Black 47 on David Letterman

[m4271756]

Give us "The Boxer" or better still, "Traveling People" With that boom-boom bass drum entrance, and Pierce's intro on a "Moog" . Bell's Bliss. !

[AllredQA]

What year was this? Dave looks a little younger here.

[Terra812]

@AllredQA Fire of Freedom came out in 1993

[MyLatestEscape]

Ahahahaha, OMG, I remember that 80's haircut!

Great band, I've seen them all over NYC.

[JeepersCreepersJJP]

@MyLatestEscape ....if you take a listen to Dexys Midnight Runners or the Bureau, you'll hear where they stole their ideas from. Probably because Jeff Blyth is in the band.

[norwayreport]

Just love it! Despite the questionable video work by Letterman's show's video team. But, then, once you see the NRK teams 'do' band footage, you understand why they win many awards for their composition, control and variety. Just wish you could get yourselves invited to Norway so 'we' - NRK - could show you off. Happy trails.

[rockythecat1]

This group should have gone a lot further

[sqwank2]

Fun tune. Sound great! Nice to see ya Hammy......

[TomandaustinRV]

It sucks these guys aren't super famous. they're great.

[imamyt1]

fak off dees goys r the shite!

rock on nyc mik boyz

[xoxodeadxoxo1]

I love these guys. So much.

I always laugh when I see him sing, 'cos he definitely doesn't look the way his voice sounds... it's a shock, but a good one.

Plus he can crack a good joke.

[Thuglordrpt]

These guys are a joke, playing the racist ''typical Irish lazy drunk'' card. I went red with embarrassment.

You wouldnt see an african american band singing ''hey bitch, im sorry, ill go off the crack and chicken wings and even stop get my lips size reduced''. LAME>>>>>>>>>>

[padraicohare]

Sober up you fucking mic!

[JohnCronin87]

have you ever heard of rap?

[FMWCelt]

Says the guy who's screenname is ThugLordrpt and uploads IRA videos on to youtube...

[24thStDJ]

Black 47 used to play at McGee's pub right next to Letterman's show ... looking forward to their St Patty's Day show at BB Kings here in NYC!!

[NekedRooster]

Nice...But there's nothing like seeing them live at Paddy Reilly's with my boys Healy and Delaney dancing and drinking gallons of foam!

[JohnCronin103]

They still play at Paddys? Every saturday?

[NekedRooster]

I don't believe they do. I saw them there back in '95. After the Guinness music festival they came back and played to the wee hours of the morning. It was a great night!

[eddiemetall]

This was my first Black 47 song. How many years is it now? God, Larry looks so young on this one and he must have been about, like, 39....

[susantyrellfan]

On my way over to see them tonight at Durty Nellie's in Palatine, IL.

[jeremykelly88]
