Max Boyce - Live at Treorchy Again 2011

[@terryelks-op3jk]

I am an English man who has always loved Max and I wish we were as proud of our country as he and the Welsh people are of theirs.❤

[@waynethomas4728]

Un o Treorci ydw i - I'm from Treorchy, born in Dumfries Street, in my Mamgu's back bedroom. Met Max back in the 80's. He did the voice over/narration on Gerald Of Wales (Gerald Cambrensis). This was an animated cartoon I worked on. What a wonderful concert this is. At home we played the original Live At Treorchy LP until the grooves wore out. I used to meet my brother Martyn at the Rugby Club and knock back a few pints. Good old Max - yma o hyd. Ar Hyd Y Nos - OK, Now I'm crying.

[@dagored4077]

As a 70 year old Welshman I'm watching this in 2022 with tears in my eyes. Tears of happiness, tears of joy and tears of pure nostalgia. Diolch yn fawr Max.

[@DaiElsan]

The pit head baths in Llanhilleth is still derelict now. No Supermarket. Just forgotten. Just like most of South Wales 😢😢😢😢😢

[@mosellethomas40]

I am from Pontypridd,now living in Canada,love Max Boyce, I always miss Wales,thank goodness for KZbin.

[@DaiElsan]

Living in Germany now. Reduced to tears with nostalgia.

[@stevev238]

Not been so entertained in a long time. Truly the last variety performer.

[@chrisbach3366]

I can't believe I first heard Max Boyce back in the early seventies....and he's still the best

[@andrewgudgeonobe2721]

I first heard Max Boyce at my uncle Elwyn’s house. We had all piled in to watch England v Wales in 1974. We lost 16 - 12 but the party went on, with Uncle Elwyn putting on Live at Treorchy. We laughed all the way through. That was also the first time I ever had Chinese take-out - a huge treat.

[@stugill4513]

the real prince of wales sir max boyce

[@martinchambers8090]

Sometimes I wish I had been born Welsh and could have a national anthem to be proud of like "Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau"

[@sunnyinsanya2]

Welshman, born & brought up in Cardiff in the 70s & 80s, living in Hong Kong almost 20y. Watching this and remembering my old mum from Porth, laughing to her Max Boyce albums, yes, even before VHS! Now Im teaching the kids about Wales....tear in my eye.

[@1sameus]

He IS still going. If I could hear it better. He hasn't lost any of it. Still brilliant. And I am a Paddy, when I want to be. There is nothing nasty about any of it, unlike some other places. Long may he reign. Wish I could hear him more often. He's an example to us all.

[@ruggernutter03]

I am German and most probably my country's biggest rugby fan and one of Max's biggest fans out here!! Cymru Am Byth!!

Well Max I haven't heard you for many years but you were a favourite in my household in the 70's and 80's, well done you still have it, enjoyed this show very much

[@caryltaucher8631]

I first saw Max Boyce in New Zealand around 40 years ago. I love him. Because of our shared love of the game of rugby I love listening to him and with one Welsh grandparent I can identify with his passion for Wales.

[@richardjeffreys2437]

He is a Bard.. He makes Me Smile, Cry and shake My Head.. I adore him from My childhood..... He is ALWAYS MY MAX !! xx

[@catherinethegreat3912]

As a SA fan, I was delighted that we won the semi-final of the RWC 2019 and I am looking forward to the final against England! BUT my heart absolutely broke to see the disappointment on the faces of the Welsh players after the game.............. I love the passion that the Welsh people have for the game, love their singing... wow!!! I really hope that their dream of winning a world cup will happen in the near future. Much respect (and love) from South Africa!!!🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@RRTNZ]

The Boks are such a great team. While I was gutted that they got past us, they deserved to beat England in the final, and walk away world champions ! Watch out for us in 2023.

[@taffeapache2402]

There is no nation in the world who can sing like the Welsh ! end of

[@lewysnicholas3063]

Taffe Apache so true I ❤️ love wales

[@tomdunne255]

Taffe Apache being Irish I think all Gaelic countries sing as well as each other (Ireland,Scotland,Wales )

[@Patiste96]

One of the reason's I came to live in Wales was the humour of Max Boyce. I haven't received my Welsh passport yet , Thus I still remain an English immigrant.

