This is a full song from the New York concert in June 2008. Shane MacGowan wrote this song for The Clancy Brothers, which they sadly never recorded. This is Liam's first recording of it, live at The Bitter End.

  • You could hear Ireland, its history, its pain, its joy and its people in the voice of Liam Clancy

  • Iv been a macgowan worshipper for about 15 yrs now, his songs have shaped my life and his lyrics mean so much to me! More than that my children now live in tipperary, about 5 miles from carney!....listening to that reduced me to tears...long live shane xx

  • way to make this about shane, a hole

  • i sat for a while at the cross at finnoe... i listen to this song almost every morning when im walking to school

  • Oh I love this so much - heart and soul - way to go, Shane and God Bless Liam Clancy xx

  • ok..... this isn't the official vid of The Broad Majestic Shannon, but I love this version :)

    Just notice he's changed the lyrics to mention Shane :) He has the same love for Shane MacGowan that everyone should

  • for shane scanlon from uncle Dan scanlon. enjoy it mate it could have been wrote for you, R.I.P. LIAM CLANCY your what being irish is all about..

  • I love how Liam changes 'Babe' to 'Shane.' It's the most beautiful interpretation of Shane's poetry I've ever heard!!! Shane then sings The Parting Glass. I love seeing Shane with the Irish greats, same as I love it when Billy Joe is recognized & acknowledged. Great poets should be acknowledged & celebrated--poetry is a medium of the people!!! The educated elite would patent it & dole it out in self-righteous crumbs if they could!!! Perhaps they are even working on yokes & bridles for us. . .

  • Love you shane; thankyou for the the soundtrack for my family. And thankyou Liam Noni (5th gen Aust but all Irish)

  • Still hard to believe he is gone! Where is the next Liam Clancy? He won't be auditioning for this years X Factor! Talent? Do they know the meaning of the word? Watch this video & they may get it!!! We miss you Liam!!!

  • @irishblood62 yeerrrrrrr

  • almost makes me cry.."dry your tears Shane, forget your fears Shane"
