I thought the Academy gig was really good, could've been louder though.

Glad i missed these gigs. They were one of the best live bands i've ever seen live in their heyday and that's the way i want to remember them.

one of the most disillusioning things i've ever witnessed. pub band bellowing out-of-tune vocals, changing the lyrics to embarrassing stuff about conspiracy theories and 'irish begrudgery' (are we still on that?).

looks like we are allright.

i thought it was evident from the post that i was a big fan before i saw them live, but maybe i need to clarify that. begrudgery is wanting someone to fail before they do. there's a difference. cheers.

18 quid to see the greatest underrated band in history? OK!

Come off it.....................

fair point that, your right. i was having some tacky fun with words. i seen them earlier in the year in galway and thought it was deadly, but possibly for the same reasons you didnt enjoy them. i sorta like bands like that and submarine became my faves whipping boy album after a time, so i suppose i didnt want a rendition of heartworm and was hoping for a more submarine era set. i hadnt seen them before this year either.

Stop talking shite. Fergals Helmet was the best thing ever to grace the Academy stage...

Submarine is great too. actually the best bits live were the more guitar-heavy tracks from Submarine, at least the bits before Fergal started singing.
