Tempe Beach Park was alive with green last night.
Flogging Molly made their annual stop in Arizona to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, playing a show heavy on Irish ballads played at maximum speed, witty Celtic banter and plenty of toasts to their Arizona fans.
The band showcased songs from their new album, Speed of Darkness, but peppered the set liberally with old favorites.
The crowd was made up of folks from nearly all walks of life, a fact Twitter users noted, along with reports of bushes set on fire, comments on the set and of course references to that ever-flowing green beer.
Read on to see what locals tweeted during the concert.
