As an Irishman, the Irish American culture fascinates me. Unlike so many of my ignorant countrymen, I'm very proud that people from this little rock did their bit to create such a great country. Those who trot out the plastic paddy BS should consider this; whilst Irish culture was suppressed in Ireland, it thrived in America - so one could argue that our post nationalist Irish culture is actually younger than the Irish-American tradition. Irish-American was a proud identity half a century before an independent Irish state even existed. America gave the Irish the right to an identity that a British controlled Ireland denied them. Who's the 'plastic Paddy' now?
Irish culture is also Irish emigrant culture. Without the back and forth between all the countries the Irish went to and Ireland itself the music, the dance and the literature would not have developed into the world class things they are today. St Patricks Day parades started in America. Irish music in pubs started in London. Irish traditional music perfected and sped up by influences in America like ragtime jazz. Irish punk by London Irish band the Pogues. The Irish freedom movement was sustained, perfected and made possible outside Ireland.
The best feeling is when you are at a red socks, bruins, Celtics, or Patriots game and this song comes on and everyone is shouting at the top of their lungs, you see the red faces from yelling on the jumbotron and the music stops and the roar of the crowd still singing is defining
@@MrWarzone16 Football is for pansies. Passing a ball at the center for 90 minutes and rolling on the ground the moment anyone comes even close to you isn't at all an adrenaline rush.
@@ozzy0333 Well that is even worse! At least in football the game is on all the time but the people playing safety rugby have to pause the game all the time!
I love watching these guys play; as a musician you can tell when people truly enjoy performing and when they are just trying to make money, and these guys are always having a blast when they play.
We'd love to have you. What are you German? Doesn't matter. We're all descended from immigrants. Well, not the Indians. Hopefully one day you'll be able to come over here.
@@DemonDesign2k21 You are hundred percent right.I know from experience. I was in Boston I was wearing a Tampa Bay Ray's shirt. I had 7 or 8 dudes talk shit to me on the street.
I'm Portuguese and grew up in western Massachusetts but I gotta say that I'm a bit Irish especially on St. Patrick' s Day ... May the luck of the Irish be with ya'!
The drums in the beginning 🤙🏽🇺🇸🤙🏽🇺🇸. Fenway. If this isn't the most Boston thing ever. All that's missing is Dunkin coffee. Much love from hot as hell Arizona
This song really touches my heart. I was a Filipino high school student when I first got in love with hockey, and in my college days, this song got me the chills and excitement whenever a New England team plays, especially the Big Bad Bruins. I was a Caps fan at first, but as time goes by, leading into the 2010s, I've become a converted, solid, Bruins fan. Dropkick Murphys made me a true B's fan, and it will always be like that until I die. BRUINS FOR LIFE!
i was in Boston for xmas 2009 and it was -20 in the wind chill . never been so cold in my life. i was there September 2001 before and after 9/11 as well. i was in New York that day heading for the WTC, as i had been in it 2 years earlier. Boston is a beautiful city to visit. i met friends of Bill Wilson there. Ray
im german and wish to live in boston ( i used to do so for 1 year...) i miss boston!!!!!!! and after that year i moved to philadelphia for a year and then back to germany, but i want to go back to boston!!!!
Bobby Orr. Wow. I was so blessed to see him many times at the Boston Garden. The greatest I ever saw on the ice. That whole team, the Big Bad Bruins. So much fun! We knew they were so special. The unity. Turk was my favorite. Terry O'Reilly told me he liked my jacket at one time I went to get his autograph. I got beet red. I almost fainted. I was a teenager at that time. LOL
I want this video on ITunes so bad, they do have this song video, but I want THIS version in particular. LOVE IT, LOVE THE NHL, and LOVE Dropkick Murphy! They should totally have this on iTunes!😩😩😩
I can't imagine how much it would suck to play somewhere as cold as this haha, being in a band that preforms live weekly, holy shit, no wonder they're famous. *Also you can't blame them for slowing the song down during the banjo riff since it's so god damn cold*
THE DRUM BEAT LURED ME TO THIS SONG!!! Im part: French, Dutch, German, Ukrain, Polish, and Irish....so yeah im french but I love this song!! They should have played this song on St. Patties Day at my school!!!
Wish it included the entire intro. I was one of the lucky participants playing my heart out in front ot the Green Monster. This is very cool...thanks...
i love the dropcick murphys - totally great band, and i love this song. by the way, i'm form glasgow, and i'm a big rangers fan.. but football has nothing to do with music or religion........ i love rangers, i love the dropkick murphys, i think ireland is a cool country, and i love scotland!!!!
Glasgow Celtic are coming to Fenway park this summer to play Glasgow Rangers,hope i can get over there for that,A few pints of Guiness beat the rangers and then of to see Dropkick Murphys, sounds like heaven to me
This video is the very definition of Boston
I didn't see the love in the crowd. But I only go to Fenway and other Boston venues to see concerts - like them. :)
It is....I lived just blocks from Fenway Park for many years. Love that city...
Pale faces and ginger hair just missing Bill Burr 🤙
lol bruins red sox and shipping up to boston
Needs more Sam Adams and chowder
Dropkick Murphys at Fenway in the snow. Doesn't get more Boston than this.
Only way to make it more Boston is to throw in Bobby Orr...
Irish americans are awesome, Love from Ireland
What county? I can trace our family back to county Clare.
@@BlueDebut damn all i know is im callahan
@@BlueDebut Clare is a great county. Home of the Concertina.

