Luke kelly just had that voice they pulled the truth out of thin air. He could sing a light through all the darkness and bring all Ireland together, even it only for a few minutes. When you hear Luke or Ronnie, you're hearing the best and worst of boundless Irish hearts shouting and screaming and finding their place in your heart.
Celt music is very raw and truthful….my father and mother were immigrants to England, from Ireland. I was born here I. 1962, and spoke English easyish….but my parents were Gaelic…. Discrimination was hard for my parents, but they worked hard and the English people welcomed them with open arms. English people are honest with immigrants so long as you are honest and want to fit in….you must work hard like they do and not expect no favours. Don’t take the piss and they will respect you…
that is beautiful man, i love these type of comments they make me feel such love to think you can find the beauty in our music. Music is truly beyond comprehension in what it provides
My thanks will always be towards the Czech government after WW2 for their aid to Israel after an embargo against Israel was set up that nobody was allowed to sell Israel arms to protect themselves from the onslaught 1947. That conflict, as can be seen today hasn't ended. As an Irishman said all of the Earth belongs to Ireland but Israel is Ireland's heart and soul.
Luke the minstrel boy had THE HONOUR to see him a few times often you could hear a pin drop when the MASTER was performing. Wish you well in Holland ❣️❣️
I just told my mother that this song makes me think of our people. So much is lost and gone forever, but I remember Grandpa would've sang songs like this. No matter where ye roam. And far from Ireland though we may be, we'll make it back one day. We're going home.
This song was written by Phil Coulter who lived a short distance from where I grew up. He is five years older than me but I remember he passed our house daily on his way to St Columb's College. Consequently, the words of the song mean so much to me. I regard it as the best song ever written.
Over here in Kyoto Japan... Just back from an Irish bar watching the rugby. Nothing you want more when your a 1000 miles from home than then the rasp of old Luke ringing in your ears 💪🇮🇪
As a 30 years old russian guy who'd never been to Derry, I can surely say, that even without living through it all this song in Kelly's rendition made me ugly cry so many times.
Absolutely...like every song he sang! This, Scorn, Raglan Road etc etc......he has the definitive version of anything he touched. What a talent...what a man...
All of these men except John Sheehan & Sean Cannon have passed now. Only the recent additions into the last iteration (prior to 2o1o?) and now form the tribute band Dublin Legends. Great music is left but only their music & our memories of them remain - they are at Fiddler’s Green.
I'm a Proud Irish American Man - from the country here in Maryland , and when I see how they've "cityfied" my old home town , this song rings in my heart
Powerful voice. I cry every time I hear this song because of how accurate it is to the events that took place and the slaughter of Irish men woman and children. R.I.P Luke you were and always will be a legend
The late Luke Kelly was singer with a great voice who gave performances filled with passion. Thanks to him and The Dubliners for the music from a Scottish fan.
Luke had the unique ability to put emotion into every word he sang. This is a sad strained song and from the begining you can hear both of those things in his voice. I wish i was alive to see the man. Met a few lads who heard him in concerts and in sessions. From what i can gather, the recordings dont do him justice. Passion for this music was something Luke was just able to put across to the listener. I doubt we will ever see another like him
I know this song is practically a Phil Coulter's memory of Derry, but it really transcends all borders and everyone can in one way or the other relate to it. That is why this song will always be relevant and "modern" even though it is already about half a century old. Well done mr. Coulter and well done Luke. If it wasnt't for Luke I don't know if it would generate that kind of "notoriety" and fame. R.i.p. Luke, you are one of the greatest ever.
I've been following Lukes songs for 16 years after seeing an Irish girl sing a couple in Tenerife . Luke is probably the most passionate singer I have ever seen , just awesome and I will never ever stop listening to his songs !!
What a tune I'm 21 always knew about these never listened till the passing of my grandad who was from the liberties in Dublin he passed away and my dad kept listened to this song and my god the words are amazing what a song what a band wanted to comment on the live version as there's no official video to this song but wow
Luke Kelly was a friend of my farthers in the late 60s and Early 70s my farther was a bar man in Ireland and in London. My self I never knew him but I've loved his songs from when I was a young boy but never truly understood his songs until I got a lot older so to me his music only got better and still gets me, it's fantastic at your age of 21 that in this day and age you love his music it shows me how fantastic and brilliant the man's music and voice was .
My first musical love was The Dubliners. I would have been around 4 when I played their tapes over and over. I knew them as the orange (Polydor) tapes then. Unfortunately, Luke Died when I was 12. I can't think of a group I would rather see live - if only I could travel back in time.
I finally got to say to my 82 year old mother when discussing family history the line that's what lost is lost and gone forever, I've been waiting such a long time to say that line.
Incredible rendition,This song moved Luke and in particular this performance of it at 2.50 Luke was either sweating or crying under his right eye and I had noticed earlier his body movements showed a lot of adrenaline or emotion in the way he moved , answers on a postcard
you can see that they are sweating heavily in every concert. this was for a tv recording in belgium (in front of a terrible, terrible audience), so the lights for tv gave them some extra sweats. i think (but of course could be mistaken) he was in an angry mood, trying to get the audience to clap along for a few songs before this one and the audience only followed for a few seconds (they seemed to be rather the opera viewers then irish folk). he closed the gig by saying "i hope you enjoyed it as much as we did" and i'm sure that was quite ironical. but i assume he was just in the right mood for this song, passion mixed with some anger and frustration. incredible performance as always from them and him. he had so much more to give, shame he passed away so early. :-/
It's a tear as u can see at 2.42 2.43 the tear glistens in the tear duct before falling from.the middle of his eye what a fucking Irish legend 💙💙💙💙🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
From a miniture liittle County years behind our counterparts, we've produced some of the greatest artistry known to mankind. From James Joyce and Bram Stoker to U2 and the Dubliners . Wan the Irish 🇮🇪
I recently returned to Dublin after 4 years. I saw they had erected a small statue of Luke near Grafton St. I almost wept. I made sure my wife took a photo of me with it. Solidarity, Irish Republicans. Never forget the four green fields.
There are actually two statues of Luke in the city. He has appeared on two postage stamps, has a bridge named after him and recently a 15 euro silver coin issued with his image.
One of the best reminds me of when you could run up the dark lanes.SIR LUKE KELLY SALUTE 🫡 UR MY KING ur songs will continue and never forgotten ❤️ 💖 ♥️ Darren DUBLIN LIBERTIES BOY 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Sometimes I find this amazing, sometimes it feels like Luke is singing at a different tempo than the musicians are playing, with the fiddle drowning the rest of the music... But always get carried along with the candour and the passion. Absolutely excellent song writing
This song,these words I lived them,I grew up in this way,and if I had the choice,I would ask God to let me grow up in my town once more with me Ma and sisters and brothers

