Christy Moore - Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Live Performance

[netwitch56]

Incredible! Thanx for uploading

[RenegadeZoo]

Super!



[TerrySleeper]

I first heard this in 1975.

If anyone had suggested to me then that anyone could "cover" this track - let alone a guy and a guitarist - I would have fallen about laughing.

I am not laughing now..

This is superb.

Long live Christy Moore!

[Revelnoc]

Respect ............

[munchcing]

amazing what else can i say.

[bennyhartley11]

Saw you sing this live in London a couple of years ago, when you dedicated it your son. What a great version fantastic.

[znubzz188]

its great to see christy moore do a wonderfull version of one of my most favorit songs ever!

[floydbluethereal]

Wow!

[MsNellstar]

declan sinnott on guitar, beautiful accompaniment to a legend singing a legendary song...

[mrblue979]

what can I say....David Gilmour and Christy Moore, you are my Heroes!

Greetings from Palermo, Italy

[bellsbakers3]

pure brill

[aaronboi07]

Id Rather Listen To Pink Floyds Version Any Day! Christy Moore Is Class Tho

[alcest35]

Amazing cover. Like pretty near every song Christy ever covers, he manages to find the essence of the original tune and at the same time infuses it with his truly ancient spirit, making each song he sings his own, in his inimitable way. This man is a singer who veritably defines what it is to be legendary.

[TheOtherMic]

One person accidentally hit dislike.

[MrSzero13]

Simply wonderful, heard this on Serius Xm And was blown away :) made me explore more of your stuff , love it all VERY NICE bless ya :)

[danderz]

Beautiful

[Fergyguitar]

@chris, we learned it by playing it long before the internet but I take your point, it is really good as a piece, in fact this is outstanding, one of my favourite Irish musicians singing one of my favourite songs, it doesn't get much better. I can't help but think that Syd would have approved.

[unaperrson]

random precision, the greatest oxymoron ever!

[floydbluethereal]

Very nice!

[MrDavekavo]

awesom keep em comein

[torven137]

You cannot always do what you love. But anyway: Love what you do!

[torven137]

This song doesn't need anything or anybody more to be played with all the intensity it deserves to be played with. SO INTENSIVE!

[uwebde]

There is so much Feeling in this Song - Thx for posting

[chrissymallon]

[AdrianLOkeeffe]

Jesus Christy - excelent man - Sinnot - I wish to christ I could play that - as one of the posts said ' to strip away ' and show the core of a song - MAGIC PURE MAGIC

[asparecus]

cant wait to see christy live.

[ElectricLabel]

Alas, the lyric is "Come on you painter, you piper, you prism" not "you prisoner". Its OK though.

[daveburnham]

@ElectricLabel Alas I think its prisoner !.

[dixonmole]

@ElectricLabel

Alas you are wrong... it's prisoner not prism.

[weemalky]

What happened to all the comments? Great song done justice. I love this.

[191strider]

that was beautiful!

[throbasonic1982]

I love Pink Floyd. And this is great too.

[Trigsbroom]

Love it!

This is the only version that I've heard that works for me,apart from Floyd. Just excellent!

[3minuteboy]

I love Floyd, I like Christy. I don't mind this version... come on...we are all singing along with him. It's kareoke that we can suffer.

[bigal2400]

pink floyd is my life ,,,,,and i think this a good job ,,,so fuck off to all who dont like it ,,,PS declan pays it well ,,,long live syd barret ...

[seanhennessy]

Dear god, make it stop....crucifying.

[tumadoireacht]

this is so wrong -like seeing a politician dance

[Planxty96]

Christy,

Sung from where the diamond really shines, in 'the foul rag and bone shop of the heart.' Masterful. Go raibh mile maith agat agus do Declan freisin.

Planxty96

[dullsvillain]

Syd hears .....Syd shines

[mrpestopickles]

Amazing. Anyone know where I can get the tab for this?

[sydbarret1973]

[malismad]

I thought this would be shite when I head about it but it's fucking superb.

[SlickSmooth22]

@malismad Nothing Christy Moore does is ever shite

[FastEddieNelson]

Now that's something!

Love the Floyd and Love Christy.

This is just something!!!

[Mantuaisland]

I thought Christy Moore could sing just about any song before seeing this, but now I'm totally convinced.

[winstonlegthigh99]

thanks, ya crazy christy man... :0)

[CHUGGING]

A sort of Irish slant on a great Pink Floyd classic. Well done Christy I enjoyed that!

[nicewanboy]

saw the lads playing this last night in the marquee as an encore.played it in memory of micheal jackson. have to say it blew me away. hats off to declan sinnott. countrys finest guitarst.

[94ds94]

Him and Gallagher man, the two are amazin guitarists, and both can play the mandolin xD

[gerose64]

yes it was amazing - saw Micheal Jackson in Cork in '88, saw Roger Waters there in '06 heard the news on the way down - then Christy sings this at the end blew me away

[acseitaly]

Magical, very best !!

[jfkesq]

funny how the universe  allows you to stumble on something totally perfect, what a rendition of a great song....fantastic.

[deckieg]

This is a legendary Irish singer.. singing a legendary song.. with a legendary guitar player.. one word

Legend

[aoibhe]

great guitar playing, have heard better vocals

[jamesgrantfan]

Lovely version.

[jimmymath2005]

I prefer the pink floyd version, with david gilmour on vocals, true that christy is a legend in his own right, the magic was floyd and the psychedelic effect was lost..

[gerose64]

magnificent

[mbjacobs]

beautiful

[Helenfxx]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[draft6666]

keep on touring Christy......

[ronanhalpenny]

Outstanding, emotional and raw. Thank you for yet another beautiful contribution to music...

[ceciliamonsanto]

You got a fan in Coimbra and you'll never, ever guess how!... I love Pink Floyd, but you have been able to reach the deeply feeling of the meaning of the song in your version: You, Irish Shining Dimond!...

[sus1e]

Sublime.

[fanatikmuz]

Not bad.But ı prefer Pink Floyd or David Gilmour's version.

[foleyisgood]

goin to see them in clonmel CANT WAIT!!!

[bollix13]

It's a great song stripped right down to it's bare basics and performed by 2 of the best in the business.

Maith sibh Christy 'is Declan!!!

[redbiddy500]

fuckin excellent and i am a massive massive pink floyd fan.. this is a great job done of one of the best songs ever written.. it takes a man from kildare to do it of course.. get in the lillywhites!!!!!

[tomtiddler]

Great performance, cheers!

[radebrecht]

[sinner48]

[shantyman63]

Brilliant Christy ... absolutely BRILLIANT!!!

[802106139]

Absolutely wonderful, Sung and played perfect......

[africatwin07]

unexpected, but great.

[kookup8]

I prayed that this song would be included in the new CD, I new you could do it, you brought the song out of the dark and breathed life into the body of the words, which has rendered its soul, like a dove gliding on the warm west winds. Brilliant.

[gicstain]

hah

[bagelboy5]

was this a joke?

[Jacorner]

Are you joking? Or just plain stupid!!!

[gavindunne109]

west winds are cold

[sashakhan]

Ahhhhhh.

Christy - you've taken one of my favorite songs ever, and made it more bittersweet.

Excuse me - I think I have something in my eyes...

[RonanG]

Beautiful! Simply beautiful! Shine on Christy. May your light never dim.

Ronan

[ChunkyDude68]

A voice that sooths the soul!

[larflynn]

Pure Magic, it's beautiful.

[evolaine]
