For me the best version of this extreme-hard-to-sing song. He is in timing (and in tune) all the time with the audience fast claping. Respect!
Absolutely the best version ever.....Will never be bettered...............
Fantastic! They can truly sing! It is not easy to sound so good without music!
That's my uncle! He's fantastic.
So. Freaking. Fantastic. I just wish it was in stereo.
love this song. great performance. thanks!
I am a "Calgarian in a Newfie hat" but music like this makes me homesick.
God how I love pub life!
OMG remindes me of my times spent in Newfoundland.... good times..... good times
awsome to find this here....)))) thanks i needed that !!!lol
Absolutely brilliant stuff altogether! Best version of the Rocky Road I've heard apart from Luke Kelly, this was amazing!
This is priceless.
THEY ARE simply GREAT.
Rest in peace Dermot, you look quite at home behind that bar :)
1:40 Now that's how you fucking clap.
Love this song!!!
Thankyou so much for posting this masterpiece....I just wish the volume was higher.
real music!
Love them, they sang happy birthday for my bro one time when they were just testing Atlantic Canada. Dermot was the cats ass, and Fergus (or Frogie as Dermot called him drunk) and Dennis those men could harmonize like you wouldn't believe
yes yes!! Good stuff.....i went 2 a yard sale this weekend and bought a bunch of recoards(An irish night at the black knight lounge)was one of them!
Bri gs back memories of good times.

I know Fergus O'Byrne, he's a very good friend of mine
Yeeeeeeeeeeooowwhhh!!
aye!
yes
The clapping was laboured,,,,,
@TheDonaldido Yes upload them!!
Was not the PE room, I asked my Dad, he was a reg, no it was not even the basement room. As the poster said he "thought" it was a PEI bar, but couldnt say for sure. What my dad siad for sure is it wasnt PE room although I know Ryans played there often
@FreshWaterOtters
See "What a Time!" CD, released this year, Brilliant 2 CD collection with something on fifty tracks.
Absolutely amazing, best version on the net. Damn hard song to learn but I'll keep trying. Saw a more recent video of this and Fergus hasn't lost a thing, way to go man. I hope to see them play someday.
yes you should!, is it too late?
Should I upload the same version but louder?

@FreshWaterOtters it's been done! "Ryan's Fancy: What a Time! A 40 Year Celebration" You can buy it as a double CD or as a digital download at singsonginc.ca
Luke kelly and the Dubliners version is just as good or even better...
No, certainly not, I already made one, but never uploaded it because, well, I'm a bit lazy. I'm uploading right now.
He says "the boys" because the verse starts with "the boy of Liverpool"
Why right channel only?
Awesome Version! But Fiddlers Green is better.
A lot of people have questioned where this was shot. It was shot at the "Brothers Two" pub in Summerside. Don Groom, owner at the time is in a number of shots. I produced and directed this item as part of the "Canadian Express" television series circa '78 - '79 Jack Kellum
Thanks John, sorry to assume every thing happened in Charlottetown with the guys. Glad you were able to scope the ole Brothers 2, before my bar time in that format tho...lol
