I agree. Liam has been a key player in lots of Hastings bands over the years as well as playing with Brady and Steeleye Span. And here he is playing on the same Brady song last week ! June 29th 2024!!! The beard is grey but the fire burns brightly still. ruclips.net/video/omzlIuCFHPA/видео.html
@@afitzsimons Wow!! You made my night, and kept me awake longer 😅. I never knew that, I never saw that official video, we had no UK TV channels in our West of Ireland home until 1980, never saw top of the pops before that. It led me to the BBC doc "Straight Down The Line"..... Not surprised that they would have Liam in the studio for Bakers, such an iconic song. Thanks again 👏👏👏
Was at Mark Knopflers gig in Dublin a couple of years back, good seats, about 5 rows back. Empty seat beside me, man takes his place during the first song. It was only after the first song had finished i looked at who it was and it was this fucking legend! Told me that Knopfler has caused him to burn many guitars out of disgust at his talent ha. It was also great to see how moved he was by the gig himself, sitting in the crowd just like the rest of us when he easily could be sidestage etc.
gilmour81 I first heard Paul Brady at Vicar Street in Dublin in October 2001 - I was 15 and I was really only going as Mark Knopfler was his guest and I’m a massive fan of his (never miss him on tour) and I was remembering being totally blown away by Paul - he gained another fan that night and I’ve been to see him another four or five times since.
Paul used to open for Dire Straits back in the early '80s. So it's only fitting that he has John Illsley here. And if you have his live album FULL MOON (1984), you'll know that he had Terry Williams on drums for that tour!
This is the song I listened to, when I was trying to hold on to love in the winter of 1994. "It's 10 below on these city streets, but the feeling in your heart is getting colder", sums it up. Paul is just brilliant.
I was up in Bundoran Donegal for a weeks R and R last week with my wife and our black cocker spaniel,and was walking the beautiful Rougey cliff walk (If you haven't done this then do it as soon as you can, absolutely spectacular)!, when this couple walked by and I said to my wife "That's Paul Brady", my absolute hero as a singer/songwriter guitarist, I wanted to tell him that every time I went to see him in concert I would resist the urge to go home and smash my own Takamine guitar, I also wanted to tell him that I used to see him arrive at the AIB in Finglas in his old Renault 4 car as I was arriving in my own 0ld Renault 4 to lodge money for my employers EMI records in Glasnevin, and how I remember him saying that the song he wrote for Tina Turner "Paradise is here" was so successful that it practically cleared his mortgage. Tina Turner was an EMI artist at the time. I wanted to say all these things but I was afraid to disturb them on this beautiful walk on a quite beautiful day. The man is a pure legend. Thanks for uploading this video as it's the best version on youtube!
+Barbara Gobelin Barry Thanks for that info Barbara, I was born in Dungloe myself but my sister still has a place in Bundoran! I'm guessing Paul has a place himself there, as a local told me he is always being spotted around the town.
Paul Brady should re-release this song. So much better than today’s crap. Should have been a major hit back then, and would be now. Great song, love it.
Paul Brady is a brilliant underrated songwriter. The band seems like ad hoc, put together for the show. These guys are totally into what they're doing and Kenny is just brilliant. It's not an error - that's playing live.
First heard it in 1975 on Irish television. Saw him many times around the clubs at the time. Still writing brilliant songs. Listen to Cliff singing 21st Century Christmas. You can here him all over it, the season thats in it🙂🙂
This guy is the music worlds best kept secret!! Awesome in the studio and then some more when live. Been fortunate enough to see him 4 times in the last 12 months, just wish he had another tour booked now.
Multi millionaire and well known among his peers.... Imagine being able to call on Dire Straits bass player to help out. Prob not well known, prob people have rocked to his songs and not known it. Tina Turner had a few of his songs on her albums at a time when the money was good. Legend
@@christinequinn5355 Hi, he did indeed, there is a long list of fab artists that Mr Brady has collaborated with or had songs covered by. I think it's the sign of a master when others want to cover your stuff..... opened for Dire Straits in the USA one tour as well.
@Longbow1690 The Drummer is Liam Genockey, I have seen him play with 'Buick six' ; the Vicky Clayton Band, and the last time was last summer with ,Steeleye Span'.
I’m just discovering Paul Brady and loving his music. Went way back to the early stuff and then Spirits Colliding, then back to Hard Station. Amazing evolution of his style. Reminds me of Van Morrison too. Loving his vocals and open tuned guitars.
Brought to see him in the Hammersmith Odeon in 1987 by some English colleagues whilst in my first year in London at the tender age of 19. Never know him until then. Never forgotten him since......
Remember the first time i saw this or even heard of the guy with a bottle of Bacardi Spiced rum and my Best Frien and Mentor the late Billy Rivers RIP my friend Love and miss you Bro
What musicianship from them all. They all gave 100per cent. For pure showmanship and style I'd love to have bought the man a pint of the black stuff, the drummer that is!
Wanna hear my brother singing this you close your eyes n just sounds like Paul he’s a very good friend of his and me being the youngest of seven 5 bhoys two girls this was never off in our home 💚💚💚💚💚💚
All these years listening to Mr Brady.Seen him live more times than i am willing to admit. I couldn't decide who he put me in mind of.Got it recently, Stephen Stills.CSN.☘🇮🇪☘🇮🇪☘
First heard crazy dreams while driving home late one night many years ago the DJ didn't say who the song title or artist was . spent all the next day ringing round to get pauls name managed to get a cassette of pauls album liked his music ever since very talented guy.. many excellent songs
what a cool-looking, and fantastic drummer. Sorry to hear about the passing of your uncle, the godofors. And Paul Brady, well, he is amazing. I've seen him a few times. On top of his musical talents he is great with the audience.
I have followed him for years, seen him live and wondered why he not better known. He is a great singer songwriter.
I'll never know why this wasn't a massive hit!
Underrated big time
Seen him in Dublin in an old opera house sounded fab
Only problem we were all pissed lol
And that drummer, what a delight.
Liam Genockey