This still sends shivers up my spine. Music that speaks to my soul.
Anyone that attended this performance lived a better life than 99.9% of us.
You have no idea what any of these individuals have been through
@@p123-o5h yes we do. They got to hear our Luke live when he was still with us. I second the original comment.
@@p123-o5h erm...... missing the point much?

I'm Czech and I love Irish and Celtic music Luke and Shane MacGowan are immortal
Putting on spancil hill right now. Thanks m8. I'm irish.
Huge number of European and especially Czech bands influenced by Scots/Irish and Bluegrass musicians. A joy to listen to ...

This song always pulls at my heart strings. I'm English, my Grandparents were Irish, I'm immensely proud of my Irish heritage and I always will be.
As a dutch person who loves Irish culture and music, this man is the voice of Ireland, Love Ronnie Drew too but Luke kelly was something Special.

hello from ireland
Good music knows no borders.
Don't we all have a "town" that is painted with sadness and tarnished memories.
Possibly not like his memories of Derry during the Troubles.
Makes me think of my father who died during the Covid lockdowns. this is healing.
Met him and got to know him in 1967! Unbelievable friend he became. Wonderful person!
Proper jealous boss.
Wow I'd love to have met and had a pint with Luke. Absolute legend
Just one of them songs that can't ever be sung by anyone other than luke kelly what a brilliant song 👏
Salute Friend LUKE KELLY VOICE PRICELESS
Luke Kelly was a one of a kind orignal. You won't see his kind again. He was one of the best.
As a 30 years old russian guy who'd never been to Derry, I can surely say, that even without living through it all this song in Kelly's rendition made me ugly cry so many times.
Not sure if anyone else noticed the tears running down Luke and John Sheahans faces. Pure passion.
It's sweat mate
I know he didn’t write it but Luke Kelly owns this song.
Absolutely...like every song he sang! This, Scorn, Raglan Road etc etc......he has the definitive version of anything he touched. What a talent...what a man...
RIP Luke Kelly
All of these men except John Sheehan & Sean Cannon have passed now.

What a voice !!! Unforgettable Luke Kelly....he surely left his mark on this earth.
This song always hits me right in the chest. It is just an amazing and moving song.
Same here ! My heart is ponding so hard that it wants to tear up my chest
I've been following Lukes songs for 16 years after seeing an Irish girl sing a couple in Tenerife . Luke is probably the most passionate singer I have ever seen , just awesome and I will never ever stop listening to his songs !!
One of the few that I would rather watch live than listen to a studio recording. He’s just so into it.

