It's Got Me In The Gaslight
In the ever-fervent street life of the rock and roll dream, we're just a block away from Spanish Harlem and a short hop from Desolation Row. The street corner boys are a bit handy, the girls comb their hair in rear view mirrors and the imperial doo wop gang is singing just fine.
Brian Fallon is also happy to make his acquaintance with Belfast and compares it sweetly with New Jersey. And just to make the connection that bit stronger, he precedes a storming run at 'The Diamond Church Street Choir' with a spoken word version of 'The Boys Are Back In Town'. I guess the guy is also a regular at Dino's Bar & Grill.
Sadly, the demands of putting on a radio show mean that I have to leave the show before the finale. But I see enough to recognise a proper, rocking band, still loving the job and blessed with some of the best songs out there, such as 'Old White Lincoln', which roars away into a nightful of joy.

However, your seemingly positive rating of the crowd is as incredulous as Fallon's praise. Having been threatened by three groups of people in different parts of the crowd for having the audacity to not stand static, I have to say that for atmosphere within the audience, I don't think I have experienced worse. Even during the encore, it was only really the front two or three rows that jumped around a bit. The only conclusion I can come to is that your experience of 'romance' is somehow tied in with paralysis. Also, terrible pun but anything Lizzy inspired is alright with me.
