The Savoy hosted many live concerts in the 70s and 80s. The most famous is probably Rory Gallagher’s 1972 concert which was recorded and is now a dvd (not sure if it’s an official one tho!). Among the concerts I remember attending at the Savoy are Horslips (3 times), Eric Clapton, The Undertones, Loudon Wainwright III, Don McLean, Janis Ian, Roxy Music and Madness. The closure and subsequent demolition of this wonderful venue constitutes a tragedy for the city of Limerick.
