I was at this concert. Still to this day, the best concert i was ever at. What a day, what beautiful memories. The flowers were supported by Deacon Blue, The Black Velvet Band, Tracy Chapman and Aswad. What a line up. Had just finished my leaving cert a few months before. The best of times
It would be great to to see the full concert especially with that fantastic line up you mentioned, all my fav bands, seen HHF twice in Newcastle upon tyne, fantastic live band, i took my nephew who was only 14 at the time and he loved them.
I was there too... same time in life...deacon blue were flat, lifeless... a real flop... Tracy Chapman solo, no support.... Aswad, low tempo reggae... it was a stadium gig for crying out loud... nearly left, but MAN ! They rocked . One of the best concerts I ever attended.(And they rocked again when supporting INXS at Wembley years later)
That’s why music is the greatest thing in the world. There’s always new music to be discovered and for me it’s recently been Hothouse Flowers and what a find that I just happened to be changing channels and saw them performing I Can See Clearly Now at Glastonbury. Of course I was instantly hooked and downloaded their albums, beautiful music

What an underrated Band. They are fantastic. Very talented. God bless Hot House Flowers for giving us so much pleasure with their fantastic music. They will be remembered for years to come
Thank you so much for posting this! I grew up watching this VHS. This band showed me very early on what it means to be a band of musicians. Real music. Absolutely fantastic!
Wow, been a Hothouse Flowers fan for a long time. Saw them a few times in small venues in NH in the States. Could walk right up to them and have a conversation. It was amazing. They couldn't have been more down to earth and engaging. Still don't understand why they weren't as big as U2 in the States. Such talent. What a great show posted. Thank you!!!! Hope to see them in Ireland. Bucket List!
Astute observation. I have my own theory as to why HHF did not reach the heights of U2, when clearly they coulda, shoulda, woulda. The answer is Paul McGuinness, U2's very shrewd manager of some 30 years. That and the Edge, who is the only musical genius in U2.
Gypsy Fair is my fav song of all time and my 3 daughters and all my 7 grandkids also love the song so much, when were out driving they all ask for Gypsy Fair, this song will be in memory till i die.
@Terry O’Neill what an excellent recording you shared with us. I enjoyed it so much, thank you. ❤️ Impressive performance from the band. And of course the fantastic guest musicians too. 🎶 🎻 🎷 🎶
Liam O'Malovely as I call him, such a voice, see the Hots a number of times, still one of the best live bands have ever seen and seen a lot. Am going to see him and Peter next weekend live, cannot wait.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE ABSOLUTELY SENSATIONAL A WONDERFUL PERFECTLY MASTERPIECE OF A GREAT FINEST CONCERT I ONLY WISH THAT I COULD'VE BEEN THERE AT THAT TIME AT LEAST!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO LOVE AND RESPECT!!!
I remember this one. They were so great, and still are! Hothouse Flowers have got it. They have real soul. So happy to see this concert, them in their prime, once again. PS.. Hope they are gonna tour the latest new album. It is a cracker. Much much love and thanks x
Thanx a lot , merci beaucoup !!! i was at many concerts, seing Rory Gallagher, Bob Marley, Zappa, so many... but them Hot house Flowers, only get them on records since late 80's.. what a beautiful moment here ! I raise my glass of...heart ! Let us keep great vibes and hope through this strange days of 2021... ! Sláinte !
Thanks for posting this. One of my fave bands. Great quality footage. I've seen them a few times,never disappointed. I saw them at Glastonbury '89...the crowd to see them was huge, & they were amazing. Another time at the same festival I was behind Liam. We were watching 'The Wailers' he was with a couple of friends & a small child. He really got into the wailers & began to dance......& woah did he dance ......like he was entranced, just incredible!
It's a shame that it has been released on DVD, thankfully i have still got the VHS version but nevertheless i'm so glad that it's been shared i'm more than grateful
BEST. MOST OPENHEARTED. WILD AND SOULFULL BAND I'VE EVER SEEN. IM 55 NOW. SAW YOU IN 1988 I COPENHAGEN. BELFAST TOO 🎯❤️🙏🏼🎷 GOD BLESS. TELL ME IF YOU NEDD A FESMALE SAX PLAYER... 🥊
I was at this concert, Two friends and myself came down from Belfast, where we met up with a friend from Dublin. Two of us went to get drinks for us all, the DS were taking our hash 😭😭😭 lol
That's when I met the lads first! My sister and I loved watching the antics of The Incomparable Benzini Brothers (Liam and Fiachna! Peter would join sometimes 😊) on Grafton Street back in the day 😍. They were great then too needless to say ❤️. Oh happy days. Fab memories.
Electric- Liam your like one of the Bee Gees come a snow drop you can pull a gig off like once again if you put your Big Hart into it - that's The Hot House flowers reborn
me too! such a great day. Im professional drummer and i really admired jerry. years later we became friends and until i loved the states we would jam in my drum in wicklow almost every week.
I saw HHF as a support band to INXS at wembly, I think it was 1990. It was raining all day and I swear when they sang I can see clearly now the sun came out for the only time! also when INXS came on they were shit.

Thanks for filling in the Line up. It was only after reading it, that I discovered I was at this one too!!
majortom what a wonderful experience for you. Would have loved to have seen them live.
Hopefully they will play to the 500,000 people in the Snake Pit around the block from me at the Indianapolis Speedway next year.
Last moments of great músic...60...70..and the 80's then music died
I WISH I was 19 again back in 1988 fabulous time seeing Hothouse Flowers and other wonderful bands at that time.
I had the pleasure of doing 2 U.S./Canadian tour's with these guy's 89/90 - 90/91! Finest group of people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting !
lucky to see them at the mean fiddler and town and country club and others , really hope they got a few quid (plenty) out of it always a great show
The best band ever, forever in my heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Rest in peace Leo you beautiful soul
🕊️💔🕊️
I was there. It was my first ever concert. Set the bar HIGH for those that followed. Loved every minute of it. RIP Leo
I was there too, 15 years old.. My first proper open air concert,, I can remember every second of the whole day. Good times.
2024 and I love this band more than ever!
These people are simply beautifull. What an amazing band
This is what you call a LIVE PERFORMANCE
I was there! Easily one of my all time favorite concerts. Great line up that day. They were so young, was a great time to be young and Irish.
