Well Holy shit! On my way home from his show. That was something REALLY special!!! Seriously one the best shows I have ever seen in my whole life. Just fucking incredible. I'm almost in shock because of how amazing, joyful, passionate, and funny it was. Glen is this great storyteller. He was telling stories all night long, relating the songs to them. The band was insane, Glen was just amazing. Goosebumps over and over again.
Wonderful sing-alongs, and twice during the encore he pulled fans up to help him sing a couple of songs, just because he heard them singing along during the encore when a bunch of people crowded around the stage. The first one was the awesome woman I was sitting next to! We both came alone, and we really connected before the show, so it was cool to enjoy the show together. She was a great concert buddy, and a great singer. She sang the duet with him for Falling Slowly! I talked to her after and she was obviosly living one of the greatest moments of her life - it was really cool.The second women from the crowd was absolutely outstanding. Glen actually ended up passing the stage over to her for most of Her Mercy, the last song of the night, and the crowd was nuts for her. There was also a big traditional Irish drinking type of song that the whole 10 piece band and some of the crew lead a capella - the whole crowd was completely into it, singing along. And the encore opened with Glen and his guitarist suddenly appearing up on the balcony, where they played two totally acoustic songs.
Magical night!!! Do not miss a Glen Hansard show when it comes to you, whatever you do!
So yeah. One of the greatest shows I have ever been a part of.Post edited by PJ_Soul onWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -
We're seeing him next Thursday, and I'll echo what PJ_Soul said, do not miss a Glen Hansard show!0

PJ Soul I'm pretty sure the drinking song you mentioned is the Pogues song Auld Triangle ("And the auld triangle... goes jingle jangle...[something something] all along the banks of the Royal Canal") - does that sound like it? He's been doing it as a massive singalong for the last several legs of his tours.0
