9 years ago and the man can still deliver this classic in a manner that is true to the original...the same emotion and intensity even after all the years...brilliant...(the tone and timbre of his voice still bring chills up the spine...) ✨🤙🏼✨🔥✨
I like how he gets the crowd to sing the chorus "DON'T DO IT!". Saves money on back-up singers, sounds a lot better, and encourages audience participation.
Bullshit Ross. You can see he is straining to sing this at times, but manages it. Although not as powerful as he was 30 years ago, it's still bloody amazing!
I had this record as a teen,,, it was an awesome!!!! I love seeing how he still loves too perform it live!!! Its good to see him now enjoying the success!!! Keep rocking chris!!!!! We love you!!! Slc.,.

Hello mydear friend 🌹🌷💖nice to meet you I'm so happy very beautiful video wonderful sharing very cute and sweet voice⭐👈⭐⭐🐥 take care of your health God blessing have a happy time🙏🌷💖🛎👈
It was late at night on the open road Speeding like a man on the run A lifetime spent preparing for the journey He is closer now and the search is on Reading from a map in the mind Yes there's the ragged hill And there's the boat on the river And when the rain came down He heard a wild dog howl There were voices in the night, ("Don't do it") Voices out of sight, ("Don't do it") Too many men have failed before "Whatever you do Don't pay the ferryman Don't even fix a price Don't pay the ferryman Until he gets you to the other side" In the rolling mist then he gets on board Now there'll be no turning back Beware that hooded old man at the rudder And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared And people calling out his name And dancing bones that jabbered and a-moaned On the water And then the ferryman said "There is trouble ahead So you must pay me now, " ("Don't do it") "You must pay me now, " ("Don't do it") And still that voice came from beyond "Whatever you do Don't pay the ferryman Don't even fix a price Don't pay the ferryman Until he gets you to the other side" Yeah! Don't pay the ferryman Don't even fix a price Don't pay the ferryman Until he gets you to the other side Don't pay the ferryman Don't even fix a price Don't pay the ferryman Until he gets you to the other side Don't pay the ferryman Don't even fix a price Don't pay the ferryman Until he gets you to the other side Don't pay the ferryman
I have been a CDB admirer and been to a lot of his concerts. His voice so unique and that alas I fear now is a problem.......age sometimes can be cruel I listened to this and then the original, he can no longer hit those very high notes that made this song exciting. Still a great sound just a little more mellow I guess.
Nič v zlom je to vás názor ale kritizovať Chrisa že nespieva tak ako kedysi je trochu zvláštne jeho hlas je stále krásny a pesničky nadčasové klobúk dole že vôbec takto spieva

You are not the one who waits to go to a chris de burgh concert for 3 and a half years so I can go in and miss the encore “don’t pay the ferryman” because I’m on the phone in the foyer talking about stolen shopping carts
@@jicucuyyffifu you're a real big man picking on a guy like Bubbles, huh? How do you think he makes his living huh? How do you think he feeds his cats?!

Chris de burgh ist einer der normalsten Star, gibt fast keiner der so echt rüber kommt. Stimme und seine Art einfach der hammer.
Just heard of this guy right now this minute. THAT IS HOW ITS DONE.!!! WHAT A GREAT ARTIST!!!!
I like how he gets the crowd to sing the chorus "DON'T DO IT!". Saves money on back-up singers, sounds a lot better, and encourages audience participation.
Thanks for the last 40 years of incredible De Burgh music
Heard thos on the radio the other day for the first time.....fucking blew my mind. The song kicks so much ass!
Wow! I listened this so many times through my high school years. I still love it!
The lado her
The lado her
Chris will always have a "one of a kind" voice! He is awesome!
Hello 🥀
Timeless song. just an incredible song. Thank you Chris
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😊😅😅😅😅😅 3:56 😅
Magnificent. That voice has been so well preserved. An anthem for sure.
Love that man. For 30 years xxxxxx
There aren't many old rockers like Chris who sing their old songs in the original key. Well done, old boy!
Well... he does all the tough notes in falsetto :P
TheHalfBloodPrince I think you've got Melodyne (autotune) to thank for that. Can hear it all over it.
BS!
Bullshit Ross. You can see he is straining to sing this at times, but manages it. Although not as powerful as he was 30 years ago, it's still bloody amazing!
Sorry but there's defo pitch correction on his voice, sorry if you're too much of a fan boy to hear it haha
I'm now 21 andy mom is the one who's brought me up around this sort of music
one of those songs you can always remember and can still enjoy 40 years later,
Wow...what a performance. That’s not an easy song to make work live, and they nailed it.
I had this record as a teen,,, it was an awesome!!!! I love seeing how he still loves too perform it live!!! Its good to see him now enjoying the success!!! Keep rocking chris!!!!! We love you!!! Slc.,.
Hello Sharon it seems you do like Chris de burg a lot. He is such a great musician

