The Waterboys - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@jonathannugent5899]

Just came back to this after a little while. What a great band. Cheryl is such a great host - she clearly loves the music. One of my favourite KEXP videos

Yes sirrrrrrr!.....

[@jhhunter3000]

Having see the Waterboys live a few times, I'm really impressed with this small combo, with a really clean sound. I wish I could get a few soundboards from this tour. I miss Thistlethwaite and Wallinger, but Mike is still going forward, so what more could one ask for!

[@andrewborofsky3723]

@@jhhunter3000 google said he is in a band called the Saw Doctors! He was as good if not better than Clarence Clemons imho.

The Waterboys and The Hothouse Flowers have got to be among the best bands to come out of Ireland in the 80s.

[@hooliganstorm]

Waterboys are God's gift to rock and roll. The Fisherman's Box collection is epic too.

[@andrewborofsky3723]

@@hooliganstorm U2 sucks compared to them, they weren’t the best musicians, in their early days, from when I first started listening to them. They were extremely tight

The day I heard A Girl Called Johnny on the radio in the 80's was the day I became a Waterboys fan. My favourite line up had Karl Wallinger (RIP) on keyboards, Anthony Thistlewaite on sax and Roddy Lorimer on trumpet. That line up blew U2 off the stage when they toured with them.

think that they have to say something DIFFERENT the last twenty years have been integrated with Catholicism and anticomunismo More of the same, today but should good for the American people and commerce.. same U2 Bono now is the best friend of their respective bloodstained Presidents USA

[@mgguzmanb]

Great to see Mike Scott playing live with great SQ, but I have to say that if Cheryl Waters was waiting 20 years to have them at the show she could have prepared a bit more the questions. The interview was insubstantial, and meaningless. A lost opportunity.
