Liam Gallagher & John Squire, Olympia Theatre Dublin, ★★★☆☆

“We’re not here for a long time, we’re here for a f**kin’ good time!” Liam Gallagher, swinging maracas in leisure wear that probably cost more than the average mortgage payment, and John Squire, pointing his Stratocaster at a pedal board that could likely launch missiles, received a huge roar when they ambled onto the Olympia stage on Saturday night.
