Dan Fogelberg - Beggars Game / Paris Nocturne (Live 1983)

[HarpDog1955]

December 18, 1983...I just realized that I was at that concert. As I remember, his band and equipment got caught in a blizzard, and he alone, with a couple of guitars and a piano was brilliant without any help from anyone but the crowd. Posthumously he is STILL brilliant!

beautiful!

Beggars Game...my favorite Dan Fogelberg song and Romeo and Juliet, my favorite movie. Beautiful. Thank you.

[SnootsDwagon]

Well done on this. An excellent blending of two classics. No matter how many times it is done, Romeo and Juliet remains timeless, and never fails to bring a tear if properly performed.  Fogelberg's music to this was a perfect match.

I should add that Paris Nocturne is firmly in my memory. As a child, dad would play his casette tape in the car, and for years, I couldn't remember this song. I remembered the first five notes or so, but couldn't remember further until a couple years ago.. ^^; Anyway, Dan Fogelburg was an amazing musician, too bad he's not with us anymore.

I fell in love with "Beggar's Game" when I first listened to the LP, which I found in a second hand store. I was like, Dammit, I wish I could find this on the web, and now I have. :D

Great Recording! Dan's voice is strong,solid and of course awesome. Beautiful song to go with Romeo and Juliet. Olivia Hussey is so beautiful and Leonard Whiting is so handsome. Great pairing for the movie. Dan would had given you thumbs up for this! Thank you Margaret(Dan's mom) for making Dan take piano lessons.

beggarsgame I agree, DanFans are the GREATEST! And I do admit I am a hopless romantic. Dan's music and legacy will live forever. Great video, THANKS.

[becster1964]

All I can add is AWESOME!! I have so many memories of this movie, and of course it's the perfect songs to accompany it. You really outdid yourself Donna. And Dan playing Paris Nocturne really knocks me out. His gifts will never ever cease to amaze and astound me. Hugs to all out there. BB in FL.

Another Gem, Donna. "Love, Beauty, Romance: these are the things stay alive for..." So many DF songs about the frequent tragedy of love, and this the grandest of all.

[beggarsgame]

You and Greg are such "Hopeless Romantics" I KNEW IT :) Of course, all of us DanFans are whether we want to admit it or not. The Phoenix will rise to the vibrations of the many. DanFans are the GREATEST!
