[SuperWigwambam]

you are not irish unless you were born in ireland of irish parents...hang on to another race/creed if you need to, but you ain,t irish!

[MrSeanSmalls]

For the first 2 minutes i was sure the tin whistle player was some drunk in the bar using the wall to hold himself up.

[daffodil97]

gordon strachen live in dublin

[MrPhilroo123]

we all come from somewhere, 2nd generation irish, man, this makes us irish, d'ya get it

[gracefulfish]

Copying Patrick's role on the tin whistle is giving me a FIT!

And what the heck does "go back to the jacks" mean?

-Confused Yank

[Fordprefect1000]

@gracefulfish Jacks - restroom.

[angab31]

Brilliant, lads!! Best song ever. Love seeing the old footage.

[ptaaffe]

don't know of another modern song that captures the sadness of emigration as much as this one. First heard this hanging out with young Irish in New York. I guess it will have resonance for a whole new generation, though now they are in Australia.

[TheFayser]

what a voice

[TheMickeytoll]

he looks a bit like charly sheen .. just his face..not the hear

[ruscool7]

irish roads best roads!!!!! :D

[benjibodhranboy]

[padward09]

[iusetaloveher]

Buíochas to Poser5k for posting this. Classic song. I remember at that time there was more of a Dublin-country divide.

[decofl]

they are so young!!

[mshocks]

Ah thanks I knew I was right heineken it is mark ha ha

[mshocks]

What is the can the girl takes a drink out at about 2.10 is it Heneinen or beer???

Please someone answer

[kevnmur]

Can of Heineken I reckon

[unitedenfree]

can heineken

[Leprechaunsquad]

looks more like tuborg

[ONEILLEIRE]

carlsburg.. d can has 2 much green on it.. heinikin cans hav less green n more silver

[mshocks]

Ah no way it is Heineken this was years ago the can was nearly all green then I'm sure of it I drink it back then. There is alot more silver on it nowadays alright. Carlsberg is a darker green way darker.

[mshocks]

Sorry if I was a bitchl last week I had a few too many still think its Heinken though but a few people i had over think its Carlsberg so now I'm not too sure but anyway its all good :)

[joefishlangley]

[bigredcossie]

1990 i think it is

[fjm67]

They look much younger. Does anyone know how old this video is?

[podgebrowne]

Saw Doctors are the best, I rem watching this episode of Nighthawlks, seen the SD's a few times since, dome in Tralee during the rose, mental!

[scoobiethedoobie]

[N15gooner]

Seen these in Thurlus lions stadium 1991 or 92, absolutely brilliant live. on the same bill as Van Morrison, these lads were better to watch. .

[LimeLady89]

Am, is your wan at 2.20 drinking out of a can??? No glasses in the 80's??

[PUMPERNICKEL4]

Was in Tuam myself last week. Browne's pub is no more, but the N17 sure is. Love the piece in the song when the old fellah left him to Shannon and they turned left at Clare Galway. A song for good memories

[jibathus]

2:20 that woman, "couldnt care less tbh with ya, wheres my beer"

[greennred]

Wonderful song about leaving and going back home. Very evocative if you are Irish and had to move away. Probably most nationalities can relate to the sentiments in some way. Thanks for posting.

[Erniebins]

Hoe young does Davi look ! just seen the boys play in Cardiff was a fantastic gig

[hanbanxxx]

hehe leo looks so funny there

just gt bak like an hour ago frm seein em

davey is stillas fit as ever

[3bar]

I saw (no pun intended) them over the summer at The Balloon Fest on Long Island. Two people in the crowd were carrying an N17 banner around and Leo said it had been at every show on the tour so far. These guys are great. Great version of the song!!!

[anne3362]

Thanks for sharing! Had forgotten about Shay Healy and that apron!!

[dessiefish]

[eimsnic]

[YoshiPooper]

AMAZING song. I love how the guy said "Yay" in the beginning.

[SeanOBriain]

lol yeah.

[mshocks]

Great song up Galway....

[fluffyMike]

bad hair, great song

[PGPyramid1]

This is from a long long time ago, when they were still fresh and raw. Saw them in March in Detroit, and they seem to have lost their way a bit with the newer songs. Still prefer the old stuff.

[neadymcn]

i saw ye

[djlegacy96]

the fella with black cap is my cousin

[brener26]

seen them play in nigeria

[oztots]

Christ, it means nothing when you can hear them anyday, but the line my father dropped me to shannon, that means alot more now.

We had them play in our school once, absolute madness!

[porkypara]

AWSOME!

watched them in south wales

[gbyrne92]

does anyone know the chords for this song? it looks like C and G but that doesnt sounf right

[woodsandhillsplc]

[04469909]

this song is so class especially when you are away from the old sod living on a foreign soil

[mshocks]

Hey we just moved to Canada from Galway Canada is great but know what you mean living on foreign soil, great song ...

[aljc100]

Saw them a few years back at the Cambridge Folk Festival, and they signed a CD for my little boy and tried to teach him how to dance to Tommy K. Really, really top blokes!

[comragh]
