- The Night Visiting Song. Luke Kelly's last televised performance. Broadcast in November 1983 a couple of months before he died aged 43.
I must away now, I can no longer tarry,
This morning's tempest, I have to cross,
I must be guided, without a stumble,
Into the arms I love the most
And when he came to his true love's dwelling,
He knelt down gently, upon a stone,
And through her window, he whispered lowly
Is my true lover within at home.
Wake up, wake up love it is thine own true lover,
Wake up, wake up love and let me in,
For I am tired love and oh so weary,
And more than near drenched to the skin.
She's raised her up, her down soft pillow,
She's raised her up, and she's let him in,
And they were locked in, each other's arms,
Untill that long night was past and gone.
And when that long night was pased and over
And when the small clouds, began to grow,
He's taken her hand and they kissed ands parted,
Then he saddled and mounted, and away did go.
I must away now, I can no longer tarry,
This morning's tempest, I have to cross,
I must be guided, without a stumble,
Into the arms I love the most
It's great to see people still watching this and remembering the great man
My heart aches every time I watch this. Knowing how Luke was suffering yet he sang so beautifully. God Bless Luke. Your music will live on.
Same here, what a great singer.
He had an amazing penetrating voice. As did Ronnie Drue!
This is without a doubt, one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in 21 years of my life.
I'm a good few years older than you and it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Keep it with you through your life.
same here
Luke's last public appearance too, apparently. The fiddle solo intro is just perfection for me
I can't believe he's gone 40th years ,I had the pleasure of meeting him when I was a messenger boy on lesson street in Dublin got an autograph still have it .
His likes will never be seen again, the good and the great are always taken early... Rip Luke🙏
Wake up wake up love part you can see the tiredness in him and was ready to go home soon this song is my favorite and so is Luke Kelly he lived an amazing life and sang so beautifully in this we love you Luke and will never forget you ❤️
Even though he was dying. Lukie still did it better than anyone else. LEGEND
Great to the end.
I come back to this version countless times and never tire of Luke singing it. Luke's Anniversary of January 30 is fast approaching. He will have left us 38 years ago.
A Present of crap
Luke Kelly was the greatest balladeer of them all. Raglan Road and Peggy Gordon are my favourites by him.Thanks for letting me know his anniversary is next week.🙏

I'm sorry to tell u 40 years this year one of the best I was only 3 when he went god bless luke these singers will never be forgotten in Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤ 🙏 ♥
This performance of Luke becomes so meaningfull when you realise that these words came straight from his soul, he knew he was sick and knew he would be leaving this mortal coil soon.
luke was a gem -a true irish gentleman
By then he probaby knew his brain tumour was not curable. And he had began accepting it. He was forgetting words as a result. He sang this through like noone else could. The songs first verse mirrors his life at that time which makes it all the more heartbreaking.
"I must away now, I can no longer tarry,
This morning's tempest, I have to cross,
I must be guided, without a stumble,
Into the arms I love the most"
I think it was his last performance!
I think so...
The Dubliners. The great Luke Kelly, Ronnie Drue, Barney MC Kenna! What a tradition!
I remember watching this as a 6yo on tv and its poignancy only hit me many years later
I’ve listen to this song many, many times, and will continue to do so.
Luke was very ill when singing this song, one of the last he recorded.
At the end you can hear Ronnie say well done Luke.
R.I.P Luke, a great balladeer.
Same here can just picture Luke and Ronnie playing this up there beyond the clouds.
You're right, This was also Luke's final public performance.
Can’t get enough of this man even after thirty eight years of his death never will be forgotten 💚💚💚
Kristine the Dubliners are unequal, Luke a great Balladeer, Ronny with the gravely voice, Barney unique on the Banjo, John brilliant on the Violin and Ciaren with his wit and comical songs.
The most poignant version of this most beautiful song and despite his declining health, he performed for his audience with all of his heart and soul.
One of those rare performers that exudes emotion, RIP Luke Kelly, you may be gone a long time now, but you still bring so many so much joy. A better legacy to leave I cannot imagine.
