Horslips - Sure the Boy Was Green (Irish Celtic rock, Live at the 02, 2009)

Last edited Fri Mar 17, 2023, 06:53 PM - Edit history (1)

The original version of the song is on their 1977 concept album Aliens. I'd never before heard of the band until happening upon Aliens in a record-store cutout bin (probably for a dollar) in the early '80s. It was one of many cutout-bin treasures I bought blind back in the day. The album's concept is Irish immigration to America. Pity I didn't get to catch one of their live shows.
