Liam Clancy Live at The Olympia, Dublin Ireland 1992 

Just watched this right through from start to finish, with a few Guinness, and it makes me proud to be Irish!! God Bless!!

No smoke, no thunder, no flashing of lights, no stageshow with people jumping around... Just a superb performance of music that goes right to your heart and stays with you long past the concert. Thanks for sharring, Liam is just great.

A poet, a brilliant voice to recite poetry, and a great storyteller, but above all, a great singer!

my brothers and i have been singing irish folk music for 50 years ,,, inspired by the clancy bros and tommy makem ... got to open for liam several times back in the 70s ... thrill of a lifetime when liam picked up his concertina to play "fiddlers green " ... he turned to me sitting by the side of the stage and said " grab the guitar and back me up here " ... i did so and sang lustfully on the chorus ... i'll never forget that !!!

I'm 73 and have been a diehard country music fan forever, but all I been listening to since I found The Clancy's and Tommy Makem is Irish music. This music has awakened something in me that I can not explain. I listen to it day and night, yes it is on even while I am asleep. Thank You for this beautiful music.

Never been so moved by a musician, the passion that he has for the music is beautiful to watch. He was (still is) the finest singer I’ve ever heard. I was at a pogues gig when I found out that he’d passed away. Shane mumbled something along the lines of “this one’s for Liam Clancy, god rest his soul” before launching in to the Irish rover. Didn’t know whether to dance or cry, so I just did both. What a man

Liam was just untouchable, a genre all of his own.

Growing up in an Irish home in the ‘60’s & ‘70’s The Clancy’s were as much a part of our upbringing as Friday confession & 10 pounds of mashed potatoes with every dinner☘️ So good to hear so many of their old great songs. ☘️Up TiPP☘️

What a master! What a master! What a joy-giving, joy-sharing, absolute master !!

What a treasure we had in Liam Glad I grew up listening to him and still listing to him to this day

Gosh, never knew Liam played the bodhran - great memories of my beloved bruv with that, don't see enough. Also adore Liam's use, quotation and love of language - keeping alive the oral tradition

What a performance. Liam Clancy, you are tremendous. Thank you. I wish I had been there.

Martin Murray on the fiddle. Pure class. Liam Clancy is unmatched.

Bob Dylan is on record as saying Liam Clancy was the best folk singer he ever heard.

What absolute "eedjits" would give this a thumbs down? Absolutely amazing.

I also grew up listening to the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. I now have all my Mom’s albums. Absolutely love them,

Love Liam Clancy , grew up listening to the Clancy Brothers

Thank you for this upload - it’s like unexpectedly coming across the gold at the end of the rainbow and just what I needed right now!

Thank you!!! Liam Clancy's voice is what dragged me into Irish music as a teenager. I also came for one song but now I'm stuck...!!! Thanks so much.

Go with God Liam. Thanks for the memories

The only way I could describe this icon is to say he made love to his audience…slowly sometimes, sensitively, deeply, sometimes robustly shall we say but ALWAYS with passion. Liam brought us right into the story he was telling, letting us borrow his eyes to see what he wanted us to see from his point of view which was always from his heart. “We shall not look upon his like again.”

The look on Liam"s face as he sings And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda is so passionate. Rest in peace Liam Clancy.

Conor: Just discovered your wonderful upload of Liam, one of the truly great balladeers of the 20th century. I remember following the Clancy Brothers back in the 60's when they were the hottest thing going in the Greenwich Village folk scene. Bob Dylan once commented that the best singer of this sort of music he had ever encountered was Liam Clancy. What a great tribute. The Ballad of St. Anne's Reel has always been one of my favorites but this is the first time I have heard Liam sing it. Wonderful Stuff. Pay no attention to the mean spirited comments about Burns. Great poets and poetry know no nationality. Regards, Doug Owen.

Liam Clancy was amazing in many ways - his capacity to go from passion to tenderness almost cannot be equaled except perhaps by Tommy Makem. But as a singer, for me it's two things: his diction, clear as a bell, I can hear and understand every word - the words are the story. To be a great balladeer, the singer must make them heard or we lose the story. And his intense, genuine feeling, especially tenderness in his singing. "The Dutchman" is almost overwhelming in the feeling of tenderness he gives it - brings tears. Liam Clancy was the best - and also as a human being. Bob Dylan said in an interview that Liam used to say to him (after multiple pints drunk): "No fear. No enemies. No meanness." That was Liam.

Liam is a history book of knowledge sorry we lost him rip Liam.

Thank you so much for uploading, that was just beyond beautiful. I came to listen to one song, and stayed for the rest.

What a tremendous performance and blessing to have it available here. So nice to have such a range of human experiences represented here.

Liam Clancy-a legend! Great show!

Liam seems like he really enjoyed singing/entertaining. Believe it or not I have a little kitty, about a year old and she will get up close to my pc and watch and listen to Liam, she also loves Tommy Makem

Incredible performer. One of the greatest.

that's what music is supposed to be like,wonderful

Thank you conor for putting this up i really enjoyed it and brought back memories that Made me smile

I can't believe I'm hearing Liam Clancy cover a Stan Rogers song. Absolutely wicked.

I tried to ‘jig’ with friends one evening- thought I was going to die!!!! Wonderful music. ... stephenx

What an absolute genius of pure balladeer/folk entertainment. Attended one of his performances with Tommy Mackem in the late seventies. Their banter and slagging with each other, mixed with ballad, is still vivid in my memory. I still know most of their performances (songs) off by heart. He was rightly credited for his performances by Bob Dylan.

Thank you for posting this beautiful performance . I have had the pleasure of this ,show many times .

Great memories of a brilliant balladeer

Liam and Tommy Makem toured together for a while. They were fantastic together

Such lively energy inside him Such happiness in his face Great stuff Liam Your amazing

Brilliant. No more needs to be said.

Best RU-vid post ever. Thank you.

Sentiment,nostalgia,plaisir and appreciation for an allrounder who,s unfortunately no more.

I love this so much. It just can’t be done without a good fiddler.

I love Liam Clancy "May we never die."

Rise again

Beautiful. Liam Clancy was my Father's favorite.

Rest in peace, Liam Clancy...

Absolutely brilliant ❤️❤️❤️

Such a wonderful voice, and a great ear for singer-songwriters... making them all at least a little Irish (and leaving some folks thinking the songs are by that guy "trad/anon")... Ballad of St. Anne's Reel and The Garden Song by David Mallett of Maine, All God's Critters and Roseville Fair by Bill Staines of New Hampshire, The Dutchman by Michael Peter Smith of Chicago, a couple by Ewan McColl & Robert Burns, Stan Rogers' Mary Ellen Carter, Eric Bogle's "The Band Played...," and maybe a couple I missed. Go find the originals too! Buy their records, especially if they're still alive like David, Bill, Michael and Eric.

He's doing the Highway men filling big boots our Liam. 🇮🇪

Absolutely fantastic hooray

I love this song i love Liam Clancy i love his Shakesapre hus music is all my Favourite
