"Good evening Los Angeles, we're Flogging Molly and this is what we do." Those were the first words from singer Dave King on the evening of September 12, 2009, when Flogging Molly took the stage at the legendary Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, CA. For a man who twelve years prior was playing at the helm of what was arguably a local bar band, headlining the Greek Theatre was surely a crowning achievement for him and his six compatriots. Born at an Irish pub called Molly Malone's on Hollywood's Fairfax Blvd, Flogging Molly rose from relative obscurity through years of hard work and relentless touring, blending traditional Irish folk instrumentation with heartfelt punk rock. Never lacking for confidence and swagger, the band respectfully declined to accept an award from the LA Weekly in 1998 for 'best bar band', as they had much bigger dreams and aspirations than that title conveyed. Remarkably enough, only weeks before the Greek Theatre show, Flogging Molly was awarded an official Gold record plaque in the U.S. for their 'Drunken Lullabies' album. 500,000 units sold in this day and age is no small feat for any act, and once again it is a testament to the band's foresight and evidence of the impact of their music on the throngs of fans that they play in front of each year. This three disc set (2CD + full-length DVD) captures U.S. band Flogging Molly's epic performance at the Greek Theatre on September 12, 2009, featuring over 90 minutes of music spanning the band's entire catalogue, from 'Swagger' to their latest studio album 'Float'. The DVD, shot in HD with over ten cameras showcases the explosive performance. DVD bonus content includes seven Flogging Molly videos as well as behind the scenes interviews with the band.
