The Waterboys performing Fishermans Blues at The Royal Albert Hall, London. Friday May 11th 2007

[@TheStephenlarose]

In Heaven, the Waterboys are the house band.

[@Clavigo]

Und ich dachte das war damals schon alles! Es gibt noch Wunder! Danke Gott!

[@conlaiarla]

Mike Scott and the guys had a great session with them in Hennigans Bar Sligo 1987 what a time... tempis fugit! Great memories .

[@truegangsteroflove]

I'm glad the band is still together. I hope they tour the "U.S." soon.

[@akroliko]

I am a huge music guy. I listen to everything that's not rap or hip hop. I listen to so much music and I can safely say that this is my FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME. WHOO HOO HOOOO

[@valverdista]

Great show this summer 2010 in Évora, on a hot mediterranean night, nothing like a freshness of a celtic song.

[@tomob10]

...i remember this song since I was a kid... this melody is heart breaking... violin is splitting my soul in two *6y9m12d*... sonja volim te zauvijek, nadam se da ovo neces vidjeti, aljo :(

[@kevj247]

[@ilTroubadori]

this band played me all round the continent many years ago..thanks..

[@marlym]

yea love the ending! mike and the boys what a party this looked.

[@gugle22]

What to say... Waterboys are BEYOND all ever existed. They are magic, they play magic, they are the best group ever. Magic, magic. Thank You, Waterboys, that you just are. You gave me magic.

[@datsyhoehoe]

I love every sound that comes out of Mike Scott's mouth! WooHoo!!!!

[@bertbretherton]

I must admit I'm biased - my dear old mum (RIP) was Irish - but there's something special about the Celts. They tend to put their hearts and souls into their music. Van, the Frames, Damien, and on and on. Thanks for posting this. Very enjoyable.

[@florencethebear]

love it love it love - post this all the time on facebook - one hell of a song :)

[@GuruSponge]

fiddle playing to die for; it brought a tear to my eye. joyous!

[@leegee63]

bloody gorgeous ... makes me want to frolic... a good old frolicing song !

[@GrigGrav]

Damn.. this got me dancing!

[@jstu15]

this just fills my heart with joy everytime i hear it!

[@jimarasssss]

This song is a realy mind therapy!! Just close your eyes and hear this ''out of our space'' song... Greetings from Greece

[@WallySauer]

Great job well done

[@yotube123454321]

this is just brilliant. I love how they bring the crowd together with the little twirls. They're just rocking it at 4:30

[@Shad0wplay]

OMG! I've heard this for years now, and still when seeing this brings tears to my eyes. Beautiful!

@60adl Big Country in Barrowland in 1993... one of the greatest live DVD's... Waterboys in Barrowland... holy mother of ...!!! I can't even imagine!!

[@scaleop4]

all i can say is epic...that's all just epic.

[@thewiz80]

This song is connected to my life... could easily be a theme for my way of living..

[@noraalferson]

Great folk song - I like it! :)

[@killiekentman]

brilliant thanks for posting

[@canuckowl]

A great melody can rock the world. I regret that I have never seen them live. What a thrill it must be.

[@fiddleinabox]

So was I! awesome! they´re still the best!

[@AlexanderMathews]

Look at that crowd control. These guys are amazing. They've got the entire crowd completely focused on them, and even on this small video screen you can just feel the energy they've got going in that room. The audience just starts clapping along with the beat around 4:30. They don't even prompt the crowd to do it. The people just clap along because they're having such a wonderful time. If you can get a crowd to clap, sing and dance along with you without even trying, you're a great performer.

[@Lossieloon306]

this would have to be the best video clip I have vere seen for a rock band, Steve and Mike, dancing on the stage, well done lads, good entertainment.

[@jdenitto1966]

this song makes me cry always ... but in a good way :-)

[@Anything4adollar]

love how the clapping keeps The Band in time...can't wait to see you guys Stateside here real soon...!

[@36ebrington]

passion .. power... The Big Music.... awesome.... if you havent seen them live check out the festivals.... awesome... Thankyou Mr Mike Scott & The Waterboys... in my heart forever... discover their music people... inspirational.. x

[@lonestar3]

I saw this tour when the "Fishermans Blues" album came out. Absolutely great show. Thanks for posting this.

