I already thought they NEEDED to play the Wild Rover, and weren't going to do it - but I had to wait til the very end. 😉 What a fantastic concert! When I was a young girl growing up in Hamburg, Germany, I saw the Dubliners busking in a subway station. I was immediately taken with them and stood and watched them for maybe an hour. I took one of their flyers, advertising which pubs they would be playing in and when. A few nights after, I dragged several of my brothers to one of those pubs to see them playing. That was over fifty years ago, and I've loved them ever since.
I attended a post concert party with them in the second half of the1960s. It was a wonderful honour and I still have the concert programme with what Ronnie Drew wrote on it in Gaelic.
John ´ s part that the Dubs stayed 50 years together is amazing. To be over 50 years 35 of 52 weeks on the road you will not reach without a great friendship.
Patsy is the best man to sing this song and in this video he says that Pete St. John wrote it for him in 1977. This song and Ferryman, also written by Pete St. John are best performed by Patsy.
They were or are all fantastic entertainers but John Sheahan is, I submit, the glue that kept them together. He's always there with a fiddle or a whistle - not intrusive, but bringing out the best and reinforcing the individual talents. There are, fortunately, one or two groups now who are keeping the joy of the songs alive but thank you, The Dubliners (in all your manifestations), for brightening my world.
The thing I appreciate most, at age 70, is how much each of those gentleman hurts while doing what they have done best for 50 years. Sitting hurts, getting up hurts, bending fingers hurts, vocal chords hurt, eyes hurt. But when they sing the hurt disappears.s
They do so much more than to "gently trace [their] signatures in air" - they trace them in hearts, souls and minds where they stay forever. Happy Easter, everyone! Enjoy the Spring.
I thank you so much for uploading this concert! The Dubliners are my favorite band and this record is more precious for it is Barney's last appearance. Thank you
fan for live ,from the late 60 till today, seen them several times live here in Holland first time in Leiden on a festival . now they are are fading away
Thanks so much for this upload! We were at the concert, in the second row. We spent a few days in Dublin during the TradFest and it was an amazing experience, with music all over town. This concert was "the icing on the cake", a fantastic night in the magnificent cathedral,
I was living in England from 2000 - 2001 and it was before I discovered this music. I deeply regret being so close at the time and just not knowing what I was missing .
Wir (mein Sohn Benjamin und ich) gingen jedes Jahr, kurz vor Weihnachten zum Konzert der Dubliners hier in Hamburg. Wir lieben diese wunderbaren Musiker und bedanken uns für diese schöne Aufnahme!
They had so much fun and they all enjoyed it. The Dubs never had an official agreement intern. They supported all members and their families until the final end.
Patsy gets stick from some Dubliners fans, but to me there's nothing offensive about his performance and he does a good job on songs such as Dicey Reilly, The Rare Auld Times, and The Ferryman (though that last song was one of his anyway)
Well this has been some paddys day in 2021 sober n still going since 1218 UK time tis morn good Craic ye don't need DRINK 5 hrs sleep n back at it harder by fuck al need THAT DRINK here we go Cheers yerself good men 🥂🍺🍾🎼🎶🤸♂️💃🤸♂️💃💥🎸❤👌👌💪💪 Happy paddys day y'all wherever yar it's no that far hey 🙌👐👌👐🙌👐☝️☝️☝️❤🎸🤸♂️💃🙋♂️
A great show!!! Does anyone know the name of the tune with church organ, pipes and strings? I just had goosebumps, what very rarely happens to me. If there should be only one song for my funeral, I guess it would be this one!!!
@@callumrichardson1528 To be really pedantic, it's Christ Church Cathedral (not Christchurch) But yes, it's a lovely piece which friends and I have been playing for a good while.
Patsy has absolute no timing in his singing. Impossible to join him synchronized. Either the chorus nor the rest of the band. Horrible choice after Paddy‘s retirement.
Patsy was the worst replacement ever! He is not able to sing synchron, he is a clown and always is joining in when Sean sings. Example 1st song „Mountain Dew“.
