I saw these folks live many years ago. They were unbelievable. I miss the old days of them, Planxty, Chieftains etc. I loved going into NYC with my parents for great concerts. The concert goers were all so appreciative of the musicians too. It was a great time to experience live Celtic music.
Now is also a great time for live Celtic music-- especially over in Ireland. The current young crop of traditional players is nothing short of incredible.
There's some great Irish and other Celtic music going on in Cornwall- also a Celtic nation- Krelys,who play high- octane Irish sets, especially reels,and Skillywidden, very skilled Cornish revival music and renowned for Nos Lowen trad dance evenings.
Altan, Danu, Solas, Dervish etc - none would exist without the Bothies. I was a big fan of Planxty, but when this lot appeared they completely blew everyone off the stage. Still the best.
In the 90's Paddy Keenan did a tour of some Irish-American clubs and we, living in Columbus OH 120 miles away, got word he'd appear at the Cleveland West Side Irish-American club for a concert and follow-up jam sessiun. Evidently almost nobody else did, because there were barely 20 of us for a Paddy Keenan solo concert. Look up my ID, you can see that I've made some hardware contributions to this music and the uilleann pipes. You can't write fairy tales like this but my wife and I got to sit at each of his elbows that night, I with uilleann pipes and my wife with bodhran, both of us quite modest players. He was so gracious. Any time he started a tune and few or nobody joined, he'd quickly switch till he found a tune that enough of us few knew.
HARD ROCKING MUSIC, THEY WOULD SHAME A HEAVY METAL BAND WITH 10 TRUCK LOADS OF EQUIPMENT The later 1960s and all the 1970s and early part of the 1980s were the golden day of the most brilliant hard rocking folk and Thin Lizzy Rory Gallager Van Morrison Dancing & Rocking Music. My brothers, I was there for Phil/Thin Lizzy Rory Gallaher and some of those master folk bands I dancing then, and I am still dancing with delight when I hear this music< this music refuses to let me grow old
My comment was based on what I believed was a misunderstanding by @adrianmccarron4909, in that he appeared to be ‘correcting’ @silvialogan9226’s use of the term ‘bagpipes’. On reflection, I’m prepared to accept the possibility that Adrian was just expanding the term ‘bagpipes’ in general to ‘uilleann pipes’ in particular. However, @TheGavranatar seems to want to correct me, in so far as s(he) seems to think uilleann pipes aren’t bagpipes. Fintan Vallely’s Companion to Irish Traditional Music puts it quite succinctly: they are a ‘bellows-blown bagpipe’. There are over thirty known types of bagpipe, the Scottish (Highland) and the uilleann being the best known, at least in English-speaking countries; some are mouth-blown, some are bellows-blown. All of this would be well known to performers and scholars of traditional music.
I saw this wonderful band in the early 70s at the University of Lancaster. I still have my copy of "Out Of The Wind And Into The Sun", and I do play this set on my whistles. I must re-practise it. It's a cracker.
Hello Claude, I know of you and your playing. Is it true that you have a Boosey & Co F - Flute? I'm just trying to locate as many as I can of these wonderful instruments - thank you NH (holmesway@hotmail.com)
They played at the Gurtefescht that year or roundabout, and again in a small venue in Laupen. They were wonderful, enough to remember nearly half a century later, and you can't say that about many musicians!
This is truely joyous music, if you ever wondered what people look like when having a marvellous time playing what they so obviously love, then the Bothy Band are IT!! I devy you to listen to their music and not tap your feet.
I used to listen to their music while I was ripping down a freeway well above the speed limit! It just fits high speed travel so perfectly! They, to me, are the very best Irish band. My humble opinion. Irish rock! Their renditions make my soul fly! I literally feel a great lift in my chest as if I'm flying on my own wings over the green hills of Ireland when I hear their music. If that sounds hokey to you, well, up yours!
Because it's live TV, and because the etiquette of a live traditional music requires that I don't make it about me, even if I'm a musician myself. If I'm invited to join, that's a different matter, but it's their session 😀
Triona is actually playing a clavinet. I saw her many times in Chapel Hill in the 1980s, where she was living and playing with Touchstone. Kevin and Micheál visited pretty often, too.
Ah, memories....I first saw them live in 1977 ish at the Rainbow, Finsbury Park, it was such an exciting gig, up there with any of the rock gigs I've enjoyed over 60 years!
Me too, Mike. I saw them in 1977 at Saltburn Spa. on the North York Moors. It was a little disjointed as after some time there were technical problems but Matt Molloy stood in and did a 20-30 minute solo spot. They all got back on stage and it was excellent all round.
funny how Matt Molloy's flute carries over all the other instruments, even the pipes - I don't think it was deliberately higher in the mix, maybe the tone of it just cuts through
Although the inlay pattern looks like a Martin D-45, it doesn't look a Martin headstock to me. Looks like a"T" inlaid on the headstock, but I could easily be wrong ;)
Hey everybody! This video is from the battle The Bothy band vs another band (two fidlers and box-player seeting in left side on 2'05". Am I right? What is those band?
Of course you are not right!!! In what sense can you even conceive of two great Irish folk bands doing "battle". This is not some episode of an "Ireland's Got Talent" competition.
Paddy Keenan --the Jimi Hendrix of the Uillieann pipes
Ha ha
It can't be underestimated how hard this goes.
I saw these folks live many years ago. They were unbelievable. I miss the old days of them, Planxty, Chieftains etc. I loved going into NYC with my parents for great concerts. The concert goers were all so appreciative of the musicians too. It was a great time to experience live Celtic music.
And how about their Kesh and Drink of Water set,fabulous and inspired.
Now is also a great time for live Celtic music-- especially over in Ireland. The current young crop of traditional players is nothing short of incredible.
@@BobSoperJr if you have some recommendations I’d greatly appreciate it. I’m not much for television but I love music. Thank you so much. Peace.

