DROPKICKING IT AT THE PIPE: A capacity-plus crowd chanted, moshed and generated more body heat than the air-conditioning system could handle as the Dropkick Murphys played an intense 90-minute concert Friday at Pipeline Cafe. "Yankees Suck" was the theme of the evening as the Boston-based Celtic punk septet ripped through a high-energy set that included songs from their current album, "The Meanest of Times," and a few classics from the '90s. The Murphys opened their encore number, an updated version of "M.T.A.," by inviting the audience on stage, and the stage quickly filled with happy, sweaty fans.
