Michael Hedges - Rickover's Dream

[dreamingisjazz]

this is the most beautiful piece of music i have ever heard. The ability to express this the way he did. This powerfull, breath taking, just absolutly magical, I really don't know what to call it. it's not just music, it is so much more.

[jazzpsalti]

easily the best and most dynamic version of this... plus his performance style visually here is really surreal

[dlizzle]

honestly this performance is one of my favorite pieces (of his or anybody's) that i've ever heard...there's just something about it...and i've been a fan of guitar-oriented music for decades now...this one is just special...

[Tinydude10]

I could listen to him tune forever.

[zzwerzy]

God Bless whoever captured this.

[LKennedy777]

*Heaven in sound* ... This piece overwhelms my spirit.

[Eiende]

That which burns twice as bright , burns half as long.

Thank You A Million Times Over for Posting this Video !!!!!!

This is possibly the most beautiful I have seen and heard of Michael Hedges playing....

This is what we should all be striving for....realization of the truth of who we are...the beauty, of which we were placed here on this planet, to bring to each other.

Thank YOU !!!!

why'd he lose his hair?

[chasmd]

He just shaved it

[bendistraw]

This may the definitive live version of this song. So fabulous! The opening moments are priceless, too. Thank you, type3!

Was this at the Humboldt State University?? My parents saw him around 1997 and I was just wondering if this was the one they went to in Humboldt.

I think I've watched all the versions of his of this song on youtube and I gotta say this is the best. those harmonics kill me every time.

Interesting to watch. An ego, or past the ego into something else, a mind within depths un-perceivable. A harmonious balance of artist and muse or maybe audience and creator; to which is either the instrument... A man who grows and caused growth in he what seems fulfilled... reciprocation to god for gods. He knows!

The OCD lead-in is apropo, considering that Admiral Hymen G. Rickover was himself a particular and detail-oriented man, at least when it came to developing the modern U.S. nuclear fleet.

Estoy de acuerdo con BluStrat22, esta es una de las canciones mas hermosas de todos los tiempo. Que Dios bendiga y le de otra oportunidad a Michael, de volver a esta vida y nos enseñe su legado. Efectivamnente todos quienes te conocimos a traves de tu musica, te extrañamos aca abajo. Un beso para ti Michael desde Chile, en donde quiera que estes.

I once complimented Michael my second time seeing him live after having heard his recordings for 13 years: "I've never heard anyone play guitar like you do."

He replied, "That's why I do it."

[BluStrat22]

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever. God Blees you Michael...we all miss you down here

[mrwrister]

Theres nothing more annoying than playing an out of tune instrument. It's my "OCD" also.

[jakerandall123]

Michael I miss you.

[xantheman0120]

beautiful. that is all i can say...just beautiful

[tjazmin]

a holy man who loves to amuse his audiences with funny jokes & heavy mental music. Wish you're here still!!!

[TheTMP]

Thank you, miss him a lot even still

[harperspaceuk]

stunning!
