Well said. Lots of talent ! Too bad that Ronnie Drew is gone. The Dubliners, The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, The Wolf Tones and others. Ireland and the World have lost so much. What music ! Best Regards & have a pint on Irish History, GOD knows we deserve it.
Call to producer from rich investor. “Listen my spastic brother in law is learning the tin whistle, you need to put him on with McGowan and Drew on the weekend, or funding will be cut” Only way I can see that of happening
What a grotesque show - Ronnie with his throat cancer of which he eventually died, and Shane the eternal alcoholic who is still alive now. They were two of the really great voices, sad to see them like that.
Ronnie clearly is having a hard time doing this and it's like - you have an ill sober man whose not far off being dead of a terrible way to die next to a chainsmoking alcoholic essentially. It just isn't nice to see... not this one...
You get two people who are undoubtedly quite Ill up to sing and you might think one or both of them would be the problem but in this case. They were both very good it's the tin whistle player who fucked it up.
The Whistle in fairness is VERY hard to "get right" live. It's either too quiet or too loud. And yeah Ronnie is clearly having BAD vocal issues (cancer related I'm sadly thinking). This period Shane also did a Ronnie Drew tribute and also Fairytale of New York with Katie Melua and it was shocking. But Olympia 2012 he was REALLY good. That show was incredible to see I think having no teeth meant he'd got used to it.
Lucy Candice A lot of REAL INSTRUMENTS going into microphones can be VERY hard to set up. My Man has done sound clashes and various things with actual music (he's very versatile for someone like him) but sometimes it's REALLY hit or miss. A soundcheck in an empty venue doesn't account for a maybe BIG or maybe tiny crows's noise and the effect a packed or empty venue has on acoustics. Problem is on TV I think they just go for it the sound engineer or monitor mixer or whoever is probably drunk or KO'd lol.
Dear God! What the hell are you doing Joey? Get off that whistle and stop ruining what could have been a legendary reunion between two amazing Irish musicians!
@BmoreBusker That was painful. I thought he stuck it in my ear. Can you believe Ronnie Drew is dead But Shaney Mac lives on. That is testimony to how much damage the human body can withstand. What a fucking shame to piss talent and opportunity away. He could have lived like a king instead of an asshole with pissed pants.
This is f*cking awful and I absolutely love the Dubliners and Ronnie Drew. The tin whistle player sounds like he is blowing a recorder with a sock in the end. Also, Barneys banjo is missing. Absolutely goddam awful compared to the 1987 version.
Full respect for Ronnie I heard he had throat cancer? Rip to a great singer and Shane well what to say but absaulte fuckin legand he needs to write some new material but damn that guy was shit on the wistel it was too high I could barely hear them other than that good perfomance!!
@joeytwosubs Yeah, for sure, I guess the Crock of Gold was his last real effort with original work. There's actually a pretty decent recording, though, from last year. He sounds like he actually made an effort. Check out "Celtic Song" Shane seems to bring like to guardian angels. He needs at least a hundred. and yeah man, I miss Ronnie!
ah sweet jesus...that friggin tin whistle must have 7 holes in it...whoever the dude playin it is...should take up some other instrument...bodhran,spoons,bones,or tamborine perhaps...great song wrecked...wrecked..
ok, yeah the tin whistle player sucks but how are you all glossing over Shane? Don't get me wrong, I love the man but Even Ronnie Drew looks pissed off at MacGowan.
this makes me so sad. Hearing these Masters struggle to sing. The last time they preformed this song together it was magical.
When was that?
that's what i was thinking...still cool that they got up and did it, but such a degraded version from the previous high energy performance
He sure can raise the roof with song. For his sake and ours -- we need him. I just hope he'll be with us for years to come.
snape really slaughtered that tin whistle.

I love this guys
Call to producer from rich investor.

Only way I can see that of happening
This is pure gold .
That clown on the tin whistle is a disaster
Definetly not as a good as ol Spider.
🕷🕸
Fucking love this
What a grotesque show - Ronnie with his throat cancer of which he eventually died, and Shane the eternal alcoholic who is still alive now. They were two of the really great voices, sad to see them like that.
Ronnie clearly is having a hard time doing this and it's like - you have an ill sober man whose not far off being dead of a terrible way to die next to a chainsmoking alcoholic essentially. It just isn't nice to see... not this one...
even so, I believe it was another six months or so after this before Ronnie's throat cancer was diagnosed.
You're right, though - Ronnie seems to be having trouble singing and Shane made a mess of the lyrics.
Can you sing it better?
even if they sounded 100 times worse than they actually did, this is still priceless and they are still legends forever!
Not the greatest performance of these legends...but they are LEGENDS so it's still awesome.....except for tin whistle guy...don't know about him...
You get two people who are undoubtedly quite Ill up to sing and you might think one or both of them would be the problem but in this case. They were both very good it's the tin whistle player who fucked it up.
still as good as the 1st time they played it all those years ago legends!!!!
That guy is no spider, I had an eardrum before watching this video.
joey cashman his manager ... he aint no musician at all....loved the bright lights etc
I think even Ronnie is mad at that whistle player...
+thegreatluigi I was thinking that. Everyone apart from MacGowan and the whistle player looks like they can't wait for it to be over.
Is that whistle player the hanger on shane was bringing everywhere, think he managed the popes.
Shane Mac Gowan is the real deal.🍀💜
You got that right! This isn't either Ronnie's or Shane's best, that's for sure...and luv 'em both!

