Dan Fogelberg - There's A Place In The World For A Gambler

[vintagegarden]

Let it shine Dan...RIP. Missing You...

[airdriver]

I first heard this song in the movie "FM". It was the part where one of the DJ's decided to give up the job and lifestyle of the entertainment industry. I ran out and bought the soundtrack. In my opinion its one of Dan's best songs.

[aaltjeliefke52]

all his songs are so beautiful...i feel ashamed that I discovered Dan after his death.. what can I say.. he is a star now.. (together with so many other "stars" ..) it must be loving and beautiful in heaven...

[Danuta1929]

I can listen to Dan's music until the end of time............

[trugritt]

great song Dan. You are great forever

[TheNexabalus]

Easily one of the most influential songs of my life

[rockinroller7]

It may be one of the most understated cliche's of all time, but the world lost more than a man and a musician when Dan left us.

I miss him still, as much as I did the day I learned of his death, and his music keeps pulling me back.

Peace.

Rock

[HiVybe]

...shine, shine, shine on and on and on. Dan's music obliterates the shadows. We who are listening will all see you in the afterglow of this life...

[ceresmary206]

Gave me chills, goosebumps and tears. I got Souveniers album back in 1978. I loved it so much, I wore it out, then cassette and CD's . He was a deeply spiritual person. I feel so honored that you put this on Youtube...Can someone do "Passage"? I am posting these on FB for people to learn about him and his music. Thanks everyone for your posting.

@ceresmary206 I lucked into this album last year!

August 13th.! I love this song!!*****!!

[GeorgeStrait99]

@ceresmary206 I love his music, just discovered it a few days ago!

[zapkvr]

The first time I heard this was on the movie FM. I had to buy the soundtrack on the strength of it. The movie was great and made better by the music.

[luvdemheels]

Arguably the greatest ballad ever written along with Last Resort by the Eagles. To this day tears stream down my cheeks listening to this masterpiece by one the most beautiful male voices of my generation. Not ANYONE today can compare. Dan and Gino Vanelli are my inspirations. R.I.P. Dan. you will forever bring a tear to our eyes and a smile to our hearts.

[jerum1]

I was at this concert....so many years ago. This video brings tears to my eyes still today. We were all lucky to have him.

[jllpn77]

This song has been an inspiration to me for over 30 years and still is now. I am so sorry he's gone. He is truly is the most gifted artist I have ever known. He will be mised.

[jflinn210]

This song says oh, so much, with such minimal lyrics, limited chords, unwavering tempo and beat -- but yet it soars, it lifts and it ... is probably (along with 'Last Nail') represents Dan's most heartfelt song.

I love this song. it's so rich -- when I saw him in 1977, he closed with this song, and the parking lot was like a choir of "Let It Shine, oh Let it Shine" for a half-hour after the show.

I'm sorry we lost such a brilliant artist, but I am THRILLED to have been able to experience it.

[yesdedhed]

like a dead show when not fade away is played

[jstraw4]

Indeed! And we know our love for Dan will not fade away!

[Rooooob1]

In the next life,,,,,

[CpMorgan36]

I just let this play over and over, can't say enough good things about this performance! I saw him near Indianapolis on this tour and it was also his birthday during our Indiana State Fair that year.... I was working at the fair, but slipped away to the concert nearby at Deer Creek....I was not sitting close enough to suit me but I had binoculars! Let It Shine, Dan, Oh, Let It Shine!!!!

[jstraw4]

I just re-purchased Homefree, Souvenirs and Captured Angel...and have rediscovered the brilliance and the angelic beauty of Dan Fogelberg.  This is a gorgeous rendering of an enduring gem.

[DungeonMaster68]

1976 in MD with the Eagles, Rondstadt, and others - this was the last song they all sang together. I can still hear it today. God Bless you Dan.

[dramaHAPPENS]

Saw him open for the Eagles at the Shrine on New Years Eve, mid 70s (75 or 76, I think). His band included Al Perkins, Russ Kunkel, Paul Harris and Joe Walsh. Amazing. Bluegrass, then rockin'-As the Raven Flies! Great Show. Linda w/ Eagles doing Desperado, Take It Easy finale with Jackson, Joe, Fogelberg, etc.

