[Sandandthefoam]

OMG - is it really 3 years ago when I first heard this...??? How time flies. Only seems like yesterday when I learned of his passing (anniversary tomorrow - 16th Dec).Still missing Dan a whole lot.

[bigsquaw]

love this song, love Dan. Gone but not forgotten. Thanks for posting. I can still see him. He was one talented hot lookin man.

[thruster37]

Incredible. I LOVE Souvenirs.

[CSantoriello]

Wow. I can't believe I'm as old as I am and I first heard the song a few days ago at the home of friends - two sisters were singing it and harmonizing like angels. I had to search YouTube to hear it by the artist. I think this is now one of my favorite songs. So beautiful it gives me goose bumps

[darrenroskam]

Thank you Dan, and thanks for posting, dude

[bonzelite]

wow what a powerful song, song for half mountain

his talent is unearthly

[Imapeach1]

River..

[FOGELBERG56]

What can we say, it just does not get any better than this. Thank you so for posting it.

[iluvsantafe]

As always, another fab one from Donna.

Thanks, D.

[rnb91102]

Listened to What in the World with real pleasure.  Never heard that one before. Thanks!

[SmellUrHole]

Oh my my my...so magical.

[opheliasopus]

Dan Fogelberg was an artist at playing the guitar. He was one of a kind. His music brings back such good memories.

[asquare176]

Dan does wonders for my heart and mind! Was having a Daniel evening and haven't heard this in a while. If I could have one wish? It is to go back to this very moment and be at the foot of that stage,and be in presence of watching a spectacular moment,that would last for 30 years!

Donna, I still got the duplicate rocker that he is sitting in!

[glovemtb]

WOw again thanks.

[chuckd5usa]

Like to do you a Sly Stone song now. GOTTA LOVE THAT.

[sazzz8]

i can't find the words. Miss you,Dan.

[Sandandthefoam]

Delightful to hear Dan's young, rich voice - so full of range and depth. Love his humour and interaction with the audience. Would love to have "What in the World" as a track on a CD...

[crazy1689]

Beggar You rock!! Thank you so much for this it made my Sunday Night.

[SGMX7]

"Song from Half Mountain" is always fantastic. I can't hear it enough. Never heard "What in the World" before and thought it was great. Based on the timeline, the "next album" he alludes to would have been Nether Lands. I wonder what happened.  It's a shame to have kept this one a secret. Thanks for posting for all us grieving Dan Fans.

[LAcruisin45]

I think Dan's vocals on the live version far surpass the album. This is truly an AWESOME addition to the archives. No overdubs, no cleanups; just the voice of a captured angel!

Interesting that the opening chords of the second song sound like the same ones he uses in Wysteria.

[racheljlc]

One of the few artists better live than on record-saw this at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley and Paolo Soleri in Santa Fe, I cherish those memories..thanks

[soularchitect]

I still think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written... thank you, Dan, wherever you are... for leaving this for us in a bottle.

[TheLastNail]

This is at age 23...I understand that genius often peaks at 23. That he was capable of music like this at that age is still as hard to believe as his making the passage so soon.

[lvsiii]

Beautiful and poetic. Capturing, as Dan often does, the passage. Song From Half Mountain is one of Dan's underrated masterpieces.

[ilovedgf]

Wondering what he did in between songs that made everyone laugh and cheer?????? Anyone know?

[thejman31]

shame there aren't more artists like this!!

[cdag02]

God I miss him. I still can't believe he is gone. Sometimes it seems that people with such talent will live forever. He was always on my "record player" in the 70's. He made me feel really good. His music was heartfelt, and filled with goodness. You could feel his emotion in the music.

[LlanoEscatado]

This is what everyone loved about his solo shows. Just delicious guitar work. No one picks like him. And yes, nice to hear his young voice too. Classic Dan.

[parisnocturne]

Thank you beggarsgame for posting such wonderful memories for us Dan Fans! I've never heard "What in the World" before. I think it's both incredible and sad at how much of Dan's music is being offered to us after his death. I appreciate what you've done with all of the music posts that you've put together.  Just another way to keep Dan's music and his memory alive. Let it shine!

[TheLastNail]

Thanks again so much. Truly a beloved song. How unique a talent, and how much fun for the crowd. I agree there is an incredible difference and feeling to hearing live. Remarkable that his perfect pitch is maintained outside the studio--Thanks again Donna, you're truly a captured angel on the lam...

[caseyk928]

Thanks so much for this!! I love when Dan talks with the audience!!! He was so young, so funny!! Definitely made me laugh and cry to think this supertalented guy was taken way too soon. Long live Dan's music and to all his devoted fans.

[sedonacar]

Thank you beggarsgame! Thank you a zillion times for sharing all this priceless live music with us.

[BrokenArrow1967]

THANK YOU !! THIS IS AWESOME!!!

[writingtome]

Thank you again for posting this video. It's good for my heart and soul.

[headcaseworker]

Love this song. Dan's voice still reaches to one's soul. His talent is timeless. I miss him.

[asquare176]

You put out another great post! The recording of this is awesome! Jack Daniels is not my favorite, but for you Dan, I would do a shot and I salute you. You are the best!

[pfrick57]

This is truly a gem - I just listened to Souvenirs, but to hear the song live really makes a difference. I can so much more feel the song today than at the time I first heard it. Truly beautiful - Thank you!

[becster1964]

Hey D, I second the comment on the pics, brilliant idea. I love the Jack Daniels comments..Dan himself also did wonders for the heart and mind, for many many of us. You're a gem D...thanks.

[chuckd5usa]

I really like what you have done with the photo above.

[beggarsgame]

Not that many photos of Dan and I thought it would be fitting (young/older Dan) to the song lyrics - Now my soul is young

In a moment it will be aging

[billp1955]

AMAZING!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!

Don't believe What in the World made an LP...The quality of this live recording was incredible. Dan's voice at this time in his life was awe inspiring....
