Luke Kelly The Town I Loved So Well

How great Luke was - you can hear it all in this song. So much empathy. It is a "shut up and listen" song!

Hearing him sing with such force makes me feel, even at my size, like a cowering child faced with the epithamy of power.

where and when was this recorded? is it on the US tour?

this is probably the best singer ireland has ever had ,long live his legacy may he rest in peace .

Awesome, Kelly's talent is unique, simply stunning, easily the greatest male vocalist Ireland has ever produced.
The Man Is A Genius...I have no doub't about that....It's a bit late now but I'd loved to have met the guy...His legacy will live forever...Patrick (Ireland)

1974.

great song

But the truths that many a irish man have song is that even no that times seem to change, Ireland and especially derry that ppls attitude wont change, as much as i can say for myself, Ireland i will never see again and i've only myself to blame for that, bitter i stil am.

Luke...master of many things..including tempo.......i love the violinist....but on this occasion I feel he's hurrying Luke

"the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher", when he sings that line my heart starts racing, such passion in one voice. Great version of this classic, pity there was no live recording of song for ireland