I am 40 years old, I was wish I was born in times when he was here, what a legend 🙌🏼
It's beautiful, magical Luke, but a sad version of Luke. He's obviously very unwell. RIP Luke, you treasure.
The haunting and brilliant voice of the legend Luke Kelly
December 1983 Luke Kelly last appearance with the Dubliners he died in Jan 1984 sorely missed a sad but another beautiful performance and a great song RIP Luke the greatest of all
It's a common myth that this was his last performance. It wasn't. This was recorded in June 1983, but it wasn't broadcast until 4th November 1983. He performed inbetween those dates, most notably on a tour of Holland in late 83, and the Dubliners album Live In Carre came from that tour. His last performance was actually in early January 84, at a Dublin hotel.
@@robertmcalpine488 Thanks for the info
we all miss Luke and the Dubliners as they will live forever in the hearts of Irish
this man is a legend of our land and boy do we love him RIP luke 💚🇮🇪
C'est très intéressant et émouvant de les voir jouer quand ils étaient jeunes, à 'l' époque où nous n'avions que les vinyles et la radio pour les écouter.
Merci à tous ceux qui œuvrent pour mettre en ligne tous ces morceaux de mémoire. Un bel hommage au groupe The Dubliners
Makes me sad every time I hear Luke singing this fine song..God bless you luke
Many have tried to sing this ballad few have come close , but none to compare with the incredible Luke Kelly he made it his own I listen to it regularly and it always brings a tear to my eye, I met him in the bar of the Commadore hotel in Cobh not long before his death with Ronnie trying to cure himself after the night before, I was in the same boat not much was said. Hard to think its almost 40 years ago. RIP my lovely man.
r.i.p. legend . a fan from holland 🙏🙏
Luke is the best singer I have ever hear in my life I have been listening to the Dubliners for 60 years we miss you Like & Ronnie The rest R.I.P
Awesome musicians!
God be good to luke..ronnie...eamonn and banjo barney from donnycarney...likes we will never see again
People often tell me I am narrow-minded in terms of my musical taste, which is stuck somewhere in the period of the 60s through the 80s. Well, sorry, but as wild as my imagination is, I cannot imagine any modern singer do what Luke Kelly does - knowing that he will die soon, bring up a gorgeously emotional and authentic performance, which, if it doesn't bring tears to your eyes, you have never experienced real music. Rest in peace, Luke 💚💚💚
Like you pal I listen to all music from all years and genres. But Luke Kelly was one of a kind, his music touches your soul, true Irish legend! Rise St.Luke Kelly 💚🇮🇪🍀
I'm afraid to tell u lu,ey died in 1983 I was only 3 ut still listen and enjoy his music this one was his last live u could see Rooney r barney ready to step in but a true pro he got through it if I had I wish it would to see luke live hope your well 👌💯
My Luke's favorite song! How many times will I listen to him! For all my life!
I fucking love this music, thank you Ireland for this and infinite thanks to you The Dubliners, I've been a fan since 2009 at my young age, now I'm so in love with the love of my life and this songs are really touching
Such a beautiful song. Luke was a very special talent.
What a beautiful song , sang by the great man Luke himself ,so close to death ,yet his voice was still so moving .
There are no words to describe Luke's talent and charisma! For sure , Luke you are still continue the best among all folk singers and I believe you could sing, perform, and give your own personal touch to Rock & Roll. Your songs are in my daily life and I'm passing your legacy on to the youngers ones. Such a precious Irish treasure has to be shared!
Yes, I share your feelings for Luke and his music. I listen to a song or two of his every day while driving. I almost feel like Ronnie and the others are watching him, knowing how ill he is and hoping he gets through the song, which he does beautifully and memorably.
What a masterpiece he left !
For those of us who stayed alife and know how to value it !
Luke you may be gon but you will never be forgotten rip 🙏
This brings me equal joy and sadness. What an artist he was.
Qne of the best Irish folk bands ever
A beautiful performance under any circumstances, never mind Luke's illness.
