The show was great! As usual for SLF. I see them every time they come State side and never been disappointed. Way better than paying extortionately high prices for over engineered oldies like the Stones. $25 for a great f-in night
The show was awesome. The opening band "Death By Unga Bunga" where great. The venue "Brighton Music Hall" is a very nice club to catch a show.
Once again, Stiff Little Fingers put on a great show. The band sounded better than ever, played the classics you'd expect (Tin Soldier, Barbed Wire Love, Alternative Ulster,) mixed with songs from later years like Strummerville and Guilty as Sin which are both excellent songs. They had great energy which spilled over into the crowd and made for a super fun show. I've been a fan since I was introduced to them in the early 80's and never miss a chance to see them live, and now my kids come with me to the shows and love them too. Hanx! for a great night!
Here's a sentence you probably don't hear very often in a review of a show by a band that's been around for 38 years: I wish they'd played more from their new album. In this case it's true -- the 2014 release, No Going Back, is a surprisingly strong album, and though the band may not have quite the same youthful fire that ignited their first few albums, they recorded some of Jake Burns' strongest songs to date on their most recent offering, into which they still packed a level of energy one might not expect from blokes in their mid-50s. On stage, SLF tear it up. Original bassist Ali McMordie in particular seems ageless -- and on this night he was clearly enjoying himself. The set list focused mainly on their first three albums (heavily weighted toward the first two, actually), and I suppose that's to be expected when you've been around as long as these guys have and had such a blistering start to your career -- that's the stuff people come to hear. But I do wish Burns & Co. had slipped a few more of the new songs into the set -- those songs hold their own with that early stuff.
There were audio problems with the lead singers mic through out the show and also with the amps. They did play songs that they didn't play in previous shows which made this show awesome!!!!
Stiff little fingers put on a great show. Age has not affected their performance whatsoever.
I've been seeing SLF in concert since I was 16. Let's just say that is a long, long time. And I was absolutely blown away by this show. They are still every bit as good as they ever were. Punk rock at its absolute finest. They'd give any younger punk band a run for their money and show them how it's supposed to be done. The new material is incredible - I like it much more than I ever would have expected. Songs have the same energy, same positive message, same essence of purpose as anything they did in the old days. They played a good mix of new songs and old gems - perfect set list - and the whole show made me feel like I was 16 again... unit the next morning when my aches and pains kicked in and told me I shouldn't head bang the way I used to! I cannot believe the number of shows on this tour (This one was the last in the US leg). This is a bonafide punk rock tour - lots of stops - and these guys put everything they had into it. And it was very, very much appreciated.
It had been 10 years since I last saw Still Little Fingers. When I saw they were playing on my birthday I had to go. So glad I did. The show was amazing. Lots of old stuff which I loved! Still played with such passion! A must have if you have never seen them.
The Stiff LIttle Fingers show was one of the best I've seen in a LONG time - and I've been to many shows and festivals. Lee's Palace was the perfect venue and they gave their fans what they've been waiting for. Cheers!
SLF played one great song after another. I love it when bands put their audience first. The only thing I regret is not being able to see them 2 nights in a row. I had tix for their show in Santa Ana, but had to give them away since we were driving to Vegas to see them the next night. SLF is the best!
Of all days for tornadoes to hit Massachusetts! I am a huge SLF fan and had not seen them since the 80's , so I was super excited to be seeing them again, I rated this event 5 stars because I know they are excellent live. I would encourage anyone that can go to a show to go, you won't be disappointed. I am beyond disappointed that I had to miss it.
Stiff Little Fingers was great, but the Gobshites were equally awesome! They should have played longer. Also, Showcase Live should have continued the Bruins Finals broadcast on the two screens by the stage since Stiff Little Fingers did not use the screens as part of their show. Overall, great performances from both bands.
Best. Punk. Band. Ever. All the classics and newer ones too, sound just as good as 20 years ago. Best part is, the band seems to enjoy it too, even after all these years. Can't wait to see them again!
AWESOME PLACE AND MUSIC. STIFF LITTLE FINGERS IS JUST NOTHING ELSE BUT EPIC.
What a show. I have listened to SLF for 35 years. I have always wanted to see them. Wow. Jake Burns was unbelievable. They played everything you would hope to hear. What a showman! Highly recommended. Can't wait to see them again.
