5.0 out of 5 stars One of the few original albums from Columbia still available, May 10, 2000

This album is one of the only ones issued on Columbia Records that is still available, which is a true shame! Most music of the Clancy Brothers is either from the even older Tradition label or are compilations excerpted from the Columbia catalogue.

The Carnegie Hall Concert, though features the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem at their best! Johnson's Motor Car is a funny song arising from the very unfunny troubles betwee the Irish and British, while The Patriot Game is a brilliant and powerful anti-war song.

The Irish tongue is so musical, and when Tom Clancy recites the poetry of William Butler Yeats, no singing is necessary! Listen to his recitation of O'Driscoll, and hear the music in his voice!

The Children's Medley is a classic! Listen to the wisdom amidst the nonsense words within many of these children's street songs...out of the mouths of babes comes much wisdom!

I strongly recommend this CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Never Better and LIVE, October 10, 2000

The Clancy Brothers are a group that you really want to hear in a LIVE recording. This CD captures that very well. Listen to the Lyrics. They often go from being extremely funny, to desparately sad. But thats all a part of being IRISH.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun night out!, March 18, 2001

This review is from: In Person at Carnegie Hall (Audio CD)

This CD shows the Clancy/Makem collaboration at its best:In front of a responsive crowd, in great voice, with a collection of Irish folk tunes, Rebel songs, and the wonderful medley of Irish children's songs that show the humor and pain of growing up in Ireland. Touching and funny, this CD is for anyone who enjoys the vocal side of Irish music.Besides, where else will you find a Gaelic sing-along sung by a packed Carnegie Hall crowd?
