Planxty will live on forever as long as this concert is on KZfaq. 2024 and it’s miles better than any of the shite that’s in the charts these days. G’wan the lads. RIP Liam O Flynn, legend

I'll miss Planxty forever. I'm 72 now...

I cried today when I heard that Liam O Flynn has passed from us. A humble and good man, his music so often and always helped me remember my own soul. He never sought heroism or power, but he stood with whistle and pipes as a great healer of souls. Planxty has a place in helping Ireland to peace through the Ages. I thank each and every one of them. And may God bless and guard them through all of time and space.

Our eldest sister introduced me to them in 1970. Prosperous. I was sixteen. I'm 69 now and this Planxty tie still connects us over oceans and oceans of time.

The best concert I was ever at, incredible

Brilliant these lads saved Irish music in the late 60's early 70's.

Over 30 years ago I was walking in the Peak District and in a small village there, Edale, which all walkers everywhere will know of, I saw a notice board outside the village hall. It announced that Liam O'Flynn was playing there that very evening. I had and have seen Planxty and the individual members a few times in sizeable venues over the years, but that evening seeing Liam by shear happenstance in a village hall was magic. His music and talent lives on to be heard hopefully by generations to come.

R.I.P. Liam O'Flynn.

.... Life is lived and sometimes we go through musical phases.... I recall listening to Planxty in the early 80's. I saw Christy at Glastonbury 1986 after losing my son in 92, kind of drifted away from music. To have found this live show culminated so much emotion within me and these 4 men were so underrated in England. To have read the post that Liam passing a few years ago washed over me in such a manner that it was like losing a son again! The beauty of the human being and its ability to play an instrument. The 4 of these men brought and bring again, such overwhelming joy in my heart. The guy in the peaks catching a live gig was surely a golden ticket moment.

This band is the reason we started playing folk. Thanks guys, you gave us the passion. RIP Liam

Wonderful. With my heart I am near at the irish people. Thanks for your beautiful music. A italian guy.

Planxty;- an Irish musical treasure....

I can but say a huge thank you to these four men for decades of musical entertainment..I hope they know what they did for so many people and for Irish Traditional music

Love these guys, they just get on with it, no balls, no egos, no bullshit, no soft shit talk with the audience. The one and only P L A N X T Y !!!!!!

Supergroup. 4 fucking legends. You can't beat the Irish, Jedi Knights of music

Plus de 30 ans que j'écoute Planxty, cette musique transperce mon cœur et mon âme. More than 30 years that I listen to Planxty, this music pierces my heart and my soul.

Pulls at the heart strings .absolutely sublime. I'm a woman from Clare on the west coast of Ireland.

The finest irish folk band ever ! And also one of the best folk- concerts ever made... I`m so happy to have a hand full of CD`s from this brilliant band..! Seen in germany many good irish folkmusic at the irish folk festival tour (every year in the 90`s)... but none band had the magic like the music from Planxty... R.I.P. Liam Thanks for upload this superb Irishfolk-jewel !! B.L.,germany

That opening whistle melody...goosebumps

Memories! As an Australian teenager introduced to Planxty by new found Irish friends in 1970s.

I learned of Liam Og's passing today on LyricFM.. No other piper could possibly come close to his excellence..R.I.P.

Liam Og O'Flynn. A piping God walked amongst us. RIP with Seamus, Willie and Leo.

The Ballad of Little Musgrave... absolutely sublime

Been listening to them for 40 years. The most cohesive, talented group of musicians ever. I doubt we’ll see the likes of them again.

Andy's version of "As I roved out" 22:09 still tugs at the heartstrings after all these years. Sublime!

Rest in Peace Liam Og O'Flynn - your piping prowess will remain legendary. I fell in love with Irish music thanks to you, your Planxty colleagues and a very few others.

I wish I had words to do justice to their magic. But I can say thank you Planxty and mean it.Thank you.x

I saw the February 2004 concert in Vicar Street.... was the best ever..my husband used to see them all when they were Moving Hearts....

Liam Óg O'Flynn King among pipers, prince among men RIP

This music stirs the heart and the soul. Pure class!

It's so awesome to hear people yell when the pipes come in ❤️️

wow so beautiful! Irish music played with traditional instruments is sooooooooo beautiful!!

Absolute musical legends and geniuses, we will never see the likes of these great men again, sutch feeling and emotion that they put into everything they have done, music to stir the soul, peace and love my brothers!

No other Irish folk band has ever surpassed them and probably never will. Stellar individual and collective talents.

In these tough times this music helps me. Thanks for that.

OMG, this is sweet as tupelo honey! What harmony these exceptional musicians can evoke. Timeless...

the talent on this stage is extraordinary.

I love this. Thank god for this music.

Love this . What a great bunch of songs and tunes. Certainly one of the best irish groups of all time.

Planxty...The Led Zep of Irish trad/folk music.

..it fell upon a holy day..there's many in the year...love it!!

Liam's playing is always flawless . I am so happy to have so much spotlighted here and with excellent close -ups . My Thanks .

