A lot of bands claimed, or were proclaimed, to be "alternate music". These lads should be the definition of alternate. Most of the other bands in that category were pantywaists in comparison.
It’s great when you watch a slightly obscure band that you know are epic . Every posts intelligent remarks and shares nostalgic thoughts . No mindless fking “whose here in 2157”.
Mike Scott kicks Dylan's arse as a songwriter and musician, IMO. But I hate to break it to you, but the 'light in my head' is about slipping into a coma on his deathbed. And the 'you in my arms' is his dead wife. But you knew that, yeah? Still happy??
I can't believe the audience isn't dancing...Man when We saw them in the 80's We were sooo stoked to be able to see them live...The Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver British Columbia 🇨🇦 I've seen many concerts in my life but The Waterboys was the Best!!! 🌊💙🌕
I`m a huge fan, I`ve seen them on every tour and I remember seeing them play these songs on The Tube at the time. For me Fisherman`s Blues is one of the truly great songs. Thanks `Roy Grove` for posting this.
Damn u so f in lucky bro never came to Washington DC what a damn shame been into them for 37 years & I’m. 71 damn those days still love this version best ever seen. Or heard what a pleasure to get this !!!!!! Killed it!!!!!!👍❤️😻☮️🔥🎶🙏🇺🇸😹
I wish I was a fisherman tumblin' on the seas far away from dry land and it's bitter memories castin' out my sweet line with abandonment and love no ceiling bearin' down on me save the starry sky above with light in my head with you in my arms... i wish i was the brakeman on a hurtlin fevered train crashin head long into the heartland like a cannon in the rain with the feelin of the sleepers and the burnin of the coal countin the towns flashin by and a night that's full of soul with light in my head with you in my arms... And I know I will be loosened from the bonds that hold me fast and the chains all around me will fall away at last and on that grand and fateful day I will take thee in my hand I will ride on a train I will be the fisherman With light in my head You in my arms... Light in my head You in my arms... Light in my head You... With light in my head You in my arms...

"Le blues du pêcheur" J'aimerais être pêcheur Tumblin' sur les mers Loin de la terre ferme Et ses souvenirs amers Jetant ma douce ligne Avec abandon et amour Aucun plafond ne me pèse Sauvez le ciel étoilé au-dessus Avec de la lumière dans ma tête Toi dans mes bras Courtiser! J'aimerais être le freineur Dans un train fiévreux à toute allure S'écraser tête baissée dans le cœur du pays Comme un canon sous la pluie Avec le battement des dormeurs Et la combustion du charbon Compter les villes qui défilent Dans une nuit pleine d'âme Avec de la lumière dans ma tête Toi dans mes bras Courtiser! Demain je serai relâché Des liens qui me retiennent Que toutes les chaînes pendaient autour de moi Tombera enfin Et en ce beau et fatidique jour je te prendrai dans mes mains je monterai dans le train je serai le pêcheur Avec de la lumière dans ma tête Toi dans mes bras Lumière dans ma tête Toi dans mes bras
Incredible perfomance. Mike Scott is a truly underrated artist imo. He's an incredible songwriter. Tracks like Fishermans Blues, And A Bang on the ear, This Man is in Love, and my favourite Old England is Dying. He's also done some great covers like Dylan's Girl From The North Country and Nobody 'Cept You, and Van Morrison's classic Sweet Thing.
@@sifterdrifter9839 incidentally Queen and The Waterboys are two my favorite bands. Both were acused by so called experts being too selfindugent( WTF does it even mean) For me both unique and versatile bands covering many genres so they are never boring and vocalists with passionate voices and when you hear them first time you are hooked forever.
Kids with Attention Deficit special needs my ass Kids with special gifts me and my brother are the same way heck my brother can't read but musical when he was young incredible ! What a voice the school systems can really screw you up
Maravillosa esta banda espectacular este tema pero estoy biendo el video y la gente solo escucha o abla entre ellos en mi pais estariamos saltando y bailando como locos
Omg I'm hearing for 1st time. I'm amazed. Whst era is this. What year did they become big. But omg it's so relevant to all ears. Beautiful irish sounding. Music. Like s.o.a. soundtrack.
![The Waterboys - The Whole of the Moon [Official HD Remastered Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/sBW8Vnp8BzU/mqdefault.jpg)
What a song...a version...the energy...the incredible fiddle/mandolin combo! Whoooo!
Sure! A masterpiece. I feel Irish on the shore of the sea!
That audience doesn't deserve what's in front of them.....
If I could turn back time .........
Such an amazing musical era !!! ❤
Such freakin' awesome songs, especially Fisherman's Blues.
my favourite

Any one who.doesn't like.the water boys.deserves.a.bang on the ear
Doubt they have any .
Classic line just like the song
Good one
What's wrong with that crowd . I'm in a wheelchair and I can't sit still
Really. We’re they told to be stoic and stand still?
You know good music bro!!!!!!
Too much xanex😮
I'm dead but this wakes me up to dance
@@KittyCarlile-490 Right :)

