    I think the O2 gig just wins out because getting to and from the venue wasn't an exercise in organisational failure. A lot of spirits were dampened last night because of the mess with the traffic. It's easier to remember a gig fondly when it's hassle-free.

    That said, AC/DC are better with more people, and there were around 80,000 of us rocking the place to hell and back...

    Personally, the o2 by a good bit, although it was bound to be better since it was my first time and i knew exactly what to expect at this (which is why i got a ticket!) plus i do prefer smaller indoor venues to massive outdoor ones and obviously there are no transport issues. That said I thought the answer were better at punchestown, probably because they had more time to do their stuff

    I'd say the o2. Punchestown was great but there was too many who were only there for one big p*ss up and didn't care less that they were in the presence of the greatest rock 'n roll band of all time!

    Well the first time I saw them in the point and Angus went through the crowd was the best ;)

    But this year the O2 was because the sound was better and there seemed to be more raw energy in the place. Also all the pissed muppets and the farce about getting home afterwards works against Punchestown.

    The O2 was far better, it was a fans gig and not popullated dull of drunken twats who mistook it for an average night out.

    The O2 gig was better, it felt intimate compared to last night plus the O2 gig felt hardcore and i'm glad to say i was there.

    last night did have it's moments too... the solo in the rain, and dog eat dog was a treat too.

    All in all both great gigs but the O2 does win out. I kinda knew it would what with being the first ac/dc concert i was at

    I was only at the gig in the O2, and it was just amazing, so I'm going to say the O2. It was even better because I got the tickets for free :D
