Heard this on radio today in September 2020. Its been almost 40 years since I last heard this song. My god but it flooded back memories of me playing Chris de burgh albums when I had my first cassette player in the early 1980s. Still brilliant all these years later.
Chris' music is fantastic, have loved him for years. A fabulous composer and singer. Every song seems to be written from the heart. We have seen you many times in concert and can't get enough of your music. Keep touring Chris, you are the best!
You can always rely on the Irish to take over a gig! We really get stuck in 😂 love this song ❤️ for the benefit of the young people watching - there lighters in the air not phones!
I have tickets to see him in Halifax, Nova Scotia on May 11, 2012 and I absolutely cannot wait! This will be my third time seeing him live...he's incredible...always has been! I've been a huge fan for almost 30 years now.
I know this version since 1990. It was released on the "Don't Pay The Ferryman (live)" CDM as a bonus track and on the "High On Emotion"-VHS. Very fine singing of the audience also!
Only recently been listening to Chris via Spotify. I am in the States and expanding my liked musical genres. It's a beautiful song and I love the audience's participation
La mejor y mas emotiva interpretación de esta hermosa canción... no me cansé nunca de escucharla ni de cantarla como si fuera uno mas de los asistentes al concierto... recuerdo escucharla de un casette que se oía cada día peor, la emoción al conseguir en mi ciudad el CD del recital en vivo y la decepción al ver que no estaba esta canción... Me alegra haber encontrado este video al que solo le falta para ser perfecto el comienzo fallido de la canción donde el público canta tan bien y afinado la canción que Chris se calla y se queda escuchándolos y por eso al recomenzar la canción dice "tienen una buena voz esta noche!!!" Supremo...
And my love, she too has gone, she had to fly, Take care, it's such a lonely sky, They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight, They'll build a cage and steal your only sky, Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high, I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky...
In West Covina CA I'm about to put on my white coat and strut my stuff show them what me and my boy can do under God's hands cause he has been waiting in ready
@N3TTY40 in less than 3 weeks Chris is in Dublin again - perhaps you get another ticket for the concert? There will be great moments again with songs from his actual Moonfleet album and many, many old songs.
I look for one song but I do not find it.. In one line is : where dreams come true.. the melody is falling down after each verse.. please if someone knows wich song.. please tell me
Thanks Dad I'm ready to go let my company I know thanks I'm going to spend the night preparing and crying but nothing but cut business I need my car I got a job interview next week
This is such a poignant song and it's completely ruined by the audience. Sometimes you just need to know when to shut the f up, and enjoy something for what it is.
Are you stupid? He literally joined in with the crowd with this song and alot more too in the same night such as borderline, because that's what the whole experience is about. If you are going to cry about hearing the crowd sing along with him when there are literally thousands upon thousands of people there then you are just pathetic mate. Stop crying here and go listen to the studio recording from the album and not a recording from a pact concert dumbass🤦♂️

Chris de Burgh is a legend

Excellent version. And in concert. Chris de Burgh. Respect.
Took me years to appreciate this song, but now its my favourite one by him.

It's already one of my favorite songs by him, but this live is phenomenal.
Saddest song ever
My favorite and most meaningful song by Chris De Burgh.

Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky...
I love him

@breiries He is simply the best!! I've never seen him live but I live in hope that he will come to Australia one day.

@Vladnoff thanks for the comment - the crowd is amazing and cdeb is wonderful, as always!!

Apparently, he has an invisible friend in the sky and can telepathically communicate with it. Scary stuff for sure.
But his music is nice.
2018?
2020 plena oitentarena kkkkk
powerful as fuck
Это жесть)))
@N3TTY40 you lucky, lucky bugger!!
Can someone tell me where & when this concert was please?
I look for one song but I do not find it.. In one line is : where dreams come true..
the melody is falling down after each verse.. please if someone knows wich song.. please tell me
I think it’s called “already there”
Thanks Dad I'm ready to go let my company I know thanks I'm going to spend the night preparing and crying but nothing but cut business I need my car I got a job interview next week
Blue Bayou? Not a Chris De Burgh song but he's covered it before.
Dark magic ?
F FRUMOS...
She is gone now Dad her depth died with her man's law and God's law
