His playing style had changed soo much between when MF originally recorded Danny Boy and this concert in 2002. I'm really suprised he elected to perform the tune. It's a blessing to hear him go for it one more time this late in his career.

So he may have lost a little control with advancing age ... but try finding another guy in his SEVENTIES who can a blow a double C like THAT!

@92cervus82 most guys don't play at all that late in their life. The boss really was impressive...

sad to see how much control he had lost over the years,

WOW !!!!! :)

The ending after the double c that goes down to the low F# that he skipped looked to be a very uncomfortable moment though
