Just wanted to clarify for those that don't know, this man died a hero. He died of smoke inhalation while trying to help others toward the exit of a burning plane back in 1983. One survivor of the incident said that all she remembers was being ushered toward the exit by a bald man with a beard....that man was Stan Rogers.
I met Stan Rogers one afternoon in 1978 in Ginger's Tavern in the South end Halifax, N.S.. I was sitting at the bar where my sister was tending bar and there was no one else there. A man came in and sat down two stools from me and we talked for about an hour about 'stuff'. I had no idea who he was and I assume he knew it. I did know his music. After he left, my sister told me who he was. He was a gift that did not last long enough.
"So, what kind of music do you like? Folk? Metal? Country? Rap?" "Look, it doesn't matter. I like literally any musician who can do their thing in a kitchen at least 95% as well as they could do it in a stadium full of million-dollar gimmickry."
They set sail in 1778, during the American Revolution. 6 years later would be 1784 which marks the end of the War. The narrator was engaging in war with the Americans so it's possible that he was held as a prisoner of war and released back to Nova Scotia. That's what I think. By the way Sherbrooke Nova Scotia was not founded until 1805, 20 years after the events of the story. Doesn't really matter, it's a fictional song... a GREAT fictional song!!!!
Respect from French Canada. I used to sing this song in a Band for St. Patrick's Day in an Irish Pub with an English Singer. People always loved that song.
I love this stuff! Im an American but im a New Englander who can trace his ancestry back to an English fisherman who landed in Maine in 1710. A lot of the post-French nova Scotia people were descendents of early New England settlers... So there's that.
In July 2017 I was at a remote fly-in fishing camp in Labrador. The sun sets late and us American Sports and our Newfoundlander Guides were sitting with some drinks and a couple guitars playing and singing just having a great night. It got late and we were headed to bed when one Newfie says, "Anyone know Barret's Privateers?" I've been waiting decades to hear that! All the Canadians sure did. We closed out the night with that song. It remains one of the most unforgettable moments of my life. Every one of those folks revered Stan.
Rogers would have been proud to know that the crew of the Northern Harrier sang this shanty to pass the time as we did the Trans-Superior International Yacht Race, August 2019. The best part? We were a crew put together online, Canadian-American. We came to Sault Ste. Marie, MI from as far as Thunder Bay, ON and Baltimore, MD. On the third day, alone on deck, I started to sing this song and a lad from Duluth, MN actually knew the lyrics, too, and joined in.
This is far and away my favorite version of this song. The tempo is a little bit faster, and its sung with a bit more naturalness and gusto when compared to the studio versions: Exactly the kind of thing that happens when you're sitting around singing with friends. Awesome.
I know the person next to Stan (with the really long hair) is his brother Garnet Rogers, who is one of the most talented musician's I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. :)
Harmonizing with Stan are the members of a group called "Ryan's Fancy. If you want to go way, way back, before they became Ryan's fancy the members formed part of a group called Sullivan's Gypsies.
Around the table from Stan's right: Denis Ryan(Ryan's Fancy); Dermot O'Reilly(Ryan's Fancy, deceased); David Alan Eadie(supporting musician on Stan's tours); Fergus O'Byrne(Ryan's Fancy), and rounding out the table on is Garnet Rogers, Stan's brother and a fine musician in his own right. There you go. Google'em all!
Maybe it’s cause I’m not Canadian but Barrett’s Privateers is the only piece of media I’ve seen depict the American Revolutionary War from a Canadian perspective and one of the only ones I’ve seen from the perspective of the British side
So Stan is singing with his brother, garnet, the dude with the super long hair, and the three other guys were from Ryan’s Fancy, another amazing folk band of the 70’s-80’s, Denis Ryan, Fergus O'Byrne, and Dermot O'Reilly, not sure who the guy in the sweatshirt is though. What a cool meeting of awesome folk minds
OMG, I have listened to Stan but this is my first time seeing him singing like this. My loss that he is gone and NO ONE is doing this kind of music. I am so sad for the loss. God Bless you Stan.
I just been at the annual sea shanty festival in Albany, West Australia and this song was sung by two different shanty groups. By Sunday, half the people knew all the chorus. It lives on!
