Newfoundland's most popular band celebrated their 20th anniversary with an intimate concert at Toronto's Danforth Music Hall in November. CBC Music was on hand to record the party and now you can enjoy all of the fun! This is the song "When I'm Up (I Can't Get Down)". - Hudba
Love This Band so much
Can't stop to listen to one; just keep going, "this one! NO, this one!" WOOT
This song always puts a smile on my face.
I know im asking randomly but does anybody know a way to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost my login password. I would love any tips you can give me
@Beau Ahmir instablaster :)
John jones is my uncle. Great song. I'm glad they like this song
Love the accent. Great song!
canadian masterpiece
newfies were not hurt in this production, but they hurt in their hearts bahaha
Damn good drummer.
Aye
Russel Crow’s bro?
Yup. Did you see them in Robin Hood together - or on Republic of Doyle?
Neil's book brought me here
so much irish in this
maybe English actually. The Oyster Band are from my home town - Canterbury. But don't hate it for that reason!
sigh
Politicians listen up!! I want a law passed that if a Canadian band becomes an institution (minimum of 10 yrs service as a band) that they not be allowed to break up by penalty of prison. Then we would still have great bands like Great Big Sea to go see. Its the bands fault for getting us hooked. They cant stop supply once they become our dealer and get us hooked.
Great big seas does the song better!
interesting, theres a jewish song like this that is sung during passover. It follows the same style. This is the last verse:
Who knows thirteen?
I know thirteen.
Thirteen are the temperaments of God;
Twelve are the tribes of Israel;
Eleven are the stars of Joseph's dream;
Ten are the Commandments;
Nine are the months of pregnancy;
Eight are the days of circumcision;
Seven are the days of the week;
Six are the books of the Mishnah;
Five are the books of the Torah;
Four are the Matriarchs;
Three are the Patriarchs;
Two are the tablets of the covenant;
One is our God, in heaven and on earth.
I prefer the original version. Oysterband's instrumental work puts Great Big Sea in the shade as far as I'm concerned, and Doyle's vocal embroidery is detraction from the original, not an improvement. And by the way, it wasn't just "originally performed" by the Oysterband, as Hallett put it here, somewhat misleadingly. Oysterband wrote it too. So let's make that perfectly clear, shall we?
Gerry Kachmarski I disagree. But hey, we all have opinions. Doyle sings it differently in the studio/cd version, have you heard that? Might change your opinion on it. I find that the Oysterband version craves the wonderful touch of the fiddle that GBS' version has.
I thought it was perfectly clear. I'm not a music expert, so correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't "originally performed by the Oysterband" plus the fact that Bob describes hearing the song on the radio and then deciding that GBS should perform it imply pretty heavily that Oysterband wrote it? He certainly wasn't claiming that GBS wrote the song, because if you hear a song on the radio that you didn't know before, you probably didn't write it.
@@augustrempelewert4377 I'm with you, Bob clearly said he heard it on the radio. He never implied it was their song, he made it very clear it was an Oysterband song.
@@StefanieRoyMusic Absolutely. It's crystal-clear what he's saying.
Each to their own. GBS did a great a job. My uncle wrote this song, he is John Jones of the oysterband, my mothers brother. Next time I see him I'll ask what inspired him to write it.
