Fisherman's Blues - The Waterboys, Ireland 1987

The Waterboys perform 'Fisherman's Blues'. The Waterboys had just been voted Best Live Act and Best International Group in the Hot Press readers' poll. BP Fallon, the guest host for 'Saturday Live', introducing the band, describes The Waterboys as among his greatest friends. This is a real thrill for me. I hope it is for you.
