For me, Donnie Munro has the most beautiful male voice in the world as a singer. I often listen to the live concert from Sterling Castle 1997 and always get goosebumps, simply fantastic. For me, Runrig is like breathing air. My favorite song: "Going home". Many kind regards from Germany
Choked up listening to this I was at this concert ,nothing short of amazing people with tears of passion in their eyes . Now in Australia 11 years looking back at some incredible memories saor Alba, Alba gu Brath ..
Abba have just released superb music after 40 years and the world's gone crazy , and rightly so . But how cool would it be if Runrig reformed with Donnie back as lead singer , all the original band members, even one album and a few gigs . That would be one ticket we'd all want !! 😀😀👍👍🌟🌟
I'm a fan of Runrig for nearly 3 decades now. But it always seemed to me, that they were really surprised about their success and couldn't (or wanted?) really handle it. What makes them - in my eyes - even more likeable. I really miss Donnie and am in hope of a reunion. Like Abba reunited after 40 years. Hope, Runrig will not take so much time... ;-)))
Oh this would be Heaven seen them a few times wae ma Mum.n Dad they're 77 and 73 now one last time of togetherness would be Amazing. Could do with Uplifting After the 3 years the country's had or rather 12 years 🙄😅 But Paolo Nutini is back... best Musician we've seen in many years prob since I saw Runrig 👍😅 🏴💙🦢💙🏴
OMG thankyou for bringing ma Heart & Soul Hame. Seen Runrig a few times, wae my Scottish Mum n Dad but no quite the same in Portsmouth Guildhall as Stirling Castle 😅...still thoroughly enjoyed the Band, ourselves though. We just missed this Cocert bcs Royal Mail wouldn’t let have that fortnight off. To go.up tae Scotland on our Holidays tae see family...ma wee Brother Barry was there he was a Roadie for them. We got up in the August though and our First Born, our Son was conceived on that wee Holiday. Born on 7th May 1998. 10 days early... thanks Son. 👍😅 ALBA ❣ 🏴💙🦢💙🏴
No one can beat this band it's absolutely the best in the world 🌍.God bless you Runrig we will miss you.💖🕯️🙏🌹💖There were many tears shed at the loss of this wonderful band.! Love the rif.My favorite used to be U2 hard to pick between the two.💖
You prolly dont care but if you're stoned like me atm then you can watch all the latest series on InstaFlixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend during the lockdown =)
A master musician, a rare talent, who complemented each other. Runrig may not be a group anymore, but their music will live for ever. That's what I say.
This is mad. Looked up the cutter as i just got my negative pcr to go back to Ontario after my father in law died b4 covid and his son is in Canada. Ended up you tube suggested Donnies farewell.. song 3 "canada" mad..
They weren't the best looking band around, but the produced the best music by far...and for many years to come !!! And I hope to leave this world from the last 20 mins of this amazing but sad performance.
@@dannyboy7715 I think Rory's handsome he reminds my Mum and I of my brother and he's handsome...Aye bcs he looks like me. Just Jesting 👍😅🤣🤣 Beauty comes from the Heart & Soul 🏴💙🦢💙🏴

I thought that losing Donnie would be the end of them. Bruce brought his own take on things; and let's face it - how many bands have changed members and no-one has said owt? The only thing I don't like (but it's their prerogative) is the fact they stopped.
Donnie was a really good front-man for Runrig until he decided he was a more important man than that and went into politics.. Bruce more than filled his boots!
@@jamescoyle3457 I like a lot of Bruce's stuff but it took a while for me to appreciate. Still some of the old songs that Donnie sung, like Flower of the West, sound flat when sung by Bruce. if it hadn't been for Rory's singing I doubt that I would have even given Bruce a chance to actually impress me with some of the newer songs. Just my opinion.
Don -- There is no reason to criticze. Moreover, you do not know the backstory or possible other reasons. Your comment reflects poorly on you, dear man.
@@VectorStudio I do not know the backstory? I knew Rory and Calum in the early days when they started as a Country Dance band. Your comment is quite pointless, dear lady.
I can't say my Runrig story ended when Donnie left but definitely it hasn't been the same. Bruce voice is OK but can't be compared to Donnie's in any way, Donnie's is so particular that for me it was the biggest contribution in making Runrig such a unique band (just also only my opinion). BTW Thanks to Erling Mortensen for uploading the video, I have been whishing something like this for years.

