Most of the songs that Christy choses to sing deserve reverence and are well worth just getting lost in. I, for one, do not pay money to hear some gobshite singing out of sync in order to show off the fact that he/she knows a few lyrics. There are times in Christy's gigs when the songs demand a quiet respect and others where jovial participation adds to the atmosphere. A Christy Moore gig is THE most complete performance.
