As their eighth annual Green 17 Tour wound to a close, Flogging Molly took the stage at the Fox Theater in Oakland, CA and made the room glow not green, but with with some of the most penetrating blue and red house lights you've ever seen. Ground Control Editor At Large Raymond Ahner was there with camera in hand to capture the festivities, and he was left with no shortage of striking images cut! Click here for Ray's Lens-eye view. The pictures tell a story that will make you wish you'd been there certainly, but take heart – after the band wraps its current Japanese tour, they'll be back for a series of select American dates in May.