@@tomreck8349 See above- Krelys or Skillywidden,but need to come to Cornwall for it. There are worse destinations..
It sounds like I'm down an old rocky road and then I slowly start getting carried off my feet and floating into space at high speeds
No words ,I did my homework every evening listening to these guys, Simply in a league of their own.
Altan, Danu, Solas, Dervish etc - none would exist without the Bothies. I was a big fan of Planxty, but when this lot appeared they completely blew everyone off the stage. Still the best.
Magical

Great music…….and especially seeing Charlie Pigott on banjo. This was De Danann at their ver best. Thanks for uploading 👍
The bothy band 1970 something maybe 71. Long live our brillient irsh music
Welll, ancient well. Well,ancient well.
I guess you have to remaster tobkeep up with the times
Absolutely incredible band wow....
There is no experience that equals hearing Celtic music so up close. That is a very lucky audience.
I also saw the Bothy Band live in the 1970s. What a night. Just brilliant.
Absolutely beautiful. Thankyou for sharing this.
Huge ! Best Irish band ever !
This live version with the keyboard more forward in the mix is so good.
They played so excellently. I love how the bagpipes blend together with the other instruments.
Uilleann pipes...
@@adrianmccarron4909 Uillleann pipes are bagpipes.

World class band, none better
Merveilleux !!!!
Quelle époque .
Quelle joie de revoir cela

Always very tidy. Controlled edgy. Rock and Roll. Love them
Hum finger.
I’m going to go ahead and give an A+ to the sound mixer.
The brilliant Bothy Band. Love this.
Love the Clavichord sound (and Triona)
A great musician who has always been talked about too little
The pinnacle of Irish trad. These guys have never been equalled to this day.
They’re just so fuckin tight. Almost trash metal-like in their precision.
This is truely joyous music, if you ever wondered what people look like when having a marvellous time playing what they so obviously love, then the Bothy Band are IT!! I devy you to listen to their music and not tap your feet.

Yet some of their audience look plain miserable! Yeah, I get ya though.
@@infledermaus well said and so very true, from an expat!
Simply *fantastic* !
Omg The Best Band In the World What A Beautiful Performance Well Done Guys
Happy days in the North Mon and Fr Leary's boys club the top of Shandon Street. Paddy from his youngest days was always a fine singer .
Great, tight band. All stars every one. ;)
How can the crowd not be UP dancing??!!
Because it's live TV, and because the etiquette of a live traditional music requires that I don't make it about me, even if I'm a musician myself. If I'm invited to join, that's a different matter, but it's their session 😀
Too fast for Dancing. But Brilliant.
What can you say about that? Brilliant!!!
Round the house, mind the dresser!
Amazing. I love the looks the band give each other at the end of the piece....
The sound is brilliant, this is way better than the studio version !
Triona is actually playing a clavinet. I saw her many times in Chapel Hill in the 1980s, where she was living and playing with Touchstone. Kevin and Micheál visited pretty often, too.
These guys and gal are great. Fine arrangement of tunes.
adore them
same
Super band !.
Ah, memories....I first saw them live in 1977 ish at the Rainbow, Finsbury Park, it was such an exciting gig, up there with any of the rock gigs I've enjoyed over 60 years!

The set, according to google, is: The Morning Star, The Fisherman's Lilt, The Drunken Landlady
Forgotten how good that lot were..how could I!
I like how that old keyboard sounds like a jaw harp sometimes ....😄
Fabulous!
Fantastic! A better mix than the LP!
Fabuleux !
AWesome ever so great ever thank you Bothy Band mighty
I met Triona in a pub ( in Ga.) She was playing ...before concert .....she asked me if i had any pot 😂....no i didnt
Keenan came up to me after a gig once for a rollie cigarette, but I was smoking my last paper. He looked disappointed then turned away & left.
No one to touch them!!!
[0:57] on dirait Roger Hogson 😊
Magnifique musique 🎶 ils étaient vraiment excellents
Top notch
Some of the finest of fine musicians right there
bagus sekali ! matur suksma
funny how Matt Molloy's flute carries over all the other instruments, even the pipes - I don't think it was deliberately higher in the mix, maybe the tone of it just cuts through
He always was a powerful player but especially in the early days - Best wishes H
I believe the tunes are The Morning Star, The Kerryman’s Daughter (in C), The Drunken Landlady, The Kerryman’s Daughter (in D)
That sort of thing; Morning Star, Fisherman's Lilt (Kerryman's D), Drunken Landlady and F. Lilt again. not sure of the keys.
Like a Drunken Landlady [1:20] this is one 'tight' performance.
Well, that alright. I might have a whiskey now.
Rocks!
Is there any trad Irish music vid that doesn't have Donnal Lunney in it?
I do hope not!
What is the name of the superb Celtic song starting at 01:21? BIG LIKE from Romania!
The Drunken Landlady - according to the LP sleeve notes ! The Fisherman's Lilt appears twice.
@@fergalwoods1817 Thank you for sharing this info!
Woohoo !
DIOSES!
First time hearing this and it's getting saved into my car playlist 💯
Ah! That is Micheál's Martin guitar ^^ Glè-mhath!
Although the inlay pattern looks like a Martin D-45, it doesn't look a Martin headstock to me. Looks like a"T" inlaid on the headstock, but I could easily be wrong ;)
Actually a Tama knock off.....but played superbly!
