Johnny ❤

[@paidushko]

This is one of their best sets, taken from their best album - Selected jigs, reels & songs. Great music, played wonderfully.

[@ritamack5731]

Love it when Frankie blows in toward the endl

[@UISTMAN59]

This is correct The tunes are definitely Tom Billy's, Ryan's Jig, The Sandman Reel, The Clogher Reel (which is apparently another name for The Flowers Of Redhill) from "Selected Jigs, Reels & Songs"

[@deslm]

The best there was...and the best there ever will be! No other band comes close to DD!!!

[@ritamack5731]

So POWERFUL~

[@rorymclaughlin7382]

Mega musical memories

[@UISTMAN59]

[@HEADSUPBERKELEY]

[@twowhitecrows]

Aaaaahhhh....

@deslm I'm pretty sure it isn't a competition. Why are KZbin comments always a dick-measuring contest among people who aren't even a part of the bands they are measuring? I just don't get it. I love both De Dannan (both the old Frankie Gavin + Alec Finn band and the two new Frankie Gavin minus Alec Finn bands) and Planxty. Both did wonders for the music, as did Bothy, and they are all kick-ass setups.

[@paidushko]

The third tune is The Sandmount reel.

[@Kampfwageneer]

❤ty

[@UISTMAN59]

Going by the notes from outshore and paidushko , assuming they're both right, the tunes should be "Tom Billy's, Ryan's Jig, The Sandman Reel, The Clogher Reel (which is apparently another name for The Flowers Of Redhill)

[@Yinkgo]

@HEADSUPBERKELEY The tune is "Tom Bill's Jig"

[@UISTMAN59]

Aoologies, you are right. paidushko

[@deslm]

@Dayepepes LOL! That's true. I guess you could also say that DD's box playing was a bit better that Planxty's as well.

[@Dayepipes]

@deslm Planxty's piping was slightly stronger.

[@Kampfwageneer]

No pipes here

[@Onedayrodderswewill]

Does anyone know which track they recorded with phil lynott?.

[@Kampfwageneer]

Hell yeah

[@mcduh]

No other band.

[@HEADSUPBERKELEY]

TUNE IDENTIFICATION ANYONE?

[@rexmundi3108]

jesus

[@ojovsky]

does any one know the names of the tunes

[@Kampfwageneer]

Last one is called Flowers of Red Hill Scottish tune

[@burkardheike]

@deslm planxty!? : )

[@Yinkgo]

TOM BILLY'S JIG

[@1unvailableusername]

I think this music was made for stoners

[@Kampfwageneer]

Yes for any astral traveler

[@deslm]

@burkardheike Planxty couldn't touch DD on their worst day...except maybe when it comes to the songs. Instrumentally, I wouldn't mention them in the same breath. The Bothies would be a better comparison.

[@frankcarmack1442]

deslm One name; Bothy Band. BOOM. Just ribbin.'

[@Kampfwageneer]

Totally different bands stop being a hipster

[@deslm]

You’re responding to a comment of mine from 12 years ago - a bit late to the party, my friend. I also fail to see how the above has anything to do with “being a hipster.”
