Planxty The Starting Gate. Live 2004

[CastletoKarma]

MuzikSuite, I've it on now and listening to it all over again - magic stuff.

[MuzikSuite]

What a buzz just listening to that.

[CastletoKarma]

Have just listened to a great 1983 (!) recording of Arthur McBride - brill!

I see my posting up above still. I still recall at about two minutes in Liam's pipes cranking up and they stole glances at each other as we all gave them back the vibe, 'Planxty are back' at the sound of Liams pipes.

[Fionnuala1969]

lol.. I love how Christy requests that the sound be turned up for Liam.. hee hee..

[odeamusic]

excellent!!

[Hughesybhoy]

Simply class, you can travel all over the World and you will never hear music more enchanting than traditional Irish, this fills me with pride to be a son of Eire.

[divle123]

pure and utter magic...

[ahgoodmorning]

I'm Irish living in Iceland and just want to say

Bara Irskur - frabaert tonlist.

Which to the best of my knowledge means - Just Irish - fantastic sounds

[miggydscho]

I love it, when at 2:05 the pipes begin to sound...goosebumps everywhere!!!!

[fannymcslap]

Jesus those pipes get me every time.

[vaginawarrior1]

[drgabrielsoileau]

It's magic when the bodrahn finally comes in!

[PUDGIE62]

Saw them in the Whitworth hall in Drogheda ,circa.... back in the day ...SWEET

[301250]

Amazing playing of the tin whistle...simply ethereal. Planxty is in a class of its own. Love their music as I do the Chieftains'. sd goh (malaysia)

[CastletoKarma]

I see someone's uploaded the 'real' Raggle Taggle Gypsy from the 'Planxty' LP, I dont like the rehashed vesrion from the 2002 reunion gig.

[ohisashiburi]

Pure brilliance 'entwined emotions run wild'

[ohisashiburi]

Incredible! True craftsmen at work...it's a Gaelic Jam...Well done Ireland

[Naarling]

[AlistairGooch]

[snorhoofd]

[timytoad]

@snorhoofd I just bought a penny whistle

[CastletoKarma]

I was at this gig, sitting up at the front. A great moment was when we could hear Liam Og cranking up the pipes in this tune and once again, we got the great Planxty sound coming through. The vibe from the crowd was fab and I recall the great quartet looking at each other as they got the vibes.

A great night, Planxty abu!

Nothing to beat them. I saw & heard them first in 1972.

[friticas]

@CastletoKarma u bastad id v killed 2 c that live!! epic stuff!!!!

[ShazamVanBane]

@CastletoKarma I found this being shared online, the album of this, but there are 18 tracks, the last three are not titled and not listed in the albums online, and there are two different labels, amazon says phantom and discogs says sony. what is going on? they shouldn't have given this live showing such a vague title.

[ShazamVanBane]

@CastletoKarma Oh nevermind, I just found out, the tracks are divided into "chapters", how stupid

[ViniciusLokaoo]

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
