3 Slip jigs - Planxty 1980

[kaizmorgan]

Christy's laugh is as great as his voice. I bet its contagious as all hell.

[2666ification]

fags

[sockymonster]

@2666ification yeah for sure total fags great call man. genius in fact.

[Garmin413]

Absolutely Brilliant

[breandan789]

The 3rd tune is not a slip jig ... it is a jig called The Yellow Wattle

[telecasterbear]

2:55=yum



[wflahie1]

They are transcending, I didn't want the music to stop. If I ever doubted I was Irish, I just found out that I truly am. Listening to them play is the music i hear in my heart of hearts.

God Bless ya!!!

[judedude74]

Awe....Irelasnds best...Simply fantatic



[HEADSUPBERKELEY]

2nd slip jig is HARDIMAN THE FIDDLER

[charlieteamrifleman]

choons

[QuantumPlenum]

Wonderful Stuff. Magical.

About 3 Minutes through sounds a lot like Banish Misfortune to me...

[FijiSurf99]

Christy looks a bit like Zach Galifianakis

[seaforthpiper]

That first chune sounds very like a Borders jig called "New Drops of Brandy" and probably is a variation of it.

[RadioNul]

@seaforthpiper

I've had this music stuffed down my throat for almost 30 years and it stil all sounds the same to me.

[hollyboo21]

@RadioNul When stuff is stuffed anywhere on any one, it's all just stuffing. When a subject & artform is introduced to a person in all it's various aspects & they're ecouraged to express their thoughts & emotions through performance, THEN they own the music, cos they know it & appreciate it. It's meaningful & useful to them, they even depend on it for escape & relaxation. It's the same with the Irish language & Catholicism. They got lost, cos they were enforced, & not taught honestly with spirit

[SuperBetty213]

@RadioNul Sorry your intro to what I find so not forced was insincere, the first time I heard this music I found a part of me that I thought had died in me as a child. Good lesson for me not to go gonzo if someone fails to find my particular tastes appealing, but glad some do just the same. Slan.

[seonidh]

god knows where is a reference to Andy Irvines parentage a scottish father and Irish mother.

[IRISHVERO]

GREAT.....

[EverybodyLovesAnto]

[MrJohnered]

[jirihozpodebrad23]

[electricrussell]

Donal is so New Wave 1980!

[Finbarheerlen]

It was in 1974 "my" recordshop told me he had something special for me. I listended to the first notes and I still know the feeling I had when I went home with "Cold blow and a rainy night". It was a treasure and Irish music has never left me during the rest of my life. Everythime I hear Planxty, the same feeling overwhelms me.

You've done a great job, showing people to the right music. Thanks a million!

[brznzzy]

@Finbarheerlen Couldnt have described it better,, fair play to ya Fionbarr.

[Timothydlol]

UNBELIEVABLE AHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHH

AHHHHHHHHHHH

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[rabbitshirt]

3:38-2:48 Warning: Ancient scary area.

[locomotive1804]

Hee hee hee, Andy Irvine is a Londoner!!!!!!!!

[locomotive1804]

I like the way Liam O'Flynn glances up at Dónal and Andy just before the last jig - ok, change gear now...

[dinty66]

I am a moore but I am far from prosperous my auld bud

[stevehyde]

christy moore! Deadly

[emncaity]

Anybody know what that last tune is? Danu follows "Uncle Rat" with it on one of their CDs...

[fuckallelsetodo]

BEJAYSUS-THAT'S MIGHTY ALTOGETHER.

[Drewhelen]

Love it!

[66gadus]

yes it's a Blarge - apparently stands for 'BLOODY LARGE'!

[RugbyHockeySoccer]

And leading the pace I should say aswell

[RugbyHockeySoccer]

Everyone is sweating, Liam utterly calm

[Donegaldan]

Liam O Flynn's uileann piping is scary, it speaks to the soul of any Irishman.

[cicocico1234]

@Donegaldan not only Irishman :)

[fartsandpoos]

skiddley aye dee dum. love a bit of skiddle!!!

[Celticwithakick]

wat is the man in blue with a red tie playing? is it a bouzouki?

[DaveGreenMusic]

It surely is.

[hhold]

Actually it's a blarge aka bouzouki large aka 10 string bouzouki

[MYABUTTREEKS]

You learn something everyday.

[edelahaye]

The man is the unique Donal Lunny himself...

[W0bbl344]

hahaha, evelist laugh at 1.32!!

[bruceleeC64]

Class post bilko1234

[shenaniganstv]

shamoan, pure liquid wonderment.

[wrongwayup]

Fantastic stuff.

[Banshun]

Just to let Christy know after these years, the other two tunes are Hardiman the Fiddler and The Yellow Wattle. ;)

[Dayepipes]

@Banshun Willy Clancy recorded with the 3rd tune as "Yellow Wattle." You can find it or a brief free sample on itunes searching under the title.

[Timothydlol]

i love their expressions while they play, utter confidence

[jlbianval]

¡Grandes! Gracias por compartirlo!.

[TomAJoad]

Thanks again Bilko for sharing your wonderful treasure!

Here's to your health!

[towerbayrecords]

The best band in the world! This groove is frightening.  And who else but Donal Lunny could get away with wearing a skinny red tie while playing a bouzouki (and a damn big one too).

[cajonbongo2007]

great stuff!!!

[happyasafool]

fantastic!!! ty

[kyle25rs]

wow such a nice set!

[b1l2g3]

This is absolute gold!! Thank you so much for posting this!!!

[dannyflad]

Great stuff! It's always great to see old Planxty clips. If I'm not mistaken the last of the three tunes is actually not a slip jig but a normal 6/8 jig. I seem to remember Kevin Burke playing it after "Dinny Delaney's" on his album "If The Cap Fits". I think it was listed as "The Yellow Wattle".

Thanks for the post.

[irelandofcourse]

Yea thats right

[liamevans]

@dannyflad You're dead right about the timing man, the first 2 are in 9/8, and the last is in 6/8. I'm not a muso, by the way, don't have a note in me head, but just doing the old 'tapping yer fingers' trick makes it very onbious.

[hswatnik]

Outstanding video, Thank you!
