Luke Kelly Rocky Road To Dublin (Rare Version)

[irish30irish1]

this man is a legand himself and ronnie up there waiting for us all

[rebkev01]

I could listen to this over and over again. I am going to learn how to sing this song.

[VIKIRERUG]

pity how bands like Pouges and High Kings have thousands and millions of views.... I guess Luke will remain a hidden musical gem for the devoted! Long Live Luke Kelly!

[bigmarty11288]

@VIKIRERUG How is that a pity that the Pogues are popular? I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere! They're all good.

[VIKIRERUG]

@bigmarty11288 well sorry the Pogues can't hold a torch to good ol Luke Kelly. Granted I do rather enjoy some of the The Pogues. I was mostly noting that his talent is less well known, and it is a shame as it shadows the talent of other singers of Irish Folk, i.e. Pogues + High Kings ect...

[mcglobulon]

Luke Kelly Lives!

[InfraSensei]

God this is unbelievably good

[DellaCapo]

A legend!

[tradmadlad]

5 people got lost on the rocky road to dublin

[milhistbuff1]

[emmaloob]

Can't find music like this around here, so i spend alot of time on

you tube listening.

[foggyleg12]

Hi Kelly,

This recording is amazing. You really can hear the youthful enthusiasm in Luke's voice.

I have been trying to find the "TY for the Days" collection but haven't found it yet.

Please forgive me for bothering you but I must ask.

Can you please send a copy to my email? I would really, really appreciate it.

Also, how do I get that to you? Thank you So very much.

[kellyoneill]

@foggyleg12 Hi, I will send you a message, if you just reply to it with your email address, I will send you the album :)

[bolloxmcbolloxy]

[Ukul77]

Too soon gone. Excellent rendition.

[Fab4Sunrises]

About 1:18 - 1:21 you can really hear him grinning as he's singing :)

[IshtarCelt]

its Luke alright - his accent is broader in this one than other recordings

[alteye1]

I saw them in Galway back in time when i was a kid. Still love the dubliners, even though kelly's dead. rest in peace, fella

[problemchimp2]

jesus, what a beautiful singer. I live a few doors up from his family home and see his older brother every day. pure Dublin accent. makes me proud!!!

[Theroguesunit6]

lucky you i live in oregon

[irishgeal1]

the best thing about this version is the pure raw dublin in lukes accent, i am kildare meself but love any accent when it pure to its county.

[mixxxer1985]

i fuckin love this tune :-D

[Arvind7171]

Thank you sooooo sooooooooooooooo much kelly o'neill :)

[jcollins32]

This is clearly luke kelly!!!

[dohertn4]

This is not Luke Kelly in the version. It's someones Father. Suckers!

[aftermath842]

true! this is just some random guy. Very good though

[NolanBryanLynch]

No way. No one else can sing this song with as few breaths as Luke.

[Lincoln2000]

I don't know what is wrong with your ears, but if you have someone you should hear that this is obviously Luke Kelly.

If not it's maybe his twin which no one knows :O

[AngusGibsonT]

kellyoneill, I'd like to buy you a Guinness for putting this stuff on youtube...but in America, I'm a year underage. Turn 21 next January. :-(

[Juzz35]

Fantastic

[2MrLuka8]

I doo not usually listen too dies kind of music but who couldnt fell in love with dies kind of singing I am starting too listen often and often too dies music

[mathiasrodland]

@2MrLuka8 You really need to improve your english.

[cesnor]

@mathiasrodland Sorry to say but isn't English capitalised?

But ye', I agree, his English sucks!

[Lincoln2000]

dies means this ?

the real meaning of "dies" is still that someone is going to death.. My english is worst too, but this is of course something very basic..

If I write your sentence in the way I think it's right it would be written like that :

I usually don't listen to this kind of music but who wouldn't fell in love with this way of singing? I am starting to listen more and more to this music.

I'm not sure if there's everything right which I wrote (tense) but maybe more than your version..

[thegrellan]

such a beautiful version.. so clear and pure.. hon ballinasloe and the brogs

[radebrecht]

kellyoneill i'm your biggest fan now. you're a bloody god. frohe weihnachten from berlin or as yous say: Nollaig Shona Duit

[19Moira]

Great song, great Luke! We miss him so much.

[Pyrados1]

r.i.p lk

[ScottInVa1760]

Hearing this version is great for learning the song. It has some unusual inflections that are hard to pick up with instrumental accompaniment. Thanks, KellyOneill, for posting it.

[kellyoneill]

No Bother :)

[lfchero08]

@kellyoneill hey kelly sorry to bother you but cud you please send me the album as i love luke kelly and this song is amazing.. thank you :D

[ScottInVa1760]

No doubt it's Luke.  He had a unique style.

[gingusdan1]

Ah, trust Luke to be able to sing this so well! Love this, thanks for uploading.

RIP Luke Kelly, still mourned, even today.

[derekbrazier]

@gingusdan1 only too true!!!

[lfcmanfan5]

never mind the peaople that say its not luke .. ther just being tik ..

yu can tell its luke from every single word he sings ..

rest in piece luke

[flats1916]

are you's havin a laugh or what anybody could tell you this is luke 100%

[Jowelsy]

Is this really luke kelly? He doesn't sound as deep and powerful and he sings 'road' differently. Where'd you get it?

[kellyoneill]

yes, it is definitely with out a shadow of a doubt Luke. his voice got deeper over the years, this was in 60/61 so Luke was at best 20/21 years of age, It is taken from his very rare Cd called Thank You For The Days. I Managed to get hold of it about 4 years ago along with the VHS documentary.

[burlearth]

Years of smokin' & drinking.

[andybandini07]

is this bloke for real. of course this is luke kelly, listen to him belting out the lyrics, nobody can sing like him

[kellyoneill]

Amen :)

[scollinsireland]

This is not Luke Kelly, some other Dublin singer, very good.

[kellyoneill]

Nope! It's Luke.

[mihajlo96]

THIS IS LUKE!

[Anonimus1111011]

He sings and pronounces the words the same way Luke does.

[thecollaboratives]

Ah man it's the Paddy's cure you're listening to...

[Anonimus1111011]

No, it's the whole song

[thecollaboratives]

Yes, the whole song,sung by Luke. Right here.......

[085wayne]

[ARAGORN41]

you're a fuckin Idiot

[085wayne]

ure a retart this isnt luke kelly dont know who it is but its not luke.  he can sing though

[kellyoneill]

This is Luke.

There is no mistaking Lukes voice!

[Sarendil]

Nah, he just got someone else to sing it and put it on his CD as part of an evil ploy to take over the world. Dickhead.

[085wayne]

[oddrington]

This doesnt sound like Luke Kelly

[Thuglordrpt]

hes young in it

[almeisterg]

[forfeit82]

it sounds even more like Luke since Ronnie's rough-cough-voice is nowhere in the background. (no offense, I like both voices since they are so very much different)

[Weetikveelwelkenaam]

Why even bother putting a rating here, a five star vid, no question. Amazing how he sings this

[bflyte]

beautiful accapelo, where was this recorded?

[kellyoneill]

it was recorded in the very early 60's the cd however is nothing to do with the rest of the dubliners, as far as i know it was when he was still doing the english folk clubs with ian campbell.

(lol dont quote me on that though)

[jaytodt]
