Checked the website earlier, it said tickets available at the door. Has that changed?

Yep, saw that myself. Has since changed.

bradlente

The doors on the site say 7.30-11 and the time on my ticket is 8.Never been in there before but I imagine the start times close enough to 8,Maybe 8.30?Just a guess though.

RayCon

7.30pm - 11pm is a bit vague alright ... planning on getting there about 8.30pm myself - should be a safe bet

B*llocks.

Thought i'd be out of the country today, gambled they'd still be available if I ended up not going.

F*ck it, anyway.

Sorry to hear that .... but t'was a good gig. Lots of shredding and humour, Marco doing his "Animal" impression, squeaky toys and rubber chickens. That was before each of the guys sank a pint of Guinness between songs. We also learned the stories behind tracks such as "Ohhhh Noooo" and "Gaping Head Wound". :eek:

RayCon

Well that was a bit good.

They call it the Loft, but it's actually a Shed. I don't think it actually has acoustics e.g. half of Bryan's bass notes were booming, the other half went through the roof and out.

bradlente

I thought the sound was alright some of that probably comes down to the musicianship of the three though.

They got a great turnout and were absolutely superb (as usual). Nice Neil Peart tribute too ... :cool:
