Bonjour Anne Marie ....Je regrette de ne pas avoir vu ce gars en vrai ....c'est un Monstre de la Chanson ....je pleure quand il chante car il le faisait avec ses tripes ....Que DIEU prenne soin de lui ....il le mérite .
I was lucky enough to hear both Eric and Shane sing this live in the 80's. I love the fact that it's one of Australia's most important songs written by a Pom and perfected by an Irishman.
I have came here today as an Australian to pay may respects, thank you for covering this song, you really got what this story means to Australians. RIP Shane
Proud as a Newfoundlander that we shared that beach with our Anzac Brothers, as a retired soldier, my heart bleeds for Brothers and sisters in Arms that this song evokes. Lest We Forget.
My grandfather survived this place, Gallipoli by being diverted onto Flanders via Egypt and this song by Eric Bogle, a Scotsman and performed by the Pogues still resonates, because he, my grandfather eventually, repatriated, came home to Australia, gassed and partially blinded. And yet he still gotup on his "soap box' and spoke out about the futilty of war till he died, aged 93.
Then you should hate this shit like I do it’s full of mistakes he isn’t Australian we didn’t land at suvla no tin hats the injury won’t stop him waltzing Matilda etc
@@glennplumb2313 Its not about the performers but about the stupidity and the futile supposed gains for winning. Wars are losers within themselves. And as history has shown, God is always on their side, regardless. I thank thanks you for the comment.
Had literally just gotten out of BRAIN SURGERY when I heard he passed, made my dad play this right away. I was delirious from, again, fricking BRAIN SURGERY and still managed to be touched to the core. What a loss, what a legend.
Many men have shed tears openly to this magnificent song performed by this great band.... The Pogues. Rest in peace old mate. You will be missed dearly.
the news of shane's passing today, ugh... what a mark he left on this wounded world. so many memories in my life, always with the pogues playing off somewhere in the distance, across the ocean and back, across continents. RIP, dear shane.
As an Australian this song touches my heart so deeply.The Pogues did such a brilliant rendition of the Eric Bogle song. There will never be another you Shane. RIP you brilliant poet.
Many versions of this song. None of the others have a narrator who sounds like an old, broken soldier. MacGowan’s broken voice and delivery makes me tear up. Soul crushingly perfect.
@ I did. And, I was unaware of how close the spirit/delivery is, or that Clancy was a decade or so earlier. Both, versions get a tear or two out of me for the people whose experience generated the song. And, I have time all day long for both of those. Thanks.
I can't believe he is dead - a part of our DNA, like our language, folklore, landscape and our history - forever intertwined in what it means to be a Gael.
@@ACey96 Christy's version is very nice. He's like a modern age version of the late Joe Heaney - the king of _a cappella_ traditional Irish folk tunes. Look him up if you haven't heard him before. His album with the green cover is excellent, though much of it is sung in Irish. Coincidentally, before Shane's family moved to Kent, they lived in Tipperary when he was still just a boy. Joe Heaney was a friend of the MacGowans', and visited Shane's childhood home often. Shane heard Joe sing many times as a child, which surely helped inspire his love for Irish folk music. :: end rant :: 😆
When i was a boy in Brisbane in the early 70's Anzac day was a very big deal....My parents would take us into the city to watch the march along with thousands of others and we lined the street watching the soldiers in uniforms and medals and battalion flags passing by and looking proud, maybe hiding the damage...and i remember the Anzacs passing...old men now and all became sort of quiet and still...one old digger in uniform and slouch hat looked at me from a few feet away and he had the bluest, saddest eyes filled with tears....that was 50 years ago and have never forgotten it
Mais qui pouvait chanter comme ça avec autant de ferveur et de perfection. Shane MacGowan chante toujours juste. À toujours chanté le ton parfait. Cette interprétation est sublime et poignante. Merci pour ce talent.
This song makes me so sad. My Grandma left Aghadowey Ireland in her late 20s. She knew she’d probably never her see family again. And she didn’t. Her favourite sister was Matilda and she missed her until the day she died. ❤️
