Chris de Burgh - Don't Pay The Ferryman (Live Official)

[@AnthonyP73]

Saves the full voice right til the end!

[@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.

[@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...) ✨🤙🏼✨🔥✨

[@reubination]

What a killer song! The man can deliver a tune.

[@JustinCredible61-g8n]

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

[@stevenmoore6426]

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

Hello 🖐️

[@georgetedford9851]

Been hearing this song forever, it still rocks

[@rayrai7840]

One of the best singers ever. He has so many good songs.

[@mArt1And00m3r11339]

I could imagine seeing that at a concert. I like it.

[@BlackGeorgeDrives]

Just think Gary missed this because he was on the phone talking about bubbles stealing his shopping carts from the mall.

[@justindb18]

Those carts are public domain

[@drumsnbikes]

I can't listen to this song without thinking about that bit.

[@Sur-LeMann]

Don’t fuck with me bubbles 😂

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@NickCADA]

Why don’t you turn your phone off Gary.

[@justindb18]

Gary, there’s someone masturbating in the food court!

[@larabiggar4135]

[@howardtennenhouse7849]

I saw the Meat live twice. Once was in ‘93. What a year.McCartney,Jethro Tull.Yet watching and hearing him was so powerful,entertaining.Never forgot his music and performance

[@cagneystrilby]

Been with him since '75 but his voice has gone in the higher notes. The rest is still fantastic.

[@fluffstuffpootiebean1688]

Wow...what a performance. That’s not an easy song to make work live, and they nailed it.

[@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.

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

I wonder why he sang in such a high pitch when he can still belt out the song like always? Can anyone explain why he may have chosen to do this? I'm fully impressed by the strength of those high notes, don't get me wrong, it just seemed like a strange decision.

[@ccasey1904]

Wow, magnificent song. And he’s still got that great vocal range! Just smokin’ !

[@jeremykipling4208]

he nailed every note, he could have messed up a few it still would have been good.

[@jaybrown4526]

Wow!! He can still hit them high notes!! Awesome song from my youth!!

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
