Andy Irvine:Arthur McBride

[surfandtradpcm]

Andy is a pure genius and that's all that can be said. Love the new version especially the harmonica video is great.

This sounds like the Planxty CD jumping in the player...still pure class.

I dont like this version at all...way too fast and busy for me.

I loved Andy's intro.

I can't think of another musician,in modern times, who would apologize to his audience for saying the word "Shite".

It is not like he said **** or even ****!!.

As an aside,I've noticed more and more Kiwi's using that word now.

It is a (delayed) birthright for many of us!.

Saw Andy at Wadebridge on Sunday.

A total legend.

Dylan can lick both Andy's and Townes Van Zandt's boots and fuck off!!!

Very different from his Planxty version!!

@bollix13

Not really all that different, just faster, the basic melody and chord progression is the same. For a different version, take a peek at Paul Brady playing it. Like a completely different song.

Yeah, I know the version you're talking about... I'm a fan of Andy Irvine, Paul Brady, Planxty, etc (all the Irish folk faves) and play a bit of folk music myself....

I've seen Andy twice and Planxty twice - this is the first time I've heard him play this speeded arrangement with the stuttered strums... it was quite different from any of his other performances-solo or with Planxty!!

[MrCopperhead1861]

Both good for their own reasons. :)

[flatw00d]

That's because that was Paul's version.

So many versions so little time.Dylan is an Andy wannabe.....hahahahahaha
