beyond revolutionary in pop rock. Imo Bruce was the modern day BEATHOVEN...music just flowed out of his fingers and voice
He still is a genius. Still touring.Right now,doing tours in two countries and has 34 upcoming concerts.
TOTP stands for Top of the Pops, a live music show in the UK. All the hugest stars played on there like the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Supremes...really just every great artist. Started in 1964 & was still big until around 2006! Something like American Bandstand, Soul Train or The Midnight Special we used to have in the US.
Even though there is nothing live about the performance except the visual miming. It's the studio track. Weird how they make artists do that.
Bruce is definitely talented , shows music has no borders with the fact that Tupac sampled this. Kinda like when artists from two different genres collaborate & it works out perfectly ❤
Love that you noticed the low end. Such a classic. My man. Thank you for your reaction.
TOTP - Top of the Pops - British TV show
I dont think there is another piano player that makes playing piano look so easy, as Joe Dirt would say daaaaang 😂😊
TOTP was a Tv show in the UK from 1964 to 2006. Each show featured new entries to Top 40, highest climbers on the chart and the number one. Number one was the only one to be able to be featured on consecutive week(s).
Top Of The Pops
Saw Bruce Hornsby @ the Fillmore; he was SO good. Check him out playing with Bonnie Raitt doing "I Can't Make You Love Me."
You only would hope that more people of ignorance would take this song to heart as Bruce intended it.He is a magnificent story teller and awesome on the piano as well
Afrostraighteners especially need to take it to heart considering no other group of people on earth are nearly as racial/racist as them.
Bruce Hornsby and the Range, Rainbow Music Hall in Denver, Sept. 11, 1986. One of my most memorable concert experiences.
Great reaction Teez. Your audio and your placement of the big video format behind you is so much better than most reactors. Good job.
After the Grateful Dead's keyboardist died he toured with them for a couple tours and was fantastic. He excelled at improvising
Now you have to do Debarge - Stay With Me.... You'll get it once you react to it. Another MAJOR sample....
Dude you wear your feelings about music and I love it.
I love your reaction on this clip ... I have the same one ... Love this song .
Bruce went on to play with the Grateful Dead for a period of time after their key board player passed away. He played piano and the accordion as well with the Dead.
He was the keyboardist for the Grateful Dead
Bruce looks like Wittgenstein playing the piano!
This was a really huge hit, on MTV 24/7. No doubt Tupac saw it on MTV or heard it on the radio, everyone knew it back then. Bruce Hornsby is very well known for his piano skills, he has a recognizable sound to his playing that you know right away if he's playing on a record for another artist. Glad you liked it!
Wow ... never saw this live version. Most times it is the video....Thanks.
Bruce is very talented. We love him
Top of the Pops (TOTP) is a British music chart television programme, made by the BBC and broadcast weekly between 1 January 1964 and 30 July 2006.
Great reaction, Teez. This has long been a favorite of mine. Another song that will have you smiling with recognition from the opening bars is "Woman to Woman," by Joe Cocker, one that has been sampled numerous times by numerous artists. Keep the goodies coming!
Best live concert I ever saw when I lived in FL. Doubt they would be welcome now with his message
If you haven't yet, react to "Mandolin Rain", by Hornsby. I think you'd dig it.
Much Love for this one!
2pac sample went so hard with me too.
Excellent reaction!
Saw him in Germany back in the late 80's when I was stationed there because he was a local Virginia kid and had seen him earlier in his career. He saw racism up close and a lot of his songs are about the need for social change. Elton John once commented Bruce was the best pianist he ever heard. Hornsby also spent several years with the Grateful dead after Garcia died as their keyboard player. We'll know and respected in the industry and has never forgotten his Virgina roots.
totp = top of the pops. an european song contest.
Great song. Yes, he can really play that piano! ❤
Bruce is brilliant!!!!
Great video, great choice. Love both versions!
TOTP = "Top of the Pops", a popular TV program that features the latest artists and the latest hits.
One of the best Pianists ever!❤
Amazes me that black culture has been so ingrained in one style of music that they missed decades of great music like this..
I guess you don’t know many black people?
Culture isn’t what “they” push on the people, it’s the people.
@@tsak912 I know plenty
@@simplecarnivoreexpand your circle or, your idea of “black culture”.
@@tsak912My circle has been expanded for over 50 years bro..You just don't get it do you.
@@simplecarnivoreno, I get it. You think that black culture is a monolith.
You make the same mistake that most people make, thinking that what you think see is the only reality.
Check out the words! Just as important as Tupac’s. ❤
TOTP was a program called Top Of The Pops
Takes me back nephew 🖤🖤🖤
Hi 👋 Teez, 😂 I see you pulled another one out of your time capsule, haven’t heard this throw back in ages , beautiful piano 🎹 music 🎼, hope you had a good New Year 🎉 look forward to hearing all about your new year resolutions 😂❤
Time Machine vibes 😂😂😂 I’ll be live on twitch soon😉
I had such a crush on Bruce growing up oh my God 1986 the way it is mandolin rain oh my God Valley Road every little kid oh my gosh❤
I have seen another video, but it is the first time i've seen this video. Never knew this video existed.
Ha! The gormless British teenagers talking behind! TOTP ("Top Of The Pops" - weekly BBC show that ran for decades. Had a massive audience back then) was mimed back at this time. As time went on, more acts did it live.
The down message holds no weight, it's all about the upward momentum.
its amazing ,men can create a piano and learn to play it magnificentally,the same men can create a bomb and drop it on another human, that stupefies me......
Tupac did the tribute to Biggie using Every Breat You Take by the Police.
His album "Hot House" is a favorite.
