Phil is a legend but he must have been drunk and/or high when coming up with that idea.

Thanks as ever Skid and I hope you don't run out of E-180s over the festive period

Mike Litoris · 19-12-2018 07:50AM

Hats off to you Skid X!!! Thats an exceptional job!

Can you use E-180’s on a Betamax (VHS players never made it to Holyhead

)?

Rory Gallagher Irish Tour 1974 will be broadcast on TG4 at 10.30pm on December 30.

‘The Rolling Stones: Live At Hampton Coliseum’ - The hugely successful Rolling Stones American Tour of 1981 culminated with a stand-out live performance on 18th December of that year; also becoming the first ever music concert to be broadcast on television as a pay-per-view event. The footage from this event has now been diligently restored and the sound has been newly mixed to fully enhance this stand-out concert from the Tattoo You tour. Including Rolling Stones classics from their catalogue and a legendary altercation between Keith Richards and a stage crasher.

‘John Mayall & Eric Clapton: 70th Birthday Concert’ - A special 70th birthday celebration in honour of John Mayall.

‘Bob Geldof and The Boomtown Rats’ - play live to a sell-out crowd at London's Dominion Theatre in 1985, in support of their last album together, In The Long Grass. They performed their number one hits Rat Trap and I Don't Like Mondays as well as many other hits.

‘Nina Simone: Live at Montreux 1976’ - Filmed live in 1976 at the Montreux Jazz Festival, a powerful performance from one of the greatest jazz singers of all time, Nina Simone who was one of the greatest female vocalists of the 20th Century.

‘This is Spinal Tap’ - Spinal Tap, one of England's loudest bands, is narrated by film director Marty DiBergi on what proves to be a fateful tour.

Wow, TG4 have some fine shows there. Nice one sligojoek

Welsh Megaman · 20-12-2018 07:51PM

Mmm...he is dreamy.

But enough about Gary Davies, this Nick chap is quite good-looking.

Gizmo55 · 20-12-2018 07:57PM

Joey Tempest vs. Jon Bon Jovi...it's a hair off!

Gizmo55 · 20-12-2018 08:03PM

Happy Christmas Skid, thanks so much for all the work you do, it's hugely appreciated.

Gizmo55 · 20-12-2018 08:28PM

Wonder what Holly Johnson makes of all the warbling from these two. Jaysus.

Ol' Donie · 21-12-2018 09:21AM

Outstanding listings, Skid. Well done, thanks for doing it all the time. Brilliant.

Quick mention for Springsteen on Broadway on Netflix. My personal listings have it pencilled in for Stephen's Day evening.

And, I may be going crazy, but I can't see The Blues Brothers anywhere in my RTE Guide. Has anyone seen it mentioned anywhere? Hang on, it's on Netflix too, isn't it?

Merry Christmas Everybody! Don't let the bells end!

Ol' Donie · 21-12-2018 09:23AM

Oh yeah, my beloved The Darkness are on the The Great British Bake Off Christmas Special, Channel 4 8pm Christmas Day.

This should not be happening. It's wrong. The laws of physics should prevent this event from occurring.

Yeah. Some baking crap interfering with a Darkness special.

That's the world we live in.

"When the postman brings the dough" works better with the tune, doesn't it?
