The greatest words ever spoken, before one of the greatest bands even plays a note. Happy St. PADDY'S DAY to all from Boston Sláinte!

awesome rendition, this is the song I want played at my passing.

I would have love to have heard Thomas Clancy read the whole book.

I was there that evening for their concert and what a grand evening it was, I too perform these songs, but alas these boyos know how to deliver a song and story. And with these videos they live on for a new generation to discover. Slainte!

They don't make them like this anymore this reminds me of my dad and uncle. My uncle was always the story teller of the family. My uncle even ran the Irish echo paper in New York. Thanks for sharing this.

as long as your listening to the Clancy Brothers it doesnt matter how many bottles you have consumed; Im only 22 years young and these lads are a constant in my car playing and a constant in my life... My only regret is that I wasnt born 35 years earlier to see these lads live....

God bless the Clancy brothers and Tommy Makem. What a bunch of great entertainers. God bless Wilma Wade, librarian at Central High School in 1961 who turned me on to Tommy, the Clancys and Celtic music.

I was at the University of Maine where the Maine State theater resides. I could not get in, so MPBN, (East Maine PBS affiliate,) broadcast this live for those who could not get into that packed house. It was an awesome show.

i just love these guys! They have great songs, they have a wonderful connection with the audience, and 4 guys singing together really captures the spirit of the songs better... Great, they are so great.

them doing this as an audio book would of been awesomeness

His description of an Irish wake is the standard by which all other descriptions must be judged. Now when the gentleman starts reciting James Joyce, don't panic. You need to either be dead drunk or possess an IQ of about 500 to make sense of James Joyce. If you can, just sit back and watch and listen to that most lovely Irish brogue, its sound and cadence. It has been said that the Irish brogue is second in sweetness only to the sound of angels singing, so just watch and listen.

One of thing things I will always hold dear was when I got a chance to shake their hands in about '93 and say yours were the first songs I ever remember hearing. Hope it meant as much to them as it did to me.

Love the tune! Love the sweaters! Love the Clancy Brothers!

Such a great song 🤣🍻🍺

"Traditional Irish wake" Paddy describes it perfectly!

I love the clancy brothers

How can people dislike this

Something for the soul, just loved it,with thanks from Israel.

first time I got a few clues to Finnegans from this reading! All in all a brilliant performance

My Grandfather is currently on his death bed, so the hospice lady says. Now this song brings me such joy, such warmth in the heart that I'll bring a bucket down full of the Water at his feet. Tears. . .
