Every Dropkick Murphys show feels like St. Patrick’s Day. But unlike the three represented on the band’s first live album, they don’t all take place on the actual holiday weekend in front of a home-town crowd. From the 26 tracks of punk hysteria on the disc to the map of the Southie parade route on the back cover to the liner notes from Shred and Dennis Lehane, this is the ultimate souvenir of Boston’s finest new rock tradition. You don’t have to be a Dropkicks fanatic to be impressed by the band’s raw power on both their classic originals ("Boys on the Docks," "Barroom Hero") and their amped-up covers ("Dirty Water," "Fortunate Son"). Master of ceremonies Ken Casey has a few surprises up his sleeve for the occasion: he leads an impromptu version of the Bruins’ themesong and presides over a friend’s marriage proposal before "Forever." Guitarist Marc Orrell conjures the spirit of X legend Billy Zoom with his fiery leads, and drummer Matt Kelly’s hyperactive beats push the band to the edge of oblivion throughout. Throw in the all-ages sing-alongs "Wild Rover" and "Finnegan’s Wake" and the only thing missing from this Irish rock party is the Guinness.

(Dropkick Murphys perform at the Molson Canadian Snow Jam this Saturday, September 28, at the Bayside Expo Center. Call 617-474-6000.)
