Amazed at how many people say they only want to hear music played the same way all the time. I love Bruce and can listen to him play the way he feels every time. That's what geniuses do. And the schmucks that think it's being treated badly just don't get it. The Noisemakers are such a great bunch of musicians.
I'm going through all the Woodstock 99 sets in order and I'm enjoying this one a lot!! Never seen a Hornsby set before but I love how he's not afraid to switch it up. Very entertaining.
Consummate musician and poetic genius. And his voice is soothing and soulful. I'm always in the mood to listen to Bruce Hornsby. I love his improvisation of his songs as he explores the depths of his music. Always Fresh and New. Awesome Live and in the studio. Yo it's the Eternal JAM
Hello Webster, just wrote my comment above and the read the others and found yours saying similar things. Nice to see not to be the only one feeling the same way. Cheers!
B. H. is in my eyes the greatest contempory connector of classic, jazz and best pop music on piano. One of a kind. I love his extended poetic improvisations. Like a fresh shower of summer rain. And I like him sing so much. A wonderful smooth voice and phrasing. And his songs are b.t.w. simple awesome. I never get bored to listen to this music hundreds of times. Simple pleasure. Not to forget to mention that: This band ist phantastic! Look and listen what fun they all have e. g. from 33:10 to 35:00! Makes me smile broad to. I wished I could be there. (I live in Berlin/Germany)
Seeing Bruce at many stages in his career I can say this, when he used the Range he played most songs as they were recorded. When he did his solo and then the band's he put together he let his jazz influences and the art of improvisation take front stage. Not all of his songs are performed that way but it's just like a solo for a drummer or guitarist in a show. He takes requests left on the stage and sits thru them and plays certain ones his set lists vary. He played a song I requested which was an older less known song so I know he tries to play what people want but in a different style. Not a selfish prick, he is an artist. Do you tell a painter or sculpturist how to do their art? You will like it or not but that's what makes him who he is.
Yes...I get it. And while I respect it...there is a reason why the label and everyone got behind his work 1984-1989. The material was great. The range were a perfect band to play it,too. But I wish he would return to doing short pieces that dont focus on soloing. A Motif,ok. But if 50% of the song is a guy blowing..well....I am not in for that. I say this, being a guy that writes,records and plays professionally . I respect Bruce...but i also declne to come out when it's isnt that condensed perfection that he distilled for us back when. There are few that can take the World and put it in 3:30. Bruce can. I wish he would LIKE to do that again (sans drum machine would be fine).
Actually, now there are albums of a few of the 100s of live shows of Bruce & The Range on CZcams & Spotify- he was definitely mixing it up from early on, you know bits here & there in a show.
@@georgebarry8640 Don't think you do get it. BH & The Range weren't mega successful actually, apart from 1st album. 75% of Way It Is & Scenes From the Southside album recordings were Bruce alone so there was no band sound. He felt limited by The Range & didn't want to be a popstar. If you don't like his shows don't go/don't watch online, nobody's forcing you to.
@@georgebarry8640yes something to be said for this. But. At what point does an artist not give $hits about any of it? Like he doesn't have the bona fides? It's art. Shouldn't be limited. If mass audiences and Star Makers disapprove, ok.
Absolutely brother! I got to confess that when Bruce said that Tupac Shakur created this song? I felt totally ashamed and personally embarrassed of the view that I had for Tupac. I guess all of us are able to have our eyes opened and our conscience get a reality check no matter how old we are. I'm guilty of not being a fan of rap at all, but I just got a big reality check about the human creative process.
As a pianist myself all I can say ... what a pianist! Rich in influences from classical, jazz. Can I nominate Jacob's Ladder as an absolute stunner. How can he cover so much ground and just when I thought it would soon be over - a wonderful piano solo to conclude. Stunning.
I agree. BH can do AMAZING work. I wish he would re-attempt to put it in 3:30....thats a special gift to be able to that...ala Beatles, early Steely Dan. I wish he had the desire to do that.
@@georgebarry8640 He decided long ago who he wanted to be & has had to accept that being massively creative, innovative, always changing direction & being a total genius will not bring commercial success or popularity. He's the musician & singer he wants to be... can't make him be someone he doesn't want to be. He's got no nostalgia for The Range days or the songs, says he doesn't like the singer & 75% of first 2 albums were his demos + him on a drum machine. Best just to accept that... listen to The Range stuff but he's not going back. He's a brilliant one-off!
What a great performer Bruce is. His chops and timing are great. He really sets up all the other musicians. It's not hard to see why he and Jerry got along so well.
Yes, Sweence I agree he is a master.... He is more than pop. A great Jazz and classical musician too, plays some kind of country AND bluegrass. Played as a member (by invitation) with the Grateful Dead for several years and I was fortunate to see him then as well as a number of other times. Writes great stuff. One of the best ever.
I had connections with the Dead many years ago. I was slated to open in Phoenix for Garcia's band during my musician days. The Great Jerry died a few months later, August 9, 1995. I had the honor of seeing Bruce with the Dead in 1991. Hornsby was an earth-shattering addition to the Dead. He's an inspiring, life-loving, genuine guy. One of the best. It seems like a lifetime ago.
A few of the great Classics of pop musicians! Always on my favorite list ever I heard of his music from a cassette presented by my best Canadian friend ❤️❤️❤️
Lookout any Window - that is my Life s slogan since I meet Bruce Hornsby & the Range s Music a an young men ! Its melody from heavén for us all - for our soul ! Never arrive from others - i know what i say as a former ABBA Fan ....Bruce is the greatest for me . Forever.
We need Bruce and Weird Al to do a concert. The epicness of the event might lead to the formation of a warp in the space-time continuum that destroys the universe, but I'm willing to take the chance.
I'm German and I think I learned some time ago that this is not a sign for negative critics but in opposite for big tribute. The same thing you can hear at Bruce Springsteen concerts. So is it like kj inohio below said. Not "Boo!" but "Bruuuce!"
I truly miss this man on the charts. I say this only in fun. But when he hunches over the piano like that, he reminds me of Linus in The Peanuts cartoons hunching over that tiny grand piano of his. :)
Daryl Daryl you should invite Bruce Hornsby to your house have you ever thought of that I think that would be a really great idea would really love him
Wrong. First, Stevie Wonder does not have even close to Bruce's jazz chops. Second, he is not a better pianist than Billy Joel, Elton John, Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard to name a few.
Great concert. The musicians are usual players with Bruce (JV Collier-bass/ JT-Keyboards/ Bobby Read-sax/ Doug Derryberry-guitar) but the drummer is not. Looks like STEVE JORDAN but I'm not sure. Greetings from Portugal.
I love Bruce, but it's pretty obvious that the general public is losing track of what real great music is. Because Bruce is doing a concert in Orlando Florida in a couple months, and there still 30 tickets available in the back of the theater. And it doesn't even really look like there's much more than a thousand seats? I'm amazed that thing didn't sell out in like 30 minutes? I'm also amazed at how little people know about great music, or Bruce would still be playing 5000 seat arenas
Did Bruce really just say that Tupac Shakur was the one that wrote The Way It Is? Unbelievable, I honestly have to confess my dim view of what I thought about Tupac overall, I guess I am guilty of not being a fan of rap , but most of all I am guilty of not understanding that he was very creative in other ways

