If I was Robert Been I'd read the many many comments below and just see two things: 1-- The fans LOVE this take on the song. 2- Robert you did your father proud. Great job!

Playing his Dad's bass... Filling his Dad's part... Singing in his Dad's band... Rockin it: And, making it his own! I can only begin to imagine how it must feel for you, Mr. Been 👍🙏

I've been down lately ... strange to say this but at the age of 54 I'm feeling more spiritual than I ever have before. I'm a musician, and at the age of 16 I recall hearing this song, playing it in the front room of the family home on my Mum's piano. I searched it up on the ol' Itunes yesterday and gladly rediscovered it, and have played it (along with 'The Walls' and 'Let The Day Begin') possibly over 30 times ... Life is a strange journey ... I now have lived through what Michael mentions in his song - pain, tears, shame and grief etc (not wars thankfully) ... ironically I'm restoring my old bass guitar at the moment that I bought from a friend at the age of 16 ... RIP Michael Been

RIP MICHAEL BEEN...One of the most brillant and criminally OVERLOOKED&UNDERRATED Musicians...EVER...

No better way to pay tribute to a father than by his son. This band was a bright light during a very hit and miss era of music. So very underrated and overlooked by those that thought the music scene was somewhere else. Critics are clueless, this band is proof. God Bless you Michael, Robert and The Call.

At age 18, I spoke at my dad's memorial service (he died at 49). My last words in that "Speech" were "It will be a really hard act to follow." I wish I'd done as well as Robert Levon Been has done. I'm still trying fulfill my promise... and I'm pushing 70 now... The first time I saw The Call perform, I was 16.

He sure sounds like his dear ol' dad. Just loved this song from The Call. His son sure does the tune justice. Rock on Robert.. Your dad is looking down on you and is so proud!!!

Never knew this existed. Lost both parents over the last few years. This brought tears to my eyes and chills to my body. Amazing how music can move the soul. Thank you for this!!!

Dad is proud. You made it your own, with the love.

When THE CALL first hit the air ways. I was Young, in the Army and away from home. I was in a local place where I went to get a civilian meal..LOL.. This song place on the radio they had on. I right then thought, 'well...finally a real bunch of rock and rollers' ... I have always loved this band. I am so sad the Michael is not with us. I am now an old goat, but I still Believe !

it is so scary how much he sounds like his dad and so cool that he does this tribute album in his dad's honor...rock on to the call

amazing. I saw Robert's dad play live so many times, then had the pleasure of working with Robert himself years later. Two brilliant bands...

My God, that was chilling. While not the vocal dynamo that his father was (who is, though?), it's uncanny and somewhat unnerving to basically see and hear a young Michael Been performing alongside The Call again. What a heartbreakingly fantastic tribute to his father - nicely done, Robert!

You are indeed your father's son. My goodness. How perfect. I'm so sorry your father passed away so young, but you will carry on the musical legacy and make it your own. Thank you SO much for doing this cover. One of my all-time favorite songs! Love, L

That classic bass!!!! Love that he uses his dads bass and nails the emotion in the vocals! The marching snare is so great after the first chorus…very tasty!!!! Absolutely love The Call!

Daddy would be so proud; we sure are! The Call came in my life in my 20s, a young husband and new father. I must have listened to Reconciled (cassette) every morning driving to work for like a year!

Was honored to be at this show. The musicianship was unreal, including from a most capable stand-in on lead vocals and bass. You could see, as the night wore on, what an emotional experience it was for all...audience included. Great song, great show.

That’s a bad ass live performance. Sounds incredible.

His band, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, did a great cover of "Let the Day Begin" as a trbute to Michael Been after his death.

The apple does not fall from the tree.........close your eyes and you would think his Dad is back on stage.......RIP MB........great job!

Oh my god!!! This is amazing. I loved The Call so much in the 80s. Robert Levon Been really sounds so much like his father.

R.B. never met your Dad... R.B. never met you... But, what I've heard and what I've read... But, what I've known has been greatly affected... by your thread! May THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY Bless you and your family and THE CALL!

A thousand "likes." Seeing the Call back together, with Rob singing. Wow!

His son knocked it out of the park. Every song!