Such a brilliant rendition of Eric Bogle's song. I remember standing at Circular Quay in Sydney and having the song in my mind and just sobbing..... all so clear
You can see the beginning of the end in his legs from the rear shots. We never realize how fleeting health and youth is until it's too late. Maybe that's for the best. Love you Shane.
I saw them in 1986ish n Toronto at the concert hall. I can't remember really. I was drunk off my ass. Still the best concert I ever saw that I can't remember, 🤣. I'll tell you what, kids today have no idea how good things were before the internet...
I was watching a retired US Marine on TH-cam a few months ago doing a reaction to “I was only 19” and stating that she thought it was the most powerful and moving ant-war song to come out of AUS. And I’m sitting there thinking to myself : “Have you never heard And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda?”. Anyways, this is a wonderful moving version by a band that I have very fond memories of growing up with during my teenage years of the 80s. RIP mate.
Shane’s voice made this song , no one ever came close, the band and the voice is all we have left now. Separated but still together. I would have loved to share a Gin with Shane 🤝❤️🍻🇦🇺.
RIP Shane from meeting my dad at a bar in NY and giving him advice on how should marry that pretty girl before someone took her away as you guessed she became my mum she is from Cork but her dad is from Sheffield so quite a bit of a mix. A great Rendention as always my dad would always see them when he was young he felt a connection to the band as he was an immigrant from Yugoslavia trying to find a place in life and when I was born in 93 he named my middle name shane and I got to meet him when I was 16 with my ramones leather jacket pogues shirt and skinny jeans and converse first thing he says " Oi whats yours favorite song" me being the instant dumbass that I was I answered " Irish Rover" and he looks at me deadpan and then smiles "Good Answer Mate now what can I do for you" we took a bunch of photos he signed my album of Rum Sodomy and the Lash and we sang a bit of "Wild Mountain Thyme" so all in all a great dude he will be missed Your Buddies Joe Strummer and Ronnie Drew are waiting for ya buddie in that great pub in the sky! RIP SHANE
Pretty incredible delivery, the slow rhythmic drum beat almost like men marching, Shane delivering eric’s beautifully crafted words. if there ever were a way to summon the dead of war and bring them back to life I think this performance would be the way
What talent you possessed Shane .what a birthday present for your good friend the lte great siniad o Connor.siniad would have been 57.!! Rip .my condolences to Shane's wife imelda .his family an friends.well Shane you are been laid to rest tomorrow on siniads birthday. SOAR TO THE HEAVENS SHANE .REST EASY..❤❤❤❤
Clancy brothers find no better version other than Pogues of course .. please listen th-cam.com/video/PFCekeoSTwg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=b8QWldvwBD9XJe9T@@marccurtis2702
Great rendition and full of feeling. The English, Irish and Scottish are all very close to us Aussies and as the same people we share each other's pains and elation. A video of a bloke in an aussie pub singing whilst standing at the bar is worth a look too.
Je n' avais jamais entendu ce groupe et je les ai découvert grâce mon père quand j était ado qui écoutait beaucoup de musique et depuis que j ai vu que le chanteur était mort j écoute beaucoup ce groupe et je ne lasse pas au contraire bon groupe ,bon artiste et je pense qu 'il écrivait beaucoup ses chanson ?😅😊😂
Legend of a man, may he rest in peace ❤️
Mais qui chante comme ça ? Qui ? Qui chante avec cette manière de crier, murmurer et donner ? Personne. Shane MacGowan. Incroyable. Tout. Magnifique.
Bonjour Anne Marie ....Je regrette de ne pas avoir vu ce gars en vrai ....c'est un Monstre de la Chanson ....je pleure quand il chante car il le faisait avec ses tripes ....Que DIEU prenne soin de lui ....il le mérite .
My favourite Pogues song. Just brilliant, poignant and sad. Everything you want in a song and so much more. RIP Shane McGowan. My generation’s poet.
@@presencemedia8508I think they mean this rendition is their favourite song done by the pogues
My favourite version of this too. RIP Shane. ❤
Listened to this over and over today.
It's my favorite Pogues song and my favorite version of it too

