    Add to that this tour so far he's only been playing about 13 songs with gigs lasting just over an hour, €60 is pushing it. With a new album coming out in Sept it could be different by the time of the gigs with some new songs. (Although it's not like he's short of songs at the minute)

    They'll be making about €1'620 per minute, over 75.5 grand is not bad for an hours work :p That's just some of the recent gigs though last years tour with the same band he was playing longer sets didn't come over here on that leg though apart from Electric Picnic.

    Last time he was here with the band of joy was a great show, it was 2 hours long. Looking forward to hearing the new album. The Space Shifters are and interesting band he's working with if you've not heard them yet.

    I saw him in the Olympia in 05 (I think) ... Mighty Rearranger Tour - great gig ... but I don't think I'll be rushing to this.

    Very good gig last, would see again for sure.

    The support band were pretty good too.

    He was excellent in Cork last night, but could've played a while longer.....hour and a half including encore. Was happy/surprised how much Zep stuff he did!;)

    great gig all round - wd have paid the admission alone for the first song - super version of Babe I'm gonna leave you with RP giving it loads on vocals and pulling off some classy moves

    the new ones he played for the new album sounded great

    heres the intro

    Great gig tonight. My gig of the year well worth every penny, with Peter Gabriel to come. Justin Adams is superb in that band.

    The Last Internationale, support band who were excellent.

    @Rednik, nice photos.
    The Olympia staff are normally overly strict regarding taking photos at the venue.

    I've seen this legend a few times now and he never fails to disappoint. I find it amazing how he's been able to reinvent himself while still harking back to his roots too.

    Loads of 'celebs' in the crowd: Dave Fanning, Larry Mullen, Marian Keyes!

    Drives me demented though when you meet aul lads after the gig and they're banging on about 'ah, it's not Led Zeppelin' and 'Good to see him but would be better if it was Zeppelin'.

    Led Zeppelin is over. Let the man move on. Great night. Love him!