This is one of the best performances I have ever seen
Glad you liked it.
@@TheDublinersOfficialbrought me to tears and I’m not ashamed to admit it.
The greatest singer to ever live. RIP.
Luke will never be forgotten.
His voice and presence lives on still along with the dubliners... sadly missed
What an absolutely beautiful love song ❤️
The man is still a legend.
I was out to a pub a few months back , two young 19yr old boys there were talking about Luke and the Dubliners.
Luke and the Dubliners will never , never be forgotten.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Luke Kelly was very underrated. The poor guy here was suffering a brain tumour. The Dubliners were amazing.
Magic, love the Dubliners.
What an amazing song, such a soulful voice. RIP Luke.
Haunting ,rip Luke and Ronnie ,never to be matched !
He had the greatest voice I have ever heard R.I.P Luke your music will live for ever with us
1:31 For I am tired love, and oh so weary. His poor face had aged so much in a handful of years. I've only just come across the Dubs in the last year and this crushes me. Long live that voice.
Ronnie telling luke "well done" at the end is heart breaking. He must have been struggling bad before singing this. I heard he picked this song and they weren't too keen. Luke and the boys will always be remembered 💚🤍🧡
I feel so sad watching this. Luke died with amazing grace and dignity. I can't help but feel sad looking at the usually happy and smiling Ronnie Drew. I think he's been crying, knowing deep down this may be the last time he ever performs with his friend. So sad.
Magical song and singer, genius, his voice is pure!!! 💛💚💙
Wonderful powerful voice.
Absolutely brilliant
We all miss you Luke what a wonderful singer the best I ever heard R.I.P
Good man luke at the very end said ronnie
Must listen to this lovely man singing this beautiful song 🎶 often 💚💚☘️☘️
What a man what a tune rip
When I put this on while I'm at work, I get absolutely nothing done. Nothing.
Just a few days before his death...best performance ever...against any logic...a true Dubliner....
Luke Kelly one legend 🙌 👏 ❤
I love a lot of love songs but this one inspired me a lot the melody lyrics I do not know why but I do every single one of Luke‘s songs this one is the one I think he should’ve been remembered for I love this song and ever since I heard it it has been on my repertoire
Sitting with God xx beautiful song
What a beautiful voice and words.
Luke truly you were the bast.
May you rest in peace🙏
🇮🇪☘️🎶🎵
70 years old and this still reduces me to tears. Thank you to all for your music but Luke was a one off and could sing any song and make it believable
One off their finest songs
He is just so amazing!💚☘️
Mit diesen Lied ist Luke unsterblich geworden
I wish I could have been at this concert
The Irish have always for generation after generation left their homes and families to fight & work overseas far from home ,, if you survived ,you’d wish your return would be as told in this heart breaking song , but in the real world the Irish wife is loving but can be the hardest women in this world , when will Ireland be that gods soft warm generous land ,, I’ve never known Ireland to deserve anything but sad sad songs ,, Luke Kelly , a man that Ireland wore away until still a young man it swallowed him up ,, Remember Luke Kelly ,, RIP
RIP Luke Kelly 🙏 😢
I love so so so much this version :')

Poor Luke in tremendous pain here very weak and ill almost close to the end of his life
Oh my god stop it !!!!!!!n Stuff my mum and dad brought us up on! xxxxxx Thank you so much for the most beautiful music from the best ever musicians zxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Good to see the next generation enjoying The Dubliners!
No words ! 💔
Lukes voice and this performance in particular could turn the hardest of men into whimpering children for a second
It is a shame in billions of ways Luke Kelly died shortly after this concert and he was replaced by Sean Cannon and Sean became a new permanent member of the Dubliners .
Luke the legend. Gone too soon💔
What a beautiful melody.🌹
RIP Luke💚💚💚
This was his last ever song with the band.
RIP luke.
He was truly saying goodbye with this song.
Makes it even more poignant.
Ìll singing what a man we need loads of lukes that's a man

Love this vert soulful❤
