I wish they had a video recording of Glastonbury 1986! I was there too and it was a first-time mind blowing experience with the Waterboys music filling the air magically.....and there must of been about 80,000 people out on the farm field....just lovely the Glastonbury experience. thankyou to all responsible for that!
I once told someone this song told the differnces between optimism and pessimism, how one person who tthinks they were so wise never really saw "the whole of the moon" that came with imagination and dreams, thus never really lived....was I right, or just my take on the song....?
@kxseventy3 ...one of the all time irish classics,up there with whiskey in the jar,pride and teenage kicks.....great band,amazing lyrics..in my top 10 of all time favourite songs.
I wanted to say "Please COME to Geneva!" Found out the other day that they are!!! 21st October!!! Ah cannae wait!! Saw them 3 times way back in the late 80s in Glasgow, Scotland!!! I'm delirious tonight!!

I saw them blow the crowd away at glastonbury in 1989. sweltering weather, scrumpy & loads of 'weird folk' like the mutoid waste company.
what a scene. this bring back great memories. thanks for sharing!!

Its nice to see mike jigging around onstage without a guitar, it makes a pleasant change. He's a beautiful man.