It's been 6 years since we sailed away. And I just made Halifax yesterday, GOD DAMN THEM ALL! I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold, we'd fire no guns, shed no tears. But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier, the last of Barrett's Privateers!
Man, it really chaps that this version isn't the one that's sold on his albums -- live or studio recorded -- because it's *easily* the best one. XD It's the slightly unhinged quality of it + those percussive THWOCKS underneath that keep it moving.
According to garnets book, Stan hated this song after about 6 months and they changed the words in it to get through it because people demanded to hear it
I can vouch for that- I sat front row center at a concert where Stan and Co. had clearly gotten pretty well-oiled in advance, though they never missed a beat. Garnet was a bit wound up, quoting some unrepeatable verses to "Barrett's Privateers", and calling the audience "wimps" for not singing loud enough, which got a sharp look from Stan. I'm glad I had the chance to see him.
@@danpatterson8009 This song has been getting stuck in my head for years. I drove to Vancouver from Seattle one weekend sometime back, and a woman I met recommended I give Stan a listen. I'm not sure how I found my way to this song, but the ear worm dug its way deep into my skull. Stan may have hated this tune, but it's damned good and people loved it for a reason, even a Yank like me.
Beware of the unbearded man in a profession where men usually wear beards; he has nothing left to prove...who do you think is thumping out the bass line?
I was staying on Kwajalein Island in the Marshall Islands in the middle of the Pacific for work on nearby Ebeye Island in 2017. I was sitting in a bar there after work when I heard some band from New England start singing Barrett's Privateers. I almost started to cry. Stan and his music was such a big deal for me in the 1980's, and I still listen to him all the time. He reminded me so much of home that I cried. It was great to see that folk bands still play his music!!
Someone, anyone that has the ability to find this exact full recording from the documentary needs to make it available to download. I've listened to the other versions that were laid down. None of them has whatever this performance of this song does. There is a piece of something in this performance that doesn't seem to be in the published recordings. The tape is somewhere in a basement. I'm sure there's no channels to mix. Just clean up the audio. Don't process it too much if any. Make it a Flac. Heck, make it available in every Lossless audio file. If such a thing already exists, please point the way.
Coming from a Newfoundlander: Stan was truly a force of nature. If I HAD to put a voice against his: Dermot O'Reilly, and in this vid, Fergus O'Byrne is loaded! HAHAHA Cheers Fergus.
Came here to hear the first and best sea shanty I've heard, during the current sea shanty virality. Stan Rogers is a legend! Check out "Northwest Passage" - excellent. And I live in Halifax :)
I didn't know about this. This is fantastic. I have heard a few shanties. But it must be the immediacy and power of this live recording of them all singing with that level of gusto...because that's the most fun I've had watching a group of singers, drinking around a table, having the time of their lives belting out a tune (and I've seen a few). That was terrific.
The other guys in the clip are his brother Garnet Rogers, and a band called Ryan’s Fancy. Amazing Nova Scotia traditionalists. So fortunate to have this.
This makes me miss reenactment events so much! We would gather and sing along, and it always was a joyous, touching experience. I can see that spirit in their faces, and their spirit lifts mine. Till I can be well enough to return to those places, I shal come here for a boost to my soul. What a wonderful, talented man he was!
Nothing beats being on the dance floor when the song shifts from the Weeknd to this and everyone erupts in cheers, sings along, and has a grand ole time in a shabby bar overlooking there Halifax Harbour. I'll never forget that moment.
The Clocks and Colors men's jewelry commercial on youtube introduced me to this song. Then I heard it on this video, and realized: the audio in this video sounded like it was identical to the audio from the Clocks and Colors commercial. And now I can't find that commercial back. Did Clocks and Colors seriously steal this video's audio???
Someone did eventually reupload the ad and I can confirm, they did use the audio from this video. Sounds nearly identical, the actors in the ad merely lip-synced. Quick edit to throw the link to the re-uploaded ad: ruclips.net/video/Rzme6b15s3c/видео.htmlsi=__dcLd5nDTRjLoOb