i came here as a swede to pay my respect both to shane and the anzac. You did so much more than what we did.
I am Australian, this song breaks my heart …. but Shane’s version is the best in my opinion RIP
Proud as a Newfoundlander that we shared that beach with our Anzac Brothers, as a retired soldier, my heart bleeds for Brothers and sisters in Arms that this song evokes. Lest We Forget.
Love 🤍

That's a great story. Yeah, combat veteran here agreeing that war is stupid. I wish people had the balls to remove politicians that push it on us.
And *yet* he still gotup on his soap box.
Why wouldn't he?
No war between nations
No peace between classes ✊🌹
Then you should hate this shit like I do it’s full of mistakes he isn’t Australian we didn’t land at suvla no tin hats the injury won’t stop him waltzing Matilda etc

We need real men like him now. !... BIDENS leading us to WW3 😡

💚
Get well mate
BRAIN SURGERY
@@_mynewcareer I feel like the occasion calls for all caps but I might just be addled from the BRAIN SURGERY
@@tubes-lut Doing much better now, thanks!
Many men have shed tears openly to this magnificent song performed by this great band.... The Pogues.
Rest in peace old mate. You will be missed dearly.
Indeed.
I'm not ashamed to admit this song always makes me misty eyed.
I cry everytime I hear this song best version ever
Whoever said Shane Mcgowan can't sing
As a aussie thankyou for covering this song brings me to tears everytime i hear it. R.I.P. Shane MacGowan your battle is over rest easy and sleep well
Their version reaches the soul of any veteran.
May he go waltzing matilda… 🫡
Beautifully said, god bless Shane,, we will miss you and love you long time.
Powerful lyrics by Bogle & an immense delivery by MacGowan. A song that digs deep!
As an Australian of Irish and Scottish heritage. Thank you Shane MacGown.
Long Live The Pogues.
Lest We Forget 🇨🇮🕊️🤍✨🇦🇺
I’m 43% Irish ☘️ his signing and instruments outstanding cheers 🥂. My mother and myself made us smile and sing thank you.😊

As an Australian this song touches my heart so deeply.The Pogues did such a brilliant rendition of the Eric Bogle song.
There will never be another you Shane.
RIP you brilliant poet.
This is one of those songs that always makes me cry. Much love for those poor ANZAC boys from here in the US.
"and the young people ask me 'what are they marching for?' and I ask myself the same question"
Wow... what a lyric
Courtesy of Eric Bogle
Bloody amazing! R.I.P. Shane
Many versions of this song. None of the others have a narrator who sounds like an old, broken soldier. MacGowan’s broken voice and delivery makes me tear up. Soul crushingly perfect.
Check out Liam Clancy singing this
@ I did. And, I was unaware of how close the spirit/delivery is, or that Clancy was a decade or so earlier. Both, versions get a tear or two out of me for the people whose experience generated the song. And, I have time all day long for both of those. Thanks.
A better song about the futility and destruction of war has never been written.
Shane sings it so well you believe he was there.
You nailed it.
A true talent Shane was. May he rest in peace.
Rest in Peace Shane!
What a talent you were, thanks for leaving us this amazing music!
Farewell, dear Soul. It's been a wonderful ride, being alive on this planet while you, too were here. Thank you for your music ❤
Bow down, pause and listen. RIP Shane.
Seen them twice in this period of history , absolutely fantastic and way way better than the crap out these days of ego and social media scumbags
💯 mate and what an awesome band
Absolutely- any gigs with The Pogues were simply wild fun
Just great, no more words from me😮
I can't believe he is dead - a part of our DNA, like our language, folklore, landscape and our history - forever intertwined in what it means to be a Gael.
Shane at his best.......an amazing song, too seldom heard....beautifully sung....
look up christy dignam singing it, its unreal

