This is an amazing live rendition by Dan Fogelberg of his song dedicated to his dad, called "Leader of the Band." His dad was a high school band leader and influenced Dan greatly. Sadly Dan died in December 2007, of prostate cancer.

Lawrence Peter Fogelberg, a high school band director, who spent most of his career at Peoria's Woodruff High School and Pekin High School.

Amazing song. But it isn't literally about his dad being the leader of the band. By band he means his family.
-
love this song u can feel the love of his father in it
-
Beautiful song...beautiful music, thanks Dan. Rest in sweet peace.
-
Beautiful and soul touching, as he always sang and played. Thanks for the music, universal language of love.

@stonegrooved Seals and Crofts,America and Loggins and Messina don't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Neil Young. As far as Dan Fogelberg goes it's a good song about his dad. If you don't like it don't trash the guy. When is the last time you performed before an audience,heard yourself on the radio or said something nice about someone?

Dan Fogelberg's soul was in his lyrics--and in his music. He WAS an original.

This is so beautiful! He sounds amazing as usual. So many people can relate to the lyrics of this song. The collection of pictures are so touching. What a loss. We will miss you Dan but your music will live on forever! Thanks for sharing coloradoradio