Great drummer!

I high-fived him after a show if that counts!
@@QFSAviation Absolutely... high five full credit, but fist bump... I'm afraid I could award half. Good work brother ✋

@@ethanschoof4953 watched it again and got it, cheers brother
Sort of get the impression this audience has no appreciation for the greatness they are beholding in these musicians!
Typical mainstream audience. They are SO missing out.
Props to them for staying and watching though. I think Kid Rock was on the other stage so they made a conscious choice to avoid that 😂
It is too deep. He makes you feel feelings other than adrenaline.
I'm sure many in the crowd were watching for a beach ball to come their way instead of paying attention to the magic onstage.

Horsnby is the best piano player in pop music! He's a master!
Sweence In all music! even his friend Elton John thinks so I agree man he's my favorite too
I do agree with that from South Korea.
best piano player ever
Bruce is poetry in motion, a pure musical genius!
bruce hornsby REALLY KNOWS HOW TO IMPROVISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....tremendous LIVE SOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The bass player is a monster!!
JV
@@melaniejarrett1495 who is the drummer?
JV Collier one of the best bass players I've seen in modern times!!
Victor Wooten would give him a run for his money
Yassssss!!
I will never grow tired, uninspired, or joyful listening and re-listening to his vocals and artistry.
👍 👍 Bruce Hornsby!
The crowd doesn’t even understand the majesty of what they’re witnessing.
I'd like to play a song for you by Mr Tupac Shakur. No dis to him. In his lane, he's top five.
BH is one of my favorite musician..his music is a combination of rock & jazz ,great pianist..👍
Saw him play with the Dead a few times in the '90s. AMAZING!!
Okay, watched it again, I didn't catch when Bruce quickly mentioned that Tupac "sang" his own personal rendition. Cheers to everyone who replied. ❤
Bruce Hornsby is the best!
What a great performer Bruce is. His chops and timing are great. He really sets up all the other musicians. It's not hard to see why he and Jerry got along so well.
At his best at 8:25. I love his "messing around on the piano!" This guy is so talented.
This part has a Keith Emerson tinge to it
Bruce and the band awesome! Your the MAN!
hornsby is incredible
Yes, Sweence I agree he is a master.... He is more than pop.
A great Jazz and classical musician too, plays some kind of country AND bluegrass.

What real great music this is!!!

The legend is here - Bruce Hornsby!
A dream musician with a dream career!

Love Bruce Hornsby’s music. Do super talented an so underrated
So
Lots of negative comments. To each his own. Check out the crowd scene at the 6:53 mark. Nothing negative about that.
thats my mom...
i was conceived at the blind melon set, still looking for my dad...
best thing ive ever seen. ever
Stander on the Mountain..... This must be the very very best live version....
Great music - thank you - he is so good!
Bruce is always fresh. Love it!

Its amazing bruce and the boys pulled off yhis show the way they did with the kind of crowd they were dealing with.
Love Bruce Hornsby. Great Artist.🤗💞🎸
Good,very good,excellent....
Bruce Hornsby humble themselves before his fans he loved and loved his fans
I never heard anybody tickle the ivory like this dude....scary
Good spoken! I fully agree.
Pure brilliance! Bang on talent!
Wow imagine playing the piano 🎹 before the audience hours and always I think that's so awesome
I can't imagine playing the piano I was and I was in front of fans awesome man incredible
25:39 Really cool how he recognized Tupac for taking the beat of his own song posthumously
what a great musician
FANTÁSTICO!
I like how he gave Tupac a shout out before he did -the way it is
Who knew the one and only Bruce Hornsby performed at Woodstock '99
And Dang, He owns the keyboard!!
How dare the crowd boo him. He rules.

Great talent,,great music,great artists,, sadly lost on this crowd i feel.
The way it is...but how does he do all this ? I have lost my head after this gig. Superbe !
Now I can talk about Steve Hornsby's music.Your heart will be touched.
Wouldn't it be so great to play w/ that band!! Dennis Stone drumming to Tango King by Bruce Hornsby. Get B33t UP . Da B33t Lab
wonderful songs
Look at that peacefull crowd...
West stage was more like traditional Woodstock and East stage was a big frat party
