Dan Fogelberg - The Early Years With The Coachmen 1967

[doonbiz]

Remarkable. The stunning talent there at the start. I've followed Dan's music since my early 20s. For the music certainly, also to find some pearls Dan would include in each LP, each CD release. Thoughts on life (attempting to follow the path of the "Warrior"), and of course Love ("Are the promises made, worth the price of the game, are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt?"). Those of us who treasure Dan's music, all he gave us, will stay with us forever. This was a real treat. Thanks!

Dude I'm 18 and in music and figured out that my 3rd cousin was in this band. Wow, i been doing music for a couple years. Music flows through my veins. i feel like i can do it!

[soulhoosier]

This music apparently recorded with Peoria high school buddies from the East Bluff, Woodruff High in Peoria before Fogelberg and Gary Richratth and Head East put Peoria on the rockn'roll map as it were.

Incredible- thank you so much for letting us hear Dan at age 16- I love it!!!

[nvpublictv]

wow

[mikeaustin26]

Great tune it definitely has A Beatles feel to it!

[geor67]

Wow! Early Dan Fogelberg--can't get any better than that! Love it!

[MIKECNW]

May I ask Why the last song was cut off before it was completed?

[GooglelyTube]

YOU have a connection. Where in the world - and HOW in the world - do you get these!?!?

[IryshGyrl]

You can hear Dan's voice singing the back up repeat in the chorus.

I can't thank you enough for this and all the others as well. These are like gifts from heaven. What a miracle. I think Dan's spirit had a hand in this. I'm sure he knows how much his Dan fans are hurting and that this brings us some comfort. That's why they have been sent to you to give to us. Keep em coming. I can't stop crying. Ditto to what everyone else said for this & all the other posts too. Love them all. I am eternally grateful. Thanks from the bottom of my heart Beggars & PBRUD.

[trishluvsdan]

Thank You Thank You Thank You!!! I have often wondered what he looked like when he was young. And that voice! I also cried when I first heard the songs. Especially the one he wrote. Thanks again to beggarsgame and pbrud. You two are awesome!

[headcaseworker]

OMG! This is unbelievable! Dan was a baby at this time! What a talent! Thank you so much for sharing!

[caseyk928]

just so awesome!!! made me cry--confirmed my belief that Dan followed his Destiny and was he certainly channeled his gifts from God Almighty!!

[FrozenStreams]

WOW. What a great find.

Keep it going....

[cjthemusicman]

Amazing! 16 years old! This is a real find, Donna.....thank you for sharing with us!

[crazy1689]

Begger thanks for adding me to your list. I truley appriecate it.

[jules7111]

Time WE ALL will never forget... Thanks for sharing with all of us!!!!! What a prize!!!!

[LinYouToo]

Holy moly! As soon as you hear the second vocal you know it's Dan!  This is incredible. Just incredible. All the way back to the late 60s or so. What a loss. RIP Dan.

[asquare176]

Does anyone knows,if the song Maybe Time Will Let Me Forget,ever hit the air waves? It sounded so familiar to me? I lived on the Illinois/Indiana state line during that time and thought it made been played. I always had my trusty radio blasting.

[asquare176]

Very cool!! The first song, wanted me to put on those white go-go boots and head on down to the Hullabaloo Show!! That was the sound of that time. There's also a Beatles influence in the song. The second number, I may had recognized it to be a Fogelberg song,just by the way it is written and sung. He wrote and sung the lyrics much different than most artist.I believe Dan is looking down from heaven with a smile and saying OMG! Thanks for sharing this.What a treasure!

[doofus0123]

holey cow I'm glad you went thru and did the all-points-bulletins/friend thing. Excellent stuff! thank goodness for the technology that enables this.

[TheLastNail]

This is fantastic for such a ripe age when pop music was just emerging. The stuff we were doing at 16, nothing like this...Definately captured the sounds of the day...but then they indeed hurry away...

[nvpublictv]

AWESOME!

[rbassmanw]

Thanks! This is a Gem.

[writingtome]

Hi Beggarsgame...thanks so much for posting this incredible video. It's bittersweet to hear these gems of history. Dan's been gone for six months now and I find that hard to believe. On 12/16/2007, Dan went from being mortal to immortal. May his music live on. May Dan be soaring free, May Jean be blessed going forward. Thank you for your work Beggarsgame.

[billp1955]

Hmmmm...it actually sounds like Dan might be the second voice on his song, not the lead...?? I loved it!! Thanks

[pbrud]

Yes, Dan is indeed the 2nd/echo vocal.

[crazy1689]

Absolutely wonderful !! Thanks for sharing this treasure !

[becster1964]

D Woman!

FANFRIGGINTASTIC!! Damn, even at the ripe old age of 16 the lyrics, the playing, and the great harmonies are there! I guess we shouldn't be surprised, but it's so amazing to hear. You're wonderful for sharing this find with us, thanks so much D and PBRUD.

[BrokenArrow1967]
