i saw led zeppelin 4 time's and bruce cockburn 4 time's and understanding each artist helped me to understand the other. - go figure. yes,i went to my last zep' show in '77 - i was 18 yr's old. i went to see mr cockburn (1st time) just after the singer had return'd from nicragua ( .. likely didn't spell that right). i was flabbergasted listening to him recall the rocket launching's. (&) damn if he isn't a rocker. Jimmy Page should play such beautifull guitar's.
I can't believe it, but I can not remember the name of the album that he put out that sounded almost Asian. It had the line in it "stiff bamboo" . Does anyone remember the name of the album? I had it on cassette tape and now can't replace it because I'm a child of the 70's and can't remember anything, lol.......
To lichtarbeiter~ Just want to point out that this video (and hence the artist's style) are from nearly 20 YEARS AGO. For the time, the look was if anything, avant garde.. In fact i think one can safely say it still is. For example, the earrings. No man would dare wear that style now, let alone then. .. Incredible musician, fascinating man...
@Luchitch Saw Bruce in Tucson, AZ many years ago and got to meet him backstage. He said he wrote this song in Tucson years before that night. What a great man! And what a great song.
Thank you for posting this video. If not for you, I never would have this pleasure. I've seen Bruce in concert 5 times, but I don't recall him playing this live before.
Bruce is like no other. Figure skating is my favorite sport, and I've always choreographed routines in my head to Bruce's passionate music.
Mark O'Connor and Bruce Cockburn on the same stage. If anyone these days had any sense of value they would realize that they've just been blessed by the saint of music.
I'm so grateful to hear this song again. Helena, Montana in the early 90's, my daughter Julia, and emerging from a deadly depression all are called back with the chorus of this song.
Astute observation, senseEH ... hair truly is the revealer of integrity and depth ... I'm thinking Bruce should hire a better PR person to manage his honesty
I've loved Bruce for decades. Now that I've caught up with him on U Boob I have to ask him - 'How much for the hair cut man?!' Neil doesn't follow any trends. Love the messages but to live the part you gotta look the part.
Bruce is a person of passion who dares to seek and profess the truth. When you travel to Nicaragua, Guatemala, Mozambique, and Iraq to observe and recount the ravages of war, then and only then will you have any sort of credibility to resort to any sort of banality regarding hair style.
"Hair hair"...Yep. I've seen him perform twice. Even lived in his hometown for a few years. I hope Bruce will never give up the good fight. He looks folkier these days anyway. Psychology is a funny thing....especially mine..FUBAR.

Such a lovely song.
Not so big on the image though, at least from the neck up.
You can't deny that his side profile looks like that of a middle-aged lesbian. Change your glasses and lose the earrings, please. :S
