Great job well done

I saw these incredible guys when I went to London. One of the good memories from UK. Regards from Madeira Portugal

+ Gallus Cowboy. What a performer. I think he beats (and there’s a maybe) Tom Petty. And I’m betting you that Tom Petty was Scotch Irish. Just to make it clear, I’m only speaking of the sound, not the lyrics. I have just recently discovered Mike Scott and what a pleasure. I started with “The Stolen Child”, by Yeats .How beautifully executed . I don’t really know about Tom Petty’s origin, it’s just that the sound is so familiar. I come from a region rich in the Scotch Irish. Think John Jacob Niles and Appalachia.

+The Scottish Cowboy, or is that the Irish Cowboy, the Gaelic Cowboy. Well, Mike is both an Irish rocker and a Scottish rocker if there ever was one. I wish I had discovered this band and this song before my half Irish husband died. I think he would have reveled in it, as any good Irishman would, even if sung by a Scots Man. Thank you for this music and performance.

Looks like they are having a lot of fun. Guitarist must be related!

LOVE!!!!

WHY OH WHY do audiences for this song always go "Woo-hoo-hoo!" on all three choruses, when in fact it's just a single "woo!" the first two times and then a full "Woo-hoo-hoo!" the last time. It's supposed to be climactic, that's why he gives it the full monty on the final chorus. I don't know why this bugs me so much!!! Maybe cos I'm a musician and he recorded it that way (and still sings it that way) for a good structural reason. But people can't stop themselves going "Woo-hoo-hoo!" every single time. In fact every musician or band I've ever seen playing this song in pubs (and sometimes I've been a member of the band!) sing it that way too. Because they overlook the subtleties; which are what make good songs. They're diluting the effect can't they see?? Or rather hear...please someone tell me you agree! I can't be the only one...ok sorry, I'll go and lie down now...

Awesome spirit!

Sounds like Bob Dylan :) I almost ALWAYS think "why not just listen to old Bob Dylan songs instead?" However, I can also see why people get influenced, or why others would want to write their own songs, plus I have a friend who plays or produces the water boys. I actually they thought they were easy listening or some pop band

This is my favorite of the live versions of this song! Awesome energy and the video captures that well. I just love it!

The BEST!!!!!

love how the clapping keeps The Band in time...can't wait to see you guys Stateside here real soon...!

These guys are brilliant. Bought a CD today - I've been listening to it over and over all day.

This video always makes me smile.

Yeah he sounds like Mike Scott, who he is.The Whole of the Moon guy...

Excellent - fantastic gig in Holmfirth on Friday night. I hope a DVD is released soon.

I send a big hug from Ecuador

Absolute class, thank you for uploading the legend that is Mike Scott aka The Waterboys :o)

Re;franki2702's comment below.Mike Scott was 48 when this was filmed! I agree that in this vid he DOES look young- maybe his hair helps! I know how old he is cos I am same age! Wish I looked as good : = /

this song makes me cry always ... but in a good way :-)

I love it so much

I'm not paranoïd, but all others around...

Thankfully the cameraman didn't do a twirl too lol

Team grandeur is measured by force of imagination.......
