More on Fogelberg

So I was reading on some Dan Fogelberg tribute sites that PBS was going to re-air some of his Soundstage gig. I went trolling and found it, hit the DVR and finally got to see it...amazing stuff. His concert was from 2004ish and it was immediately prior to getting his diagnosis.

Opened with Part of the Plan, did some new stuff, lots of greatest hits and the band was really amazing...and I heard Power of Gold with new ears...I got the idea of introducing it to the band...the message is so right on that it qualifies as "spiritual" in a lot of ways...either way, I really was impressed with his arrangement.

His right hand is practically a metronome! What a great sense of timing he has. One of other thing that struck me was his reverance to Leader of the Band which was of course written for his Dad. But he said that out of all of the songs he has written, if he had only been permitted to write one, that would be it....

You are missed, Dan...RIP and I hope we get to jam someday on the other side.
