Hands firmly in pockets, smoking and drinking on stage, clearly unclear on who's supposed to sing when... and absolutely nailing every moment. Legends.
My grandad was a strabane man who moved to wexford aftrr being in the freestate army. He moved to Ferns when my dad was young then a decade later they moved to dublin. Wexford was a popular holiday for my family. I was 8 when we went to curraghcloe. When he had a few drinks with his friends papa would belt this out in the tenor vooce he had. I didnt understand politics or history much at that time. This song burned in my brain and to me i feel it in my bones when a good singer gives it justice. This is fantastic
Except for the fact that Shane McGowan was born in Kent England, it couldn't be more Irish. Did you know, almost all the pogues we're born in England? I'm not saying it matters. But it's interesting how few people know that. Love The Pogues. Love The Dubliners
jemielnic lol what world do you live in, even the lgbtq folks in the mainstream are controlled and profited from by white cis males in control of the music industry, and idk of any mainstream musicians that are trans, especially not qtpoc.
It's hard to believe, how Shane, even drunk as fu** always takes his turn at the right time and remembers his lyrics. That guy is a mistery to me. Love him.
@@slaves329. that's debatable, some creative types only uncover their full potential with help from alcohol or drugs. Would Shane have written all those masterpiece lyrics had he been sober? We'll never know that.
@@slaves329.probably not as talented….as a former drug addict I simply cannot get my flow as I did when I used and I oxycodone was my drug of choice…..and that’s just a fact with MANY artists and has been since time began. So claiming he’d have more ability is just not a given fact.
Anyone else there when the pogues couldn’t play in Glasgow at the concert hall because they were so pished, so they had to come back 2 hours later once they sobered up a bit. What a fucking night they were so good 😂
I have always loved the Pogues, and who cares about his teeth? The man is drop dead gorgeous in my book. What a talented musician! Every single last one of the musicians here are wonderful, but I definitely have a crush on handsome Shane!
Being born on St Patrick's day, I have often spent my birthday in Irish Taverns. I also have worked and lived in Dublin during the two months of summer 2000. Spent an evening at the tavern on top of Sugar hill. Yes, Irish people is very warm friendly and funny. LONG LIVE IRELAND !
@shane7103 & from me, my old friend, in my local pub as I was just passing the flyer said "Tonight Iive Irish Music", you just know its gonna be a great night all the best
Living in Kilburn in the 80s whilst walking past Biddy Mulligans Pub on a Sunday midday lunch session after Mass at the Sacred Heart Church this song was always blasting from a band in the pub . Loved it people walking bye doing a little jig . Memories Kilburn alive everyday so many Pubs bringing the High Road to life .
This unexpectedly brought me to tears. I was ready to watch, frankly, an energetic but embarrassing shambles.However each and every one of them nailed it. Shane, smoking and drinking during the song, only got one word wrong. And The Dubliners, giving it their all with one hand on their wallets.