No one has even come close to doing what these guys do!!!!!

I feel very fortunate to have heard Andy perform solo and with Patrick Street up in Fairbanks, Alaska. What talented and passionate performers, I will never forget. I was reminded of Andy and the song "Indiana" talking to a server from that state and of Irish descent.

The smile on Christy face priceless

its 2020, which is the worst year ever, but the fact that this recording exists gives me hope for the future and humanity. Also, the song that starts at 36:50 makes me cry. every. single. time. Sad that Liam Og's gone, cuz that dude just SLAYS.

Jeez, the way the lads looked at Liam after playing the tune for Johnny Leary says it all.

The roar that erupted from the crowd for The Blacksmith... Liam Óg O'Flynn, absolutely breath-taking on the pipes. The other three each revolutionary to Irish music.

Farewell Liam O'Flynn. Your sound will echo in the world forever.

Rest in heavenly peace, Liam O'Flinn!

Liam O Flynn is why we're here

Irelands greatest musical export ever

This had to be one of the best concerts ever!

Planxty helped me grow up! To be a good human being! Thankyyou Planx God bless ireland!

I remember seeing Planxty back in the early 70's when they played in pubs around Ireland. IIRC they played in a pub called the Big Tree in Clogherhead near Drogheda. Used go to the youth hostel nearby and had amazing drinking sessions watching them. They were brilliant then and gave Irish music a whole new sound. Them and Sweenys Men.

Words does not do them justice, RIP Liam. It was as if they were one when they started playing and one

Planxty. This is the collective noun for maestros

Love this more each time I see and hear it.

Known Planxty a long time but just yet found this. Brilliant! I'm glad I did, better late then never. I love Irish Music and sure I will listen to this many times from this Day on

Liam, the lovliest piper I ever heard, R I P, Great man.

Thanks so much for sharing this. What a moment in time to be saved and savored. Thought I never saw Planxty together, this was almost like being there. Thank you again for this experience.

Rest In Peace O‘Flynn. God of pipes

Why this doesn't have views in the millions is an absolute shame..

R.I.P. Liam O'Flynn

Love the way they use the individual instruments, they are really the proud of Irish traditional music.. love them all ❤️❤️❤️

Outstanding concert.

Great musicians they fed off each other's energy

pure magic...never tire of listening to them...

The camera work on Blacksmith is so good, especially in the back half. The facing shots of Liam are so perfectly eerie.

O Flynn was kinda handy with those old pipes.

Nothing beats a bit Planxty. 👍

Wonderful , the words super group spring to mind . Fantastic to watch . So grateful for this upload Alasdair .

RIP Liam o’Flynn

Takes me back to student days and Spiddal in the early 70s. Liam O'Flynn must be about the best exponent of his craft ever.

Excellent, magnifique concert, bravo et merci from France 🇫🇷

Thank you Liam, Andy and Christy for inspiring me to take up the durham drum, uilleann pipes,celtic guitar,, I salute you all and not forgetting the whistle::::))) Thank you

J'ai découvert Planxty en 1980 à Worcester avec des amis d'origine Irlandaise. Depuis je suis toujours bercé dans mon coeur par ces garçons. Pour moi, ils sont connectés avec le ciel...

I absolutely love this consert. I've got the DVD and have been to one Andy Irvine consert and would advice everyone who loves this to do just that.

Love Planxty and Irish music, from a brazilian

He will always be moving in our 💕

Remember seeing them I'm Scariff , co Clare in the early 70's a couple of times . Brings back many memories, all good,

all 4 of em are brilliant...maybe even genius in their own way...together a truly mighty force...but for me it's always andy irvine who adds that special magic touch...those light dancing faerie fingers. Sure...Liam and Donal have the magic fingers too...and Christy the voice and charisma...but andy has that...something extra in the fingers.

Just discovered this for the first time. Excellent video....and how sad to hear Liam has gone on to pipe at the gates of Heaven.

They get better every time I listen not just musicians but magicians Erin go brath

Crying listening to these legends, and I am OK with that.

the greatest and most skilful Irish folk i think

Love the crowd surge at 2:13 when the pibrochs join in !

how could there possibly be 14 dislikes to this wonderful wonderful musicxx

Andy Irvine "bounced me on his knee" when I was a small lad with John and Sue Steel... hope he sees this!!!! He wouldn't do it knowadays as I'm a whopper 🤣🤣🤣 still listening to your music passed down through the generations.... absolutely superb :-) :-) :-)

Simply.......The Best!

Perfect, perfect

the song before the blacksmith sooo introduces the song so well, the first time i watched this i guessed when the blacksmith was gonna come up, best song best emotion intense as hell

Länge sedan men Irland och bland annat planxty lever kvar inom mig. Jag var där ett antal gånger i slutet av 1960- början 1970

fabuleux i love it god bless

Found this about 13 months ago and now 13 months later I'm still listening to this atleast once a week! Thanks for the upload

Was at that concert. Absolute magic. As for Liam Oflynn when he plays pipes it sends me into another world. Maybe my. ancestors
