The Mighty Tour 2
Katie 
Friday night The High Kings and Gaelic Storm brought their The Mighty Tour 2 to Foxwoods Premier Theater. We had seen the first part of the tour last year and were excited to see it again in a much larger theater. The Waterbury PD Pipes and Drums opened the night at about 7:45. The High Kings came out around 8 to open the show. I didn’t keep track of the setlists for either band and can’t find them now, but I did write out what I could remember. I am pretty sure that the 4 part harmony of 1845 was my favorite song they did last time, and it was this show as well. After an intermission it was time for Gaelic Storm.
One of the band members, Twigger, has been recovering from a medical issue so he is not on the tour and they had two guitarists helping out to cover his parts. While we did miss Twigger, the two gentlemen that they had on stage with them were wonderful as well. Pat always makes me laugh – and Friday night was no exception. During Darcy’s Donkey they often encourage fans to dance like they are riding a donkey in a race around the venue. But Pat decided security at the front of the stage weren’t doing anything because it was an easy crowd and had them come up on stage to ride their donkeys for the crowd.
For the encore both bands came together to play a few songs together including John Denver’s Country Roads Take Me Home and then had the Pipe and Drums band come out and join them again.
