The song Freak Like Me is introduce by Lzzy saying Dublin we are all freaks tonight. Its then the track Amen with added (ext bridge and drum solos/jam) after which we get a five minute drum solo from Arejay in which he carry’s out a number of drum stick tricks and finishes out with very over sized drum sticks.
Band back on for Back from the Dead / The Steeple / Killing Ourselves to Live. Its encore time with shouts of one more tune and ola ola ola ola which has for far to long became synonymous with encores at Irish shows ( imop) . Started way back during Italy 90.
