| Smokestack fans knew what to expect, but the rest of the Friday-night crowd in Mother Reilly's were first intrigued and then converted. The band started light and then swung through a blend of re-interpreted covers and originals that was heavy on the rockers. With a top-notch vibe firmly established, it was a pleasure to cruise through a more traditional second set, ending with a premiere of Sean Plunkett's tribute to Little Richard: 'Ballyogan Betty'.

| The low-down: Despite a remarkably low turn-out (due to the American presidential election, perhaps) Smokestack Lightning delivered the goods on this brisk November evening. The newies (Don't Tell Me, Got You On My Mind) came off nicely, and One-Room Country Shack managed to be even more elastic, spacious, dynamic and expressive than usual.

| The low-down: The crowd was attentive, the sound technician was skilful, and Smokestack Lighting were in top form after a weekend of recording. This gig had everything going for it, and the freakish accidental breaking of three bass strings in a row only slightly destabilised the first set. Confident takes of Route 66 and Drinkin' Wine, as well as the first live version of the original Got You On My Mind formed the memorable moments.

| The low-down: Smokestack Lightning's shorter-than-usual set was a slow-burner: the band ramped up the energy gradually through the whole gig. Though the top-notch sound setup made for a confident start, the end of the first set was a bit of a low point. However, from One-Room Country Shack to the end the band put in maximum energy, peaking with an exhilaratingly wild take of Some Day, propelled by Robert Higgins' near-psychotic drumming.

| The low-down: Despite having to write off the first tune due to sound issues, Smokestack turned in a powerful performance on this Friday night in Rathmines. Newer tunes like Tennessee Woman had some serious energy and it was easy to build a rapport with the attentive crowd. Interestingly, the usual roof-raisers like Country Shack and Some Day were rather muted, and it was the psychedelic Cold To The Bone that dominated the last set.

| The low-down: Smokestack's debut in this East European-tinged bar was a pleasant experience, with a helpful soundman, a friendly crowd, and drinks on the house. Each set built momentum confidently and the punters demanded and got a good-natured encore.

| The low-down: This sparsely-attended outing in the Bleu Note was something of a challenge: technical issues with the PA system meant Smokestack Lightning hit the stage late, playing a somewhat haphazard setlist through a bass amp rather than the house speaker system! However the band rose to the occasion, delivering some real moments around the end of the first set - a fast but relaxed take of Route 66 was the highlight.

| The low-down: Smokestack Lightning kept things smooth and easy for this outing. What with a Bank Holiday weekend gone by and exam pressure impinging on a significant number of fans, the crowd was small - but the band had them cheering for the last trio of classic tracks.

| The low-down: Smokestack Lightning tackled their first gig in the spacious Ruaille Buaille bar with quiet confidence. Despite a limited sound system, the band got up some serious energy on all the old favourites, buoyed by a small but vocal audience. The mellow sounds of Jackson and On The Road as well as the slow-groovers One-Room Country Shack and Some Day were particularly effective.

| The low-down: With a more-than-decent crowd (including a good handful of dedicated fans), this Thursday night at the Bleu Note was business as usual for Smokestack Lightning. The first half was cut off prematurely by a broken bass string, but the band sprang back with an energetic second set dominated by upbeat rock 'n' rollers. One-Room Country Shack, Some Day and a loose but good-natured take of the immortal Johnny B.
