I was lucky enough to hear both Eric and Shane sing this live in the 80's. I love the fact that it's one of Australia's most important songs written by a Pom and perfected by an Irishman.
I have came here today as an Australian to pay may respects, thank you for covering this song, you really got what this story means to Australians. RIP Shane
Proud as a Newfoundlander that we shared that beach with our Anzac Brothers, as a retired soldier, my heart bleeds for Brothers and sisters in Arms that this song evokes. Lest We Forget.
My grandfather survived this place, Gallipoli by being diverted onto Flanders via Egypt and this song by Eric Bogle, a Scotsman and performed by the Pogues still resonates, because he, my grandfather eventually, repatriated, came home to Australia, gassed and partially blinded. And yet he still gotup on his "soap box' and spoke out about the futilty of war till he died, aged 93.
Then you should hate this shit like I do it’s full of mistakes he isn’t Australian we didn’t land at suvla no tin hats the injury won’t stop him waltzing Matilda etc
@@glennplumb2313 Its not about the performers but about the stupidity and the futile supposed gains for winning. Wars are losers within themselves. And as history has shown, God is always on their side, regardless. I thank thanks you for the comment.
Had literally just gotten out of BRAIN SURGERY when I heard he passed, made my dad play this right away. I was delirious from, again, fricking BRAIN SURGERY and still managed to be touched to the core. What a loss, what a legend.
Many men have shed tears openly to this magnificent song performed by this great band.... The Pogues. Rest in peace old mate. You will be missed dearly.
As an Australian this song touches my heart so deeply.The Pogues did such a brilliant rendition of the Eric Bogle song. There will never be another you Shane. RIP you brilliant poet.
the news of shane's passing today, ugh... what a mark he left on this wounded world. so many memories in my life, always with the pogues playing off somewhere in the distance, across the ocean and back, across continents. RIP, dear shane.
Many versions of this song. None of the others have a narrator who sounds like an old, broken soldier. MacGowan’s broken voice and delivery makes me tear up. Soul crushingly perfect.
Bonjour Anne Marie ....Je regrette de ne pas avoir vu ce gars en vrai ....c'est un Monstre de la Chanson ....je pleure quand il chante car il le faisait avec ses tripes ....Que DIEU prenne soin de lui ....il le mérite .
@@ACey96 Christy's version is very nice. He's like a modern age version of the late Joe Heaney - the king of _a cappella_ traditional Irish folk tunes. Look him up if you haven't heard him before. His album with the green cover is excellent, though much of it is sung in Irish. Coincidentally, before Shane's family moved to Kent, they lived in Tipperary when he was still just a boy. Joe Heaney was a friend of the MacGowans', and visited Shane's childhood home often. Shane heard Joe sing many times as a child, which surely helped inspire his love for Irish folk music. :: end rant :: 😆
Such a brilliant rendition of Eric Bogle's song. I remember standing at Circular Quay in Sydney and having the song in my mind and just sobbing..... all so clear
Shane’s voice made this song , no one ever came close, the band and the voice is all we have left now. Separated but still together. I would have loved to share a Gin with Shane 🤝❤️🍻🇦🇺.