Drove around VW bus 🚌 with the call , new order, sugar cubes,Susie and the banshees,Depeche Mode , and. psychedelic furs, early 90s out west ,, my twenties best time in my life!, thank you 🙏🏻

We did The Call songs in our church worship team, and we've done The Call songs in front of audiences. Brilliant band which translates to any audience. Truly one of the most underrated underappreciated bands in existence. Rest will Michael Been. I'll see you in heaven dear brother!

The Been didn’t fall from the tree. May the hand of God be for you.

Oh my.... when I found out Michael Been had gone, I felt a piece of myself die. The Call was MY band. The one no one knew, wasn't popular, and got me through ll that stuff when I was younger. I had no idea his son had taken the reigns. Not exact, but pretty darn close. He is his own self, and I completely appreciate that. wow..... This means, if ever possibly I see them coming around.....I will see them. The legacy lives on. Your Dad would be proud young man. The Call saved this life.....carry on young man, do great things.

I bawled hearing this on 105.5 The Colorado Sound. Thanks “Micheal Micheal Micheal” 🥡🥢 🪱 🍚👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Love that it was featured at the seasons end of Reservation Dogs. I am a Native American Rez kid that used Reconcile as a support system in 1986 and continue to listen to this day! ❤

WOW! Just WOW! I saw his Dad perform with the band some time ago in a hole in the wall bar in San Diego and to this day I would relive that night again and again! Hanging out with the band like we were childhood friends was epic! I knew his son had taken the ropes but I was never ready to pass Michael Been on. Miss his talent so much! THE CALL WAS SO UNDERRATED!

How he can rock this fretless bass without any false note is beyond me. Rock on!

What an awesome tribute to your dad and how I miss him so much.

the call. 1986 student union college park maryland. lots of bands, but when the call came on everyone knew who the "real" band was. fantastic.

If I close my eyes it's like Michael never left.

I saw the Call open for Simple Minds in 87'. Robert sounds so much like his dad! What a cool show that must have been to be at. Just amazing. Also, BRMC is one of the best bands out today! Saw them live and they blew me away!

His voice is absolutely mesmerizing.

chilling. That apple didn't fall far from the tree at all. Even using his fathers bass.

Saw The Call many years ago at the Boathouse (which is no longer there) in Norfolk, Virginia. I have forgotten most shows that I have attended over the years but not that one. Michael Been's voice was a little more raspy. However Robert, you have honored your father with an awesome rendition of this song! Thank You!!!

I love seeing him play the same bass his dad used to play also. I'd love to see a live performance of "In The River." At the beginning of that song, live, Michael would just bang on the strings with his knuckles. Truly a great show as those of you who got to see them live can attest.

playing bass and singing at the same time is no easy task. love this song

Perfect in every way.

This was so atmospheric. I close my eyes and I'm in a state of peace and joy... This is the beauty and power of music!

OMG! Like father, like son... ur old man lives in u bob, keep up the good job.

I keep coming back to this video , great homage to his dad and still one of my favourite songs of all time.

I guess the 28 dislikes are from the FBI and ATF

Love The Call, saw them in concert 3 times back in the 80s & early 90s. Have all their music on CDs and vinyl.

He sounds just like his Dad. Just awesome. 💕💕💕

Thank you Rob. Your pop's light lives on...

Nice Robert, very nice. Givin' me chills! I saw your dad do this song so many times, never got tired of hearing him sing, such a great inner spirit. And I saw you guys at this show in LA, your dad would have been so proud of you, as I know he was of you and BRMC.

Brings a tear to the eye

Amazing stuff!! Just like his Pa! Fond memories of seeing the band with Michael at the Crow Nest in Santa Cruz Ca back in the day!

I love the explosive sound of the Yamaha drum kit. Excellent overall sound.

Great genetics! Very talented.

Awesome! I remember seeing The Call when they opened for Simple Minds in '86 I think it was. I met the band back stage, first class all the way. Obviously the fruit didn't fall far from the tree! Great job, Robert! This brought back a lot of great memories!

That is really a great song from a great band the call which was started in the 80s by Michael Been. This was a version done by his son singing this great song it would be great to play at Trump rallies for the millions of us who voted for President Trump in 2016 and 2020!

Playing dad's bass as well. Great tribute to him.

For people like us, in places like this.

The greatest live performance I’ve ever heard!

Wow... That's especially inspiring to see from a Dad's perspective!

He even plays that Ampeg fretless like his dad! Exactly what I needed to hear at this hour. Well done.

