Michael Hedges - Breakfast in the Field

[KingTabor]

what a trip!!! Music that humans will be digging by the year 2300 BC or so

[SounResinite]

This song was written

in outer space and carried

with it

an

otherworldly message

[UnknownHazard95]

Reminds me of my old farm out in Oregon. A beautiful masterpiece of music.

[worldwildwest]

Amazing how Much Tonal Hues he Pulls out this Earthy Instrument, Too bad he's Gone into a Better World.

[lynhazel1]

thank you so much for all the vids you have posted....i have loved michaels music since the first notes of aerial boundaries were played to me a long time ago...but to see these live clips is just an amazing and wonder full experience...a truly joyful thing that you have shared....

[whouston33wh]

It's very hard to paint a distinct picture as vivid as the image Michael saw in Oklahoma using music, especially just a solo guitar. This is just masterful, I feel as if I could see it all just as he did. This is what music is truly about. Transporting the soul

[rfsculero]

wtf man its just an acoustic guitar but he makes it sound like an instrument from an alien civilisation.

[straightupwv]

@rfsculero Stephen Stills called him the guitar player from another planet.

[hobbyoda]

GREAT

[Meeks861]

this music is soo powerful. Everytime i hear this song it puts me into a state of trance that is produced from this strong love that i have for this song. Amazing composer and an awsome man. It sux that i never got to see you live.

[lastcontinent]

I miss him...... ; ⊻ ;

[marineman1996]

[darkvesis]

[spiderrabbit3]

[LKennedy777]

Thank you Jimmy and Jeff ;)

[Teabonesteak]

[kcopen]

a great master who is truly missed

[DuskY1991]

Michael, you are my hero.

[moonpoki]

Un maestro por siempre....

[OmegasWill]

It was well over a year ago that I watched this video. This was the video that forever changed my musical direction and life. Never had I seen or heard anything like this. This is real music. What I was listening to before was a lie.

[treycourtandsyd]

Nice comment! I was lucky enough to stumble across Michael Hedges many many years ago.

[pinky0926]

I love the collective intake of breath from the audience at the end. I was holding mine too.

[CoNuNdRuMBoi]

I love this track so much I covered it at a show I played last weekend and posted it on youtube. HEDGES IS GOD!

[Cassie25AUS]

He sure is :)

[Learn2burn]

I am completely stunned...I can just see that field for my eyes, and feel it....and yet wish I was there, that time.

[jazzpsalti]

One of Michael's most intelligent compositions...

[landfill420]

i was drunk ok, sorry for your virgin eyes. I finally learned how to play this one. ill post it to prove it lol.

[landfill420]

you know it crackas

[JVonD]

that dudes out of control..

[headav]

just perfect

[landfill420]

i think the composition of "this" incredible artist is accually what "existence" would sound like through language of guitar channeled from it's master's eyes. a new found point of view or "reference'' of his surrounding environment. it's a "living" proof theres more out there that overproceeds our perception. I'll bet people on acid will trip out to where this will take there consciousness when listening to it.

just an oppinion. on mushrooms j/k

[benzy366]

One of his more "spacey" compositions

[CrazyEEEEEE]

Hey i helped this amazing composer carry his equipment in Philadelphia, and i am forever grateful for it !

[dieselboy64]

So beautiful and powerful! Amazing, deep artist. R.I.P. Michael.

[pinky0926]

Only Michael could have pulled this of. Any other arrtist would make this sound dishonest - Michael had that authenticity about his playing. Freedom from restraint.

[WallowingGrizzly]

[OmegasWill]

this song.. this video.. when i first saw this video, my world suddenly opened up. my musical opus formed. it change me from a simple guitar player to the artist i am today. i cant explain it.. this song changed my view about the acoustic guitar completely.. this performance changed my playing and attitude towards art.. its as if it unlocked some dormant art manifest i didnt know about.. i know i sound weird but how does one explain such a thing.. this video is amazing.this comment is 500 chars.

[andrewgorny]

[mrevilpants]

Didnt sound out of tune up until 3.40 to me!

[robcastellani]

Amazing. You can actually hear people in the audience gather their breath back once the piece ends.

[kurukula]

This song carries a message from another dimension - vast thanks

[mortislegion]
