Over the past 5 years I’ve come back to this video over and over again-like dozens of times. I’ll randomly think of it and just have to pull it up. JUST CAN’T GET OVER IT. I feel certain I’m not alone. Any other cult classic type listeners of KAN out there?
You certainly aren't alone Joe. This piece is so dynamic, 'driving', compelling, evocative, racy and just downright gorgeous! Nice to know there are others out there who feel the same when they listen to this phenomenal performance.
It must have been around 1976, I was 16 y. old, when I went through the collection of our local record shop, somewhere in the Netherlands, dissatisfied with the music I'd heard sofar, when my eyes catched a cover with four people holding their instruments and forming 'The Bothy Band'. The moment I heard the first chords, I was lost and I was home. 'The maids of mitchelstown' still is hauntingly beautiful. At the time there was a Dutch band called Flairck, clearly inspired by the celtic musical tradition and with the 'Butterfly' prominent on their first album. I was on the right track, it was seeded in my soul. Long story short, I played Stivell's à L'Olympia hundreds of times. And then came bands like Shooglenifty, Kila, Lunassa, and ..... Flook. Turn on, tune in and fall apart. Again and again. Amazing. Finnegan is a gift.
Went to Ortigueira that night, this was an absolute discovery for me...nobody could stop dancing that music. That mad whistle player, with his rhythm section travelled far above the rest...
This to me is just Celtic perfection! Especially get goosebumps when the crowd are chanting 'hey' in time with the music! Definitely one of my all time favourite performances of all time! Oh and we definitely need a live album of this show!
Actos Management just thought you guys should know I watch this performance every week because honestly it's THAT good! I really loom forward to a live album :D
stumbled across this.... listened to it a few times... found everything else I could of KAN, then returned and listened to this another 20 times... I cannot get enough... almost a decade too late but how lucky am I that this is here on the net for me to listen to over and over to!?
I got music chills from this music the first time I listened to it. This generally only happens with great songs that I have heard before but haven't listened to for a long time. Epic music!
They released "Sleeper" in 2012 - dunno if it's what you're looking for. It has this song on it as well as the Queen of Rangoon etc. www.amazon.co.uk/Kan-Sleeper-Music-CD/dp/B007KE1IAK
+lights779 Ortigueira is a city in the north of Galicia, Spain. Basque flags are not there because of the location of the city where this took place but because all of the north of Spain is mainly Celt
Cause they're also Celts...legends say first Celtic god, Breogan, came from Galicia...and the Tuatha de Danann probably also came from there... See Pórtico de la Gloria at Santiago, have a sight on those celtic instruments sculpted almost thousand years ago, and tell me...

Here I am almost in 2024 and still coming back to this priceless jewel ☘️

I can attest that you are not alone! I currently have their CD in my car!

So much energy here
Any chance this live album will ever see the light of day? It would be a dream come true for me.
not enough words to describe

Oh how I wish I was there... This clip give me energy, over and over again.

We are very glad that you like it.
We are trying to edit the albun of this live concert, I hope it will be a reality soon.
Actos Management just thought you guys should know I watch this performance every week because honestly it's THAT good! I really loom forward to a live album :D
We think the same as you and we have everything prepared but we lack some small details to edit it. I hope it will be soon.
This gives Me so much positive energy🙏🙏and I only can dream that I could play Bass with these guys some day...Bless you all“KAN“ and Thank you🙏
One of my favourite tunes by kan. Amazing 👏👏
J'ai des frissons quand j'écoute cette flûte ensorcelée!! Ce sont des prodiges on ne peut en dire plus!

I’m here again for the umpteenth time wishing Kan had this on a live album…. Cooking pizza in my front garden in Melbourne with Kan blaring!!
I was there!!!! Fucking brilliant music!!!!
God! One second in and thus video just got me awake again
Unbelievable. So fast - I nearly got myself into a frenzy listening to that! God knows what would have happened if I had seen it live! Brilliant...
This is very beautiful celtic music! BIG LIKE from Romania!
Venham para o Brasil, por favor!
Been a huge Brian Finnegan fan for a long time. So cool to have this guy on my album! This is a sublime performance. Well done mate!
It is not difficult if you get in touch, he is usually willing to collaborate with other musicians
He was a joy to work with. Tried him out on a well known cuban song. Not released yet.
hello！can you just tell me something more about Kan please？
Layers and layers of absolute genius. Nowhere to go from here, apart from pure bliss🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍
I got music chills from this music the first time I listened to it. This generally only happens with great songs that I have heard before but haven't listened to for a long time. Epic music!
Masterpiece!
it seems to me that this was a concert to remember...high voltage at both ends of the stage
He is the best pennywhistle player, I'm in China, can play it, too .hope to see him
that's a 200 euro whistle but you're right :)
Volved a Ortigueira por favor! Brian Finnegan❤
Pensei que o vídeo estava acelerado. Excelente.
Still great
Possibly sickest video on RUclips
Super!
Awesome!
Wow can't sit still, wish could get CD of their tunes. Love their music

Tearin' it up... only wish they'd released a live cd before breaking up.
We have a full live concert, it is a good idea, I'll talk to them. Thanks for the suggestion.
Convince them... they're the best thing I've ever heard....such talent
.!

Good question.

Брайнушка, оставайся у нас насовсем. Пачпорт тебе дадим)))
Actos; you're welcome. While I enjoy the studio cd, Kan live does seem more dynamic.
Live is more dynamic and exciting.
Cheers
You can trust me...I was there, they were like a powertrain steaming...
Total
Sweet Jesus ....Is Maith Liom
What's the name of the last tune in this medley?
The song is a variation on a Brian Finnegan composition called Nigth ride to Armagh that appears on his solo album "The Ravishing genius Of Bones"
A morder esquinas ,ja ja bailalo
i really want to see him in his concerts，does anyone know how to do it？
Unfortunately at this time it is impossible since he has decided not to continue together as a group. Maybe in the future.
Actos Management
oh that is a big pity. But thank a lot for your good information.seems that he wants to play alone😖
@@user-yr8ue4tx5c he's playing with a band called "Flook" now. I think he switched between the two bands.
👍
Actos; just one more thing; where/how will such a release be announced? Thanks.
At the moment we think about it and see what possibilities we have to carry it out.
we announced on our web www.actosmanagement.com
Baiuca
Why is there basque and galician flags?
+M.A.V World because that's where the show was
+MGHM And also because they are also Celts they belong.
+lights779 Ortigueira is a city in the north of Galicia, Spain. Basque flags are not there because of the location of the city where this took place but because all of the north of Spain is mainly Celt
Cause they're also Celts...legends say first Celtic god, Breogan, came from Galicia...and the Tuatha de Danann probably also came from there...
See Pórtico de la Gloria at Santiago, have a sight on those celtic instruments sculpted almost thousand years ago, and tell me...
Cómo se maneja Resines con el violín. Un grande.
Pues no veas Pepe viyuela con la flauta, jajaja
Where is the bass player?
The guitarist has an octaver that makes the bass
Creo que debia de ser "Night Ride", no "Nigth Ride",
I think that should be not
preferred the Flook version...just sayin'..................
Brilliant !!
muy fuerte esto viva kan flook Lau
