WE NEED ONE MORE GREAT BIG SEA REUNION TOUR. LOVE, FRIENDSHIP & GOOD TIMES FOR EVERYONE. TO SEAN: YOUR PAST DOES NOT DEFINE YOU. TO THE BAND: YOU DON'T NEED ALCOHOL TO HAVE FUN, AND TO ENJOY MUSIC! MUCH LOVE FROM MONTREAL, QC ❤❤❤
Sitting on an island off the coast of Maine RN. Made it a point to listen to every version of this song. Sean (and GBS) are, in fact, THE version. Fookin' inspiring.
This is my new favorite version of this song. I thought the XX era was the best one. I thought seeing them live in 2010 and 2011 was the best. But this blows them out of the water.
Glad I bought this on iTunes. Makes the work nights go by better and the troubles of the day seem fleeting. Some days I want to toss it away and seek a meager living on a vessel, fishing or otherwise, just to smell the ocean air once more and savor a taste of freedom I’ve not long felt in my soul.
I was at this show. Actually I think it's the time that went backstage before the show and met you guys. I was with the label reps, and I brought my mom with me to see the show because she was a big fan too. You all signed a poster for her saying "Thanks Mom!" and similar. I don't expect you to remember. I'm sure you guys met so many people over the years. ❤❤❤❤❤
The best advice I ever got about singing live was "Plant your feet and tell them the truth from your heart" and Sean McCann does this every time he signs.

Great comment even if you're screaming.
Why are you shouting?
You guys and stan rogers are the reason i became a shantyman. Thank you so much
Stan Rogers was taken from us too young
@@apexieclipse far too young

I'm from the county, used to work as a fisherman on the coast during my summers. I miss Maine.
Nobody can touch Sean on this.
I do like this version. It's got more lyrics and interesting ones. The first version I heard was from Steeleye Span. This has more power!
I've been lucky enough to have met Sean McCann (lead singer of this song)! It was amazing and I thank God for the amazing privilege!

A pint of Rum for every man! And a bloody great bin barrel for the shanty man! HELL YEAH!
er Hell no, not considering he is an alcoholic.
I wish I was present for this amazing performance

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. My favorite 😍 song 🎵 by Great Big Sea. 👍
This song is so good it would be a worthy addition to a Stan Rogers album.
Love this so much. This song is so haunting.
I always loved hearing you belt this one out, Sean!

Always nice to see other nations sing to an American General.
For the Shantyman!!
Great big sea is this good live….I say after 18 years.
Why isn't this album on Spotify?? 😱
It is 😉😉
Such a great song! But does anyone know what rank this Taylor guy had?
President and Commander in Chief.
Isn't this in St John's not Ottawa?
@@ryanzedic9246 Well you learn something new everyday. I always thought this was in St. John's
Who was the General Taylor in this tune? There are a lot of General Taylors.
It seems to go back to General Taylor from the US Mexican War, who then later became president
@@scrapper70It's an historical mystery. I wonder if anyone has been able to prove the source.
Wonder if they didn't like people clapping...if it threw them off.
The people with the nova scotia flag have no idea lol. Good thing 3/4 of the people there are newfoundlanders.
Amazing!!! Donald Trunp is our General Taylor!!!! MAGA
no lyrics is disappointing
