I was at that gig too, I wasn't mad about the selection of songs but I remember he was in flying form, gave it loads. That's the lay toner I saw him too. Tried to get tickets for the vicar St gigs but the price was shocking for a solo gig, I don't care how legendary he is
The Vicar St gig wasn't legendary. I wasn't at it but it came out on a DVD with the Greendale album. Basically he just played the Greendale album, which personally I love and hence would have loved that gig.
I remember Gerry Ryan, who was at the gig, talking about it the next morning on his radio show, trying to be convincing about how great a show it was when in reality, it was some old fart playing a heap of songs no-one knew.
a big star + vicar st does not automatically amount to something good.
