[maxfrost68]

Anybody catch the part in the Scorsese/Dylan film "No Direction Home" (extras disc) where Liam, standing in a bar, sings a couple of verses of Girl From the North Country, gets a faraway look in his eyes, and says "I just love that song...".

God bless Liam, we shall never see his like again.

[halskjede]

Yes, Liam Clancy had a divine voice and had been a really great performer...

:(

[fella5]

Gorgeous.

[zen3131]

my goodness, what a beautiful version....

[claney01]

Last time I went looking for this song I found Dylan's performance in that faux log cabin with the log stove and all. It was a great piece. It seems that's been taken off you tube for whatever reason, which is a shame. Thank God Liam Clancy kept the truth going. RIP Liam. A true troubadour. Check out other videos of Liam Clancy, he was one in more than a million.

[brucefetter]

@claney01 Yes, that was an excellent video wasn't it? I want it back too

[RJLeffmann]

@brucefetter @claney01

There's at least one copy of that clip around at the moment: watch?v=lLEoAJJUv10

It was from a music feature in a Canadian TV-show called Quest.

How beautiful is this? Truly amazing! Sung so beautifully & with such solemnity!

[sregdoor]

Thanks for posting. This is great!

I love you Liam. and Will Forever!! You cant help but notice him living this song... how I would love to have been in his head and shared those memories with him. Liam sure knew how to paint a picture through his songs.. Ive yet to see another as breathtaking as he:D A pleasure to view, thank you!

[bouncedrealitycheck]

Miss this guy. A lot. I cant believe hes gone. I cant believe it.

Truly missed, my Sir. You are truly missed.

And may your family find solace in the fact that we grieve with all of you. We miss him so much. We all miss him so much.

Sorry, my fellow humans. Sorry for our condition. I wish we could live forever. Especially Liam. Especially him.

Who better to live forever?

Who better?

[Tessietots]

@bouncedrealitycheck I couldn't have said it better

[rlegear19]

Dylan called Liam the best ballad singer alive. ...... He was right.

[sumxhi]

A heartfelt performance of a beautiful song... guess you could say that was Liam Clancy's specialty. Thanks very much for sharing this!

[AoifeNiPhleiminn]

Ha I can't believe it, I just typed in 'Liam Clancy Bob Dylan' to see if there was any vids of them performing together and this came up, out of all dylan's thousands of songs this is my all time favourite. . . . such a coincidence :)

[sandinmyears1]

@AoifeNiPhleiminn - I typed in the same thing and found this song by both Dylan and Clancy. Haven't found them singing together.

[Rudipolt]

Fine song!

Thanks for Posting!

Aloha from Hawaii!

[kpnsevilla]

Every girl I've ever met has been from The North Country.

[rondiz100]

Farewell Dear Liam.......You Will be Missed.......But your Music and your Legacy will Live Forever...........

[ndorf152]

Magic! Thank´s Liam and Rest in Peace!

[gerbiljism]

A true gem... I was privileged to meet Liam once - in a bar (naturally...) at An Rinn, near Dungarvan, the night before Dylan played the Fleadh Mor at Tramore on 4th July 1993. Jimmy Crowley was performing in the bar, and Liam was down from his home in Carrick On Suir to see Bob. I was hoping that Bob would ask Liam on stage, but no such luck. (He didn't ask Van the Man or Joan Baez on stage either, although they were both waiting in the wings!) He will be sadly missed...

...R.I.P 4/12/09...the door is closed forever more, if indeed there ever was a door..(bob dylan 09)

[thesongsinger]

he opened doors for me, bless him for that

[irishlad2727]

Fantastic Paul. I never heard Liam sing that until now. I absolutely love this tune. Dylan released this tune in 1963 as a tribute to his former girlfriend. He borrowed some melody and lyrics from "Scarborough Fair" for aspect of the song. A fantastic tune and Liam Clancy does it such justice. Joe Cocker also does a great live version of this tune in his album "Mad dogs and Englishmen". I had the privelege of a personal performance form Liam before. He sang "The Dutchman" to me.

[rossmcl177]

" I had the privelege of a personal performance form Liam before. He sang "The Dutchman" to me. " Wow!!!!!!!

[irishlad2727]

Indeed he did. He had no guitar on him. But he did close his eyes and did a little air guitar which was nice. A beautiful voice. May he rest in peace.

[bollix13]

fair play to you, well put together vid

[thepumpdontwork]

A absolute gem. Thanks for posting.

[rondiz100]

Liam Clancy sings with so much emotion. Awesome, awesome singing. Had a hat like that before.......Wonder here it is now?. Old friend Andy Revilla gave it to me..........Wonder where he is now? Makes me sad

[maxfrost68]

My God, when he sings "she once was a true love of mine" and then shakes his head at 1:17, that just tears me up.

[MCM54]

Does anyone have his address?

[dplud]

He's easy to find now, but difficult to get to. Hopefully we'll all join him some day.

[brilliantone909]

i love dylan! and i love the clancy brothers, especially liam, he just seems like the coolest guy ever. great vid, thanks for posting

[oruaidh]

Wonderful, thanks for posting this. As many times as I've heard Liam sing, I've never heard him do this one. I love the song and this is now definitely my favourite version of it.

Ormy.

[fanchbrezoneg]

Yes that's correct. Have you seen the Martin Scorcese's movie "No Direction Home" ? Amazing !!!!

[MrJoangles]

My first entry on the tube.

I understand why Bob Dylan love this guy.

He is truly outstanding.

And it´s a lovely song.

Regards J O

One of the things, beyond raw talent, that has always made Liam Clancy so special, is his ability to immerse himself in the soul of a song, and give to us that magic. If you doubt me, look at Liam's face as he sings this. There may be "prettier" versions of this song out there, but I doubt you you'll find one with this special magic. Thank you for posting this!

[willysunday]

Thank you so much for posting this! Incredible! Now a favorite.....

willy

[goth1945]

watch his face. he's totally into this. and what a song, no matter which of them sings it. it's just as moving no matter which of them does it.

[pogues79]

Bob Dylan called him the greatest ballad singer he ever heard. I agree.

[bollix13]

Good job on this vid lad! Great sound quality

[jhunter34]

Good cover of this song. I think this is my favorite Dylan song.

[caja42]

wow this is deep. Very lovely rendition. This tune is my favorite of Dylans.

[linzscott]

@caja42 same! Big Dylan fan but I've always loved this the most. Not on youtube tho??? S'that about?

[keelungcw]

@caja42 Bob Dylan described him as the best ballad singer he's ever heard, and its obvious why

[HerrWinter87]

what a great singer!

[HaulAwayJoe]

Awesome! I love this song! Liam is great!

[cheerydavie]
