Fire and Water Records: A Very Daly Review of Best, Worst, and Weirdest Concerts

August 07, 2025

RECORDED LIVE (sorta) from the Daly family basement, this special episode of Fire and Water Records features Neil Daly and Ryan Daly ranking and recounting some of their most memorable experiences at concerts and music festivals. And in honor of the subject matter, the brothers recorded the episode together, in the same room, although still over Zoom because of other technical issues. Not that any of this matters, because it’s a podcast; it’s not like this is broadcast live to the listeners. But whatever, enjoy!