68 years old... so for those who critiquise him..... just... nothing to say !!! BRAVO Chris !!!
Hei s 68 ??
Criticize?
Kwales66 yes sir
nobody is say anything bad!!
I would never critiquise anyone EVER. I dunno what it is, but it sounds horrible
The best group I have had the pleasure of watching perform live.
Wow, magnificent song. And he’s still got that great vocal range! Just smokin’ !
he nailed every note, he could have messed up a few it still would have been good.
What a killer song! The man can deliver a tune.
This song was referenced to me twice in two unrelated events today so I decided to look it up and I'm glad I did.
And Gary was in the foyer on the phone talking about stolen shopping carts.
Wow!! He can still hit them high notes!! Awesome song from my youth!!
Chris , you rock!
Hello 🖐️🥀
damn always luv this song,his voice is still great!!!
Nice to hear him live, instead of him miming like a 2021 live clip I just seen
Since so many years you are great .I enjoyed your concert. Keep on singing ❤Jutta
Still AWESOME even after all these years !! ❤
One of the best singers ever. He has so many good songs.
This is by the far the best version I have heard of this song, magical

You made me come alive again thank you
love this video on MTV in the 80s
The big howling dog gets me. There's only 1 dog down there!
Legend has it Gary still hasn’t seen the encore of Don’t Pay The Ferryman.
@@yeahright302 This is Gary: ua-cam.com/video/MUAN-s2ZVww/v-deo.html
And they say if you go to the mall late at night you can hear him still whining about carts from the foyer.
@@yeahright302the head mall cop of a Nova Scotia mall.
Still, so very very good. Well done video. Thx
Hello mydear friend 🌹🌷💖nice to meet you I'm so happy very beautiful video wonderful sharing very cute and sweet voice⭐👈⭐⭐🐥 take care of your health God blessing have a happy time🙏🌷💖🛎👈
SO GOOD. THANKS.
What a great musician and Story-Teller!
Love this xx
One of the few songs out of the 80s that I loved! (And I love this live version because it doesn't have the 80s production style.)
Hi Mr John Helliwell, it's been a long time... Glad to see you back on stage alongside Chris
I noticed him as well.
Show in Kaufleuten Zürich was amazing!
You can still belt them out ... Just Great !! :)

Bloody awesome!
He's really one of a kind
Best voice ever man Y r The best!!!
Still as good today as when I first heard it decades ago.
Quem está a ver em 2022 ? É só boa disposição é só ouvir está canção o nosso ASTRAL sobe e fica tudo numa "NICE"
Когда мне плохо всегда слушаю. Криса,особенно: леди те ред, но ведь столько прекрасний музика
fu##ing brilliant!
It was late at night on the open road
Speeding like a man on the run
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey
He is closer now and the search is on
Reading from a map in the mind
Yes there's the ragged hill
And there's the boat on the river
And when the rain came down
He heard a wild dog howl
There were voices in the night, ("Don't do it")
Voices out of sight, ("Don't do it")
Too many men have failed before
"Whatever you do
Don't pay the ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side"
In the rolling mist then he gets on board
Now there'll be no turning back
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder
And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared
And people calling out his name
And dancing bones that jabbered and a-moaned
On the water
And then the ferryman said
"There is trouble ahead
So you must pay me now, " ("Don't do it")
"You must pay me now, " ("Don't do it")
And still that voice came from beyond
"Whatever you do
Don't pay the ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side"
Yeah!
Don't pay the ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side
Don't pay the ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side
Don't pay the ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side
Don't pay the ferryman
Chris has a unique voice and is the best performer
J'adore se chanteur je l'écoute souvent et je m'en lasse vous
Very 80's! Love it!
um dos concertos fantástico e amável da minha vida.
THE LEGEND FOR EVER
Definitely agree with you x
fantastic
Still the best. I have all his music.
J'adore vos chansons top Mr chris ❤
Wow! Chris still has an Absolutely fabulous voice and I still love this song. Brings back happy memories. He is looking great too. Xx 😊❤️
Amazing
i wish i was old enough to have heard him play live my favourite singer im only 17
Great song. This live version sounds more like a dance song where the original is more of a spooky ballad.
Fantastic. Performance
You are AMAZING live!!!!!! :D
A true hero tbh

this was the encore, and I missed it because I was on the phone in the foyer, talking about stolen shopping carts
Jest moc!!
Great song !!!!!!

Beware that hooded old man at the rudder,
