[TheCityBoy310LA]

How can anyone dislike this??? Fools!



[MegaGreengod]

My Grandfather is currently on his death bed, so the hospice lady says. Now this song brings me such joy, such warmth in the heart that I'll bring a bucket down full of the Water at his feet. Tears. . .

[TheBrice777]

great song and great people, i loved everything about it

[Love2Scissor]

4 people obviously dont drink the water of life.

[BoudiccaBlanc]

"Traditional Irish wake" Paddy describes it perfectly!

[Jacklewis990]

I wonder which drop killed the poor ole devil the drink or the fall???

[BoudiccaBlanc]

@Jacklewis990

Don't know but uisce beatha  revived him xD

[nishaziggy]

[nishaziggy]

[Jonasthing]

I would totally be happy having mr Thomas Clancy read the entire novel!!

[jdowell362]

what do they say at the very end of the song? could never get it. im a horrible irishman for not knowing!

[Gnomleif]

@jdowell362 sounds like "how's your owl/ole one, game on"

[DandyLion662]

What a great version. And it explains the connection between the song and Joyce's novel. So sorry I can only give it one thumb up.

[tamony821]

Go on Tommy!!

[undeadcoax]

pure poetry!

[ThePete65]

BEST Bar in Phila. -And the Clancy bros cant get any better

[dangervich]

Very infamative, very rich in the soil of his story, Master Vinegar, Mister Vine!

A quibble: he mispronounces "imarginable." He says "imaginable." "Imarginable" has that wonderful recombinant technique Joyce loved: an imagination without margins = imarginable.

[mckee45]

[hanshotfirst1138]

So much fun.

[rossmcl177]

No disrespect to Robbie and Bobby, but the sound just isnt quite right, is it? There was only one line-up that really worked and that was Pat and Tom with Liam and Tommy.

[bradddtheimpaler]

Love the tune!  Love the sweaters! Love the Clancy Brothers!

[emremokoko]

I do not know how many bottles of alcohol I have consumed listening to these guys! I am afraid I will become an alcoholic because of Clancy brothers! (AND the beautiful Irish folk songs)

[OogleManiac]

@emremokoko What I learned about this song is you and I are NOT alcoholics we are just celebrating our Irish ancestors (:

[emremokoko]

@OogleManiac I'm just an honorary irishman :)

("honorary paddy" may be the term? ;))

[emremokoko]

i just love these guys!

They have great songs, they have a wonderful connection with the audience, and 4 guys singing together really captures the spirit of the songs better...

Great, they are so great.

[oracleofottawa]

The proper academic version! At my wake I want

my favorite poured on my body at the end of the "final hour" just to prove I am dead..And to my surprise you can do it! It is an ancient Irish tradition and it takes the gloom off for those that mourn you..Gulls, the gulls.....

[paladin313]

I was at the University of Maine where the Maine State theater resides. I could not get in, so MPBN, (East Maine PBS affiliate,) broadcast this live for those who could not get into that packed house. It was an awesome show.

[HaulAwayJoe]

What kind of banjo is Bobby playing in this video?

[shakeymcfly]

Looks like a Vega Pete Seeger with a clear plastic head.

[EviLM4nTis]

Did he play Clawhammer or 3-Finger Picking Style?!?

[HaulAwayJoe]

Gotta love the intro!
