DAN FOGELBERG AND FOOLS GOLD
Santa Monica 1976 [no label, 2CD]
Live at the Santa Monica Civic Center, Santa Monica, CA; March 6, 1976. Very good FM broadcast.
In the liner notes to Portrait - The Music of Dan Fogelberg from 1972-1997, Paul Zollo wrote: “Hitting the road in 1974 with Fool’s Gold, a young band from Illinois, [Dan Fogelberg] toured for the next two years. “Suddenly we were rock stars. These were heady days. We were soaking it up, and thought we were more important than we were. But really we were just these kids from Illinois with high voices.”
But it was Nether Lands in 1977 that Fogelberg felt was a critical album. He said: “When I made Nether Lands, I felt that I had finally made a grown up record. That I wasn’t a kid anymore, and that I was finding my own voice as a writer.”
However, with songs such as Longer, Leader Of The Band and Same Old Lang Syne, Fogelberg became known as a voice for easy-listening or soft rock in the ’80s; to many, along the veins of The Eagles, England Dan and Bertie Higgins.
According to an AP article, Fogelberg’s music was powerful in its simplicity. He did not rely on the volume of his voice to convey his emotions; instead, they came through in his soft, tender delivery and his poignant lyrics. Songs like “Same Old Lang Syne,” in which a man reminisces after meeting an old girlfriend by chance during the holidays, became classics not only for his performance, but also for their engaging story lines. Later in his career, he would write material that focused on the state of the environment, an issue close to his heart. In 2007, Fogelberg died of cancer. He was 56.
