I grew up watching their TV show and was lucky enough to see this line up live before Will left and Jimmy passed away... to this day one of the funnest concerts I've ever seen!
Fantastic! A great collection of the boys' old 'real' songs, which Irish Rovers fans love so much. In order... The Puppet Song (Whiskey on a Sunday) Lily the Pink Black Velvet Band The Unicorn The Orange and The Green All Rovers classics from their early days.
I remember the lads when they came to my University to do a concert (Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo) and being such a fan, I went backstage to meet them and they all signed the Rovers album I had brought with me; then me mom and Dad threw the album out when I was away for a while :(
I believe this clip is from their 'Silver Anniversary' TV special, as I remember them doing a medley of most requested songs on that. Would LOVE to see this special (along with their 1971-75 TV show) released on DVD. CBC holds the copyright, so that would be the place to start.