[@elizabethjade100]

I fell in love with this song and the band when I saw the film waking ned, got the album just a couple of weeks ago and can't stop playing it it's just so good. Would love to see them live that would be so wonderful.

[@kevinn36]

fantastic performance.beautiful song.Mike Scott genius

[@pwilson962]

This video always makes me smile.

[@gypsyracco]

Unbelievably talented! Love em!

[@cruzmissil]

Excellent live performance,a great party song!

[@Virginia78704]

This is one of the best song's EVER! I whis they got more air play on the radio here in Austin.

[@beenseeingaghost]

To end the 'Irish'/'Scottish debate: yes, Mike is Scottish. From Wikipedia: "some cynics claim that Scotsman Mike Scott gave Irish music back to the Irish... his impact can't be underestimated", but Scott himself explains that it was the Irish tradition that influenced him; "I was in love with Ireland. Every day was a new adventure, it was mythical...

[@cestevaes]

Great performance!!!!! Love this song and this guys!!!!!!

[@stevehammond5962]

This is my favorite of the live versions of this song! Awesome energy and the video captures that well. I just love it!

[@svenmasta]

All my hairs stands up, smile all over my face! Yeah, i got the light in my head! :-D

[@rmgj]

@JackStraw65 Indeed, one of the sweetest tunes ever, so joyful so as to take me into a state of otherness, very very peculiar, I bought a record by them without really knowing their music, must have been my late sister from heaven leading me, fell into their beautiful spell at once and forever.

[@pwm02176]

Can't get much better than this !!

[@suziequzie26]

Love this song

[@FefiBurgos]

MY GOD. I love this song, Mike's voice, this dance, this twirl, this fiddle, this lyric. Every time I see it I feel that I was there... thank you for posting it. I work at Starbucks and this season they play everyday this song. Makes me jump and twirl every time... I love this band since "the whole of the moon"... I wish I could travel to Porto next month...

[@pryeto1]

I send a big hug from Ecuador

[@stargazer6753]

+The Scottish Cowboy, or is that the Irish Cowboy, the Gaelic Cowboy. Well, Mike is both an Irish rocker and a Scottish rocker if there ever was one. I wish I had discovered this band and this song before my half Irish husband died. I think he would have reveled in it, as any good Irishman would, even if sung by a Scots Man. Thank you for this music and performance.

[@bobsyrunkl]

nice to see they finally learned that one.

[@angellacanfora]

Such a moving performance! And to the champ who filmed this, thank you!

[@madalice1952]

03.08.2008: You in my arms!

[@estretiu]

No es lo que se oye, sino lo que no se oye , se transmite se siente, hay melodias que exceden el limite de lo comprensible y esta es una de ellas

[@banapaulo]

@Kinokiddo It was amazing, I have to say.

[@Kinokiddo]

And I missed Mikey's Barbican London Feb '11 concert, fchrissake. One review gave it 4/5. Eedjit me.

[@Belinotenace]

Bravissimi,scoperti per caso qualche anno fa.

[@mcwhiteface]

i play my drums to this stuff hole in the moon most under-rated song these folks kick it /b.gentile

[@stargazer6753]

+ Bruce . I don’t doubt you, but it is “The Whole of the Moon”. Maybe another shot of Scotch or Irish Whisky brought you here. Just kidding.You are right, “The Whole of the Moon” and many of Mike’s songs are underrated. And he is quite a performer for the audience, and seems to be emboldened by his audience participation with the “Whoo, whoo, whoo -- whoo.

[@SpammerOvTheGods]

ecstatic #@!

[@9200Fabregas]

Steves me violin teacher at the minute

[@3tangle3]

@Fahrvernuggen no such thing as uncool or cool........live your fucking life and enjoy....CELTIC PASSION!

[@keefyd5]

nice 1,bowsy1!

[@lonestar3]

@zoobremia Don't feel bad, they don't play "real" music on the radio in the states either (unless it is satellite). Check out the band Carbon Leaf, they are from Virginia and are a great live band.
