Bought my ticket today, looking forward to it. I saw Lou Reed a few years ago too so it'll be nice to get the other major play of the Velvets out of the way!

Shame he won't be doing Paris 1919 with an orchestra like he was last summer.

Unquestionably one of the greatest albums ever made.

Yeah, I wouldn't disagree with you. It's weird though, I mean most people who are "into music" know about The Velvets and stuff, but a surprisingly large amount of big music fans never got into any of Cale's solo stuff. I've found when I mention Paris 1919 I either get the response of "what an incredible album" or "I've never heard it".

Rothko

I've got my ticket and can't wait. It should be a great gig.

bullpost

Finally got round to getting a ticket yesterday.

Delighted to see he will have a full band with him, should allow him to do justice to some of the great songs from Paris 1919 etc.

Anyone see him live before?

I hope this concert hasn't been postponed like a lot of Cale's other dates!

There is a notice on his website saying the Album has been delayed and pushed back now for an Autumn release. The statement also reads that the dates that can be re-scheduled are in the process of been done, but, the dates that can't will be played as scheduled.

There is no notice of the concert been canceled or re-scheduled on the Ticketmaster or Tickets.ie websites, but I have noticed the date has been taking down from the tour dates page on Cale's site.

Does anybody know more about this?

bullpost

Noticed that on his website too but thought it was just sloppiness as the site looks like its not that regularily updated.

Damn - was getting excited about this gig as well.

Does anyone know if the gig is going ahead as planned?

bullpost

Just got email from ticketmaster and they are still selling tickets for it , so fingers crossed.

Mods can remove if they need to, I sent some Pm's there cause I wasn't sure if I could post, but I will anyway. It's not announced till tomorrow but the gig is being moved to sometime in November. It's a shame but at least it is not cancelled completely

Thanks for the heads up Ciaran!

The date is back up on Cale's site now, It's actually been rescheduled for October 3rd, Which is pretty annoying as I was getting really hyped up as the date approached, but ah well, as you said better later than never! be good to have heard the new album before the gig too!

Although it seems the Belfast date is staying as scheduled, perhaps a road trip is in order!

Rothko

Anyone else going to the rescheduled gig or knows who the support acts will be?

old gregg

I didn't even know he'd rescheduled. That's two Irish dates in a row that he's messed people around on. He's not that interested in pleasing his fans. Glad I didn't bother after being caught once.

bullpost

Yeah I'm going.
The original ticket is still good for the rescheduled gig.


New album not due out until October so may not get to hear it before the gig.

Anyone know if he'll bring a full band this time?

I think his new album comes out the day before the gig.

RolandGoose

I hope to be going to see Cale again!

I seen him in Belfast in May earlier this year, Very good gig!
He was backed by a three piece band, (bass, drums, guitar)

One of the most impressive bassist I've ever seen!!!

The reason Dublin and a lot of other gigs were pushed back was because the album was delayed, Cale put a statement up on his web site praising Double Six records for taking an interest in the music and allowing time for it to be finished properly, He was already committed to playing Belfast as it was part of the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival.

He played a couple of new songs at that gig, but none that I recognize from the track listing of Shifty Adventures in Nookie Wood, which is released October 1st.


Here is the first single....

and the second......

I have my fingers firmly crossed for Chinese Envoy and Look Horizon to be played in The Button Factory!!!


Also maybe a mod can change the date in the name of the thread, the gig is now on October 3rd

Hated Face to The Sky when I heard it first a week or so ago, actually put me off the gig when listening, but now I really like it. I'd say this album will be a grower. I Wanna Talk 2 U is a great track. This gig is gonna be rocking! Can't wait for it

Rothko

Does anyone know if he ever plays any of the songs from his days in the Velvet Underground or from his albums Fear and Paris 1919? I like his new stuff too but it'd be great to hear him play some of his older work as well.

Not too sure of the setlist, I'm hoping so

If he played this I would be over the moon!!!

CiaranK

Just about to post here. He has a 3 piece band I think. Really looking forward to it. Gonna get the new album tomorrow and give it a few spins before tomorrow night

Rothko

Anyone listen to the new album yet?

CiaranK

No not yet, just heard the two tracks on here. Gonna pick it up tomorrow before the gig and listen to if a few times.

Yeah, I've heard those two singles too. They both sound pretty good. Hopefully, the rest of the album is just as good.

Rothko

Anyone know who the support act is? I've been trying to find out but having no luck.

CiaranK

No support for the gig tonight. Cale on stage 8.45-10.30(ish)

CiaranK

New record very, very electronic. It's interesting. Haven't quite decided if I like it or not yet though.

Rothko

Just had a listen to the new album and i have to say I'm liking it. Scotland yard being one of the standout tracks for me. Anyway, can't wait for the gig, should be great.

bullpost

Not a great gig for me.

Didn't play anything from my favourite albums.

He seemed to just want to get through the set and get out of there. No encore.

Haven't seen him before so not sure if this is the norm.

Yeah, I was disappointed that there was no encore and he didn't play much of his older stuff. He played Gun at his last show and that's my favourite song of his so I was disappointed that he didn't play it last night. I still enjoyed it though.

CiaranK

I really enjoyed it. The new stuff worked very live. I think Cale is a genius. The sounds were so good. The drummer had lots to do setting off triggers all the time for different sounds to sweep across. It's hard to believe he is 70. You wouldn't think it when he is playing that strat last night. He was due to play Gun at the end according to the setlist. He seemed wrecked when he was walking off the stage. I just don't think he had it in him to do the extra song. Overall I thought it was a fantastic evening. Cale is somebody I've always wanted to see

Yeah, despite the disappointment, I definitely enjoyed it. The sound was great and the backing band were very good. It was definitely as good a show as you can expect from someone that's 70.

CiaranK

Just on another note, I think the photograph thing was way over the top. Someone takes one photo and security is over straight away. It'd be a different thing if someone was holding up a big SLR camera, flashing away all night, blocking peoples view. It was getting distracting having him having to push through the crowd all the time. With phones now it is a ridiculous to try and stop everyone taking photos. It's not like they would be sold on O'Connell bridge the way they might have been years ago.

bullpost

Didn't know that.

I was considering bringing a good camera in so happy now I didn't.
