The definitive version (on video) was his 1977 version (same show he did the definitive version of Arthur McBride) but this is quite immaculate in itself. I love how open and airy (breathy) he makes this version. The 1977 version was tighter as if him remembering the events were more recent, this version with its looseness suggests more of a broader reflection by an older man a number of years removed from the situation. Both brilliant and emotional pieces that fit together so well!

It's brilliant but the sound and picture go out of synch just before the end. A pity because it would have been perfect!

Don't know why Paul hasn't been more widly recongnized here in the States as one of the great singer/songwriters of modern times. His voice is angelic, his guitar playing is beautiful, syncapated, and advanced, he has an inate ability to improvise. Nice to get a bird's eye view at how he plays this beautiful tune!

Saw this for first time on BBC4 last night. Fantastic version of a story song - like many artist, best work is solo, without distractions.

@MultiGeraghty glad to hear that, sounds like a good gig. But I can brag myself I saw Andy Irvine a bit ago...would have loved to hear the two together.

@MrCopperhead1861 The greatest "pick-up" line ever written... "If it wasn't for the alligators, I'd sleep out in the woods"!!

Paul is not dead...he is alive and well...and hopefully it will be a long, long time before we must discuss his death

The Man from Strabane is one of the jewels in the crown of Irish culture: a world-class guitarist, singer, lyricist and musical archivist. He string-bends with his pinkie on a Lowden acoustic! (albeit on the top E string): have you any idea the hand strength that takes? Paul Brady is our modern-day Paddy Tunney. We should respect and admire him for everything he has done for Irish music these past forty years.