I love how you can see the glaze on their eyes, these boys are topped solid.

Do you mean to say theres another way to belt out sea shanties?

Yeah, but they're *tight*, and I don't mean pissed... even stoned off their gourds they are ON... g-dd-mn I miss Stan.

"Look, it doesn't matter. I like literally any musician who can do their thing in a kitchen at least 95% as well as they could do it in a stadium full of million-dollar gimmickry."
There's an Irish saying about music that I love: "There are two types of music. Good & bad." I totally agree with it and you!
We have a million dollars worth of gimickry in our kitchen and the dog still doesn't beg at the dinner table...
It’s almost better with them drunk in this little kitchen than on stage. God, the good die young.
For some reason, sea shanties have entered the cultural zeitgeist this week.
Always upvote Stan Rogers.
The sea calls to us all at some point in our lives, like a siren
yeah, I came here to try to get Wellerman out of my head...
Facts. The goat.
I "blame" that TikTok of the guy discovering (and quickly sharing) his brother's love of Sea Shanties
First thing I thought back on, still waiting for this to go viral

I grew up near Halifax, been living abroad for several years now.
When I go back home I always think about this song.
Youre amazing.
I could not imagine how it'd be possible to be more Canadian than this.
Somebody has to apologize about something.

Not enough Norwegians.

Just look at how happy these lads are to be singing. Man, the world didn't deserve dear old Stan, we NEEDED him. May he rest in peace ❤️
Joe Upchurch I don't even know Stan or this music and the first thing I saw was the pure joy. Jeezus, what have I been missing...?

They are doing this kind of music, every night of the week, in Halifax Nova Scotia. Stan’s legacy lives on and is fearless … come join us.
This is still the version I most wish I could hear from beginning to end. What I'd give to be at that table singing harmony :)
Man with the neckscarf is having an absolute blast! I love him!
His face at 1:24 is priceless
Imagine walking past that house at 0.43 and hearing that noise! You'd feel left out.
I'd definitely feel left out lol nice seeing another Mr. Bungle fan here, too.
@@warpig34 Yes! Definitely
Who doesn’t wish they were one of the boys sitting there with Stan Rogers on this night, 3 sheets to the wind!
Can't believe Stan passed at only age 33. Always seemed so much older and wise than that
old soul
He died a hero though.
It's been 6 years since we sailed away.
And I just made Halifax yesterday, GOD DAMN THEM ALL!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold, we'd fire no guns, shed no tears.
But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier, the last of Barrett's Privateers!
I want to drink beer and sing with these guys! Canadian Pride!
I'm an American and I endorse this message. Canada is an awesome country and this is a capital song.
Those boys were into something stronger than beer.

That’s Ryan’s Fancy he singing with, top tier best Newfoundland Irish band to ever play
I wish we could get this full version. There are some extra vocals in this one that hit harder than the other versions.
Man I love Stan Rogers even more knowing he wrote this song! All this time I thought it was an old shanty.
cell phones stole this from us
It really touches me how happy he is when he's singing
I come here often, to smell sea spray, hear the surf and to feel alive. RIP Stan Rogers.
Keep in mind it's acapella as well. God that man could sing.
I've been into shanties ever since Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag came out. I could never get enough of them since then.
i'm here for julian
My god, what a voice he had! And then to write songs like that on top of it, wow.
1:23 is a man who shed some tears in his day.
I am forever grateful that Stan created this for us Maritimers.
I can't stop replaying this. Mix of sheer joy and unfamiliar nostalgia.
“Boys dinner at my place tonight, I got drinks too”
Later that night:
My very good friend and the best teacher I have ever known introduced me to this wonderful shanty. Thank you Ian Masters!
Man i need an mp3 version of this song. This live version just blows everything else i have heard out of the water...