Hi Kasey. Always nice to see new people discovering The Dubliners. Thanks for watching.
@@TheDublinersOfficial thank you for the great music

@@paulgilraine3127what part of London my grandad moved to south east London for work
Absolutely brilliant
Absolutely wonderful. One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
Indeed, I have to say, no song ever moved me like this one.
An ex girlfriend introduced me to the dubliners and now I can't stop listening to them and she was 4rm westmeath lol.....absolutely brilliant
This brings tears to my eyes. My granddads favourite song as he was a proud Derry man. RIP granda Tommy I’ll miss you. You’re in gods hands xx
It's a classic for sure. No one will ever match Luke's performance.
God what a voice ,great man and song
My first musical love was The Dubliners. I would have been around 4 when I played their tapes over and over. I knew them as the orange (Polydor) tapes then. Unfortunately, Luke Died when I was 12. I can't think of a group I would rather see live - if only I could travel back in time.
I hope that in another, normal reality, Luke Kelly gets everything he deserves
The problem is this one is too “normal”
Singing along with Luke is like singing with God. No matter how my skill might increase with the years he always gently reminds me I'm just a man.
There simply never has, nor ever will be a better singer
Me too , my grandad was a riveter building the Titanic. On the other side Scots and a great big lot of Yorkshire folk in between
I finally got to say to my 82 year old mother when discussing family history the line that's what lost is lost and gone forever, I've been waiting such a long time to say that line.
I'm English a northern boy and apart from the trouble times my childhood was very similar. I love love love this song and Luke Kelly voice 💕
There was only one Luke Kelly and Phil Coulter had Luke's voice in his head when he rote this song. Thanks for watching.
One of the best songs I've ever heard Luke Kelly was absolutely brilliant

Never fails to bring a tear, legend 🙏
Beautiful song sung so well
This is the man who sings this song in a way that just makes me think of how just beautiful a song this is ….. 🙏
Powerful and yet beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
So much passion, power and such a voice. Luke Kelly was one in a lifetime of a person.
A great voice, man and person. So proud to have known you. A gentle man.
That song brings tears to my eyes
A great singer and a great man!
Haunting, simply haunting
Raw passion .. Chills you to the bone
Luke Kelly may be the best singer of Irish songs
His range is just phenomenal. What a singer, perfection.
Wonderful song with luke Kelly emotion. Fantastic!

We won't hold U2 against ya.
Amazing song
its incredible . where are the future singers.
i love both Luke and Ronnies singing
But i'm in awe of the way Luke lets his passion out.
Me faz sofrer, mas não me canso de assistir este vídeo e TODOS os ouros do dubliners com o Luke...
não sei como que eu achei um otro brasileiro aqui

4 visitors from a place where legend is common and they sit atop the peak. Simply stunning.
I wish I could meet someone else who knew him then!
R.I.P luke kelly :(
so powerfull... so sad....
Brings back a lot of memories I grew in the creggan in Derry I’m a long from Derry now Australia well sung by Luke Kelly.
Hope you’re doing well brother .. You can take the man out of Derry but never the Derry out of the man ☘️
The song I loved so well.
What a performance
God, what a beautiful song.
I LOVE THEM, I LUV IRELAND
Great song and wonderful singer luke Kelly ❤️. Love the banjo player though 👌
May God bless and look after you Luke in heaven for ever. Amen.
Lukey The Legend. Never to be forgotten.
The Best! Thank You I listen to this song all the time.
Still loving , this song and this man
rip luke kelly you are an inspiration to me
Passion at its best
Luke Kelly sadly missed ❤
MY ABSLUTE FAVORITE SONG!! iM 53, SINCE I WAS ABOUT 5??
One of the best songs ever made in my opinion
I recently returned to Dublin after 4 years. I saw they had erected a small statue of Luke near Grafton St. I almost wept. I made sure my wife took a photo of me with it. Solidarity, Irish Republicans. Never forget the four green fields.
There are actually two statues of Luke in the city. He has appeared on two postage stamps, has a bridge named after him and recently a 15 euro silver coin issued with his image.
Anyone who can sing Like This man will never die ….he is with all of us forever ……..a true patriot in every sense of the meaning ….
Thanks too the band sorry for so long great stuff great❤
The boys are greatness
I love this song
Thinking of this song and all the people in Gaza. One day you’ll be free!
I miss you dad I’m greatful you introduced me to Luke rest easy the 2 of ye 👊
One of the best reminds me of when you could run up the dark lanes.SIR LUKE KELLY SALUTE 🫡 UR MY KING ur songs will continue and never forgotten ❤️ 💖 ♥️ Darren DUBLIN LIBERTIES BOY 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
What a legacy X
At this moment, this timeless song speaks to me for Gaza!
hope you gain solace & strength from the words & experience - free palastine ...
Ah Luke, never forgotten!
One of a kind!
In my memory I will always see the parish that I have carried with me all my days
So long Aghyaran
Till we meet again
Sometimes I find this amazing, sometimes it feels like Luke is singing at a different tempo than the musicians are playing, with the fiddle drowning the rest of the music... But always get carried along with the candour and the passion. Absolutely excellent song writing
Except they didn't write it. Phil Coulter did
I think Luke is singing in that rhythm because he's having to play the banjo at the same time. He changes note when he changes chord.
And? I said it was excellent song writing, not that he wrote it
This song,these words I lived them,I grew up in this way,and if I had the choice,I would ask God to let me grow up in my town once more with me Ma and sisters and brothers
Like he sings from the heart, a moving song
Luke the Legend.❤
Love this song. Reminds me of my native Molhill
My darling Luke you are so missed my love.
Love it x
