Horslips play 'King of the Fairies' on the rooftop of The Bank of Ireland HQ on Baggot St in 1976 - 7 years after The Beatles did their last public performance on the roof of the Apple Building in London

I'm sorry they are miming, I heard the cymbal at 1:20 but he didn't hit it.

NO BETTER IRISH BAND EVER

Considering this is the same band that recorded the completely up-front Fab Four pastiche 'Beatles Come Back', I'm not sure why people are getting wound up about the 'imitation' thing. They were a brilliant band *and* they were having a lark. Nothing wrong with that...

why are the beatles treated so tenderly? sorry to offend everyone-but perhaps THEY are over rated,
-
guy at the start is a twat,hes talking about the best irish band ever and hes more concerned about the municipal gasometer

I can assure you they won't be "miming" as you put it in the O2 on the 4th Dec. As for being naive as you state I used to work in this field and all soundtracks are normally laid after the video is shot and this is no different. However Horslips did play this song "live" even though it would have sounded somewhat different to what you hear. I have a friend who was a sound engineer when they played and he told me.

@enyrb -What the man is referring to is that The Beatles recorded a video of their song "Get Back" while on the rooftop of the Apple HQ building. Then later, Horslips recorded a video of their song "King of the Fairies" while on the rooftop of the Bank of Ireland. That's what he means by imitating them. I don't think its a big deal just because two separate bands played on rooftops in two different countries. Who came up with that title "imitates the Beatles" anyway? Cool video.

he's boring at the end ttoo

People had a thing wid rooftops in those days ?
-
...and to think all these years later Horslips are still going strong and the Bank Of Ireland is sadly no more...well only the bit we own....

Hope Charles drank deep of the very very dodgy UTV performance of Guests of the Nation. He was pulling some strange shapes......

It's wonderful to see this stuff back on again - what happened? Why did it disappear?
Bless you for bringing it back!

In my previous incanation I was banned due to the uploading of TG4 video footage that they objected to. After the third strike I was out and all the videos I uploaded were removed. Same could happen anytime soon.