Dad is so proud!!

I miss Michael! But I just feel Blessed to have had him.

AWESOME,i got chills

Great respect to his dad.awesome!!

Dad was there with him and listen to what a performance. The band and the singing is untouchable.

Amazing, gave me goosebumps! Michael is soooooo proud he is smiling big from the Heavens above.

Good lord he sounds like his dad!!

Great performance!

First show I ever attended was The Call at The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano when I was around ten years old. I got to shake Michael Been's hand as he was walking to the stage. It was so cool, he was so cool, what an awesome experience that was. Way too soon, I miss him. R.I.P Michael Been, you are loved.

Christian rock lives on. RIP Mr. Been

Waco (2018) brought me here. Nice song bro.

He does his dad proud....epicI been in a cave For forty days Only a spark To light my way I wanna give out I wanna give in This is our crime This is our sin But I still believe I still believe Through the pain And the grief Through the lies Through the storms Through the cries And through the wars Oh, I still believe Flat on my back Out at sea Hopin' these waves Don't cover me I'm turned and tossed Upon the waves When the darkness comes I feel the grave You might also like I Don’t Wanna The Call Everywhere I Go The Call The Walls Came Down The Call But I still believe I still believe Through the cold And the heat Through the pain And through the tears Through the crowds And through the cheers Oh, I still believe I'll march this road I'll climb this hill Down on my knees if I have to I'll take my place Up on this stage I'll wait 'til the end of time For you like everybody else I'm out on my own Walkin' the streets Look at the faces That I meet I feel like I like I want to go home What do I feel What do I know But I still believe I still believe Through the shame And through the grief Through the heartache Through the years Through the waiting Through the years For people like us In places like this We need all the hope That we can get Oh, I still believe

Beautiful performance!

Wow.. some voice kid, I've been listening to your Dad sing this tune for a long time, I'm of the lost boys generation, Jay Ireland...

I still love... The Call.

Anyone else still putting on "Let the Day Begin" and the other The Call classics at least once a week in their house? I can't let these songs go, they're just too much a part of me!

I still believe. Thank you God.

Just discovered this... This cut still hits me hard, and Roberts voice still pulls out the original emotion I felt and feel when I hear The Call. Thank you for not forgeting your father's fans and making it your own.

God Bless!! The best music of all. Words of life

Love it, I feel sorry for people born in the nineties. The eighties were awesome. I'm so glad I was around even though it means I'm old now 😅

Absolutely sounds as good or better today than when it came out. Blows the shit on the radio of today, out of the water.

Back here after 3 years still a great version and I've only just realised he is playing his father's bass

Robert, doin' daddy proud as all hell. Whether singing his dads music, or doing his own stuff from his band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, he is a great bass player with his dad distinct voice. Great band, The Call & B.R.M.C. If you haven't seen the concert/docmentary this video was taken from, you are missing out. The Call: Featuring Robert Levon Been of B.R.M.C, A Tribute To Micheal Been. It a great piece of music history worth owning. R.I.P. Micheal. Smile down at your talented kid playing your bass & your music. How could a father be any prouder.

Yes, like father like son.. You know it for sure. Heard it the other day, on Russ Taffs' recording. Then became curious as to the original. Found that on U Tube. Then had to listen to the son singing. Awesome. "WE STILL BELIEVE".

I was looking for a live version of Norman Brown and Michael McDonald's "I Still Believe" and this popped up. Serendipity. This is awesome. I love it all.

I go back to this song whenever hope is fading.

Proof that often times talent runs deep in the blood.

Yes...saw them live in char. N.c. back in the day...small club. . .we couldn't hear afterwards!! It was AWESOME!! ONE OF A KIND!!! PROUD TO HAVE BEEN THERE!!

The Lost Boys!!! What a great song. So this band turned down being on the movie? Wow.

How can u not love that electric piano

His vocals are great

The best band every. Please listened to the lyrics. Awesome. I can't believe he is dead.

HE SOUNDS DAMN GOOD, just like dad.

Anthem for the next four years.

What a hauntingly amazing performance, I’d have thought it was his dad! Such a sad loss! 🙏

Great job on the sound quality on live performance. Love this song

Bless your heart, Robert. I met your daddy years ago, and he was a sweetheart.

Incredibly I've only just discovered The Call..they should have been BIG

Its alive! Like father lke son
