Nils Lofgren - Shine Silently

[mikesakhalin]

Top man our Nils!! Thanks for posting!!

[anitavassar1]

an incredibly gifted artist. only the best to you Nils, and all you love.

[HippieJimi]

I wanted to name my son Nils......but the Mrs. said no way.....

So we named him after the lead singer of the Zombies....Colin....

[Kenentigern7]

One of Americas largely overlooked sons. Bought I Came To Dance album many moons ago in the 70's and never understood why he and his brother never got the the big deal. Suppose playing with the Boss is compensation in minor chords?

Fot a Nog he's a Northern Star. (I'm Scottish)

[SuzzyStohelit]

I was just about to Google lyrics. I would add some of the lyrics, they are so beautiful as part of a tribute for my late son Zachs , anyone who wants to send music or bits of lyrics or uplifting music .. we thank you

[LuvdarksideRI]

I love the lyrics of such a humble and talented singer! I am a new but fond follower of Nils!

[tippryan]

[tippryan]

[Nancyjean24]

[Stewiebender1818]

[pitboard]

[Nordwestmecklenburge]

After your concert in Kiel/Germany i have had the best sex ever...with a modell... it dosnt mention that the girl thinks of your voice during ouer sex... THANK YOU!

[RandallJonesey]

Anybody knows if Lofgren is the writer of this song? It's fantastic; had the album in the vinyl days.

[Kubisa94]

written by Nils Lofgren. great song

[RandallJonesey]

Thanks for the info! Lofgren wrote some very fine stuff in the 70's! This is the man peaking in my opinion.

[bryanledsters]

nils you rock, this was our first song at our wedding reception,thats how much it meens to us.hpe you are moving easier now working on them flips again.thanks once again for your part in 13 and counting years of wedded bliss

[theicecreamboys]

AMAZING BEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Morlok64]

Is there no video from "CRY TOUGH " ?

[cooperman1955]

Awesome playing from Nils. I hate chatterers at gigs, those people trying to have a converstion in the background (5-6 mins in). Like, who cares what you have to say - Shuddup & listen, or go outside for a chat!!

[Morlok64]

Very nice song but I miss the song "Share a little "

[monkeyguitarist]

I don't mind paying 200 bucks for a Nils Lofgren concert.

[iainproclaimer]

come and see nick cave n bad seeds next week n edinburgh and u will see a concert.

[bendufus]

Please come and play in New Zealand. I just love this song, it makes me cry its so emotional and Nils puts his heart into it. Thank you.

[mattyharrison93]

They just don't write em' like this anymore..

[youreadyfreddie]

Check it out! It's Skunk Baxter . . . and Tommy Lofgren . . . and Nils' other brother . . . Great guys.  Great gig.

[VeniVidi]

Marvellous

[openmanhole]

Late 80's in NH..he had just joined Springsteen(many there just to see if Bruce would show).. Nils in a Celtics' McHale jersey.. an awesome show!! One of my favorite songs.

[glastonbury1969]

Just AWESOME!!! Enough Said..... Many thanks

[terpsez11]

I saw Nils for the 1st time in 1970-71 at the Wheaton Youth Center ..this little guy on a tramp..The very first album played every semester I set up my stereo in the dorm was side one of Grin 1+1..was absolutely floored when he joined E-Street..and I've actually had 2 conversations w/ him..he's a regular guy and a great rocker..this is from the heart

thanks to whoever submitted these awesome memories

[SirRoastalot]

Hey terpsez11 - I'm a 21 y.o. Aussie, and I've just tuned in to Nils. I envy you! I'm trying to get my band (we do covers around the uni scene in Adelaide) to do Back it Up! and No Mercy - but they're not into it. By the way, what other cool stuff is an old codger like you into?

[scottishy]

Watch this space, back catalogue of Nils coming soon, and no not shitty bootlegs. In negotiation with records label. Anyone who bootlegs can add themselves to the list of twats that have ruined the music business

[FeesLess]

Thx for this amazing song, so beautiful....

[Dukabor]

that's his brother Tom playing guitar

[trowen]

And his other brother Mike on guitar.

