wondering where the lions are, michael hedges, bruce cockburn cover

[mcgigglish]

looks like drop D tuning, but that harmonic chord at the end says not.

lovely

[schuey999]

He had super-human skills even at this young age.

[isolani]

I've always like this particular song. Had the album Dancin' in the Dragon's Jaws as a lad.

[deweypug]

Wow! Such a good cover!

[casacooper]

this is beautifully done. Loved this song since it was first released in the US.

So glad to see - and hear- that others like it too.

[vernellecheeseman]

Dang, bro!!! GREAT JOB!!

[squaninlet]

Pure clean...miss you Micheal!

[cocochanelleke]

lovable version, true to the author, thanks for sharing!

[beazzl]

Im with 'mIXsaz', I'd love the tabs for this particular perfomance.. so amazing!

[mIXsaz]

If anyone who stumbles upon this video, has exact tabs (or at least tuning) for this exact version of song, please, please, let me know :))) I too want to be happy playing this piece

[jazzpsalti]

@mIXsaz To be honest, it sounds/looks like he's doing it note-for-note like Bruce, except he's doing that funky thumb rest stroke thing that he always does, in the verse.

[mIXsaz]

@jazzpsalti Recently i watched few videos of Bruce... Y, it seems he has at least the same tuning. But few chords are definitelly the same. Well, anyhow, if the tuning is same, it shouldnt be too hard to figure tabs out. Gonna try :D

[speakwhnspkn2]

Wonderful. What a talent Michael Hedges was. Another great gone too soon. Fortunately we have youtube to see his performances.

[MrNation1234]

Better than bruce's version:D

[marvg47]

Wow!

[rlutge]

cool!

[togue777]

Having just seen Bruce Cockburn in concert in Boston I decided to learn this song. So I went to Youtube to research and I stumble upon the Master playing the song in his youthfull days. I dont believe these people walking by had any idea who they were listening to. A wonderful version and clip.

[rlutge]

that's great.

[k2snowzilla]

Not only do I really like Michael Hedges, but I really like all the great comments he gets on here! I feel I like all his fans, and I like being one!

[willibr]

This is a wonderful video! Could you please put more detail in your upload notes, like the date and the venue? Thank you!

[insertwatersounds]

This cover is amazing! Makes me so happy to watch him.

[gythiyanki]

Feelin' Lucky, its my favorite guitarist covering my favorite guitarist does it get any better!!

[tourist54]

@gythiyanki as a guitar player I cannot agree more !!!!! God blessed mankind giving those musicians for full enjoyment and growth .. cheers !

[wrathVchild]

omfg omfg omfg...ahhhh...this is insane! dude dude dude, can i have a copy of this PLEASE?

Thank you so much for posting this. It's so amazing to see video like this...wow wow wow!

[emichels]

@wrathVchild

I could not agree more.

[rlutge]

i heard the cockburn version the other day. it's great, but it's much more produced. michael's is the first version i came to know, and i love the simplicity, and of course, the beautiful guitar playing.

@jazz, what's the second tune?

[jazzpsalti]

@rlutge sorry for the late response, the second video I show people is almost always the Kent performance of Aerial Boundaries on Type3's channel. It's just about my favorite performance of his, from a technical standpoint

[jazzpsalti]

@rlutge haha, I usually don't have to show them a second tune, they're usually flying all over your channel LOL. But this Bruce classic reinterpreted by Michael is a great place to start, because I expect every direction you go from here in the world of Michael there will be surprises :)

[ZOMBIELANDakaUSA]

@jazzpsalti

now if that isn't a great point...right on

what a surprise to come for those who aren't aware of this mans colossal art...genius is the overwhelming term

[06mets]

@rlutge Oh, if only Michael and Bruce could have made music together! Michael has such a unique style and Bruce has such a way with words...if only...

[jazzpsalti]

this is now the first video I show anyone who hasn't heard Michael Hedges.

[Fusionartist202]

I've never heard this song, Simply Delightful!

[Onoroian]

Amazing ,thanks so much for posting this!

[dadiosw]

I listen to his music now and again and of course he is a stellar musician but this captures what a charming, engaging performer he was as well.

[JanBlazicek]

666 views...I don't get it. Not that that number isn't interesting itself, but this should be in top 100. Even something as dumb as Lady Gaga has more views (Well, she has usually more than Beatles for that matter.). These are strange times.

[BrokenArrow1967]

SWEET!!!!!!!!

[jazzpsalti]

I knew this would be so hard to watch... thank you so much for this joy of a video

[dannix87]

Very surprised to find live footage of michael performing this song. much appreciated

[SRVinCI]

wow this is unbelievable classic michael hedges - thanks!

[GuitarStudentsAtUWM]

Randy, my girlfriend and I have always loved Michael's cover of this tune, didn't think I'd ever see video of it. Thanks so much

[benstewarthelm]

thanks rlutge, love this one!!!
