Neil Young & Crazy Horse - RDS, Dublin - 15.06.2013

Neil & the Horse came riding into RDS on the back of last years' Physcodelic Pill and played an excellent set lasting almost two and a half hours. Personal highlights were Ramada Inn, Walk Like a Giant, Blowin I'm the Wind and Dick in a Cup.

Last week's disappointment at Dec's was more than made up for, topping off a weekend straight out of the top drawer.

The Who - Belfast Odyssey 10.06.2013

The Who, what remains, on incredible form so late in their careers.

I had kept my expectations in check given the notable absentees. But a combination of Townshend's rebellion, Daltrey's vocal  power & fitting tributes to the men who couldn't join them showed my reservations to be unfounded. Fantastic stuff lads.

Ireland vs Faroe Islands - 07.06.2013 Lansdowne Rd, Dublin

Three points was the order of the day, predictably delivered of a Robbie Keane hat trick on the night he took his 126th international cap.
Tougher games lie ahead, but Keane's goals keep our hopes of Brazil 2014 alive, for now. Thanks Robbie.
