    All I could think was the daughter is being paid millions per show and it’s a way of avoiding inheritance tax or something. Awful song, awfully out of depth

    Millions per show?! Wise up.

    Christ almighty - so the taxpayer is on the hook to subsidise rugger heads, gig heads and horsey heads? Why the hell should the taxpayer be paying for this, while the artists and players involved take huge wads of cash out of every event?

    It was amazing. Loved every second. Although I love Everlong, it made me a teeny bit sad that it was all over. Loved it.

    Glad you all enjoyed it. Apart from the Pretender and Best of You, were any other songs dragged out? I presume My Hero was too.

    Terrific show, much preferred it to the Slane set. Seemed to flow a lot better IMO
    Some songs elongated, but not necessarily a bad thing,

    Really enjoyed Dirty Water as a song, but would have put it before Best of You instead of after, as the only nit-pick

    Fantastic gig - enjoyed that nearly too much! Fortunate to get Pitch 1 tickets, will always ensure I get them for future gigs - plenty of space and terrific atmosphere, everyone on top form!

    That band are superb live, 2.5 hours of non-stop hard rocking without a break, a few drawn out tracks for sure but gave me a chance to grab a beer, he's some performer. Sound, set list, atmosphere all top notch. Thought the rain only added to the atmosphere as well, great to have a fairly dark evening from the get go to get the proper light show etc. Loved it!

    I thought the Frank Carter chap was good too, he looks like some scrote but won me over with a great voice, good tunes and a real proper front man - himself and guitarist playing in the crowd was great stuff!

    Really enjoyed it, what a showman. third time I've seen them and they always give it 100%, would have loved to hear them play some Thin Lizzy. Or Tin Lizzy as Taylor seemed to think they were called!
    pitch 1 was great, plenty of room and great view. Was easy get in and out to bar/toilet as well.

    I managed to get free tickets to this so decided to pop along. Haven't seen them since 2007 when they played Marlay Park (and tbh I was mainly at that gig to see Nine Inch Nails)

    What a show! Even with the insane downpours and no Thin Lizzy, still had an absolute blast.

    Pitch 1 is indeed great, was right up the front with absolutely loads of space. Really easy to stroll in and out from the bar.

    Third time seeing them - loved it. Same old spiel from Dave - "we're gonna play all night" but the music speaks for itself.

    It was loud!!

    My hero was unbelievable, gave me goosebumps.
    Loved Wheels.
    I think they dragged the ar$e out of a couple too many songs but great nonetheless.

    Pitch 1 is brilliant. Close no matter where you are! The crowd around me were the best I've seen in a long time. All happy to be there, all seem like proper fans, no insta crew, minimal phone use. Means you're not distracted or getting annoyed with people and as much as I try for things like that not to bother me, it always does! So was very happy.

    Agree with the above - Dirty Water had no place being played where it was.

    Great gig. Dave is a showman.

    Slane was better but still an awesome gig. They got me with that Sunday Bloody Sunday tease, the 'teen spirit one too...

    Really enjoyed the whole thing - such a great show and so many nice people around!!

    We had changed to seating at the last minute as my sister was under the weather but really wanted to make it. It was great idea as we were nice and dry and got cracking seats! Must admit I did find the crowd sitting a little sedate at times and was itching to be on feet more but didn't want to upset anyone behind me!

    (as a sidenote if you're ever not happy with your tickets I would always recommend calling Ticketmaster a day or two before the gig, this is the third time I've done it and it's always worked out well)

    I assumed that was an localisation of the pronunciation. Accurate too! Dave used the "lie-not" version of Lynott favoured by the man himself rather than "lynn-ot" that most of us use. Good local knowledge. What was the story with the tiny kids on the edge of the stage with the other gang of people at the beginning of the gig?

    I was fascinated by this - there were a couple of babies there and one of them sat through most of the gig, he was rocking out at times too with his headphones on - class!!

    Good gig. Dirty Water felt awfully out of place at the end. Killed the crowd somewhat.

    I liked Dirty Water, would have liked them to play more new or less well known stuff as well as the big hits. I guess the big hits are the crowd pleasers though. Great gig.

    It's not the song, it's the placement. Putting it right at the end of Best Of You after saying they were done with the slower songs was a bit of a downer.

    I meant the top he had on, had it spelt "Tin Lizzy" on the back

    Yeah, he spelled it like it's said, rather than how it's spelled.