Thanks for posting this.

[teach4deb]

Wow - what a great concert that must have been! How lucky you were to have been there

[murago59]

I still cry at the beauty and honesty of this classic Dan Fogelberg song. What an incredible songwriter and performer. I got to see him twice in the 80's and I truly enjoyed both concerts. What a wonderful performer.

[musemichelle]

Beautiful song man. Dan's Great. Notice how no one has anything bad to say.

[SoothesMySoul]

musemichelle (in case this doesn't post as a reply which sometimes happens) -- Isn't it wonderful that no one has anything bad to say about Dan Fogelberg?

A musician unsurpassed in my opinion. A song that brings tears to my eyes remembering listening to this in the '70s on his first album. He will live on in my heart and soul, and many others, through the beautiful music he created and shared with us forever.

[CpMorgan36]

musicmichelle AND SoothesMySoul: ...Ditto!...

[jstraw4]

The song is brilliant in its simplicity. The singer lives on.

[jjjflott]

One of the best Singer/Songwriters of all time.

[ontheshores]

Thank you so much for sharing this video! I had the pleasure of seeing Dan live in concert quite a few years ago, but he didn't perform this song {one of my absolute fav's by him}!

The heaven's have surely gained another wonderful choir member. So sad he had to leave us so soon though. :-(

[lilackine]

When did this man who so enriched my life die and from what? Please?

[chrisnieto166]

Dan passed away almost exactly a year ago , DECEMBER 16 2007. He succumbed to prostate cancer.

[lilackine]

Damned Cancers. They want to live in our body and taste the sweet life, so Dan left them to play with the angels that taught him so long and so well

Singing to all of us:

I'm still in ol Heavenly

Wishing you'd come home to me

[nursekare]

Dan Fogelberg was the epitomy of the American singer/songwriter. His music is an inspiration to all those who admire his art. He had the voice of a angel and that coupled with his incomparable lyrical style made for some of the best music this country has to offer.

The US lost one of it's greatest underrated talents the day that Dan Fogleberg graced the heavens with his breathtakingly beautiful songs of hope, love, & peace.

Thank you, Dan, for allowing us to share your love of life.

[veelighted7]

what a song!!!

What a heart. He has a heart of gold. Eyes of a great eagle..

[cvte2]

love love love this song! Thanks for posting this for us!

Miss you Dan and thank you for sharing your talent with us. Your legacy lives on!

from a fan

[RileysGirl]

Sure miss you Dan

[theozman1]

This is my favorite song off the "Souvenirs" album which was a classic. It is so sad he died so young. Older guys like me, get checked, especially if you're over 50.

[Rockitinmypocket]

Dan,

You share a birthday 8/13, with my oldest brother.

Just something else, thankfully, that can help me, remember you.

And yes, this is "Beautiful."

(Also, the 13th of August can bee seen circled on a calendar, on the album, "Souvenirs")

Thanks.

[MidnightMary]

Aug. 13th

Happy Birthday Dan. You are so missed.

[Sandshark710]

Thanks for the vid!

What a fantastic person Dan was -- inside and out. Miss him so much!

[asquare176]

Tribute concert in Sellersville,PA,August 13th at the Sellersville Theatre. Celebrate the life of Dan's on what would been his 57th birthday.The concert benefits the Prostate Cancer Foundation. Living Legacy website has all details or go to the theatre website also.

[MidnightMary]

I was there!

The tribute was very emotional. I was so moved when the band and packed house sang Happy Birthday to Dan.

Great concert by all band members. Standing ovation!!!

[asquare176]

Part one:I was there also. I was in row F and dead center. What a place to see concerts! Such a intimate place. I agree with the Happy Birthday to Dan and of course the singing of Gambler. The most emotional part of the night was Jim Photoglo. When he walked away from the mike,at the beginning of The Reach I was in tears from there on.I stuck around and spoke with all of the performers and got some hugs in too. How about those Refugees? Cindy Bullens is one wild woman on stage?