[@rarehiddengems]

Max Boyce, was a Clean Welsh, " Billy Connolly!" He was as talented and I loved him, just as much being a Jock! Now as a Scottish/Canadian of 25 yrs. happy to expose him to the World, as a "Rare Hidden Gem!"

[@gwynjervis2893]

Was? Was, is how you describe someone who has died. Max is still very much alive :)

[@MOGGS1942]

No malice in our beloved Max,even when taking the rise out of our much loved neighbours,the English. He has no equal anywhere.

[@DaiElsan]

The only one hiccup with Max was his Royal Variety Performance. Wales was suffering but this was not the time or place. But I forgive him. He said what we all felt.l at the time.

[@mlloyd3174]

brings tears to my eyes every time I hear Max, national treasure!

[@lewysnicholas3063]

Mark Lloyd yep so true

[@gwynlewis4867]

Mark Lloyd staying in Swansea where is the most of cheapest travel lodge please y

[@griffcats]

A great talent. Cant believe that if it werent for you tube I may never have found him. Sincere, fun, clean, and a sense of belonging to a home his audience shares, its like a concert in your home with all your best friends. They dont play it that way in theUSA, sad to say, and they dont seem to have a common culture at all anymore.

[@johnprice7303]

What a superb entertainer! My late (Irish) Father loved Max Boyce...and I can now understand why. "The pithead bath is a supermarket now" was his favourite. Wonderful stuff!

[@johncrump3362]

An old army mate got me into Max Boyce many years ago and I am English.. He is brilliant

[@MOGGS1942]

The truly wonderful Max Boyce. The more I view this video, the more I laugh. Thank goodness he's Welsh. There'll never be another like him. We love you Max, bach.

[@redhotror]

never stop loving MAX BOYCE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@debbie1879]

I am sorry there are so many trolls on this page who have dirty minds. I enjoy listening to Max Boyce has my late husband was welsh and it makes him seem nearer to me.and for those dirty mouthed trolls Max was a married man

[@maryfroggatt9913]

[@MrRayjay72]

here is a welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 school boy, tru story MAX I used to listen to Dick Barton special Agent, on the radio 5 days a week and special catch up on Saturday. living in Port Talbot and my grandparents living in Comavon they all spoke welsh. On Saturday morning, my mother said that we are going to Comavon for a visit, but I didn’t want to go. My mother said you’ve gotta go, but mam they all speak. Welsh and I won’t be able to listen to Dick Barton because it’ll be all in Welsh.😂

[@TheUnseenWorlds]

Reminds me of happier more honest times.........

[@childsdave]

An awesome show! listening from Australia after a great Welsh European passage........so proud to be Welsh

[@rhonddacymro]

Fantastic stuff from an old favourite that I had the good fortune to spend a couple of hours with over a couple of pints in Bahrain in the 80's, great to see he is still going strong. Da iawn Max

I first saw him live in Glynneath in 1975. Was very young then.

Why hasn't Max been knighted.? He has done so much for Wales, a Knighthood is long overdue. Arise, Sir Max.

[@Chassarmario]

Absolutely fantastic. I grew up listening to my Dad's old LP's of Max, one was the original 'Live from Treorchy'. What a wonderful trip down amnesia lane. Would love to know if anyone out there has a copy of 'There but for Johnny Walters' and/or 'One Night in Oldham'?

[@MOGGS1942]

If Max were English he would have been knighted many years ago, and even made into a Lord. 'Lord Boyce of Glynneath' has a certain ring to it.