@@geordiebill48 Thanks for the link, most appreciated.
Power, punch and in the pocket. What a gift to a band a drummer like that is.
Liam Genockey. What a drummer.
Drummer is as smooth as butter, not an easy feat to play 16ths on the hi hat most of the way through…kudos to him and great song too
Liam Genockey. Steeleye Span and worked for Brady for years. Cool as the artic 👌👏
@@jimbanda You can see him on the Baker Street video too.
@@afitzsimons Wow!! You made my night, and kept me awake longer 😅. I never knew that, I never saw that official video, we had no UK TV channels in our West of Ireland home until 1980, never saw top of the pops before that.

I always say only an irish person can write such lyrics one of his many classic tunes big fan

Good one - then he gets the Dire Straits bass player for his own band!
he is the king of the strings!!! Under appreciated big time!
Speaking of Dire Straits, check out who's playing on the bass, look familiar?
Paul used to open for Dire Straits back in the early '80s. So it's only fitting that he has John Illsley here. And if you have his live album FULL MOON (1984), you'll know that he had Terry Williams on drums for that tour!

Of the 35000 tracks I have, this has to be in my top one. Awesome !
Saw him in concert a few times in London. He's an incredible musician and even more incredible vocalist. Absolute legend.
Fabulous performance and Liam Genockey on drums is just superb. Great band all round.
Steeleye Span top drummer, nice to c him lending a ✋! Paul Brady, a fine yet sadly underrated guitarist and singer, gud to c Jules has got taste 😊
A brilliant drummer, he drives this song along, love it
@@devsedit Liam Genokey played for Jerry Rafferty as well

+teddyoneills...Paul's parents had a caravan in Bundoran when we were kids in Strabane!
+Barbara Gobelin Barry Thanks for that info Barbara, I was born in Dungloe myself but my sister still has a place in Bundoran! I'm guessing Paul has a place himself there, as a local told me he is always being spotted around the town.
He is only human, not a god, what did you have to lose!!
He's a God to me Danny, and you're right, he is human, so he should be allowed a quiet walk with his wife!!

Teddy O'Neill Fair point Teddy
Crazy I'm. Just knowing how awesome Paul Brady is
What a great song and such a powerful and clear vocal from Paul. You are amazing ;)
In the top league of Irish talent
You know what time it is. Just sayin' y'all.
Paul Brady should re-release this song. So much better than today’s crap. Should have been a major hit back then, and would be now. Great song, love it.
Here again 21st February 2021 relaxing with Irish Magic love from Bernie in the garden in Ireland Hope everyone is well during these crazy times
Paul Brady is a brilliant underrated songwriter. The band seems like ad hoc, put together for the show. These guys are totally into what they're doing and Kenny is just brilliant. It's not an error - that's playing live.
That is Liam Genockey he not only is the best drummer i have ever heard he is also a lovely man he and his kit are one. andy
Just by chance listened to this and what a treasure.
First heard it in 1975 on Irish television. Saw him many times around the clubs at the time. Still writing brilliant songs. Listen to Cliff singing 21st Century Christmas. You can here him all over it, the season thats in it🙂🙂
Probably the best artist this country has produced
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful ❤
This guy is the music worlds best kept secret!! Awesome in the studio and then some more when live. Been fortunate enough to see him 4 times in the last 12 months, just wish he had another tour booked now.
One of my favourite Irish musicians - a real soul feel.
I love this song, the last verse uplifts me. 'We'll find some other crazy dream tomorrow' that says it all!
Fabulous set with excellent people, Pauls singing is an utter joy, this man blows away a lot of these so called stars nowadays.
What an album that was .. Hard Station .. never gets old.
Amazing he has made approx €5m from just three songs, none of them this. Happy out. Supreme , sublime, peerless Mr Brady.
Amazing singer songwriter and my favourite song
One of Irelands greatest talents. He's had success and some recognition but not on the level he deserves
Multi millionaire and well known among his peers.... Imagine being able to call on Dire Straits bass player to help out. Prob not well known, prob people have rocked to his songs and not known it. Tina Turner had a few of his songs on her albums at a time when the money was good. Legend
@@jimbanda Bonnie Rait also recorded his songs.