@@timapple6586I just lost my husband last week. This popped up and now I’m bawling my eyes out. Yeah, not exactly happy for me. 🥀
What a great sounding band
Mikes voice was supreme in this era
I love this song💯🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮❤❤❤ Celtic

Same here, saw them in Toronto on this tour. Milestone,
Saw them in L.A. They were great. Of course.
I think I was there too!Best Celtic band .Pogues too of course
LOVE THE WATERBOYS LEGEND BAND WORDERFUL
Super song one my favourite song ❤
This is a band at their very peak. Saw them in Barrowlands with the full compliment of Irish guys. Untouchable they were.
Mike Scott you are a genius!
Fortunate to see The Waterboys and Big Country live in the mid 80’s. Never bettered.
I saw them open for U2 at the Long Beach Arena, I think around 84ish85? The eighties were special!
They created there music in a small village in the west coast of Ireland most of there songs are connected to the sea
*their
pure class
I believe that that particular one was at the US FEST!!!
One word to describe this song-"BRUTAL"!
No that’s a word that describes YOU LOL
I was just introduced to them through the soundtrack of the movie Waking Ned Devine...WOW!!!!
One of the reasons l love soundtracks. great source material!!
Love, love, love, LOVE The Waterboys! Just superb!
What a class piece of music 👍🫣
Just sort of brilliant really !
Fkn brilliant
What a beautiful Scottie man...

For the legend that is Kev Lord! Beautiful song!!

I wish I was a fisherman
tumblin' on the seas
far away from dry land
and it's bitter memories
castin' out my sweet line
with abandonment and love
no ceiling bearin' down on me
save the starry sky above
with light in my head
with you in my arms...
i wish i was the brakeman
on a hurtlin fevered train
crashin head long into the heartland
like a cannon in the rain
with the feelin of the sleepers
and the burnin of the coal
countin the towns flashin by
and a night that's full of soul
with light in my head
with you in my arms...
And I know I will be loosened
from the bonds that hold me fast
and the chains all around me
will fall away at last
and on that grand and fateful day
I will take thee in my hand
I will ride on a train
I will be the fisherman
With light in my head
You in my arms...
Light in my head
You in my arms...
Light in my head
You...
With light in my head
You in my arms...
incredible
This is the best quality version on line of this on line - thank you!!
The mandolin makes it extra special, and Mike's ridiculously good vocals.
Mike does have some stellar pipes, does he not !?
Si os molan. Los tenemos en Bilbao
This killer thanks so damn f in awesome!!!! Mike looks so damn hot what an awesome singer writer musician thanks for upload !!!! ❤️👍😻☮️🔥🎶🙏🇺🇸😹
Truley great band
Un gran grupo de los 80s, hermosas composiciones, letras interesantes, rock con instrumentación fuera de lo común, que gusto escucharlos y recordar sus canciones.
De los ochenta y actuales, yo los ví en 2002 y siguen ahí, prolíficos en discos y temas, muy grandes.
@@albertomarinofernandeztras5810 Hoy 3 de agosto del 2023 en Huelva en la feria de las Colombinas, han dado un concierto de primera.
Saw them twice with this line-up in Brighton - splendid!
Just love this band
A energia desta música é espetacular
"Le blues du pêcheur"
J'aimerais être pêcheur
Tumblin' sur les mers
Loin de la terre ferme
Et ses souvenirs amers
Jetant ma douce ligne
Avec abandon et amour
Aucun plafond ne me pèse
Sauvez le ciel étoilé au-dessus
Avec de la lumière dans ma tête
Toi dans mes bras
Courtiser!
J'aimerais être le freineur
Dans un train fiévreux à toute allure
S'écraser tête baissée dans le cœur du pays
Comme un canon sous la pluie
Avec le battement des dormeurs
Et la combustion du charbon
Compter les villes qui défilent
Dans une nuit pleine d'âme
Avec de la lumière dans ma tête
Toi dans mes bras
Courtiser!
Demain je serai relâché
Des liens qui me retiennent
Que toutes les chaînes pendaient autour de moi
Tombera enfin
Et en ce beau et fatidique jour
je te prendrai dans mes mains
je monterai dans le train
je serai le pêcheur
Avec de la lumière dans ma tête
Toi dans mes bras
Lumière dans ma tête
Toi dans mes bras
Obrigado Corinne Frere.
Me encanta, soy muy feliz escuchándolos...

The best band of the 80s. A thousand times better than Queen and more unknown
Aye tis a good tune… but better than Queen! Think again my friend ❤️

Definitely - of the 80's !!!

Mike Scott is Scottish
Bon Scott was born in Forfar Scotland.
