Boney M. Live in Dublin, November 27-28th, 1978

A recording of Boney M. performing their hit Belfast during their 1978 concert in Dublin (you can watch the full concert here). The song was the first Boney M. single to feature lead vocals by Marcia Barrett and became their 4th consecutive German chart-topper. In the UK it peaked at #8. Written by long-time collaborator Drafi Deutscher and originally entitled Londonderry the song contains the cryptic lyric “Belfast! When the country rings the leaving bell you’re lost”.

In the US the song was never released and was replaced by Daddy Cool on the album due to Belfast’s political context. The fact that the B side was entitled Plantation Boy might have have had more sway on the decision to withdraw it from the US market.