A lot of the Aussies that stormed the shores of Gallipoli on the 25th of April 1915, had Irish blood running through their veins.
Mais qui pouvait chanter comme ça avec autant de ferveur et de perfection. Shane MacGowan chante toujours juste. À toujours chanté le ton parfait. Cette interprétation est sublime et poignante. Merci pour ce talent.
Shane had a great voice.Haunting and infectious.It grabbed hold of you and carried you along.
He will be sorely missed.
Wow, he sang it just as beautifully live. RIP Shane. Legend.
This song makes me so sad. My Grandma left Aghadowey Ireland in her late 20s. She knew she’d probably never her see family again. And she didn’t. Her favourite sister was Matilda and she missed her until the day she died. ❤️
Where are ye in Australia.
IMHO the best version of this song. Shane's voice conveys so much.
Such a brilliant rendition of Eric Bogle's song. I remember standing at Circular Quay in Sydney and having the song in my mind and just sobbing..... all so clear
Love this version..brings a tear to my eyes. Sung with meaning and emotion. RIP Shane...thankyou mate.
Stunning version of a stunning song by the best pogues line up. Will we never learn!
It’s the politicians, they don’t care about us. Wars make them rich.
TERM LIMITS FOR ALL
RIP Shane. This is the song I’ll always associate with you and remember you by.
So sad and so beautiful,,,,
Rest in peace Shane. This is a beautiful rendition of this classic - brings me to tears
You can see the beginning of the end in his legs from the rear shots. We never realize how fleeting health and youth is until it's too late. Maybe that's for the best. Love you Shane.
RIP Shane from an Aussie fan with Irish in my veins ❤💚
The drum keeping that beat makes it sound like a dirge, which is exactly the way this song should sound.
I saw them in 1986ish n Toronto at the concert hall. I can't remember really. I was drunk off my ass. Still the best concert I ever saw that I can't remember, 🤣. I'll tell you what, kids today have no idea how good things were before the internet...

Anyways, this is a wonderful moving version by a band that I have very fond memories of growing up with during my teenage years of the 80s. RIP mate.
Spending the evening with tears in my eyes, whiskey in my hand and and video after video of this wonderful genius.
Rest in peace Shane MacGowan!
RIP Shane. My gran was born & raised in Tipperary so as an Aussie this tune is extra special to me.
Up Tipp, up Shane MacGowan 💚🤍🧡
Not many covers trump the original. This does. Eric must love it
And now another legend is gone. Rest in peace Shane
Shane’s voice made this song , no one ever came close, the band and the voice is all we have left now.
Separated but still together.

Pretty incredible delivery, the slow rhythmic drum beat almost like men marching, Shane delivering eric’s beautifully crafted words. if there ever were a way to summon the dead of war and bring them back to life I think this performance would be the way
What makes Shane such a great singer? It's hard to put your finger on it. But he's a shaman......
The drumming is like funeral procession drumming. An old part of culture from many parts of Britain.
What talent you possessed Shane .what a birthday present for your good friend the lte great siniad o Connor.siniad would have been 57.!!

Eine tolle Version dieses schönes Songs,von The Pogues.
RIP Shane! ... you'll be missed for your amazing creative gift to humanity!
This is one of the best songs they've ever played, it sounds very beautiful.
Smashed it shane, god hold him in your arms keep him safe .love from liverpool.
The Pogues at their peak. It would never get this good again.
True
Great and sad song, loved the Pogues.
As good as this version is, credit must also be given to Eric Bogle who penned a masterpiece. He surely ranks as one of the greats.
True.
Eric Bogle is a rock in a sea of shit.
Regards from Frankfurt.
Very true.
Check out William chrighton and John Williamson version Aussie accents
Clancy brothers find no better version other than Pogues of course .. please listen

To be played at my funeral...

Great rendition and full of feeling. The English, Irish and Scottish are all very close to us Aussies and as the same people we share each other's pains and elation. A video of a bloke in an aussie pub singing whilst standing at the bar is worth a look too.
God how I wish I could go back in time and witness Shane in his prime.
Saw him in his prime thrice. I know I was lucky. ☘️
Whenever Anzac Day comes around I always play this classic Pogues cover. Rest in Peace Shane.
This song motivated me to go to Gallipoli in 1987.... It's still brings me to tears.... Although Eric Bogle wrote it... Shane McGowan made it his own.
RIP SHANE thank's for all, from Corsica
Love his version of this song, so sad that shanes no longer with us, RIP Shane❤
