[@clungeharvest4203]

They’re big in Croatia?

[@tedmcgrath4689]

RIP Johnny Fean, a pure legend.

THE UNDISPUTED best version of King of the fairies for me .... brings back memories

[@seantherevelator4896]

Only other best in my opinion, is alan stivell's live version vid of "suite irelandaise" here on youtube. And im only saying that cuz The openning fiddle part was better. This version has so much more to give than most others attempts at the tune

[@rockman102938]

Saw them in the US at Niagara University.

[@Erykrockmusic]

I only found them now and I live here for 13 years but yet I feel nostalgia listening to this

[@michaelfloyd7788]

Out of tune

[@mhagain]

I just saw New Model Army do it as the intro to Vagabonds - that was pretty sweet.

[@katiekat909]

Before their time. Unappreciated ❤❤❤

[@techfm4386]

I saw them several times back in the 70’s. The Tain was one of my favorite albums and I still listen to Drive the Cold Winter away every Christmas.

[@ronanmccarthy3098]

Talented musicians and pioneers at the time to bring some rock to trad Irish music

[@ziffer56]

Memories of Horslips in the National Stadium, great gigs and a great time to be young.

[@Shitsthebed]

The mighty Horslips❤🍀💚

[@delby66]

What a brilliant band Horslips were. One of the most underrated bands during this era of music. I was lucky enough to see them live.

[@gavinmagowen5582]

This is a very old Irish tune, rocked up by the brilliant Horslips.

[@DarkWolff.]

A dear friend of mine of Irish desent who passed away on the 8th of March a guitarist in an old very well known thrash band turned me onto Horse lips a few years ago . He knew I was a very big Jethro tull fan and over the course of our 25 year friend ship he never made mention of them and I'm shocked I had not found out about them early either...

[@brendanwalsh4040]

They make my heart sing!

[@Dremeli]

That's some unique bass Devlin is playing.

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

Looks like a John Birch custom.

[@gerardmccavana4905]

Yeah....some guy custom built it for him

[@laradresden5914]

you mean unique looking as opposed to... playing ;-)

[@oliveroneill1388]

John birch , bass if I can recall

[@harryfeldman5926]

Sweet nectar for my soul.

[@mikjanbubble]

That bass is just so completely 1970s

[@brianduncan2793]

What a great band very underrated

[@gerardmccavana4905]

'Happy St. Patrick's Day!' to one and all

[@didfffreedomfighter-sm5nw]

Rest in peace, Johnny Fean.

Of all of them, Charles looks like he could have time travelled back There from 2022.

[@kieranhiggins7031]

Wow. Funny to see all the old landmarks...Charles O'Connor, Jim Lockhart, Barry Devlin (?) and oh yeah, the gasometer

[@raymurf7953]

[@nbenefiel]

They were so 70’s Dublin.

[@markajonestify]

The Horslips Like The Beatles playing on Top of A Roof Great view of Dublin in The 1970s A lot of Old Dublin is Gone Just a Mass off Office Blocks.

Except that is the southside......no real Dublin there.....

Look like it was filmed on top of the old ESB offices on Fitzwilliam St.?

[@deluxedjsireland224]

that's what it looks like to me too. I got sent here by a bloke who said the video was filmed on the Bank Of Ireland HQ, but it looks far more like the ESB building

Concertina? "Happy to Meet, Sorry to Part" WHen the Rolling Stones had the design for Sticky FIngers, they pointed at that Horslips album as an example of what you could do with an album cover when the record label had refused to include the zipper!
