Gandalf Murphy - Pirate Ball - Set 4


A rather remarkable number of people downloaded Set 1 of this 4 Set night... I honestly would not have guessed that so many of you were into Pirate music!

This is a wonderful set of Gandalf Murphy's own compositions and medleys.. Some very strange stuff, indeed! I'll put the set list in the comments. Suffice to say that Sharkey playing slide mandolin during "Tink" is worth the download all by itself! "Tink" is a love song to the Tinkerbell in all women - and a *rockin* tune! They also cover "Scarecrow" by Mr. Barrett... and they sing a song written about Syd called... "Syd". Absolutely, absolutely worth the price of admission right there.

We also get Moondog House - a very high tempo rockin song for people who prefer dancing about in their underwear to going to church on Sunday morning. There's a "mash-up" of
Riders On The Storm / Billie Jean / Enter Sandman that will have you wondering what kind of strange alternate reality you suddenly entered.

In short - these people know how to throw a party. This set is why this concert is in my top five of all time. Throw this DVD on & turn the volume to 11. Your ears - and your neighbors - will be glad that you did!

It tells me I can't download unless I become a premium user. True?

I'd really love to hear this (and the other 2 sets too, if you have them). I was there and it was an awesome night.
