First time I ever heard this song was in a local South Boston Pub my Dad and GrandPa drank in about 65 years ago!!! Still LOVE it. We moved to Cape Cod the next year and the next time I was in that Pub was when my Brother and I came back from Vietnam. When we walked in, the Barkeep said “You are Billy Sullivan’s boys, aren’t ya?” We never got to buy a drink!!!!!!

Without music, life would be a mistake.

Still love this video 14 years later

I‘m from Magdeburg, East Germany. This weekend is the annual medieval Kaiser-Otto-Festival. An irish band was playing. I wished to play „whiskey in the jarre“ and so they did. After, in a break the singe from Dublin brought me a bottle of Connemara. And now I‘m sitting on my roofterrace and love my drink. Thanks Ireland.

We have the greenest grass the best foods and not forgetting our amazing selection of drinks here in Ireland. Uisce beatha is the Gaelic name for whiskey. Literally translates. “ the water of life” Slainte Irish toast meaning health

That intro, pure emotion, that smile, no one else can make a fiddle sing like that, it can only come from the heart. I could listen for hours.

60-year-old African-American thin Lizzy fan here. Because I’m familiar with the 1970s version of the song I can understand how it means so much more to the Irish people than it does to anyone else. I really like this version because it’s not amateur.

They can’t ... the band retired in November 2016 after 20 years of performing. 😢

oh my gosh...this song brings back memories...We used to hear it played by Off-Kilter at Disney World Epcot. When my grandma (who was SUPER proud to be Irish, btw) and my mama would go to Disney with us, they didn't ride the rides and couldn't take walking around in the heat, so they would either shop or sit in shady areas. At Epcot, they would watch Off-Kilter's shows back to back. This was one song I remember loving when I would stop riding a while and go to a show with them. My Gwam didn't make it to our 2015 trip and passed away about a month later. Haven't heard this song since at least 2011, the last trip Gwam came on. Was not expecting to cry today, but I guess I needed it.

I wish good things like this would never end.

What a stage presence that girl has...WOW !!

I so miss this band.

Great tune,.

Can't stop playing this song. Dammit.

Who the hell could NOT LUV this?? It was/is amazing!! Some ppl just cannot SEE..see beyond their “version” ...it is excellent...music & making music is magical . Transforming the mundane

Intro = 3 minutes full of emotions 🥰

I seem to always be late to the party. 11 years late unfortunately here . this is just fricking amazing to watch and listen to.

I can't get enough of that intro

Wowwwww what a band my first time hearing them . They are just fantastic from the drummer to the lady playing the fiddle they could make their instruments talk .. The best version anyone could ever hear of this song . well done to all . Going to look to see can i see any more of this great band .. Everyone of you deserve praise for this version of this old song .. keep it up .. clapssssss west of Ireland music lover .....The young lady playing the fiddle is gifted with great talent ...

You guys are amazing I wish I would have seen you sooner, god bless

LOVE my Irish history,Murphy

The intro on this is sooooo GOOOOD that I can't find the words to describe how good it is.

Intro = amazing! That wasn't a solo, that was pure emotion transmuted into sound. This lady rocks! Great performance by the whole band! !!

Wow...just wow. 😳

This group is out standing.

They played at the Texas state fair religiously for years as I grew up and became proud to be half Scottish and half Bulgarian.

Loved the fiddle opener. Never heard fiddle so dark, almost hard rock. Whiskey In The Jar is a favorite song of mine and I wasn't as into the Killdares' version as I've been into others. It wasn't bad, just not my favorite. The opening fiddle though made the video totally worth it. Very cool.

The violin intro on this is EPIC, it leaves me at least with the hairs on my neck standing up, it is haunting, melodic and for me one of the best intros ever. the rest of the performance is excellent.

Amazing!

Ah Roberta... that wicked little smile at the beginning there... Both a heart-melter and a warning. lol ( Trust me, fellas... that's not a woman you can handle, no matter how you kid yourselves. lol ) Truly my favorite version of this. Have to revisit it from time to time,just to remind me that I do have at least a bit of Irish blood running through my veins. I hope that at some point, the Killdares decide to come out of retirement, and remind us all of why we miss them so much.

LOVE that dark melancholic intro. Unusual to hear a fiddle used so well with effects for such a superb ... effect.

My god that stirred my soul, that was spectacular

My ancestors came from Ireland and Great Britain, part of the Marshall clan. Before I discovered music like this, I thirsted for it. I know I carried a sword for a lord in another life, and have died many a glorious death with my sword in my hand

I sing this one on the street all the time.....it so old of a tune........

My Grand mother used to sing this song while she was doing the dishes!

The idea of music even when it is an interpretation of a classic is the freedom of the music itself. Music is self expression. The Killdares did an excellent rendition. And the introduction was unique and I personally enjoyed it. If you didn't like it no need to ridicule. Just move on. Channel you inner hate in a more positive direction than commenting here. Improve an aspect of your life as opposed to attempting to tear down another's. You might find yourself to be happier every morning.
