They always say first impressions last, my first gig as a 10 year old was Irish guitar god Rory Gallagher in my hometown Limerick in front of 1500 radib fans....to this day I have never seen a better concert , although Twisted Sister in Dublin were very very cool , especially when Dee Snider told the mayor who was attending in a monitoring capacity (Irish versiojn of the much loved ..not! PMRC)" Yo mutherfu**er , I promise that I won't fuck**g curse one more Fuck**g time , nor either will any of the band" with that JJ French launched into his tour diary rap, every second word was either motherf***er or f**k.......absolute classic!!Def Leppard's comeback gig , Rick's first after his accident was also cool, a small club in Limerick on front of 300 fans, Jeff Rich then of Status Quo was accompaning the band and helping out Rick onstage until he got his confidence back, well as luck had it Jeff's plane was delayed in London and the Lepps were forced to go on with just Rick , and did he manage ok....did he what , the biggest roar of the night was when Joe Elliott introduced the band and the place went bananas when he introduced Rick...a lovely moment and a special night ...not to mention a great gig, well thats the history lesson over, back to work.....cheers....Kieran
