[senomad]

This song was played at my uncles funeral on friday.. He was a big fan of planxty..

[jvsm1971]

Exceptional music!!! 

[lart1990]

goosebumbs every time i hear that change

[ElrodPSquirrel]

Donal on bouzouki, Andy Irvine on mandolin(a Portuguese model).

[butterslacks109]

Donal Lunny was the guy playing the mandolin am I right

[davesledgehammer]

@butterslacks109 Donal is the guy on the far end playing left-handed, in the striped jumper.

[KirstenShiel]

My uncle used to play this music for me when I was very, very young and I used to draw pictures as cassette case covers for his collections. This brings back very fond memories.

[DaiReborn]

Hi, we're the raggle taggle gypsies, mind if we bone your wife? It's just that I'm so much more sexy than you, I think she'd be pleased.

[sowathable]

if their were a rock band ...they would be called the beatles

[rayggallagher1974]

Superb switch between tunes; you can hear 'Tab..' coming in minutes before it does.

[tiranuir]

Massive, the definitive version! The pleasure they get from it is so evident, maestros all.

[CastletoKarma]

2:32 is when a huge (remarkably huge) number of people heard material almost never heard of before. We including myself just didnt know what we were hearing after the great ballad uileann pipes coming to play the 'Tabhair Dom Do Lamh' melody. It was something special to us who heard it. Listen to the audience applause at about 2:42 - astonishing stuff. See Philip King's sleeve notes on the 2004 reunion DVD - great stuff only he can say it.

[thefunnyfecker]

3.18  is for Ireland. The real Irish will save Ireland

[CastletoKarma]

I prefer this version than the 2004 'live' edition.

[CastletoKarma]

Great stuff!

Timeless!

[LiaSarah91]

thanks so much for posting

[bronterre]

@bigfellalixnaw I'm an English person and I've loved this ever since I heard it; so would anyone with any feeling for music. As another commenter said: "that's what God created music for" (thank you Google translate). I don't believe in God but I believe in that music.

[bigfellalixnaw]

WHO DISLIKED THIS? I looked upon the like/dislike bar and to my disgust I saw one dislike. Youtube should really consider getting rid of the dislike button on this video.

[fir3mandan]

@bigfellalixnaw I'm with you mate, you'd have to be deaf to dislike this!

[levediagyermeke]

@bigfellalixnawably I tell you the answer. Probably those who ever heard the Scafell Pike version.....

[KITCHENOFDISTINCTION]

What a posting...many thanks, I love Planxty & especially Christy Moore.

[OrlopRat42]

At 2:39, after a moment of being stunned by the magic, you can hear the audience react with wonder and joy. Sin é an fáth a thug Dia dúinn ceol.

[gracchusbb]

mythique...

[bigfellalixnaw]

Cé ata ag seinnt na píobaí uilleann, an bhfuil a fhios ag éinne?

- who's playing the uilleann pipes?

[mcguigan54]

@bigfellalixnaw Liam Og O'Flynn

[bigfellalixnaw]

@mcguigan54 Go raibh maith agat.

@mistermonopoly1 who can hate it? it's just wonderful!

[bigfellalixnaw]

@L2GB An english person? Maybe I'm wrong now.

[pjotr60dvd]

I was just 13 when I first heard this music. I had never heard such great sound before. Still enchants me today... 

[hydfawr]

Just Fantastic!! Good luck to all you Planxty people

[shonuffido]

Have loved Planxty and all the classic Irish stuff from this era. Spent many an hour drinking in Digbeth but being Birmingham born never understood why I have a love for the Irish. Two years ago whilst researching the family tree, I discovered my great grandmother was Irish born. Its amazing what those genes must contain : )

[drgabrielsoileau]

Liam'OFlynn from planxty

and Paddy Keenan from the Bothy the band are my two favorite irish pipers!

It's hard to decide between them!

[creggane87]

This is possibly the best link on youtube

[thelash1000]

I fucken hate brian cowan

[EZEEKEEL]

Rare to find talent that comes even close to this anymore.

[Gardoggle]

go h-álainn

[mkobrowski]

I just listened to the 2004 live video, and now this old one. I think all sound a bit different, except Liam, who is pretty much exactly the same - amazing. Christy is magic, but I think he in this video he tried to hard, I like his voice better now.

[northernhecklet]

It's supposedly an English/Scottish borders song - likely to be Scottish - not that it's important. This has been a standard in England, Scotland and probably Ireland for a 100 years or more. This is a fine version btw

[Badooroo]

Its not actuallly an Irish song. Its English.

[JimiRhodes]

@Badooroo Its scottish. The song tells of a lady living in comfort and leisure who absconds with the gypsies. The event is thought to have been an actual one.

[bigfellalixnaw]

@Badooroo so? Dala an sceil is amhran Albanach e, ni Sasanach.

[AlternateTunerDotCom]

Liam is fantastic as usual. Donal's cheeky grin. Andy's intensity. And Christy's magic. Great stuff.

Flares and hair!

[hollyboo21]

@AlternateTunerDotCom.........­.Flares and Hair Indeed. And slim Hips All Round- The Lads Were Surely The Thinnest They've Ever Been In That Vid!!

[bgboots]

christy at his sweaty best

[Frostybox1]

Irvine is amazing

[lunafirma]

this is my favorite version of all time

[spectrum99122]

Listen, look and make no mistake...... you are listening to a little bit of musical magic.

Can you hear magic?

[bigfellalixnaw]

Tabhair dom do laimh, an hiontach nach aontann sibh liom? Is brea liom an phairt ag 2:34.

[niallgillick]

THE BEST IRISH BAND EVER

[bigfellalixnaw]

[malachy1847]

@burkardheike Feck it Christy looks better now than he did way back then....I saw them in 'The Ulster Hall Belfast' around this time, massive it was great the came up... they played 'Only Our Rivers Run Free' you could hear a pin drop........