Schade, dass ich die Band erst so spät entdeckt habe.
In meinen Augen sind die Weltklasse, egal ob mit Bruce oder Donnie.

I would dearly love to see that happen!
Donnie was the voice of runrig,never really found Bruce to be a good fit, saw them many times over the years,there will never be another like them
Runrig and Scotland forever in my heart.💙💙💙
Man, choking up here. So many memories.

Runrig lost Donnie Munro but Jesus they kept an absolute jewel 💎 in Malcolm Jones what a talent ❤️👍🏴
One of the world's top musicians and not just because he absolutely masters the Strat. The box, the pipes .....he can even play a drum!
A master musician, a rare talent, who complemented each other. Runrig may not be a group anymore, but their music will live for ever. That's what I say.
Agree with all the comments. Runrig were a sum of many parts - but Malcolm Jones' musical talent was surely irreplaceable.
I love them!! Lots of music on my iPhone now.
Your are Real and the best of the Earth!!
Después de tantos años sigo escuchando a esta maravillosa banda!!! I love Scotland!!!
If runrig was here when William Wallace was here we would be one hell of kingdom , we are but propelled do not realize we are scotland the brave
Scothia xxc
2018; 21 years on , and they ended with one hell of a goodbye! 😪😭
This just brought back memories of the final farewell. What a night ❤️
It was epic ..emotional night ..
Nicht gut das er weg ging,ok für uns
Best ever... with Donnie or bruce. Doesn't matter... wish a revival😊
What a band for Scotland true jocks
This is mad. Looked up the cutter as i just got my negative pcr to go back to Ontario after my father in law died b4 covid and his son is in Canada. Ended up you tube suggested Donnies farewell.. song 3 "canada" mad..

Would you consider the Rolling Stones to be a good looking band?!!!! Jagger's lips, Watt's nose.......Looks don't matter in music!
@@donstewart9592 Having said that though, Rory and Jagger could be brothers 😂
@@dannyboy7715
I think Rory's handsome he reminds my Mum and I of my brother and he's handsome...Aye bcs he looks like me.
Just Jesting 👍😅🤣🤣

Love your Band , songs voices, Great energy Guys, Great to hear the Gaelic👍👍👍
thanks for posting, have this on vhs at home, my favourite live concert by any band,
Listen to them in the 80s before most Jocks news who the where never liked the new singer most of the time in Germany then
Most "jocks" knew them from the 70s onward, don't be an idiot.

Fab concert. Brings back happy memories.
I was there. Best day off my life

They Take Me Hame. 🏴💙🦢💙🏴
Thanks for uploading!
Great night. We had a fabulous weekend.
I thought that losing Donnie would be the end of them.
Bruce brought his own take on things; and let's face it - how many bands have changed members and no-one has said owt?
The only thing I don't like (but it's their prerogative) is the fact they stopped.
Yes made this one for Donnie,s farewell
I love them
Donnie was a really good front-man for Runrig until he decided he was a more important man than that and went into politics..
Bruce more than filled his boots!
I couldnt agree more, loved donny but bruce was an amazing artist
@@jamescoyle3457 I like a lot of Bruce's stuff but it took a while for me to appreciate.

@@jamescoyle3457 Bruce brought the band to a new high, the Last Dance in 2018 says it all

@@VectorStudio
I do not know the backstory?
I knew Rory and Calum in the early days when they started as a Country Dance band.
Your comment is quite pointless, dear lady.
Being in the band for more than twenty years, singer Donnie Munro decided to leave to pursue his own way. And thus my Runrig story ended.
You need to give the Bruce years a try. Great singer and great tunes for 20 years.
I can't say my Runrig story ended when Donnie left but definitely it hasn't been the same. Bruce voice is OK but can't be compared to Donnie's in any way, Donnie's is so particular that for me it was the biggest contribution in making Runrig such a unique band (just also only my opinion).
BTW Thanks to Erling Mortensen for uploading the video, I have been whishing something like this for years.
I feel the same...I.liked Bruce tae saw them an were still Brilliant...but it's Donnie Munro and Rory's voices are Runrig for me.
