No, only the Late Late Show Dubliners' 25th Anniversary Special (1987).

He did once make an unscheduled appearance with me when I performed "solo" at the Olympia in Dublin for a Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Concert. I had chosen, at the last minute, to sing Eddie Grant's "Gimme Hope, Johanna" but had not left enough time to learn the words, so I wrote them out and taped them to my mic stand. When they flew down off the mic stand almost immediately, Christy walked out onto the stage and gallantly held the lyrics for me for the duration of the song! Well, that's what friends are for.

Quality, there has to be some footage of that somewhere.

Christy has done several covers of Shane's songs including A Pair of Brown Eyes and Aisling, but the best collaboration was his version of Spancill Hill with Shane, just pure class.

oi agree, Spancoil Hoill's outstandoin', Shaneo & Chroisty are burnoin' on stage toigether.. but oi noitoiced tois' not performed woith Pogues, thats why oi asked the question; doin't knoiw oif those people woith them are just shoiw added people or tois' Chroisty's Crew; anyway, twould be great to see such coillaboiration, as woith Dubloiners for example.. OIroish Rover, Jack's Heroes... when 2 greats join foirces, oit turns oit grooivy

Pogues & Dubloiners, one should actually check out recordoin' of OIroish Rover that won Top Of Pops oin 80s and the latest recordoin' of Meteor Awards; to watch em' voideos one after anoither; oi mean, boith are such satoisfaction to watch, when best Paddies rock together, 20 years after and all the essence 'n' attoitude's stoill there, noiw thats what oi call musoic & unoited OIrish artoists!

The whole show was released about 20 years ago as a VHS by RTE. It was, I think, called "The Late Late Show - Tribute to 25 years of The Dubliners" or similar. It has never appeared on DVD, but the VHS occasionally turns up on eBay. It's quite collectable now.

I´m confused to Where?

Last night as I slept
I dreamt I met with Behan
I shook him by the hand and we passed the time of day
When questioned on his views
On the crux of life's philosophies
He had but these few clear and simple words to say

I am going, I am going
Any which way the wind may be blowing
I am going, I am going
Where streams of whiskey are flowing

I have cursed, bled and sworn
Jumped bail and landed up in jail
Life has often tried to stretch me
But the rope always went slack
And now that I've a pile
I'll go down to the Chelsea
I'll walk in on my feet
But I'll leave there on my back

Because I'm going, I am going
Any which way the wind may be blowing
I'm going, I'm going
Where streams of whiskey are flowing

Oh the words that he spoke
Seemed the wisest of philosophies
There was nothing ever gained
By a wet thing called a tear
When the world is too dark
And I need the light inside of me
I'll walk into a bar
And drink fifteen pints of beer

Because I'm going, I am going
Any which way the wind may be blowing
I am going, I am going
Where streams of whiskey are flowing

I am going, I am going
Any which way the wind may be blowing
I am going, I am going
Where streams of whiskey are flowing
Where streams of whiskey are flowing
Where streams of whiskey are flowing

The video on Youtube of Christy singing Aisling is out of this world. You can tell he really loves the song and puts so much emotion into it.

That´s right, Bono was on it talking about Luke Kelly, and the whole of U2 sang "Springhill Mining Disaster". But the most impressive minutes of that show were when Ciaran Bourke who was sadly to die a couple of months later sang a song from within the audience in his not-at-all-well state.
