    "Covered" would be a very loose description of what happened

    That bit was awful

    Linger, In the Name of Love and Living on a Prayer

    What was the f*cking point of that?

    They do terrible covers pretty regularly in that breakdown. I think it’s fantastically terrible and hope they always do it.

    Sometimes they do Mariahs All I Want for Christmas.

    Thought it was great and clever how they fitted it to their style, I wouldn't take it serious at all.

    I'm still buzzing from hat show last night and I haven't had that in a long time.

    Decent gig and a great crowd. I'd agree with an earlier poster that the "covers" are getting a bit much - All I Want For Christmas was funny enough the first couple of times but shoehorning in novelty covers is getting a bit old now. Also, anyone know why Great seems to have been dropped from rotation - they played it in the Button Factory but not Vicar Street or Iveagh Gardens. The set isn't exactly overlong as it is, so why leave out such a belter?

    Low point of the evening was Joe coming back on after the set finished to drag some randomers up for a butchering of Óró, sé do bheatha bhaile. That was excruciating. The band's "no encore" policy should be extended to include that kind of gack with immediate effect.

    That was a load of ****, yes. Not a good idea leaving "Well Done" off their setlist either.

    However, another cracking gig from the boys. Idles seem to have the most diverse fans. There was a 5 year old on his dad's shoulders bopping away. Also a man at least 70 years old rocking an I'm Scum t shirt !!

    I should probably qualify that a bit - Joe came back out and asked if anyone wanted to come up and start a singsong; he didn't specify the song or take any part in it in fairness to the man - just walked off again once the two volunteers had started about their business. Still, ill-advised at the very least...

    What a great night out. Iveagh Gardens, sun shining, dead on crowd, 3 great bands in top form. Life is good.

    They just asked for people to sing a song and the two girls chose it and they were fine. It was just a bit of craic and I think Idles wanted an Irish twist at the end.

    Would have preferred an encore but so be it.

    Would have loved to have heard "June".

    Have they ever played it live? I'm sure I read somewhere that Joe said he never would.

    I'd probably cry tbh

    That's a pity they never play it but it's such a powerful and emotional song, I can get why they don't play it. Too personal.

    I wrote this song for me. It’s the only song where I’ve ever written the lyrics first and will probably remain so. I struggled to see where it would fit on the album because it was so personal, but after hearing the riff Lee [Kiernan, guitarist] wrote, I realized that I did want to show my pain. I wanted to illuminate the importance of grieving parents' right to call themselves mothers and fathers. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to play that song live.

    Apparently the album is written and the artwork is done. Due for release in 2020.

    I really enjoyed the gig last night. Crowd was brilliant...Just a mix of complete randomers!!

    Was a great gig, really diverse crowd. Would have liked to hear Well Done and Great as mentioned before. Also wasn't a fan of bringing the people up on stage during the breakdown of Exeter, probably the most tense crescendo on the first album, don't mess with it! Rolling Blackouts were great, it's gas, I've listened to their album I'd say 15 times and never noticed they changed vocalist between tracks!

    My fourth time too. Enjoyed it but didn't match their indoor gigs tbh. Think the sound level wasnt loud enough compared to usual. RBCF were very good but their Whelan's gig was sublime.