[Dukabor]

Nils is unbelievable...this song in memory of my wife...who died why too young at 42...but we saw Nils at the Train Station in Wilkes-Barre...she became a big Nils fan that night.. :-)

[groover1958]

Willbo wants you back asap.

[applecrossjph]

Having stumbled across the other version of Nils and friends, which was great, have sat up into the early hours listening to this fantastic version. Glad that it's not only touched me but has touched others so deeply. He seems so under-utilised by Bruce, so can't wait to see him on his own, next time.

[SardonicStarfish]

This is like Mark Knopfler with charisma...

[Dukabor]

find "Night After Night" ....a double album Nils did in the 70's...it's friggin awesome...from "Take You to the Movies" to "Keith Don't Go"...excellent...

[DOWDLE]

If NILS ain't the Coolest,...there's something wrong with Rock + Roll.......Jimi

[lindapersaud]

Hey whoevers complaining about the sound quality you can now order the complete professionally filmed Nils Lofgren Tribute Concert on DVD, including Grin Reunion and loads of extras. Sound quality is fine, the guitar playing is truly awesome. Go to Nils' website to order, its only $20, all proceeds to charity

Elisabeth I don't think you'll find Night Fades Away on CD, I gave up and bought a record deck for my Nils vinyl, cos I can't stand living with an Empty Heart!

[elisabethbette]

And I am looking for an album on CD which I cannot find. "Night Fades Away". Have search for many years..have it on an LP ..but have nothing to play it on. I am in tears.

[0liverdog]

I have this on a Video from the BBC 1982 - I'll find a way to upload it. Keep looking.

[bonkabill]

I love his music! But I have a question I was wondering if anyone can answer. I really wanna see when he preformed with ringo starrs all star band in 1989 in Montreux. When he playd Shining Siently and walking nerve. But I can't find that concert on dvd. and I don't think the vhs can be playd on norwegian vcr's because it's not the same region. Is there posible to get a dvd or find it on the internett?

[pheierle]

Ringo was in montreux in 1992 (and not in 1989). I was on the show with my girlfriend. On the next day, we saw the eagles-guitarist joe walsh in a souvenir shop. He bought a so called "Alphorn" and did pay it with his credit-card. The dvd of that show is very rare. But there's also a mucic-cd.

[elisabethbette]

Well, as said some place else...I don't want to argue..and no offence I have heard excellent sound from an outside event. Is it not allowed to voice one's opinion here?

[mcfun61]

I used to see him at the "psychadeli"? in Bethesada in the 70's, hammerjacks in the 80's and now at Rams Head. Ive never seen him give less than 100%. Always a great show.

[elisabethbette]

Bad sound, he is one of the most gifted guitarists in the world...and then it sounds like this?

[jackynjimy]

What did you expect from an inexpensive camcorder recording in the crowd at an outside event?

[eyeqew]

Mythbuster's Jamie Hyman on pedal steel!

[herrturbojohn]

He is my relative!!

[elisabethbette]

I have loved his music since ...well 20 years ago.

[jackynjimy]

I can't wait for the official video. It looked they shot from good angles, although I don't remember seeing any roving video taken from around the stage for close-ups.

I recently purchased Nil's DVD of an acoustic show(s) at the Birchmere. I was at the Saturday night show. It is great, and I would recommend it to any fans of his music.

[hickeysu]

You are going to want to see the "official" concert video, coming to Nils web site soon.

[MrSimon2007]

awesome, love this guy, such an underratted talent by many - but why was Nils Lofgren playing at a Nils Lofgren Tribute Concert

[annefulton]

Reminds me of boating on the river Shannon, singing this for the first time, Go dessie Go.xx

[jackynjimy]

yeah, you're right ricbear. I meant that that was him on the stage.

[thejoad]

i love people who say "effing"

[Herioter]

Is that Skunk Baxter on keyboards??

[jackynjimy]

Yes it is.

[ricbear]

Skunk is actually playing pedal steel - hard to see from the angle this is shot...

[cherrypoint49]

Glad to know that, although I'm in the "way over 30+ crowd, I can still recognize talent. That was GREAT! Loved it. I know what I like, and I liked this A LOT!

[thejoad]

Way hey!

[mrchappelow]

Effing brilliant. Thank you for sharing.
