Irish Rovers-Drunken Sailor

[robtuohy1]

I think this was recorded at Ontario Place. He does mention, Exhibtion Stadium, when he says, "They will hear us all to the ball game and everywhere else"... We all miss Jimmy Ferguson.

@johncena30100 i don't drink and I still love it

[Xxcom9a]

The "actual" song starts at 2:18 for those who want to skip the first part.

[LadyScorpio39]

I think Will Millar, the guy with the hat, is sooooo CUTE!!!!!

does anyone know what year this concert was? and if its available on DVD?

[NAAWbLoneWolfWoman]

@LadyScorpio39 Hi Lady Scorpio, I used to embroider Will's shirts in the 70's and 80's and this clip looks from about the middle 1970's. Don't know if available on DVD, but probably not.

[LadyScorpio39]

@NAAWbLoneWolfWoman

Four people should have their belly shaved with a rusty razor.

[amber69babe]

"May your house be free from rent."

Hear that Landlords? meet the Irish demands!

[AH1Tsupercobra]

I remember these guys from a long time ago. Nice.

[TheNodeKillProtocol]

THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING!



[GiraffeFtw]

i like the irish "early"

[starwarshippie]

I'm guessing the Poland referance was about John Paul II's famous visit to Poland

[SacredAngel80]

Värme i blodet =O))))

[alyruddy10]

always a good video to watch to make you feel all happy inside :)

[Boombox1967]

I saw these guys in concert back in the eighties when I was 13!!

[sewerrod]

Jew and George

[ronaldweasleyfan55]

at 3:19 you can see some jack ass in a yellow shirt who isn't singing. Way to ruin the moment!

[shortstuffhere]

I wish the Irish Rover still came on TV, I wonder if they will ever play reruns of the show. I sure wish they would.

[scdarknight]

I wish they were still around.

[Plombius]

Fucking cool!

What shall we do?

[hellerZauberer]

@Plombius Shave his belly, then put him in a long boat with the captain's daughter of course!

[St4rdog]

Sounds like Patrick Kielty...

[Coupal1]

Fabulous! I saw them live a long time ago. Real true show-men.

[PiphALaMode]

One person is a drunken sailor.

[loyolean]

hope my host is free from rent some day.. lovely showmanship.. amazing music..

[abc1000001]

My sister taped this on audio cassette. I still have it.

[Brekner]

they missed some lyrics

Stick him in a barrel with a hosepipe on him,

Stick him in a barrel with a hosepipe on him,

Stick him in a barrel with a hosepipe on him,

Early in the morning!

[SBirish1974]

Actually, they were all born and raised in Ireland, but came together as a band in Canada.

[kevin652010]

What a bunch of boneheads. I am sure every generation laments the loss of brain-cells that don't seem to make it to the wee ones. Still, I love playing this song. All ramped up on electric distortion, it's every punk-hippies, dream shanty. I'm from San Francisco and the Barbary Coast says, Way-Hey!!!-Up She Rises!!!!

[HasmikAsatrian]

it's awesome) 59 likes, and no dislikes!

<3 Irish Rovers! 

[azmudacantero]

Peace and Love Ireland!

[zoranzo117]

2:38 he laughs lol it sounds weird

[mattckelly1]

Thanks for posting!!

[tytesia]

looks like this concert was at the "Forum". I liked the Forum cause the stage revolved. The Ampitheatre as it's called now is awesome, it's great to watch concerts outside when the weathers nice. My mom used to watch The Irish Rovers show all the time.................brings back memories

[stuzel3]

Was this concert at the "Forum" at Ontario Place in Toronto which would now be considered the Ampitheatre?....what year? and where are they ( the I.R.) from somewhere in Ontario?...... Oh Yaaa happy St. pats day!!!!!

[abc1000001]

@stuzel3 Yes, it was at the forum, how I know is that I remember when it was on television live. This is a good 33 years ago I believe. Not exactly sure but I know ti was the late 70's.

[mariaspencerfied]

Irish Motown Soul? Really, now, Will, Detroit's in bad shape, but you don't have to mock it, lol. Joke taken in good will.

[SeeYouFoolsInHell]

wow, love it!

[IrishLincoln]

A peaceful UNITED Ireland....one day

[kingsteve55]

@IrishLincoln I only wish it was peaceful and united NOW. We need to stop fighting and start loving.

[Fusion2222]

@IrishLincoln ireland is not united now?

[IrishLincoln]

@Fusion2222

What rock have you been living under? No, there is the Republic of Ireland and then there is Northern Ireland (British rule). Look p "Ireland 1916" and then read from there.

[Fusion2222]

@IrishLincoln ye, but that is called NORTHERN IRELAND, technicaly, it is still ireland or not?

[IrishLincoln]

@Fusion2222

Northern Ireland is under British control = different laws, money, policies, etc = different nation )considered part of Britain when it should be UNITED with the Republic of Ireland, which is on the same island and historically shold be one united island nation, but it isn't).

Tiocfaidh ár lá !

[Fusion2222]

@IrishLincoln and people there are britain guys? or they are irish? i guess if they are irish there they would be join ideland long ago, or ..?

[DaJbrahs]

@Fusion2222 actually, believe it or not, their canadian.

[340shorty]

i just realized great big sea took a couple songs from these guys

[charltonian]

They were great to see in concert. I think their version of Canadian Railroad Trilogy is very special.

[jdarrenfan]

I love the Irish Rovers. What year was this from.

[sabonim1979]

@jdarrenfan gonna go with 70's based on chothing that looks like my dads

[Hoosiercorporal]

Will Millar truly has a smile in his voice; I think he is a very old soul. Jimmy Ferguson was a typical jolly fat man; too bad he's no longer with us. George and Joe Millar added their important parts to the group, too. What a wonderful combination they were -- still performing, too, although Will has gone out on his own.

[jobax33]

[Snorjin]

Thanks for uploadning these ones ;) Marvelous.
