Gigs coming up

Went to Robbie Williams last night. Sound was poor enough.

222

What did you think of the show Fagan? I was also in attendance.

223

:eek:

With your other half?

Correct

225

To be honest, I really liked life thru a lens era Robbie, and there was little enough of those songs so that kind of disappointed me. Sound was poor, stage was fantastic - if you like that kind of thing.

226

Not a gig.

227

I believe robbie lies somewhere between event and experience, dependant on your viewpoint

228

Neil Young had a breakdown on stage Saturday night. God awful gig.

229

Tickets secured for The National in November.

Couple of mates went to it-both said it was the worst gig they were ever at.

231

Couldn’t be any worse than the Guns & Roses gig I attended in 2010 when Axl walked off after 3 songs…

232

I was there myself although in body, not quite in mind.

233

Neil is a strange character. I’ve seen him twice…in Malahide in 2008 where he was fairly shite and then in 2009 at Glastonbury where he gave an absolutely brilliant greatest hits performance.

234

It was a Neil Young and Crazy Horse gig as opposed to a Neil Young gig. That was the problem I believe.

235

The RDS, the wind, the (and I do hate to use this term) “event-junkies”, the lack of a big screen (unforgivable really) and some lengthy amounts of feedback seem to be the main problems. I don’t understand how anyone could say he didn’t play enough “classics”, though. I count 8 out of the 13 songs played that I would consider Neil Young (&CH) classics. The last five tunes included Cortez, Mr. Soul, Cinnamon Girl ffs.

Wasn’t there myself as I swore off outdoor shows in Ireland years ago.

236

Specific details please, Flanchops.

237

Not wrong, no pleasure whatsoever to be had.