The ones who have a problem with Irish Americans, their ancestors were traitors to the British probably. Im an Irishman and i agree.
Yes Ireland has contributed much to the United Kingdom
From a Catholic Scot with Northern Irish roots living in NYC... Great point!
Oh and F the Bruins!
You'd never think that a band with an accordion, cello, and banjo could pump you up so much but they sure as hell do!
I fail to see how a cello could ever NOT pump people up!
You ever seen the Boston pops play 1812 with howitzers?
"Ladies and Gentlemen please rise for The Boston National Anthem"
😊
i'm confused, they played Shippin' Up To Boston, not a cover of Roadrunner by the Modern Lovers.
Dropkick Murphys and Bobby Orr in the same video? It's like I've died and gone to heaven.
David Albizo I agree he's my hero! I have been following since a kid! I finally got his autograph! yeah!
The bath time house still alive different names after me and her do chello player divorced in 2007
250,000 me from her dad bobby orr

Hockey and dropkick. Can't think of a better combination of adrenaline and violence!
and football to my friend
Chi TowN Nah, hockeys more violent

In Boston everyone is a bit irish
Zack Boone except for the gays and the Italians
Jamie Crawley haha i get the refrence
True
That's an insult in Scotland 😂 if someone says something stupid we say "that's a bit Irish" lol
The timing of the buzzer is perfect. I listen to this video weekly and it always gets me revved up.
I'm proud to be from Boston 😊 this is our song 💚 ☘️
This and Dirty Water!😊
That's fine.. as long as you don't claim to be Irish.
@@azynkronAre you Irish?
the fact that this is 10 years old, holy...
And it's still as good as it is today.
I love watching these guys play; as a musician you can tell when people truly enjoy performing and when they are just trying to make money, and these guys are always having a blast when they play.
I know this is an old comment, but when you truly enjoy the music you make, it’s turns out to be beautiful.
I love it! This is the most Boston thing ever!
Love to my exiled Irish American brother and sisters, from Ireland. Love ye. Thanks for doing Ireland proud.
I got goosebumps as they introduced Bobby Orr. Without hyperbole, greatest player in league history.
im algerian and i've been to Boston twice, you gotta love this city!! miss you boston!!!
As a ND fan, there are few things better than a home game kickoff to this. I love it.
In this time and age, Dropkick Murphys makes me wanna emigrate to the US
hahaha me too!
Deveroth To listen to a catchy tune, popularized by an amazing movie
We'd love to have you. What are you German? Doesn't matter. We're all descended from immigrants. Well, not the Indians. Hopefully one day you'll be able to come over here.
+Deveroth We're not all white.
lol no that's just you, surrounded by a sea of pale faces. whatever makes you comfortable, though.
Boston, you guys have the best band.
I might be a Canuckle head but listening to this gets me pumpe to watch a bruins game.
I love the fact that hockey fans cheer the legends no matter what team they were on. 💯🙌
Dang, Boston really knows how to have a good time.
Most passionate sports city, a little too passionate sometimes, but it’s still amazing here
@@DemonDesign2k21 You are hundred percent right.I know from experience. I was in Boston I was wearing a Tampa Bay Ray's shirt. I had 7 or 8 dudes talk shit to me on the street.

@@JakePridgeon from what I've heard from Bostonians, them talking shit is them being friendly. 😂😂
0:13 guy on the left fails.
Lol I laughed so hard that you caught that
the only band to rock out with a banjo and succeed