This song makes me so sad. My Grandma left Aghadowey Ireland in her late 20s. She knew she’d probably never her see family again. And she didn’t. Her favourite sister was Matilda and she missed her until the day she died. ❤️
Mais qui pouvait chanter comme ça avec autant de ferveur et de perfection. Shane MacGowan chante toujours juste. À toujours chanté le ton parfait. Cette interprétation est sublime et poignante. Merci pour ce talent.
RIP Shane from meeting my dad at a bar in NY and giving him advice on how should marry that pretty girl before someone took her away as you guessed she became my mum she is from Cork but her dad is from Sheffield so quite a bit of a mix. A great Rendention as always my dad would always see them when he was young he felt a connection to the band as he was an immigrant from Yugoslavia trying to find a place in life and when I was born in 93 he named my middle name shane and I got to meet him when I was 16 with my ramones leather jacket pogues shirt and skinny jeans and converse first thing he says " Oi whats yours favorite song" me being the instant dumbass that I was I answered " Irish Rover" and he looks at me deadpan and then smiles "Good Answer Mate now what can I do for you" we took a bunch of photos he signed my album of Rum Sodomy and the Lash and we sang a bit of "Wild Mountain Thyme" so all in all a great dude he will be missed Your Buddies Joe Strummer and Ronnie Drew are waiting for ya buddie in that great pub in the sky! RIP SHANE
I can't believe he is dead - a part of our DNA, like our language, folklore, landscape and our history - forever intertwined in what it means to be a Gael.
Bin 60 jähriges old Girl mit viel, viel Erlebtem.....erst jetzt jedoch begegneten mir Shawn und die Pogues...nach meiner Lieblingsband Queen erhalten sie mein ❤
Pretty incredible delivery, the slow rhythmic drum beat almost like men marching, Shane delivering eric’s beautifully crafted words. if there ever were a way to summon the dead of war and bring them back to life I think this performance would be the way
Great rendition and full of feeling. The English, Irish and Scottish are all very close to us Aussies and as the same people we share each other's pains and elation. A video of a bloke in an aussie pub singing whilst standing at the bar is worth a look too.
What talent you possessed Shane .what a birthday present for your good friend the lte great siniad o Connor.siniad would have been 57.!! Rip .my condolences to Shane's wife imelda .his family an friends.well Shane you are been laid to rest tomorrow on siniads birthday. SOAR TO THE HEAVENS SHANE .REST EASY..❤❤❤❤
I saw them in 1986ish n Toronto at the concert hall. I can't remember really. I was drunk off my ass. Still the best concert I ever saw that I can't remember, 🤣. I'll tell you what, kids today have no idea how good things were before the internet...
Clancy brothers find no better version other than Pogues of course .. please listen ruclips.net/video/PFCekeoSTwg/видео.htmlsi=b8QWldvwBD9XJe9T@@marccurtis2702
My favourite Pogues song. Just brilliant, poignant and sad. Everything you want in a song and so much more. RIP Shane McGowan. My generation’s poet.
@@presencemedia8508I think they mean this rendition is their favourite song done by the pogues
My favourite version of this too. RIP Shane. ❤
Listened to this over and over today.
It's my favorite Pogues song and my favorite version of it too

