I happened to catch the tailend of a show on a PBS station
Saturday in which the Chieftains performed with Nanci
Griffith on guitar and even Roger Daltrey of the Who
playing bhodran and singing. It appeared to be recorded
in a concert hall in Ireland. It was produced by Irish
television.

Does anyone know what show this was? I'd like to see the
whole thing if it's rebroadcast.

Interesting. The one song I remember was "Ford Econoline."
I guess it didn't make it to the CD.

Actually, it can be broadcast anytime you want, because the video is now
available! It's called "The Chieftains - An Irish Evening." It was recorded
in Belfast. I found it for sale through Elderly Instruments for $12.50.
Their catalog number for it is RCA-VHS60916. I think it's a 60-munite
program, and looks like it has exactly the same tunes on it as the CD does,
including the Nanci Griffith and Roger Daltrey stuff.

Elderly Instruments is in Lansing, MI, and they have a very good mail order
program, with some pretty good prices. Their number is (517)-372-7880. They
have other Chieftains videos, too, as well as a Nanci Griffith video.