I hadn't watched video of Hornsby performing in years, but seeing a few reactions recently where different reactions recognized the song from Tupac
I am struck by how much of his style is seen when Alicia Keys is on piano...you can tell that she was also inspired by this man and strives to bring that same energy and groove to her play
Mandolin Rain… one of my favorite songs of ALL TIME.
Check it out.
Bruce said he got paid VERY well when Tupac recorded it. 👍🏻🌼💛
Tupac was 14 when this came out
You mean TOTP? It's the name of the show Top of the Pops.
Have had this LP since it debuted ❤❤❤
Check out "Long Valley Road" by BH&TR. It eas the way it was...😢
Song has a great anti-racism message. The key line after people say “That’s just the way it is…” in the chorus - He says “but don’t you believe them.”
Love that 🔥🔥🔥
He's quoting the mean guy. Listen to the lyrics.
check out bruce on across the river featuring jerry garcia on guitar
Bruce and Spike Lee
Good morning Teez ❤️.
☺️☺️☺️❤️
Top of the Pops is an English TV show
Bands in the day had to prove themselves on their skill, no auto tuning or computer generated music here.....
So, not only is Bruce Hornsby incredible, but just another reason why Tupac was a true GOAT! For him to choose this track was just impeccable! Great reaction!
hey teez, try NO LIMIT by Breakwater
🔥
Chops.
❤️🥰
After Tupac passed they found his song and presented it to Bruce Hornsby. He really liked it. It had the same story and he gave his permission to release it.
🤣🤣🤣
Back in good old 1985
🤣🤣🤣
i like the word "sample" , as compared to cultural appropriation .
It took 2pac for blk pple to see bruce Hornsby song... which is relevant
So relevant that 2pac had to shove it in your face how many years later
You’re right on so many levels, yes that boy can play! Not a better pianist out there, and yes Tupac did a little more than just “sample” this song, he pretty much did a cover of it
The proper word is …stole
@@MikeHart72 yeah, I guess you could say that
I think Tupac was also heavily influenced by the message in this song’s lyrics.
Tupac basically took the entire song and rewrote the lyrics. Sincerest form of flattery.
Those soaring piano solos will never leave me. The band probably had an easy night when this was being recorded though - TOTP was lip-synched (and finger synched!) in those days.
Love this song...i especially like but don't you believe them
Being a fan of music except for Rap. You will be surprised how many songs have been sampled from great bands and musicians by rappers. Watch the other videos of all the reactions when they watch this video, all are totally surprised Tupac sampled this song and others. Tupac's best kept secret.
The vast majority of people believe in equal rights for all.
The drummer starts late.
He's lip syncing, which is sad - because they could play it live.
Dude, you reacted to this song two years ago, I just came from that video to here. Don't fake it, keep it real, because then what's the point?
That's a lot of white.
I need a context 😅
@@TeezMcGee, for a song about racial injustices... like Bruce Springsteen wrote, I'm BLINDED by the WHITE. JK. But like... no one else wanted to show up? Weird.
@@elysehfm8797 ooooh I see what you’re saying, that is a bit odd, I didn’t know the message behind the song initially
@@TeezMcGee, it reminded me of MTV which was also super white in the beginning, so I started looking.
He wrote and played the song. It was England in the 80 s you think he controlled the tv station? Take anything good & make it sour much?
How many more bullshitters are going to play this classic and suddenly "realise TUPAC" did this. THIS BS is getting tedious.
Pac took the whole song changed the lyrics, without improving them and layer them on top.
Let's hear it for the old white guys that have been awake before today's woke were out of their diapers, (that's assuming they have been potty trained).
The upbeat dancing and clapping does not match the very serious and heavy nature of the lyrics.
is “sampling” the new word for ripoff?
No … it’s goes back to a court case from early 90’s
And to think you're still asked your race on a job application. Never understood what your race had to do with applying for a job.
... get a job!
One of my favorite songs, but….
Look at those PEDO SYMBOLS on the wall!!! 🔥😡
I don't call it sample , I call it stealing ,
Straight up stealing. He took so one else’s work and put his name on it
Nah, he created something new , the original still stands. Tupac used it because both artists are spreading the same message. I’ll never understand why people think making something new outta something old detracts somehow from the original. It doesn’t, it just brings something new to an audience that mat not have been exposed to the original. I bet Bruce loved tupacs version because they are ultimately preaching the same message and that’s what’s important . They say steal like an artist , every artist does it , take some things you live and make something new. And besides , Bruce would have made plenty of money from tupacs version . If you don’t like it , don’t listen to it but it’s not stealing. It’s the highest compliment and a recognition of the great music, lyrics and message from the original. By your reasoning everything has been stolen because everything borrows from everything else.
@@steviefraser5240 Then why did Tupac not put on his record that it came from another artist, he tried to play it off like it was his , and I don't listen to music by fake artists, Tupac is another Willie Vanilly a fake artist does not have the talent to write his own stuff and did you see anything from Tupac saying where the music came from , Changes is a direct rip-off of Hornsby's music
@@steviefraser5240 Tupac took the the main parts of the song and put his name on it. Tupac straight up took Bruce’s work and claimed it as his own.
If Tupac was so talented he would have made his own music. As it is, he is a hack and way too many people bought into it.
@@MikeHart72 no , Bruce is clearly credited as the songwriter on tupacs version . He cdnt do it without permission . Bruce would have been paid handsomely to by mcps and the labels agreement . How is that stealing when all parties agree ? Not to mention that Bruce has put in record how much he liked tupacs version . Please don’t take this the wrong way but it sounds like you don’t know much about the record industry and how it works and seem to have beef with Tupac . He added his own twist and if Bruce liked it why would anyone else get upset about it ? It’s just another piece of art in the world , it takes nothing away from the original