i came here as a swede to pay my respect both to shane and the anzac. You did so much more than what we did.
I am Australian, this song breaks my heart …. but Shane’s version is the best in my opinion RIP
Proud as a Newfoundlander that we shared that beach with our Anzac Brothers, as a retired soldier, my heart bleeds for Brothers and sisters in Arms that this song evokes. Lest We Forget.

That's a great story. Yeah, combat veteran here agreeing that war is stupid. I wish people had the balls to remove politicians that push it on us.
And *yet* he still gotup on his soap box.
Why wouldn't he?
No war between nations
No peace between classes ✊🌹

As a aussie thankyou for covering this song brings me to tears everytime i hear it. R.I.P. Shane MacGowan your battle is over rest easy and sleep well
Their version reaches the soul of any veteran.
May he go waltzing matilda… 🫡
Beautifully said, god bless Shane,, we will miss you and love you long time.

Indeed.

As an Australian of Irish and Scottish heritage. Thank you Shane MacGown.
Long Live The Pogues.
Lest We Forget 🇨🇮🕊️🤍✨🇦🇺
A better song about the futility and destruction of war has never been written.
Shane sings it so well you believe he was there.
You nailed it.
A true talent Shane was. May he rest in peace.
This is one of those songs that always makes me cry. Much love for those poor ANZAC boys from here in the US.
Legend of a man, may he rest in peace ❤️
Bow down, pause and listen. RIP Shane.
Powerful lyrics by Bogle & an immense delivery by MacGowan. A song that digs deep!
"and the young people ask me 'what are they marching for?' and I ask myself the same question"
Wow... what a lyric
I’m 43% Irish ☘️ his signing and instruments outstanding cheers 🥂. My mother and myself made us smile and sing thank you.😊
And now another legend is gone. Rest in peace Shane
Shane had a great voice.Haunting and infectious.It grabbed hold of you and carried you along.
He will be sorely missed.
Many versions of this song. None of the others have a narrator who sounds like an old, broken soldier. MacGowan’s broken voice and delivery makes me tear up. Soul crushingly perfect.
Rest in Peace Shane!
What a talent you were, thanks for leaving us this amazing music!
Farewell, dear Soul. It's been a wonderful ride, being alive on this planet while you, too were here. Thank you for your music ❤
I cry everytime I hear this song best version ever
Whoever said Shane Mcgowan can't sing
RIP Shane. This is the song I’ll always associate with you and remember you by.
Mais qui chante comme ça ? Qui ? Qui chante avec cette manière de crier, murmurer et donner ? Personne. Shane MacGowan. Incroyable. Tout. Magnifique.
Bonjour Anne Marie ....Je regrette de ne pas avoir vu ce gars en vrai ....c'est un Monstre de la Chanson ....je pleure quand il chante car il le faisait avec ses tripes ....Que DIEU prenne soin de lui ....il le mérite .
The Pogues at their peak. It would never get this good again.
Shane at his best.......an amazing song, too seldom heard....beautifully sung....
look up christy dignam singing it, its unreal

IMHO the best version of this song. Shane's voice conveys so much.

Seen them twice in this period of history , absolutely fantastic and way way better than the crap out these days of ego and social media scumbags
💯 mate and what an awesome band
Absolutely- any gigs with The Pogues were simply wild fun
Wow, he sang it just as beautifully live. RIP Shane. Legend.
Rest in peace Shane. This is a beautiful rendition of this classic - brings me to tears
Shane’s voice made this song , no one ever came close, the band and the voice is all we have left now.
Separated but still together.
I would have loved to share a Gin with Shane 🤝❤️🍻🇦🇺.
Rest in peace Shane MacGowan!
Bloody amazing! R.I.P. Shane
Love this version..brings a tear to my eyes. Sung with meaning and emotion. RIP Shane...thankyou mate.

Where are ye in Australia.
Rest in Peace Shane. Your extraordinary talents will live on forever
RIP Shane. My gran was born & raised in Tipperary so as an Aussie this tune is extra special to me.
Up Tipp, up Shane MacGowan 💚🤍🧡
Stunning version of a stunning song by the best pogues line up. Will we never learn!
It’s the politicians, they don’t care about us. Wars make them rich.
TERM LIMITS FOR ALL

Not many covers trump the original. This does. Eric must love it
Spending the evening with tears in my eyes, whiskey in my hand and and video after video of this wonderful genius.
RIP Shane from an Aussie fan with Irish in my veins ❤💚
Eine tolle Version dieses schönes Songs,von The Pogues.
A lot of the Aussies that stormed the shores of Gallipoli on the 25th of April 1915, had Irish blood running through their veins.
RIP Shane! ... you'll be missed for your amazing creative gift to humanity!
Pogues, Dubliners, and Wolfe Tones are glorious legends.
The best version of this song ever💜
Anzac Day approaching here to pay my respects to the legend cheers mate
Shane McGowan and the Pogues were the real deal.Shane we miss you
Here’s to you aussies playing two up! Respect from the USA!
RIP Shane ❤

This song motivated me to go to Gallipoli in 1987.... It's still brings me to tears.... Although Eric Bogle wrote it... Shane McGowan made it his own.
RIP SHANE thank's for all, from Corsica

Pretty incredible delivery, the slow rhythmic drum beat almost like men marching, Shane delivering eric’s beautifully crafted words. if there ever were a way to summon the dead of war and bring them back to life I think this performance would be the way
What makes Shane such a great singer? It's hard to put your finger on it. But he's a shaman......
The drumming is like funeral procession drumming. An old part of culture from many parts of Britain.
I love this guy. Cheers Shane MacGowan. Oiy!

Absolutely love this song.. perfectly sung by Shane 🎶
Thank you for the good music! America loves you.
As good as this version is, credit must also be given to Eric Bogle who penned a masterpiece. He surely ranks as one of the greats.
True.
Eric Bogle is a rock in a sea of shit.
Regards from Frankfurt.
Very true.
Check out William chrighton and John Williamson version Aussie accents
