Comments

Great sounding tape that documents the first of three soldout nights at Croke Park in Dublin. This is a second source of this concert, and this one sounds awesome, too. The output is very crisp and powerful, with everything well audible as it features a close capture of music and vocals. There's some crowd interference, but nothing too annoying, although there are a few audible conversations and clapping.

Strong set by the band, covering the Irish anthem The Auld Triangle, originally written by Dominic Behan, and also covered by several Irish bands.
