[@markofsaltburn]

For all of its mistakes, this still manages to be one of the most exciting live tv performances I’ve ever seen.

🙏🏾❤ Brilliant piece of beautiful music ♥️🌈🔥

[@jimcunningham5092]

Brings me back to the first time in saw them in the Hangar in Salthill in 1973. Still the best gig I was ever at.

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

The 5 disciples of the most stunningly brilliant and beautiful real Irish music and haunting stories Christy Moore, Andy Irvine, Dónal Lunny, Liam O'Flynn and Paul Brady. Though there are very hundreds thousands of excellent musicians In Ireland those 5 men are the extra special ones

[@Wotsitorlabart]

This is an English folk song.

[@-jz5mm]

Yeah it is, but played d arranged by the best

[@ClannCholmain]

Poor Dónal Lunny on the left had a 17 year old son, Shane, with Sinéad O'Connor, Shane died four weeks ago.

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

Sweet Lord have mercy on the soul of this young man Shane and God grant his father Donal and mother Sinead, all their families, and friends also all other people who suffer great loss and sadness in their lives

[@colinlarson9656]

My Grandfather was a blacksmith.

[@TomTasker]

[@TheHarryAdam]

Which one is Christie ffs

[@k-pax532]

@@TheHarryAdam the fella playin the drum at the end, far right.

[@rudigerschmitz1997]

This Drum sounds so good

[@mcstabba]

Christy with a mullet sure is a strange thing to behold... like a Lovecraftian horror or something.

[@rudigerschmitz1997]

Also an very interesting Version, beneath those of steeleye span. The fast strings and the Slow Voice is comlex to bring together, I Think.

[@samaelcoral7297]

Very good version,different fron Steeleye's but always likeable

[@colmwiggle]

Amazing stuff

[@derekk2708]

[@liamporter6243]

Best version.

[@seanquinlan6887]

I don't think I've seen Christie on organ before?

[@jmagowan12]

Maith Sibh! Mise An Ghabhann!

[@michaelfinn1317]

What’s he doing at that keyboard thing 😳😳😳

[@greenghost3797]

Making noise and trying to draw attention.

[@ClannCholmain]

Well I love it, it works well.

[@Mostrichkugel]

And you said you'd marry me, and would not deny me. If I saíd I 'd marry you, it was only for to try you, so bring your witness, love, and I'll not deny you. These are the verses that Andy had forgotten.

[@chwastozercyancientslowfoo205]

Nice, but the best interpretation ever for us is that of Eva Lady Moon: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6nYfaCnrMqDd6csi=D1rV-0CiSuJAsY00 (also recommending all her performances)

Nice 👍☦️❤️ I certainly fear staring into the face of Christ's power when he works within ones self. It's a story of Sampson thing. For me.
