Yeah- the idiots are, well, idiots...but where is everyone else? Tell me ther ewas SOME sort of crowd. I love this band, never caught them live....but damn- last time I saw KC and the Sunshine band the crowd was heavier

[RichieNJim]

It was a Philly burb Irish Festival and someone had the balls to book Black 47. It wasn't marketed very well and the general attendance outside the beer garden (where the stage was) was mostly family. It was kind of fun to watch the shock value.

So we were right in front, drank gallons of Guinness and didn't have to video over anyone.

Talked to Larry and he shouted out "Maria's Wedding" to me, Jim. Check out that vid from our stash.

Pity about the drunken twats at the front.

[RichieNJim]

About all we can say is, the show was held in Gloucester City, NJ. They're Irish; they just don't know why.

Ireland Unfree Shall Never Be At Peace 26+6=1

Ive changed my opinion about this, after reading below. I mean, so there are kids there looking to have fun, why are we all so judgemental? What the fuck should they be doing, they are just hanging out there, making the best of a situation bereft of a big crowd...

I dunno....It was probably a pretty cool experience.

Drunken twats? Get a life man.

up the fucking ra

@ChevalierdeJohnstone

Actually in Left wing circles it should be the left fist but that's beside the point. I doubt these fools are cohere3nt enough to know why they are raising their fists. Idiots like that are the reason I gave up going to rebel concerts, you just have a glut of drunken rednecks prancing around the place who probably don't even understand the politics behind the music.

@JohnCronin103

Kids? Ha, those guys must be 40 if they are a day. I know their type, trust me they spoil everyone else's enjoyment. I always hated seeing people like that at gigs. If the crowd wasn't so small, that level of drunkenness would be a public saftey issue. So yes, I stand by my drunken twats remark.

[TyteFystedFolkie]

@Doniedaff Yea. They're in every crowd. They always seem to wanna be putting on their own 'show', as if, it's ALL about them.

[LoveHeartsAndDrama]

TO PROTECT THE PROLETARIAN FROM THEIR BOSSES AND THEIR SCREWS!

[beesleeper]

pogue mahone, Governor Wakler, Governor Snyder, and all Republican KOCH suckers

[ChevalierdeJohnstone]

It is the clueless commenters on here who are twats. The raised right fist of working class solidarity has been common at Black 47 concerts since, oh, 1990? It also just so happens to be the opposite of the old UDA "red hand" symbol.

I'm a committed capitalist stooge of Scottish ancestry and even I know this. Where the f___ have you jerkwads been?

BLACK 47 - KEEP ROCKIN THE BRONX!!!

[Lyonside]

@gigfydotcom Not sure, but Larry routinely spends most of this song w/ one fist in the air, and the crowd usually does likewise. It's a solidarity thing...

[gigfydotcom]

What's with the fist pumping tools up front? Let me guess... a. they have never been to ireland, b. couldn't point out Ireland on a map of Ireland or c. are Italian.

my name is sean mcdermott...lol
