Taken from Footsteps Live in Concert

[@johnedwardhands6865]

I NEVER KNEW THIS GUY WAS THIS GOOD.❤❤❤❤

[@Doctor_Kissworthy]

There aren't many old rockers like Chris who sing their old songs in the original key. Well done, old boy!

[@alexiswoodbury7326]

Well... he does all the tough notes in falsetto :P

[@furbaggles]

TheHalfBloodPrince I think you've got Melodyne (autotune) to thank for that. Can hear it all over it.

[@IndyRosebush]

BS!

[@stuartjohnson6476]

Bullshit Ross. You can see he is straining to sing this at times, but manages it. Although not as powerful as he was 30 years ago, it's still bloody amazing!

[@jongbong1912]

Sorry but there's defo pitch correction on his voice, sorry if you're too much of a fan boy to hear it haha

[@georgetedford9851]

Been hearing this song forever, it still rocks

[@ninaholz34]

Chris de burgh ist einer der normalsten Star, gibt fast keiner der so echt rüber kommt. Stimme und seine Art einfach der hammer.

[@vxy357]

I like how he gets the crowd to sing the chorus "DON'T DO IT!". Saves money on back-up singers, sounds a lot better, and encourages audience participation.

[@valrobas7025]

68 years old... so for those who critiquise him..... just... nothing to say !!! BRAVO Chris !!!

[@Kwales66]

Hei s 68 ??

[@monstermash1961666]

Criticize?

[@Rainer_ow]

Kwales66 yes sir

[@yeahright302]

nobody is say anything bad!!

[@fluffstuffpootiebean1688]

I would never critiquise anyone EVER. I dunno what it is, but it sounds horrible

[@stevenmoore6426]

Wow! I listened this so many times through my high school years. I still love it!

[@kj8645]

9 years ago and the man can still deliver this classic in a manner that is true to the original...the same emotion and intensity even after all the years...brilliant...(the tone and timbre of his voice still bring chills up the spine...) ✨🤙🏼✨🔥✨

[@Pazhuzhu]

This song was referenced to me twice in two unrelated events today so I decided to look it up and I'm glad I did.

[@jeremykipling4208]

[@geraldmarshall4408]

The best group I have had the pleasure of watching perform live.

[@bdeithrick]

[@radiobroog8091]

One of the few songs out of the 80s that I loved! (And I love this live version because it doesn't have the 80s production style.)

THE LEGEND FOR EVER

[@user-wb6ye1xi2u]

“To believe in God is to know that all the rules will be fair, and that there will be wonderful surprises.” - Ugo Betti

[@Genjo_N_Mojave]

It was late at night on the open road Speeding like a man on the run A lifetime spent preparing for the journey He is closer now and the search is on Reading from a map in the mind Yes there's the ragged hill And there's the boat on the river And when the rain came down He heard a wild dog howl There were voices in the night, ("Don't do it") Voices out of sight, ("Don't do it") Too many men have failed before "Whatever you do Don't pay the ferryman Don't even fix a price Don't pay the ferryman Until he gets you to the other side" In the rolling mist then he gets on board Now there'll be no turning back Beware that hooded old man at the rudder And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared And people calling out his name And dancing bones that jabbered and a-moaned On the water And then the ferryman said "There is trouble ahead So you must pay me now, " ("Don't do it") "You must pay me now, " ("Don't do it") And still that voice came from beyond "Whatever you do Don't pay the ferryman Don't even fix a price Don't pay the ferryman Until he gets you to the other side" Yeah! Don't pay the ferryman Don't even fix a price Don't pay the ferryman Until he gets you to the other side Don't pay the ferryman Don't even fix a price Don't pay the ferryman Until he gets you to the other side Don't pay the ferryman Don't even fix a price Don't pay the ferryman Until he gets you to the other side Don't pay the ferryman

[@duffystev]

Still the best. I have all his music.

[@patriciayoung268]

Wow! Chris still has an Absolutely fabulous voice and I still love this song. Brings back happy memories. He is looking great too. Xx 😊❤️

[@flybynight1603]

Oh HELL YES

[@ehsantaherani3264]

his my legend i grow up with his songs.love uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[@thedoctor2247]

I have been a CDB admirer and been to a lot of his concerts. His voice so unique and that alas I fear now is a problem.......age sometimes can be cruel I listened to this and then the original, he can no longer hit those very high notes that made this song exciting. Still a great sound just a little more mellow I guess.

[@mossion]

I actually love this version. subtle and cool

[@anetka-ue3xe]

Nič v zlom je to vás názor ale kritizovať Chrisa že nespieva tak ako kedysi je trochu zvláštne jeho hlas je stále krásny a pesničky nadčasové klobúk dole že vôbec takto spieva

[@Jeff034]

Bloody awesome!

[@larabiggar4135]

i wish i was old enough to have heard him play live my favourite singer im only 17

[@FedericoLucchi]

You are AMAZING live!!!!!! :D

[@user-je2sx3jh3b]

Когда мне плохо всегда слушаю. Криса,особенно: леди те ред, но ведь столько прекрасний музика

[@tttcorrigan]

SO GOOD. THANKS.

[@rainerow2852]

A true hero tbh

[@cengland209]

If your ever in Sunnyvale if you stop by the mall late at night they say you can still hear Gary the head mall cop whining about being in the foyer during the encore of "don't pay the ferryman" because he was on the phone about missing carts.

[@justindb18]

Should have turned his cell phone off

[@ralphhintzen968]

Respect

[@zumerths3453]

2024 still here !

[@arthurwoodhouse2620]

Great song. This live version sounds more like a dance song where the original is more of a spooky ballad.

[@comfortable.and.furious]

this was the encore, and I missed it because I was on the phone in the foyer, talking about stolen shopping carts

[@dqzeropb]

Still better than modern day music

[@kimbrennan3252]

Fantastic. Performance

[@simongrolski7259]

× Don't Pay the Ferryman Chris de Burgh Don't Pay The Ferryman It was late at night on the open road, Speeding like a man on the run, A lifetime spent preparing for the journey; He is closer now and the search is on, Reading from a map in the mind, Yes there's the ragged hill, And there's the boat on the river. And when the rain came down, He heard a wild dog howl, There were voices in the night, "Don't do it!" Voices out of sight, "Don't do it! Too many men have failed before, Whatever you do, Don't pay the ferryman, Don't even fix a price, Don't pay the ferryman, Until he gets you to the other side" In the rolling mist, then he gets on board, Now there'll be no turning back, Beware that hooded old man at the rudder, And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared, And people calling out his name, And dancing bones that jabbered and a-moaned On the water. And then the ferryman said, "There is trouble ahead, So you must pay me now, " "Don't do it!" "You must pay me now, " "Don't do it!" And still that voice came from beyond, "Whatever you do, Don't pay the ferryman, Don't even fix a price, Don't pay the ferryman, Until he gets you to the other side; Don't pay - the ferryman!"

[@SobelPromotions]

2023 and I am searching out this song.