hahaha what's going on with that whistle, I imagine that cough at 1:45 was to try and get his attention to shut him up
i agree it's alittle grotesque but i give it to ronnie the lad loved singing and nothing stopped him from that
Ronnier Drew - the one an' only.
Shit without spider. Ronnie and Shane are legends, though Shane doesn't look so good here
It's sad to see. So much talent.
Oh my god, this is a performance that should be quickly forgotten.
Shane sounds like hes well on his way this day!🍻
Dear God! What the hell are you doing Joey? Get off that whistle and stop ruining what could have been a legendary reunion between two amazing Irish musicians!
Powerfull 💪💪❤️LEGEND!!!🌹🌹🌹
Why is Snape playing the tin whistle?
Haha ain't that Joey cash or cashman the ex pogues manager on the whistle ruining it lol looks like him
Absolutely bladdered there.
Joey Cashman on the tin whistle, slaughtering the song...
What happened at 2:26?
Hell! Really good question! ...give that bloody damn whistle to me!!!!
Ronnie was still very good
well not as good as he was once..and Shane is really really smashed.
@BmoreBusker That was painful. I thought he stuck it in my ear. Can you believe Ronnie Drew is dead But Shaney Mac lives on. That is testimony to how much damage the human body can withstand. What a fucking shame to piss talent and opportunity away. He could have lived like a king instead of an asshole with pissed pants.
Ronnie and Shane are really struggling in this version RIP Ronnie
You could tell after he finished singing that Ronnie was extremely unhappy. He put his head in his hands
Looks like Joey Cashman, McGowans manager.
i find this performance is really sad :/
this is craziness.
Old professor snape on the tin whistle needs to stick to the day job at Hogwarts I reckon
Haha, Whistler at the wrong gig!
my uncle on guitar
The Guy on the tin whistle looked like Severus snape
This is f*cking awful and I absolutely love the Dubliners and Ronnie Drew. The tin whistle player sounds like he is blowing a recorder with a sock in the end. Also, Barneys banjo is missing. Absolutely goddam awful compared to the 1987 version.
@lighterman41 exactly my friend! I read somewhere that even Sharon Shannon let Joey in on a live song. I bet she's kicking herself in the ass now
Haha, Ronnie looks a little pissed with good reason... Terrible tin whistle I wouldn't wanna be anywhere near that guy playing it.
Why didn't someone tell the whistle play to shut up
Shane splutters like Daffy Duck.
Full respect for Ronnie I heard he had throat cancer? Rip to a great singer and Shane well what to say but absaulte fuckin legand he needs to write some new material but damn that guy was shit on the wistel it was too high I could barely hear them other than that good perfomance!!
I think the sound guy was fucking with them. How the hell Trashman louder than everyone?!?
@joeytwosubs Yeah, for sure, I guess the Crock of Gold was his last real effort with original work. There's actually a pretty decent recording, though, from last year. He sounds like he actually made an effort. Check out "Celtic Song"
Shane seems to bring like to guardian angels. He needs at least a hundred. and yeah man, I miss Ronnie!
I agree. I could give a fiddler's fart what he does with his life. I like his music. For his own shake he should watch himself.
what is the storey with joey cashman on the whistle absoloute shite, but funny,
God Save Ireland !!!
that pennywhistle is to fucking high!
Jesus Ronnie was 23 years older than Shane&still held up better....
Holy fuck. Who's in charge of the mics?
Joey Cashman should NEVER put a pennywhistle in his fucking hands.
Shane macgowan is best singer
What a deterioration from their previous appearance together in 1987...Fucking alcohol!
Hat wisteria love Ronnie think Shane drunk
Sean who???
Why did they do this it's a horrible sight.... RIP
Sad to see MacGowan this bad
Lmao
a Shane jak zwykle pociąga
Ronnie will have been gone 10 years next year! Feck!
it makes me sad to see them in this shape
the guy playing whistle is taking a piss!
Cashman sounds like a horse is pissing on him.
Get the whistle blower off stage and - with all respect - get them all off stage. Better know when to stop.
ah sweet jesus...that friggin tin whistle must have 7 holes in it...whoever the dude playin it is...should take up some other instrument...bodhran,spoons,bones,or tamborine perhaps...great song wrecked...wrecked..
THIS is Punk Rock
joey cashman 's no feckin' bodyguard neither!!.....should have thrown him in the Whiffey after that ffs !!
I don't mean to be offensive, but can someone tell me why Shane's voice is really weird?
Bro heroin alcoholic
more than likely he's drunk
🍺😉 🇨🇵 🍻 🇨🇮
Such a sad bad sound spoils this video. Irish voices need more attention and quality.
What the fuck was that mess?
its because hes got no teeth left
ok, yeah the tin whistle player sucks but how are you all glossing over Shane? Don't get me wrong, I love the man but Even Ronnie Drew looks pissed off at MacGowan.
that tin whistle is awful! get spider on the job!
What else?
He looks like my Grandpa's Grandpa.
Too pitty. He ruined himself and a great branch of Irish Folk Music.
Sounds terrible 😂
Shane McGowan -- shame on you. I see Nast cartoons rolling from you gob. You have cursed the Irish ! Have you ever had a sober day in your life?
Not gonna lie, this is embarrassing..
Hahaha, why do you blame Shane for you own pointless life? Drop it...
Oh good god that frickin whistle playing is TERRIBLE!!!!!!
Shane does sound terrible cause he had no teeth
Embarrassing.