[spradalester]

I can't believe it's been 7 months since he's passed..Almost every night since I was listening/searching for everything of his on here and constantly playing his cd's - I had to stop.. Like any true Dan fan his music touched me like no other and no matter where I am/or what I'm doing if I hear one of his songs it instantly takes me back 25 years to my college days and relationship memories.. We were so blessed to have him and his music in our lifetime.. rest in peace!

[savszy]

Great memories!!!

[bluestriker4444]

I was lucky enough to be at this concert in St.Louis many years ago,and the memories of that night and his music has always been with me...his music moved me like no other artist.

[headcaseworker]

Thank you fogelbergvideos for this fantastic posting from the most fantastic artist I've ever heard! Lord, I miss him!

[clamdraggin]

to FOGELBERGVIDEOS: THANK YOU for posting!

These vids that people like you take the time and effort to post..both bring back some powerful memories and stir the raw emotions associated with those memories. I have read that the sense of smell triggers the most powerful memories. For me...its music. Thanks again.

[rattlebonesmusic]

God love the man...... truly missed.

[thatsjustgr8]

Thank you so much for posting this, I don't have his CD's or DVD's (ex got custody of most of the music)

So thank you for posting all you have:)

[asquare176]

When I was divorced the first time, Dan came with me. Just a few albums at that time, Innocent Age wasn't produced yet.Go to the Barnes and Noble website,they have some of the best prices for his music.I am still trying to get Captured Angel on CD. Have three copies on vinyl, two are mint, and one on cassette.I am wearing out the tape.You can buy this DVD through Amazon, for around $10.00

[asquare176]

Watched this today on the DVD, Greetings From the West. I couldn't stop crying. Life goes by in a blink. That was 17 years ago. It just seems like yesterday, wish it was. He still be with us. His smile at the end really shows his sweetness and humbleness. Dan you showed loved and recieved love back.Miss you.

[headcaseworker]

I don't know why this chokes me up also, but it's been a long 4 months without him. I love the DVD. I love this song. I love the MAN!!

Thank God for his music. He is amazing.

[dakanne]

One of my all time concert moments back in the late 70's at Ford Theater in Detroit. I'll never forget 3,000 people (small venue) all singing the chorus at full volume. It still gives me chills to think about it.

[spradalester]

Great video!! didn't realize how vibrant he was in concert- unfortunately never got to see him so I truly appreciate seeing the live video's. Love!! Love this song!! a classic like so many of his are..

[hihope7]

wow! thanks for posting that one.

[N1SwtWorld]

This is the last song he played when I saw him in 2003 in Kettering, OH, and it just so happens to be my favorite. It really felt like a day where fate was appearing in my life, because I've always loved his music and had wished to see him in concert but never thought I was going to get the chance to. I heard an ad on the radio while passing through Dayton, OH and drove all the way back down two days later from Toledo. Little did I know he would be dead 5 years later.

[fantail321]

I love this video!! I think this is a brilliant performance and song. Wish I could have been in that audience!

[musicatto]

This was great, wish there were more of this song posted, or more live videos for purchase

I have a live soundboard audio and this song was the best on it, far better than this video

it is Dan solo from Kemper Arena in Kansas City MO 1983

[vintagegarden]

Love it!  Let it shine!

Missing you Dan!

[rreary]

Since 1974 this has been my favorite! RIP Dan

[jflinn2005]

This is one of the songs we played at my younger brother's funeral in 1980; this and "Love Is The Answer" by Todd Rundgren.

Fogelberg and Rundgren -- gifted masters in the lost art of creating truly genuine music. Truly sad with Dan gone; I grew up with Dan, he fashioned an enormous chunk of my teens, in the '70s.

Strange: I never could have imagined there'd be a day when Dan wouldn't be here, creating more music. Love you, Dan.

[asquare176]

I agree with you on Todd Rundgren. I am a huge Fogelberg fan and also love Todd Rundgren. Saw Dan twice, last time in 2002 and saw Todd in the late 70's. Very different in styles, but knew how to pull on the heart strings of their listener.

[scrapper9474]

ahhh... what great memories. Makes my heart hurt.
