I was 13 yo hanging out in my neighbor Terry's (bass player & band technician) basement watching The Coachmen practice. A new singer had joined the band. He was from across town, a singer with The Squids. It was Danny. My sister's boyfriend was the lead-guitar player. I was lucky. I got to watch those guys every week. Dan started making demos right there in Terry's basement. Gave me goosebumps when Dan really opened up. Before we knew it he was off to Nashville with Irving to start his remarkable career. Hard to believe that was 52 yrs ago. Good times.

I was actually at this concert! The best musical artist ever in my opinion. And this song will always mean more to me than I can ever say in words. Dan was always best at singing my feelings, and he still is. I miss him. Rest in peace Dan. Your legacy lives on!
I know you posted this 15 years ago-and you probably won’t see this-but thank you SO much for this channel. I like so many others have been a fan since the beginning. My best friends college age brother brought Home Free home after finding it in the sales bin in 1973. He went to U of I and had seen Dan playing there and around the Chicago Area where we lived. I borrowed that album and listened to it non-stop. It changed my life. No other artist has had the impact of Dan Fogelberg for me. Each of his records altered the molecules in my world. Thank you Tim for these videos. I inly got to see Dan live once and it was incredible!❤
An old friend introduced me to Dan's music in the 70's and I was in awe! To this day still my favorite artist. Blessed to have seen him perform live a few times. So sad he is gone but thankful his music lives on.

Captured Angel is one of the most heartfelt albums ever. He was devastated over breaking up with his girl, and he puts that emotion into music and lyrics. It's just incredible, one of my all time favorite albums.
My very fave of his. Brings me to tears, every time. Hits waaay too close to home. As does ‘Be On Your Way’... 😔 He played both too few times in his shows. But never failed to make me cry in public when he did. Even in front of my ex fiancé, when I made sure he saw Dan live during this same, 25th Ann tour. Where I wore a T from an early 70s show. He played both songs & I couldn’t contain my heartache at the loss of the LOML in front of him. He was the closest I came, but he knew he wasn’t ‘the one’. Needless to say, we didn’t get married. We’re still friends, however. Just saw him again yesterday. But haven’t seen the LOML in 37yrs. He was an acoustic guitar musician too. And how we met. He was singing Dan’s songs. And others. You never forget the one that got away...💔 And Dan put everything into words like no other. I hope he’s at peace.💙
this song, and the rest of the captured angel album was part of my first great lost love...i almost lost my mind over it...and who knows if not for this music to make sense of it maybe i would have....you look back on life sometimes and wonder, wait, what happened to my life, what happened to me, to that love, to who we were, how can it be gone...

I was introduced to DF by my HS girlfriend, with the Phoenix record. I immediately went back and bought every record prior: Home Free, Captured Angel, and Twin Sons (at the time…that’s all there were). DF became my guitar instructor, and a HUGE influence on how I play and what I’ve written, both lyrically and musically. Was blessed to see him multiple times, both solo and with a band. The best ones were solo…20,000 people singing as a choir to one guy with an acoustic guitar. The sheer power of that was incredible. Let it shine….
Dan Fogelberg, one of my Heros. Thanks to You Tube and all his fans I can finally see him perform his music. I never had the honor of seeing him live and his music beats strong in my heart from the 70's. I am sad he's left us and so humbled to know all of his music. Thank You Dan.
I saw this tour! The only time I got to see Dan live! I had tickets for the tour in the 70s when he got so sick and had to cancel. I was SO happy when he did this song, it just may be my favorite of his, which is impossible for me to actually say as it depends n the day, time or circumstance.

I am very grateful to be able to watch this video, to hear him do this song live. Dan was an extremely talented singer; a truly gifted songwriter and musician. I so love hearing his older songs done in more recent times...there was a maturity to his voice, a deeper resonance (vocally and emotionally) that completes the journey of the song, from the soul of the artist to the souls of all who have been blessed enough to hear him.
What an amazing talent this man is, one of the greatest lyricists and musicians of all time and the voice of an angel. Fogelberg inspired me to take up,acoustic guitar after playing bass guitar in younger days. For a long time I played nothing but his music. I was sincerely saddened by his death but lucky enough to,see him live 4-5 times. He played with many of the greatest, joe Walsh, Don Henley, glen frey,, graham nash, Steven stills, David Crosby, and played and harmonized on each other's records. His music lives on and has lasting quality and always will. So under-rated. He is missed greatly. I am proud to be a lifelong fan.
years after teaching myself the basics of playing an acoustic guitar, I taught myself how to "really" play the instrument by listening to, and playing along with Dan (and Ian Anderson and Justin Hayward) - I went on to write enough songs to fill an album but never took it any further - I was happy with what I had done and I realized that I didn't need to be a star - we had Dan!
Always loved Dan! My favorite place to see him was a 2,000 person venue in Valley Forge, PA. The stage was round and moved for ALL to see him. Very intimate venue, he loved performing there, as well!
My God I love this song..thank you so much for posting this. I had the chance to see Dan live only once..this would have been so awesome to be a part of. We miss you Dan.
a very powerful song, I totally understand why "this time sing a little more slowly" at the ending, so much love and feeling still last.... thank you for posting one of my favorite!
so painful......missing you......these videos do not do him true justice.....but they are comforting in many ways at the same time......gone but not forgotten 1-4-3-6-7

Strange- -I just saw her the other day- -. After almost 15yrs. She flew, we both did. No-regrets from me, except she's still soooo beautiful, god I loved that women. She didn't say she loved the man, but what suprised me the most, was that even though I always thought it would, the offer no longer stands. Not that she asked, or even that she would, but I can't tell you, how good it was to go home and play this song, with NO heartache! I am so luck to have seen him "live", many times! (lucky
I don't know....I waited years and years and saw him at least 10 times. He never played this song and I so love it!....Thank you to whomever posted this. Brings back a lot of beautiful memories and I really miss him.

Thanks for posting this! One of my favorite songs from Dan and on the same record as Face The Fire (another great). Dan lived his life completely and compassionately and was just simply a down to earth good person. Amazing talent, great song writer and guitar skills to boot. I'd put him in front of many that had more 'success' commercially than him (agree with those other comments). If you saw him once or 50 times you got that in a second. RIP Dan.
Great song. Cool to look back and see all of our comments from when we all came together from different roads and Dan brought our paths together. Ever On.
@wrh61 I don't know, but I have always felt as if he could have written the song for me and a long lost love--the mark of a great song and great songwriter.
So sad.. Another year without Dan. Tim, thank you so much for all of your efforts putting his songs/videos in one place. Just a question - anyone hear some Neil Young in this? Thanks again!

I have no words to express how I feel about the loss so early of this man. By far one of the greatest Lyricists to ever grace this side of Heaven!!
A most gracious and accurate statement....bravo!!
Yes Dave, I too, 15 years after his passing, am still grieving the loss of the most talented musician/songwriter ever.
…add me to that list. Sitting out back smoking a great cigar, sip of scotch, earbuds in listening to Dan…..and thinking the same thing

One of our greatest artist...Heaven is singing
He was a truly gifted human.
Loved Dan! One of the greatest poet's and musician of our time! He was taken away to soon! Glad he left us such beautiful music! Truly an Angel!
Perhaps my favorite of Dan's extraordinary repertoire.