I am 44 now and clearly remember seeing this as an 8 year old and being blown away by the sound, the solidness of Ronnie the anarchy of Shane together making beautiful Irish music still sounds so good today ❤
Reminds me of my time on the sites in London many years ago cashing my cheque in the pubs around Cricklewood by the end of the weekend I had flattened the lot , great times I’ll always remember 👏🏼 RIP Shane M, Always be a Legend!
I'm not Irish so I don't know. But it must be an Irish thing since both of them are doing it; being different generations it's the only common thing they have on stage visualy.
We had 1 million Brits on their phones where they sit 2 million Yanks from the pond over 3 million Canucks, and some Aussies to boot Listening to the Irish Rover!
I grew up listening to Irish music my grandfather was from wexford, mam played this all the time, along her and grandfather doing Irish dancing, happy days 💥💥👏👏
Amazon performance. They are enjoying so much. Shane is such an amazing singer. My dad loved The Pogues. Many memories when he played these songs. RIP Dad and Shane.
My childhood was filled with memories of my Grandfather listening to The Pogues and the Dubliners, I used to love sitting with him listening along. He passed away a couple months ago, but this music will always keep him alive in spirit.
Same here, my papa used to give me a shandy an a nip on a Friday and he put the rebel tunes on and we had a blast, wish i could have one more night to spend with him,, miss him so much,, true Republican.... Tioc faidh ar la....
Saw them do this at the Brighton Centre gig in 1988 and Kirsty McColl was up there too. I've been to hundreds of gigs in my 57 years but this was surely the best of the lot
God I wish I had a high quality MP3/FLAC of this exact version. I had the screen off hearing this and I thought the dude at the start was Graham Norton. This must be the 50th time I have played this video lol, what an absolute classic, drunk or sober.
Long journey from Zambia, 6 years old I remember singing this with the Caracastle school boys of Charlestown, 80s County Mayo. Ireland you have my heart forever - RIP Pat, Betty, Kevin - God bless Free Ireland ☘️
They lowered my husband’s granddad down into his final resting place today to this. Everyone singing along. He was the captain of the ship for lambay island here in Dublin many moons ago. The last of the Irish rover. RIP 🩷
Same here. I'm belgian and was a student of DIT in Dublin in 1995 and I saw almost every town between Dublin, Belfast, Donegal and Galway. Best year of my life.
This song was played at my uncles funeral.... when it started playing we were outside the crematorium about to carry his coffin in for the short ceremony that would happen there..... they had it blaring.... could see people other side of the graveyard the crematorium was located in look over in our direction to see what was going on... a bit shocked..... some of the family hid their faces in embarrassment mortified at the song choice (but laughing at the same time). the place was hoping like a pub in a lockin blaring this song..... everyone was laughing and smiling... funeral directors, even the priest too outside with us were struggling to hold their composure as we all walked in to the chapel..... never seen a funeral start like that before.... (we balanced it out with a poem to the lonesome boatman by the fureys at the end - but still what a way to go out lol)
My sister's last wish was her brothers make a toast at her grave before lowering her. As we were pouring shots, one thing led to another and the entire crowded ended up under the awning with dixie cup shots in their hands, laughing and toasting. Only my sister could get us to bartend graveside. She was one of a kind. Peace be with you, Dana. See ya' soon.

@@steveridgeway3784 ... Dubliners ;)
Absolutely. Perfect timing. Talent !!!
Was hast du denn gedacht wie früher Musik gemacht wurde? Only like this way.
It's a sad day but considering he was given only 6 weeks to live in 1989 he's done bloody well to make it this far.
RIP Shane.
Thanx, that made me laugh on a sad day, he was something!
He's gone that's what the media say. He'll survive all of us, no doubt.
he's not dead just get a bit of horse glue and duck tape he''ll be right as rain.
Haha nice comment. RIP Shano 🇮🇪🍻🍀

The combined blood alcohol content standing on that stage must be absolutely staggering...
I thought exactly the same. Bloody good session though wasn't it!
Ha ha ha I see what you did “staggering” 😂😂
Holy I lost it at this comment! Too right!
Don't light a match nearby!
Must have been filmed early in the morning then, they aren’t even started yet.
Could this be any more Irish. Your man smoking and drinking on stage. All the boys looking super casual pumping out perfect sound. Just magic
"So, how do you look like a lead singer" "Just keep your hands in your pockets, and sway awkwardly" "Ah beggorah, to be sure.. "

@@andrewhall7930 everyone knows this, still Irish.
Seeing the way Barney and John look at their younger counterparts, playing whistle and banjo, is awesome, they look proud
I'm 55 and have been a lifelong fan of Dubliners and the Pouges. I think that Shane's look is appealing. He is real.
Shane is everything all at once of being Irish. And we are so proud of his beautiful miraculous soul!
Shane's a facking Londoner.
Remember when a person's talents were more significant than the condition of their teeth.
At least what they had left
Then again, one could argue that the state of Shane's teeth are a part if the image and allure.
Well said .

Shan'e performances were never boring.. Here is a prime examples with the Dubliners... RIP Shane you will be sorely missed. 💐💖
Amazing that Shane never forgets the words the state he's in. He must be singing these songs directly from the brain stem!
He's prob been drunk for so long it's not an issue I had a friend who got sober and had t relearn all his lyrics.
Hes never been to america before but hes been in some states🤣
Alcohol affects the brain not the heart when it for singing
Shane epic
Shane just oozes epic irishness...he doesn't need a brain, it is in every cell.

Do people realise how talented you have to be to appear this shambolic and yet produce beautiful music on a live set?
Were you from...?

Weather forecast for carrigaline middle
Yes. He must have been shifting himself to sing with them. He did well.
Isn't it amazing that Shane had his teeth fixed. HE'S STILL ALIVE
My mum passed just before shane. She was of irish decent and this song makes me smile. Rip shane. Rip mammy x
