Of course, it helps that this band has had a heart transplant in the form of Rickie O’Neill, the 21-year-old drummer whose ferocious rhythm drives the auld fellas into peak performances that have produced some of this legendary live band’s best shows!
Of course, signature tunes like “N17” and “Tommy K,” and “To Win Just Once” are on 2525, but the lads from Tuam have some new goodies baked into this retrospective as well.
Their new chart busting single “Downtown” with Petula Clark is there, as is their tribute to their friend, Irish President Michael D. Higgins, “Michael D. Rocking in the Dail.”
The Docs offer a revamped version of “I Hope You Meet Again,” an a capella version of “Red Cortina,” rare live tracks, and about 16 minutes of commentary from the band as they stroll down Memory Lane. The iTunes price for all this is a paltry $9.99, a true bargain for such an amazing body of music!
The band is celebrating this quarter century milestone by throwing a party on the road this March, with stops at Atlantic City’s Borgata on March 9, Asbury Park’s Stone Pony on March 14, Boston’s House of Blues on March 15, and Philadelphia’s TLA on St. Patrick’s Day.
These lads jam gigs into their schedule as the tour draws nearer, so log onto sawdoctors.com for the latest information and keep it peeled to this space with an interview with the lads about the long, strange trip it has been! See more: St Patrick's Day , Irish Music
