Lessee, how many can I get:

Van Morrison
Rory Gallagher
Thin Lizzy
The Corrs
Mumford et al
The Waterboys
U2
Pogues
Sinead O'Connor
Boomtown Rats

I'm sure there are others; this was what I came up with off the top of my head.

Cranberries too.  Dunno if Dropkick Murphys count (technically American?)  but I'd welcome them with open arms.

Pre-set: Man, I am *sick* of this Imagine Dragons song. Another of those "let's write something that will be covered by the cast of Glee" numbers.

T'in Lizzy, don'cha know.  "Whiskey in the Jar"-O.  BOS1, always loved this; a Capital Gold fave (it was a UK Top Ten way back in '73 and I surely never heard it on NYC radio)

Sinead shows up -- another song she no longer does live?

A great choice to start the set -- and a bit more authentically Irish than The Boys Are Back In Town.

Oops, yes, good call! How did I forget them? And the DMs might be a good guess too, given their Boston roots and those of our esteemed hostess.

U2 too. "Gloria". Well, I guess a rarity from them was out-of-the-question.

What was the clip before Flogging Molly? The sobriety test one. Perhaps Craig Ferguson?
