Glen Hansard Reviews and Set List

i was impressed with him. Not knowing too much about him, i thought he was great! He only played for 30 mins. though at tonight's show :( I thought he could have played another song or two.

For anyone looking for some great solo footage of Glen - I suggest you check this out:

This is a gig Glen played at the Met in NYC a couple of months ago -it's pro shot and is almost an hour long so you get a lot more than the 30 mins Glen has opening for Ed.

Wow - standing ovation for Falling Slowly last night at Chicago 2 - the first few fanviews already say it was a highlight of the night.

Also I see that Glen did somewhat of an extended set of 8 songs last night - you lucky things!!

I love Glen.. I have seen him open for several different types of shows now, and he always wins over the crowd with his sense of humor and the passion in his performance.
Like he said, what happened while he was on stage last year was so tragic, but it is such a beautiful thing that Eddie reached out to him and led him on the path to all of us Pearl Jam nuts to get to see them playing together.

I'm REALLY enjoying reading things like this:

"Of all the memorable moments in Saturday's concert, the one that should go down for the ages was the cover song that earned Hansard a uproarious standing ovation during his 45-minute set: a vein-popping interpretation of Van Morrison's "Astral Weeks"."

So glad Glen is melting faces and blowing minds

Astral Weeks is my favorite album of all time and to have heard the lead song from it live was my dream. Glen does such an impressive (though different from Morrison) job on this. I was literally moved to tears.

I was blown away by Glen's performance in Detroit. The only song I had looked up before I went was Astral Weeks on YouTube, so I wasn't completely sure what to expect. But I enjoyed the performance and so did my daughter. Going to be picking up some of his cds for sure.

Glen's version of it was very different than Morrisons. I like Morrison's better, maybe because it's the original and classic version, but was in tears hearing Glen's passion that he play the song with. If you haven't heard Morrison's version, it's worth a listen. Just make sure to burn some incense while you listen

Your right about Glen's passion when he plays the song. I recommend to anyone who hasn't heard Glen rendition to check it out on YouTube. The original Morrison version is almost to mellow for me now, after seeing Glens performance. But both are good though

Historical note -- this is the show that took place after EV and Glen met for the first time, and Glen sang Sleepless Nights for the record; then raced over, ran onstage, and played one unbelievable show. And all that led to what is happening now....
