Absolutely excellent evening of entertainment at the Usher Hall tonight, the best three and a half hours I've had in a long time.
Highlights for me had to be the Bum Clocks - absolutely mental - and the half-set - probably about ten songs - we got from the Proclaimers!
Was also nice to see Sir Tom and Rod Petrie getting such a good reception from the crowd as well.
Wee bit disappointing to see John Collins' video message get booed by some, but hopefully the fact that the next clip showed us winning the cup with him in charge gave food for thought for some.
The whole evening has left me feeling very positive about all things Hibs!

The Bumclocks were - IMO - effin' *****, but there we go. Didn't detract one little bit from one of the most enjoyable and memorable evenings I've had in a looooong time.
One thing of note - could we please, please get Grant Stott to be the Matchday announcer - about 1000x better than Tweedle Dumb or whoever does it at the moment.

What a fantastic night! Everything from start to finish was amazing, just amazing!! Sir Tom Famers speech was brilliant, and Grant Scott did a brilliant job presenting (why the heck is he not our match day announcer at Easter Road???). It was great to see all the former greats on the stage, espeically the wee surprises like Boozy, Glass, Brewster etc. The two comedians were great, some real cracking jokes! Fish, the bum clock brilliant, and to top it all off The Proclaimers were outstanding! Singing Sunshine On Leith was unforgetable, and Glory Glory at the end. Can anyone tell i'm still buzzing???
Please oh please tell me that was videoed tonight and will be available to purchase somewhere????

After Tam Dean Burn's vision of hell I can't get the thought of Wallet Mercenary and the manager of a well known Edinburgh band together in a jacuzzi full of boiling fat out of my head

The Bum Clocks made me want to gouge my own eyes out but the entire night was absolutely superb.
The Proclaimers performing Sunshine on Leith will live long in the memory.

I echo the previous sentiments and would just add that the hairs on the back of my neck were standing up from the off - the scenes of 1990, YNWA etc were superb and very moving. As was Kenny MacLean Snr's grandson's moving tribute. Just one question...who was the former player on the stage before super Joe (wee guy in the green t-shirt)? Didn't catch his name and can't, for the life of me, remember/recognise him! :notworthy:

through the night that there's not many Clubs in the UK which could attract such a talented line up.
I actually thought Johnny Collins got a rousing reception bar a couple of numpties shouting out with their
own agenda.
A great night to be a Hibby and will keep the momentum going over the Summer before the Euro tie
