As a youth, I bought this record in a shop in Germany because I liked the green picture. The only Irish stuff I knew until then was Dubliners. A few years later, I hitch hiked between Wexford and Galway, playing my guitar everywhere on the way. Met so many great people, what a mind-blowing experience! Now I live in Yorkshire, but I'm officially still a German 😄 Thanks for this upload, brings back happy memories! 😃

saw them several times at Schloßkeller, Darmstadt way back in the 70s! Those were the amazing folky days 🙂

Diese LP habe ich so lange gehört bis ich Verwarnungen meiner Mutter erhalten habe , haha . Live gesehen habe ich die Gruppe bei einem Irish Folk Festival - und dort auch die LP gekauft. Später bin ich für zwei Jahre in die USA gezogen. Bei der Rückkehr hatte ich die LP vergessen mit einzupacken. Heute wieder in youtube gefunden .... höre seit über 2 Stunden die songs ..
So viele Erinnerungen. Schade - nirgendwo eine CD zu kaufen !

[@lealustykova2412]

Wunderbare Erinnerungen an meine Jugendzeit und die Konzerte der Wild Geese in Frankfurt am Main tauchen wieder auf und insbesondere an Tony Small, meine erste Liebe.

[@Chrescht61]

I was in the 70ies in Luxembourg at the concert-thx so much to put it here-I had no money at the time to buy the record-)

[@danieloconnell9475]

Mood altering music . I don't think you'd get a similar recording now, with the same ambience.

Moin zusammen,
ich bin begeistert, dass ich diese Aufnahme gefunden habe.
Gibt es noch weitere Möglichkeiten, an andere Alben zu kommen.
Flight 2 war auch immer eines der viel gehörten Alben.
Danke nochmal für diese Erinnerung.

A million times thankyou Pere Grino. I've been searching for these albums for years but they're all out of production now. I spent many nights with the lads on Sherkin Island back in the day. I could never understand how they could still sing and play after a dozen pints of stout. Great band and great times.

[@alexcurtis3385]

Thanks so much for posting this!

[@walterbuscaglia1724]

Wow!🍻

[@horstmuller3790]

Thanks from my side as well. Great musicians, saw them back in the eighties when I was a little boy. Nice memories.

[@ciarancaughey1099]

Brilliant. Very surprised I had never heard of the group. Thank you!

[@claoftheninesausages]

Thank You so much Pere Grino for uploading these albums.

[@AluraHjaldisdottir]

Thanks for uploading! I have got the two other records but this one is really difficult to get. A friend of mine had it in the early eighties when I started listening to Irish folk but my tape got lost. Nice to hear it again.

[@kevinlinnane9637]

yes, so pleased to find this again after so many years. thankyou so much....

[@drpsjc]

wonderful! O_O

[@haraldcomo9119]

Habe diese Gruppen immer gerne gesehen und gehört, habe 1 oder 2 LP von ihr. Muss so Ende der 70er gewesen sein. Danke

[@BarryHawk]

This is quality stuff, tfp.

[@mikeMikeydowns]

Fantastic! Thank you much

[@ronniemillsap]

Sounds very talented!

Ich habe die Wild Geese in Bielefeld beim Leinewebermarkt in den 1970er Jahren gehört. Es war schreckliches Regenwetter. Die Wild Geese standen unter einem Dach, aber die Zuschauer wurden nass. Ich auch. Aber es war wunderbar. Mit jeden Song wurde die Band besser. Lag das am Bier, was in jeder Band-Pause angeliefert wurde? Egal. Sie waren großartig und haben mir die Welt der Irischen Volksmusik eröffnet. Ich habe die angebotene LP gekauft und bis zur Abnutzung gehört. Und jetzt auf ewig bei UA-cam. Danke, Wild Geese!
