The Late Late Show Tribute is an album & film by The Dubliners recorded in 1987. The album charted at No.31 in Ireland.
The set originated as a special dedicated episode of RTE's The Late Late Show, hosted by Gay Byrne, on the occasion of the band's 25th anniversary year. As well as featuring a number of unique collaborations, the episode is notable for hosting the last public appearance of founding band member Ciarán Bourke, who - unable to perform with the band due to health issues - recited "The Lament for Brendan Behan".
Originally released in 1987 on VHS in PAL format, the episode was re-released on DVD in 2008, and also as a stand-alone album on CD the same year.
