Stevie's voice was obviously failing during the second show, but it didn't matter a lick to those who were too pickled to even care. I wonder how many of them even remember being there.

I wasn't up at the front because I decided to go to second show 4 hours before it started (with 2.5 hours of travel from Belfast to Dublin to do in that time) I ended up right at the very back and I could see that the whole crowd was really into it, not just the rowdy people at the front. Not as much as they were the night before but still very into it.

I've never understood why people get drunk before concerts. I don't like to drink at them precisely because I want to remember it all.
