Oscholar

This should be a great gig. I can't wait to see them, especially after the release of 'Watershed'. Great album.

John

Stellar line up! I haven't heard the new Opeth yet but they've always been great live but Cynic playing too!?! I'm lost for words. I have The Ocean's first album but wasn't too hot on it. Prefer the other band who are just called Ocean.

Nooooo why must this be on on a Tuesday during my leaving

And why must your Leaving be on in June??? If you're living in Dublin, go to it, its far enough away, its only one night.

Shryke

Maybe he means he is leaving Ireland or something? I'm not big into Opeth but I wouldn't mind seeing them live. What are the supports like? I don't know them.

rainbow kirby

That looks awesome.

Cynic are awesome havent heard the ocean.Cant wait for this

christophicus

I gotta say , i never really got into Opeth, but The Ocean sound really good, and Cynic are not half bad, I reckon I will head to this.

Prezatch

Got my ticket awhile ago

Oral Slang

Looking forward to this - Opeth were great at Bloodstock.
Have to say, Cynic bored the beejasus out of me at Graspop last year. Not knowing their stuff, I was looking forward to them after hearing so many good things, but they really didn't impress me at all.
Have never heard The Ocean - must give them a listen.

Mushy

I forgot to say I really look forward to buying my ticket, gonne be first time seeing them, cant wait!

John

This will be time number four seeing Opeth. I wasn't going to go because I didn't enjoy the last one at all (I think it was the Ghost Reveries tour in Vicar St where Primordial supported). Stupid drunk kids, they ruin everything. The fackers.

Somnus

I cant wait for this gig! Got my ticket a while ago. Was at the one in June 2006 and It was amazing.

Watershed is great so I'm looking forward to hearing some new songs live

Numina

Missed my chance to see The Ocean Collective in France, glad they're playing this gig.

Likewise. Must say I'm glad I saw this thead, or I'd be missing Cynic! :eek:

John

You going? It's high time we met up again.

Töpher

Indeed! Can't be missing this!

I meant it's a Tuesday during my Leaving Cert year, I won't be allowed go. I'm in Cork so it's a long trek up back and forth.

CerebralCortex

I'm all the way in Limerick. Does anybody now what its like to get within a reasonable distance of Vicar street by car? Not sure how I'm gonna work this one.

I use a car park across the river from the four courts. Its in back of a filling station. Once your parked up you can go up the hill by the church (Christ Church, I think) and you're less than 5 minutes from Vicar Street. Thats what I usually do if I drive up.

DenMan

It does sound like a brilliant lineup. A huge fan of Opeth as I have their last 2 studio albums. Gonna be an awesome tour. Can't wait.

quoteunquote

Saw Opeth at Wacken this year but 'their set was waaay too short so I'm definitely going to this! I haven't heard much of The Ocean's stuff but everyone I know who has thinks they're brilliant.

smackbunnybaby

just a quick question to everyone going to this gig - have your tickets been delivered yet?
i cant remembr if mine were yet.if they have been then i may have lost them!

DenMan

Why does it have to be a Tuesday? grrrrr. Stupid course. That's one gig I cannot make. :mad:

Pyr0

Got my tickets the other day ! Wooooh !

Undergod

Haven't got them yet, but would not miss this for a big chunk of chocolate gold.

I can't remember if mine were or not. I better check...

kevin_de_big

Watershed's great in my opinion. Ghost Reveries was slightly lacking, it just lacked a certain flair. I'm waiting with baited breath for this show, and the Ocean will be immense!

jenizzle

By the looks of it, it could be sold out so get yer tickets now.

The only thing that disappointed me was that the new(ish) drummer got his girlfriend to sing on 'Coil'. Didn't think there was any need for her there. According to the wiki, they recorded AIC's 'Would' for the album... :cool:

krimson765

what time do ye reckon Opeth will be on stage that night..9 or 9.30?i cant make it until that time..

Might even be later than that. It says on this page that the first band are on at 8pm so by the time The Ocean and Cynic play I say it will be closer to 10pn before Opeth get on stage.

krimson765

was thinking that alright hopefully..cheers..i was trying to get through to akerfeldt on the landline but all i got was his answering machine..

spiritcrusher

I think Opeth are to be onstage about 9.30. They're playing for 1hr 45mins and are to be off stage at 11.15.

Nea

Only a week to go....
Cant wait to see Cynic also.

What would you like Opeth to play based on an hour and half?

I would like the following

Lotus Eater
A Fair Judgement
Baying of the Hounds
The Moor
Burden
Bleak
Black Rose Immortal
When

I know I am probably dreaming with Black Rose Immortal, have they played this much live as it would take up the bulk of the show. Would love to hear it all the same!

spiritcrusher

I haven't seen a set-list from Opeth in a while but recently enough I believe they were playing stuff like Serenity Painted Death, Wreath, Heir Apparent, Lotus Eater, Night and the Silent Water all of which are pretty sweet and I haven't seen live. I think someone also mentioned they've started playing When again. Actually I'd love to hear April Ethereal.

However, as this is a brand new tour the set-list will more than likely be shaken up a bit. All I really want is a fair difference from the last few times I've seen them.

Yeah, all the standing tickets are gone, just seating left

Squeeonline

Would love to go but i just cant get back from Galway. Wish they'd do more of a tour here. Even just 2/3 venues would be enough. So glad they arent playing in the Point like Tool did. Such a shiiite venue. Sound is terrible.

Nea

Heir Apparent
The Grand Conjuration
The Lotus Eater
Hope Leaves
Deliverance
Demon Of The Fall
The Drapery Falls

This was the setlist from Denmark tho it was a festival. Just hope we get something from Morningrise even if its Night and the Silent Water again. Love that album!

anti-venom

Worth the price of admission alone to see Ocean - brain pummeling heaviness at it's best. For those not yet in the know about Ocean check out their Precambrian album. Very highly recommended stuff.

Somnus

Great choices mp3guy. Especially In The Mist She Was Standing. I f*ckin love that song

Among many of the others :P

Doctor J

It's funny. People of a certain age are calling this the Cynic gig, rather than the Opeth gig

Pyr0

I've been asking people since I've heard if it "Are you going to the Cynic gig ?!"

I'm only going for Cynic, so to me its a Cynic gig :pac:

Doctor J

Oh you better believe I'm going for Cynic, but it's noce to have those other bands playing too

mp3guy

Setlist:

Heir Apparent
The Grand Conjuration
Godhead's Lament
The Lotus Eater
Hope Leaves
Bleak
Deliverence
Demon Of The Fall

The Drapery Falls

Order might be slightly off. Great gig though, really enjoyed it. Half of The Ocean's and Half of Cynic's set was entertaining, the other halves were boring me a lot. Good crowd, but the usual one or two goons completely off their face/fighting.

feylya

Cynic were ****ing unreal. Opeth just bored me which is disappointing.

Passenger

Superb gig. Cynic were terrific, great sound, they were tight and apart from the being 'a part of the Kingdom' remark I was very impressed by their deftness.

Doctor J

Cynic were worth every second of the 16 year wait, I don't know what else to say. After a while it felt like Opeth were playing one exceptionally long song. I never usually walk out of gigs but they just bored the ****e outta me, which is a shame because I find their recorded material quite listenable.

Quoted for truth.
