Free Music Review: I Wish it Were a 2 CD set.
Hit: 4 Stars
Dan Fogelberg was truly a gifted musician and singer. This CD shows the vast talent Dan possessed. He did covers of songs that were not on albums, so it gave the listener, some songs that the title Something, Old, New, Borrowed and Some Blues truly captured. His rendition of Jesse Colin Young's Songbird and George Harrison's Here Comes the Sun were personalized to Dan's music. It really kept me wanting more. It has been a must listen to in my car, for the past three weeks. I am prejudiced because I grew up with Dan's music. His music just helps me believe that love and compassion still exists in this cruel world. He was a voice that would take a young lad in a concrete city, into the mountains, forests and rivers. This is a CD for Fogelberg fans and those who appreciated the LA Rock music of Jackson Browne, Eagles, Poco, Stephen Stills, etc. This Cd is pure instruments and singing, no techno stuff, just the man who loved to entertain an audience, yet still be humbled by his fame.Free Music Review: Magic Every Moment With Every Song.

What can you say about Dan? He's a perfectionist on stage! Magic Every Moment, from The River of Souls opens the cd and is pure magic. Way to go Dan! Here Comes the Sun,from George Harrison closes the cd. Dan could had a hit with this cover!Bravo!! This is not one concert, but concerts that spanned a few years apart. Timothy B. Schmidt from the Eagles is background vocals on a few songs. Dan and Timothy performed You Better Think Twice a song from Poco,when Tim was with the group. Excellent!! Everything else is just pure Fogelberg. Seeing Dan twice in concert and have him not perform many of these songs,was a true delight to hear them performed live. Not being a fan of live recordings of concerts,this did not disappoint. Free Music Review: unique collection

This is a wonderful compilation of live songs performed by Dan Fogelberg with various band members during the 90's. I had to the good fortune to see three of his shows during that time and always made a list of the songs played each night. Afterwards I would create a cassette of the songs available to re-live the concert. This record includes some previously unreleased material and it puts me right back into one of those seats again. Dan's incredible versatility and power as a peformer is showcased here. In addition, his breadth as a musician is demonstrated again & again. Songs like "The Innocent Age" and "Make Love Stay" are unmatched in lyric and melodic composition. And then the power and raw emotion of "Don't Let That Sun Go Down" is indicative of a side of Dan's music of which the Top 40 listener is unaware. And then his tip of the hat to the Beatles in "Here Comes The Sun" reminds us of why we all were influenced by their sound.
For anyone who wants to experience Dan Fogelberg in Concert and glimpse the variety of his talent and his ability to reach out and hold an audience, then this album will put you right there! A definite 'Recommended Buy'
Free Music Review: nice for fans
Hit: 3 Stars
Not a bad cd. Though I heard this was recorded in the early to mid 90's, I do not recall hearing many of these songs performed live. Dan's setlist does not change much period, so many of these must have been one offs. The inclusion of 'Changing horses' makes it worth the price alone.'Looking for a lady' and 'as the raven flies' only sweeten the offer. A few other surprises are when Timothy B. Schmidt joins the fun for old Poco nugget 'You better think twice.' And a "where did that come from" reading of 'Statesboro blues.' Mr. Harrisons 'Here comes the sun' ends the acoustic set nicely. I probably would have rated this higher if it weren't for the inclusion of a few tunes that need not be here. I am assuming Dan knew this would be largely a "fans only" disc thus I do not see a valid reason for the inclusion of 'Make love stay' and 'Hard to say' which make their umpteenth appearance here. They could have, should have, been left off.
I would reccomend any of Dan's 70's catalog first. But if you are already a fan then this should do nothing to change that. One other thing is that this album is on a tiny record label (Chicago records) so it may be wise to pick this one up before it dissapears!!
