A guest at Live at the Docklands, Limerick on Sun, 17 Aug 2025
Disappointing, had such high expectations from the last time I saw them play in Limerick. Why Purple Rain for so long. Less about Nashville and Tennessee, their old music is actually more in tune with the current vibe than their new music.

It was soooooo good! Mike was in top form and the Band were so tight
set was a good selection to please any fan and delight non fans. Everybody had a lot of fun last night the ''Boys'' and us and this time unlike the Fisherman's friend concert at the Spectrum years ago all of Mike's entourage made it through the border and on stageA guest at Paradiso, Amsterdam on Sat, 06 Dec 2014
Very good concert with some terrific highlights, such as " Don't bang the drum", wonderful fiddle solo! Mike and Steve playing so superb together...and the rest of the band: also great great musicians...Yes, I loved it a lot!

A guest 100% at The O2, London on Sat, 12 Sep 2026
Outstanding. I have seen the Waterboys on many occasions, but this was the best yet. Musicianship, as ever, was superlative with Mike in fine voice and Steve Wickham's fiddle playing almost transcendent. Steve Earle was simply the icing on the cake. All in all, a powerful, intense and emotive experience. One I will not forget...