great song great singer songwriter
@Longbow1690 The Drummer is Liam Genockey, I have seen him play with 'Buick six' ; the Vicky Clayton Band, and the last time was last summer with ,Steeleye Span'.
that this is actually better than the original recording is a testament to what a fine musician Paul Brady is.

Discovered Paul only two years ago on Spotify. What an artist. Legend.
Paul with good people, a joy indeed.
Saw him in Newry Town Hall last Saturday; great night!
me too!!
Me three!
Paul Brady , simply a great artist .
Great song, So much admiration for Paul, Looking forward to seeing him Saturday night
the coolest drummer i ever fucken saw
Think it be a guy called Fran Been.
The drummer is liam genockey
Without a feckin' doubt.
What a wonderful performance, never ever heard this before !!
Check out his version of Arthur McBride live from 1977 if you have not already
Goddam! That’s what you call a song… All of those guys are bang on tune and at the top their game.
Hard to believe 16 yrs ,still so good.
First release early 1980's
Just the best....every version of this song, wherever I've heard him play it....London, Dublin, you name it....just the best....
Amazing singer/ songwriter…I go to see him whenever he’s playing in Donegal /Derry👏🎶❤️
Brilliant version n I love the get up of the drummer n the laid back attitude of the dude on the p n o 😂😂😂😂the bass player is a cool dude as well
bass player is john iisley former dire straights
Played this forgotten song. One of the great love songs and performances
Sensational
Great song fantastic singer! Paul has such a great voice!
Remember the first time i saw this or even heard of the guy with a bottle of Bacardi Spiced rum and my Best Frien and Mentor the late Billy Rivers RIP my friend Love and miss you Bro
Liam Genockey has to be the master,I have worked with some good people but the man is simply the best.
One of best combos I've heard. Can only think of The Band to compare
With Kenny Craddock on the Roland... any band would be top caliber musically.
Great performance, he deserved a better audience
Pure Magic and a treasure ⭐
One of his best... So talented 🎤🎶🎸❤️
what a great great song brilliant
This is timeless magic music
He and so many others from Ireland confirm to me that’s where melody blossoms.
What musicianship from them all. They all gave 100per cent. For pure showmanship and style I'd love to have bought the man a pint of the black stuff, the drummer that is!
Still listening to this great tune
Wanna hear my brother singing this you close your eyes n just sounds like Paul he’s a very good friend of his and me being the youngest of seven 5 bhoys two girls this was never off in our home 💚💚💚💚💚💚
Absolutely ❤️ this song 🎵
Still enjoying 2018 🤗
It's like good wine it's gets better with age..
Excellent Presentation,
Everyone on fire here - tremendous musicians and wee Paul giving hi all.
That's a great line he sings "And you need a woman's love to make you Stronger". 😉😉😉
Amazing,
the Big John on bass...such a big surprise
never heard him sing like this, very different, but that great voice is unmistakable
All these years listening to Mr Brady.Seen him live more times than i am willing to admit. I couldn't decide who he put me in mind of.Got it recently, Stephen Stills.CSN.☘🇮🇪☘🇮🇪☘
keep coming back to this amazing guy..
Paul Brady is Seamus Heaney and Morrison all put in one amazing ensemble ,can’t wait to see him again in Dunlewey

Incredible
Just brilliant, crazy dreams we have all had them...............
A superb performance of one of the all time great classic songs.
First heard crazy dreams while driving home late one night many years ago the DJ didn't say who the song title or artist was . spent all the next day ringing round to get pauls name managed to get a cassette of pauls album liked his music ever since very talented guy.. many excellent songs
I do this frequently. It's how I find my most favourite music. I don't give up (y)
the brilliant wee man from Strabane
Beautiful ❤️
Absolute Clinker....1st time ive heared this.....Another plus for the Irish!!
Saw him in Vicar St last week. Good as ever.
+Jim Cunningham you lucky man!
Coolest musicians, including Mr. Brady, I've ever heard. Should have been a monster hit.
If it sounded like that when it was released it would have, me thinks
Brilliant just love it his 70s version is also amazing
Just beautiful
Tks for bringing me back to this clip with your response.Had forgotten this clip. Sweet focussed music and the band is so tight.
Any genre a genius!
... Songs are the farstes was Tor knowledge and empathy and handkrsft.
My Respekt and Love vom Salzburg.