[@lewysnicholas3063]

moggs if max Boyce was English wouldn't be half as funny as he is now and wouldn't be able to make songs about mining and wales

[@Fcutdlady]

Why I, an Irish woman, like Welsh rugby fans. 6 nations match in the early 2000s, Ireland played Wales In a match here in Dublin . My Dad and I ran a shop near Dublin city centre at the time. I asked Dad could I sneak to Grafton Street to get mom a Mother's Day present as mothering Sunday was the next day. I caught a bus from Ranelagh to Dawson Street, walked down one of the side streets to Grafton Street. My mother rang my mobile phone and was highly pissed off I wasn't with Dad in the shop. We had quite a row. (BTW normally sneaking into town was not something I did unless mom sent me herself.) I was leaning on a barrier the marked the outside area of a bar where a large group of Welsh fans were sitting as the row was taking place . Some of them heard my side of the exchange between me and my mother. I was upset after it so the Welsh fans called me over and offered me a drink. Thank you, qoute I, I'd love one. I asked for a pint of 7up free or diet 7up as it was then. They all said Oh no have a real drink but I explained I had to go back to work and drive 45 minutes to get home, plus I have no ability to hold alcohol, so the offer was most kind but I'll stick to the diet 7up. I got my pint of it and we had a plesant chat where they taught me a little bit about rugby. Half an hour later I had to go and get mom's present and get back to the shop. I thanked them most kindly bought the guy who bought me my drink a drink back. They were lovely guys.

[@murielbarker1667]

I love max Boyce why is not TV anymore? so called comedian's who are on TV should watch Max and find out why people roar with laughter and not them

[@stevepollard4783]

A rare breed a clean comedian.

[@sianpinnell2170]

Just heard on Q I with Sandi Toksvig, about two Welshman 8. Australia who drank two bottles of vodka and lost a day an£ a half, to discover they had broken into sea life and stolen a penguin, set off a fire extinguisher in the shark tank, and more, the best vacation you could never remember. Sounds worthy of at least an ode Max Boyce!

[@cmartin_ok]

He may have aged a bit but......... he's still amazing

[@avrilhogarth]

john mcnabb is wrong, Max Boyce is a showman and his audience love him, keep going Max, been listening to you since you started. I suspect john mcnabb is not a Welshman

Hi Becky. In KZbin, please search:- Sospan Fach Hanna Morgan : and listen carefully to the CORRECT local Llanelly words. A lovely rendition of this traditional, local, 'tinplate town' song which I first learnt for a concert in 1953. Using the word scrapo is meaningless. Thank you Hanna, lovely rendidtion.

We proud to sing Land of our Fathers in our own language, the Romans never got into our land and you may remember we won move VCs in one day then anyone else. Max`s has been around for many years and I hope he's around for many more.

[@snerper]

I just loved Wales, when I was a kid, I went to see Moby Dick at the local cinema forty seven times! I remember Captain Ahab harpooning Moby and as they rowed towards the Whale they could hear someone singing inside it's belly! Suddenly the jaws opened wide and out climbed Jonah, Captain Ahab said 'you were swallowed alive Jonah why the fuck were you singing '? and Jonah said ' Captain, everybody sings in Whales'! I told this joke once in a working man's club in Rhumney and the Taffia, which is the Welsh branch of the Mafia put a contract hit out on me! They sent out an assassin with a sawn off shotgun after me, luckily for me, he was from Porthcawl and he'd sawn the wrong end off the shotgun! I managed to steal a Welsh moped { a Rhondda 90 } from outside an Italian ice cream parlour / fish and chip shop and made my way back over the Severn bridge to Bristol. I've now changed my name, had plastic surgery, and constantly move around the Country, never living in any one place longer than a month or so at a time! If I so much as hear a Welsh accent these days, I race home, grab my emergency bug out bag and I'm off again as fast as my legs will carry me! My first mother in law was Welsh, through a friend of her father's, although, to be honest, her birth certificate says 'Father's Name = Some Soldiers'! she used to kick start Jumbo jets at Cardiff airport Monday to Friday, then did her weekend job as a bouncer at several Cardiff night clubs to earn her beer and chip money!

[@harvey54100]

+snerper Hey, you've got a problem!

[@snerper]

Yep, even with the plastic surgery, the hair transplant, the fake tan, the John Lennon sniper specs, the elevated shoes, the elocution lessons and the name change, I'm still wary of letting my guard down!

Wales is a secret, please leave them alone to be as they are and maybe one day soon they will produce great Union players as in days of old, there is one Welsh players name in particular that I am struggling in my Aussie immigrant brain that I am striving to remember.
