Yeah. Think the singer died a couple of years ago.

[quote=“Thrawneen, post: 169433”]Any of our slightly older posters remember this song? (Obviously not the really elderly like Fagan and Boxty). These lads were from Sligo and played Self Aid in Dalyer. Only heard it this week for the first time and I think it’s absolutely brilliant.

Self Aid was in the RDS you fucking gobdaw

Apologies you ornery, elderly cunt

2604

Self Aid was a great concert IMO, I wasn’t there, as I was 14 (the brother was, had a great day) but I watched the whole thing, some excellent performances that day from the remains of Thin Lizzy, the Pogues were remarkably drunk, but brilliant. Cactus World News were very good, as were InTua Nua (Leslie Dowdall :wub: ) and U2 were brilliant (don’t give a fuck what any of you say about them). Van Morrison - “If Van was a gunslinger, he’d shoot copycats”

Were you at it Fagan?

2605

The shocking thing about Self Aid, from a neutral perspective is the stage times. Everyone only got 15 mins, so even the star attractions like Elvis, Rory, U2 and Van only got the same amount of time as acts like Those Nervous Animals (who, if you watch on Youtube, are horrendously out of tune.). You’d never get that these days.

This was featured before on one of the HBO 24/7 episodes and is currently being used on one of the trailers for the new Game of Thrones series. Quite striking.

Rory, I forgot Rory, he was fucking awesome that day.

2608

Was the self aid the one where Bono, man of the people went around the back of the stage drinking with a few youths?

2609

Yes Fitzy I was at Self Aid.

That’s absolutely brilliant.

I always felt this is the most melancholy Morrissey tune though:
