2022 - the year of the dan: chapter 6
Chapter 6
Late April. The first road trip of the year. Low in Vicar Street.
I hadn’t seen them since 2012 at a steaming Cyprus Avenue. One of my favourite all time shows. Before that Primavera 2009 at midnight by the Mediterranean. And Nancy Spain’s in 2000 - fragile, weblike. But this was another order of thing altogether.
They arrived on stage backlit and played the first half of the new album Hey what.
The exultant I can wait. The spitting Days like these. The surging All night. Mimi’s nonchalant devastating la la las. I was emotional.
In the summer Mimi’s cancer diagnosis was announced. In the autumn her death. And then this gig took on even more epic proportions. To think she chose to spend some of her last days with us.
Nothing short of life changing this band.
