Live - Greetings From The West

This is a super rockshow put on by one of the most talented popular artists of our time. As others have mentioned the only shame is the early ‘90s video quality is just not up to the standards of today. It would be great if the video could be remastered someday and upconverted. But this is for the music.Dan Fogelberg shines brightly along with help from his talented band and plays much of his popular catalogue. He speaks throughout the program in segments of interviews that provide insight into his life and music. Songs range from intimate to rocking out and Dan really shows his guitar chops on a couple of selections.For any number of reasons, I never managed to see Dan perform live, and this show really fills that space for me. You won’t be sorry to add it to your collection.

I just bought this again. I got the first one before Dan's passing. My wife and I drove 21 hours, from Canyon City Colorado, on our honeymoon in June 1977 to see Dan and Fool's Gold at the Music Hall in Houston. Since then we saw him six times, including his last concert in Houston, before his illness. This DVD may not be a Bluray, or an audio lover's dream, but it is the only full concert that we have to remember what a tremendous talent he was. If you are just discovering this, then you may not be aware of the posthumous release of his final album, Love In Time, which is also a must have. Dan played all the instruments, and left instructions with with his wife to release the album after he was gone. Let me just say how much Dan's music has meant to me, and my beautiful wife, of almost 37 years. So many memories of our favorite artist. You should not be afraid to spend 10 dollars to have a look back on what we can never see live again. I loaned my original copy to a friend, to whom I told to keep it. That person, and his wife saw him with us 3 times, and they love it as well.

If I could only turn back time, I would have gone to see Dan perform live when I had the chance, rather than pass it up because there was no one to accompany me. So this DVD is a pale substitute for a golden opportunity gone forever. But thank goodness we have it.I hope others do not let the (admittedly poor) video quality dissuade them from grabbing this treasure. The sound quality is fine, and there are wonderful moments of musicianship on every song....in particular, the fantastic bluesy "Road Beneath My Wheels". It makes me crave a whole album of Dan, unplugged, serving up Delta blues.At first glance, I too was pining for more of Dan's hidden treasure masterpieces. But throughout the course of the DVD I gained a true appreciation for the overplayed radio hits by seeing them through his eyes and understanding his creative motivation. From now on, "Leader of the Band" will bring a tear. Only "Lonely in Love" still left me lukewarm when I know the artistry he can create.Bottom line, you will come away from watching this with a bittersweet pang in your heart, but feeling that you have gotten to really know a man with a beautiful spirit, and a rare gift of creating some of the most poetic music I have ever enjoyed.

I never went to see Dan Fogelberg perform in concert. I love his music but I just didn't think it was something that would make for a good concert experience. BOY WAS I WRONG and now really regret never going to see him perform live after watching this DVD. Sure the sound and and video quality could be better but the concert itself is incredible. It shows how talented Dan was and it was great to see him and Tim Weisburg jam together on Power of Gold.It's about time Dan's musical legacy was recognized by The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

Great concert and the extras.

Yes, both the sound and picture quality could be and should be better, but if you are a fan this is the only concert footage of Dan Fogelberg currently in release. The concert itself is first-rate, the only complaint is that it looks like a direct VHS to DVD transfer. Fogelberg deserves a better legacy, and I hope that in the future it will be remastered and a fitting tribute presented.An accomplished musician, Fogelberg switches between keyboards, acoustic guitar, electric guitar and bottle-neck slide guitar. I so regret never seeing him perform in person, but at least this DVD preserves a live performance so I can see what I missed. It is bittersweet to watch the DVD but it is also a meaningful reminder of a man we thought we knew because his music mirrored our experiences. He will be missed.

I cried when Dan died. We didn't know he was sick, just like Glenn Frey. He was one of a kind. This video has most of his best songs, not all. The best part is his short stories about some of the songs. Having seen him in concert, I expected that (since that's how he rolls). But, the video has different stories than ones I heard live. This is a VERY good buy.

I thought twice about buying this because of negative comments on the technical issues and how Sony didn't live up to expectations. Well, I'm glad I ignored that and what I gained seeing Dan in concert far outweighed any of those things. The man had an astonishing range of talent, which I was unaware of until I watched the video. His vocal range is exceptional in my opinion, as well as his guitar playing. When he sings the blues, I had goosebumps. It was also wonderful to hear him give some background to the music, especially to Leader of the Band which is a tribute to his father. The man was clearly a hugely talented and sensitive individual. I only wish I'd had the oportunity to see him in concert while he was still here. We've lost another good one folks, so get the concert on DVD and see for yourself!

ein tolles live album bitte reinhören

Super concert d’un artiste unique en son genre et décédé trop jeune et très méconnu en France et ailleurs.j’adore ce chanteur

I have always loved Dan Fogelberg.........his lyrics & music are magical.

Magnífico concierto de Dan Fogelberg. Gran interprete, gran músico y compositor. Uno de los más grandes de la historia. Vivirá siempre a través de sus canciones.
