Every spring break, I always try to go to at least one show.
This year was no different. Although I went to two shows, Flogging Molly was
the most anticipated. I have wanted to see them forever and now I finally had
the chance to. Can we say Destination Spring Break New Orleans Edition? I can.
The show was at the House of Blues, which is already a great
venue in itself.
The first band, if you could call them that, was called
Beans on Toast. They are from England .
Their songs were comical and their band name comes from a popular English
treat, but as far as their music was concerned, they were not my thing.
The same went for the second opening act The Drowning Men.
They do not stick out in my mind much as an opening act other than a Theremin
player because they were average.
Of course the most memorable part of the night came from Flogging
Molly. To make the show more awesome, this was the last show of the final
annual Green 17 Tour. Their set was so energetic and the crowd was so into it.
That made the show much more memorable. They played
Screaming at the Wailing Wall
(No More) Paddy's Lament
Every Dog Has It Day (full crowd circle pit)
Revolution
Whistles the Wind
Drunken Lullabies
Life in a Tenement
Square
Saints & Sinners
Requiem for a Dying Song
This Present
State
The Son Never Shines (On Closed Doors)
Us of Lesser Gods
The Rare Ould Times
Devil's Dance Floor
The Likes of You Again
Swagger
Float
Salty Dog
What's Left of The Flag
ENCORE:
Black Friday Rule (beginning of this song was acoustic)
The Seven Deadly Sins (Best song of the night)
If I Ever Leave This World Alive (Dedicated to Dave King's
"Dear Old Dad")
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life (Monty Python cover)
Can Flogging Molly come back soon? That would be great.
Thanks.
