The funny thing is that if Uncle Terry had been at this concert he would have spotted this camera and confiscated it...he had an eye like a hawk!! I watched him do it to people all of the time. BUt hey, I am glad you got to tape it so I could see Bruce perform it again!!!
I was your Uncle Terry's friend from Chicago, Joe. I'm standing with him backstage during a show and he's says "I'll be right back." Terry went through the crowd like a great white shark and disappears. A couple minutes later he returns with a handful of recorders, tosses them on the concrete floor, and stomps them into little pieces. He would have a field day with all the new video iphones. Terry's Song is a beautiful tribute to a one of kind guy.
i am learning this song at the momment and u cnt no how meaning ful it is to u learn it! to any one out there who plays guitar this is the song to learn ps im 13 so dnt go being nasty to me lol!
I brought my 8 year old son to this show. This happens to be one of his favorite songs on Magic. I can't tell you the rush we felt when we realized he was going to play this. An amazing moment shared between father and son.
Thank you! This song helps me everyday. I lost my brother in November and I used a quote from this song in my eulogy to him. It is nice to know that it comforts so many people. RIP Johnny I love you.
May Danny's family feel the comfort we are trying to send them in our thoughts.
I was at that concert on the 14th. It was a wonderful time for me,I got to heal many wounds. From the minute the Band took the stage I could feel something different.Patti was not there, Bruce laughed and said one of the parents had to stay home, cause when his parents left him home as a teen, first thing in the oven were hash brownies. I could relate. Bruce did not seem himself. I hoped he was not ill. Now I know, his heart was breaking all over again. He never let on. Thanks, Bruce. RIP Terry.
this may sound a little weird, but i find this the best track on "magic" and i almost knew for sure it would never be played live. i like the fact that i was wrong

but not in the front
in the back but still a good view
my mom said that I would get the death penalty because the ticket said no cameras and she is stupid and believed it.

I love this song and hope he'll play it this summer aswell, it's beautiful when he does ballads, and he should dare to do more of them, every night.
Maybe 3-4 out of 24 or so...
Thanks for posting.

Thanks for a cool video share.
Cool comments about bond, friendship, and brotherhood.
If y'all are so inclined, say one for Danny's family....and maybe one for all of us on "the highway".
I'm guessing that Danny's a part of that number with his accordian slung around his next walking in in the next parade.

Hi there, thanks for the comment.
He said that last night, 4/14, would've been Terry's 68th birthday. It was heart-wrenching performance.
