I've never saw him live, but I think I'd rather cut my knob off than watch a Michael Buble concert.

OldRio

I remember a good few years ago the wife persuaded me to buy tickets for a Dire Straits concert.
2 fecking hours of my life that woman owes me.
2 FECKING hours.

Was anyone here at that Cat Stevens concert in the 02 a few years back? You know the one where a heckler made headlines by shouting out "Play Peace Train You Fcuking Bollocks". Apparently he played all obscure and new material and even brought out special guest Ronan Keating at one stage who was met by a chorus of boos from the frustrated audience.

The only people who like Bruce Springsteen are culchie college students up in the 'big smoke' for a few years doing their degrees.

I can see them all now, jumping around some bar in the city centre at 2am, absolutely mangled drunk, thinking they're 'rocking out' to Bruce. Absolutely tragic stuff.

I wasn't expecting much. I didn't think he'd be that bad live. We only went because we were staying in the hotel. The first we knew about it was when every middle aged woman for miles around turned up.

No mentions for Daniel O'Donnell yet? I'd rather stab myself in the ear drums with 6" nails.

I'm very jealous you got to see Nico. She was a bit before my time (died the year before I was born) but I love her voice.

Never really went to a bad gig. Having seen Bruce Springsteen twice, you would have to be a deaf narcoleptic to have even a hope of falling asleep at one of his gigs.

jimboblep

Neil young was the worst i have ever been to half way through the gig everyone was just standing around chatting while he was playin a twenty minute solo
No talking to the crowd and did an encore of a beatles song
And no rockin in the free world

nlgbbbblth

1) The Pastels, Mean Fiddler, 1998
2) Sigur Ros, Electric Picnic
3) Cutting Crew, Bridge Hotel, 1988

Cienciano

I reckon Cliff Richard, Daniel O'Donnell and Ronan Keating would be hard to beat.

Balmed Out

Thought Oasis were very poor the first night they played Cork. I imagine they were hungover from the big knebworth concert.

Considering he's now called "Yusuf Islam" I wouldn't expect him to be wrecking the gaff like.

The Backwards Man

Meatloaf.

Listen to him on the wireless, don't waste your dough on a live show.

Utter b*llocks, myself and my buddies are council estate as they come and we went to the Boss in Páirc Uí Caoimh and it was absolutely f*cking mental carry on altogether.

I went to see Rod Stewart in Las Vegas and that was also unbelievable.

The best gig I was ever at was The Sawdoctors in Stamford Bridge.

Cliff Richard has his moments. Some diamonds among the rough.

The first live concert I ever went to was Neil Diamond in Landsdowne Road a few years back. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It helps when you know all the words.

The same for Rod Stewart when he played in Kilkenny.

You either have to be of the age or been inculcated into their music from an early age.

I can't think of many things worse than a mumford and sons concert. I'm still trying to work out if they're some sort of comedy act joke band

ericsinjun

Eagles, MEN Arena late 90's. Might as well have put on a cd.
Dylan Pearse Stadium. Disaster.

lost in cork

Stumbled upon a Katrina and the waves gig at a pub in London about 25 years ago ,shocking ,i still get nightmares about it
