what can i say ? another unforgettable show. setlist heavy on stay positive. started with constructive and ended with slapped. cant remember the correct order but went something like this constructive hot soft lights sequestered banging camp navy sheets party pit massive nights magazines joke about jamaica stay positive lord im discouraged slapped actress
might be missing one or two i think they might have made a few fans . loads of people asking us about the unified scene. plenty of people around us singing along.
thanks to fn for the vinyl.
one more thing
I FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND

Had to join the board just because that was such an awesome set. Always loved this band but tonight cemented them in my all time favourites. Helps that CC are my favourite band, but tonight was amazing.

Nice set for an opener! How long did they play? Looks like more than an hour...

Pretty much dead on an hour, maybe an hour five! I was dying to hear Stuck Between Stations, but the set was so good I didn't notice til after!

They were on top form last night , I think John K got more or less the complete set I think there was another from SS but I'm not sure. They certainly gained a few extra fans last night both myself & John K were asked about the band, a few WTF was that I'm sure whether it was about the blistering set or John K strutting his stuff. Lost my voice as result of scream & shouting and I missed my last bus home from the gig. Great to have a few short words with Franz after their set. A great shot in the arm to cure my THS live dt's. Counting Crows set was abit lacklustre. Jealous of you guys going to stand alone gigs

amazing show. studying in cork for the semester, great to see a familiar and favorite group of faces after being out of the states for a few months. great set & fully agree that the hold steady made a ton of new fans last night.
