Sunday night marked the third show of the Dropkick Murphys’ annual St Patty’s residency in Boston. The room was packed with folks who had poured from the Southie Parade straight to MGM, and were still dressed to the gills in green. 

It was a community affair as usual, with the band packing close friends and family on stage ahead of the show’s kickoff. As the Dropkick Murphys walked on, Ken Casey got up close and personal with the audience, playing “The Boys are Back” to set the tone for the night. They played most of the hits, including “Skinhead on the MBTA” and “The State of Massachusetts” as well as “Kiss Me I’m Shitfaced” during the encore.

Supporting the Dropkicks were Hot Water Music, The Bouncing Souls, as well as fellow locals Rebuilder, whose frontman Sal Ellington can often be found slinging merch at MGM and other large venues around the city. He got emotional taking the stage, at one point waving a giant merch sign in what was a lovely full circle moment.
