Like a hurricane - Nils Lofgren

Wonderful version of this fantastic song by Nils Lofgren with an amazing guitar solo.
Lyrics:
Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam I know thats who you are,
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire.
You are like a hurricane
Theres calm in your eye.
And Im gettin blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but Im getting blown away.
I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream,
You could have been anyone to me.
Before that moment you touched my lips
That perfect feeling when time just slips
Away between us on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
Theres calm in your eye.
And Im gettin blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but Im getting blown away.
You are just a dreamer, and I am just a dream.
You could have been anyone to me.
Before that moment you touched my lips
That perfect feeling when time just slips
Away between us on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
Theres calm in your eye.
And Im gettin blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but Im getting blown away.

    That little touch of "something extra" in the solo piece is called pinch harmonics. Nils (along with Robbie Robertson and Eric Clapton) is a true master of the style, which can be heard throughout his career. His solo stuff just has so much more variety than his collaborative work with others. If I had to name the 5 best living guitarists, Nils would probably be on that list. Many thanks for this, and all of Nils' contributions.

    If he was not awesome he would not play with Bruce. Every musician playing in the E-Street Band is a real master. And Nils made lots of nice albums. And he created his own style of playing guitar. Even his acoustic guitar solo is special. Nils' style of phrasing and bending. Somewhere between spanish style, jazz and blues. Great - and unique

    When I was sophomore in high school some 44 years ago now, a friend played the Grin album for me and I heard the song Like Rain and almost cried it was so beautiful. I wore a picture of Nils that I had made into a button on my jean jacket. This was before his solo album. Springsteen was also one of my favorites (saw him in concert before Born to Run made him "famous"). And, finally, I played this song by Neil in college over and over and over. When I learned to play guitar in high school and college, Nils, Bruce and Neil (and Jesse Colin Young) were among my very favorite artists. Enjoy your youth, young ones, time is fleeting.

    NIs' version is as fabulous as Neil's - both superb. The guitar work on this one shows what a real master Nils is - thank you both

    What a legend - shows a rare talent with top class professionism. Have followed Nils since he appeared in Neil Young's Berlin 1982 live performance. He is one of those rare musicians who deserve more recognition than he has received.

    Never really knew of him before a few years ago although I really enjoyed Neil Young and Crazy Horse and Spingsteen during their heydays. Really enjoying him now. Better late than never.

    Love Nils! Feel sorry for those that never listened to his music. A friend of mine turned me on to "Too Many Miles," "Keith Don't Go," and "Big Tears Fall," (about the kids that were killed in Sandy Hook mass shooting) ! He's the real deal, nobody like him. In my mid 60's.✌💥💫
