Isradixie always does that - if the venue permits it - except that
they all march, the drummer playing just his sticks.

But then, they always play an encore - not always the same.

Anotehr Israeli band - The Stompers - seems to finish with the Saints;
however, we in the know always expect "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" -
they never finish without playing that.
