Slane, May 16, 1992

Frenzied ‘revellers’ get ‘down’ as Guns ‘n’ Roses play Slane.on their Use Your Illusion tour.

Few would scarcely believe it might take 25 years before they would return.

All they needed was a little patience.

Patience.

Never mind.

RTÉ News was on the scene, and the broadcaster’s Archive threw up the report on their Facebook over the weekend. Look at all that hair.

You could say the weather in Slane is a mixed bag. Tent up, so it can rain if it feckin well wants…

Wellies at the ready – but remember, umbrellas at concerts is a very big NO!

For your consideration.

Julien Temple‘s excellent  2015 BBC4 documentary ‘The Best Thing Since Cavan’ on The Strypes and their ongoing mission to bring R&B and rock ‘n’ roll to a new generation.

Includes eye-popping Cavan archive footage, Keith Allen, Monaghan’s much-missed Flatlake Festival and Elton John.

NSFW Language

London rapper Plan B implores the audience at Slane to throw p*ss at him and adds “You’re the tamest crowd I’ve ever f**king met in my life”.

Because there’s nothing an Irish audience love more than to be shouted at by a bloke with a cockney accent.

Nice.
