Gig Regrets

PTH2009

Is there any past gig you regret not going too ??

I regret not going to Pearl Jam when they played here in 2010

Green Day in 2017 in Kilmainham esp after what's after happening in regards this year

Any of the Metallica shows here in the early 2000s. Belfast in 2010 another one cause they had Volbeat as support

Although they didn't play much here and the tragic death of O Riordan. I would of loved to see The Cranberries live. There show in the BGE in 2017 really went under the radar and wasant published much to my memory

He actually played a free gig on College Green in 1994 and it was glorious summer evening and a wonderful show. Actually Rory Gallagher did a free gig the year before there and I didn't go.

The Temple Bar Blues Festival if I remember correctly. The BB King gig was amazing, but like you I missed the Rory Gallagher one the year before. What makes it worse is that I was in a pub about a mile away and could have wandered on down but never did. I think Robert Cray also played a free gig as part of the festival one year.

James Brown at Oxegen, he died shortly after, cant remember the year but it was the main stage after the headliners

Maybe I'm getting years mixed up but memory tells me he was in a tent.

PTH2009

The RDS for such a rundown place has played host to many top artists down through the years and the horse show is world famous. Saw Bon Jovi x2, Foo Fighters and Bruce Springsteen there. The Food/drink areas are grand esp on a warm day but not a fan of the Anglesea stand for concerts. Its in a fairly bad condition

Remember Won tickets to the Linkin Park gig there but found out to late and could not go

:(. Killer lineup with Queens of the stone age and Coheed & Cambria supporting.

:(

What happend to the Ammbassator Theatre hosting concerts ??

One gig I would of loving to see was Simon & Garfunkel supported by The Everly Brothers in the RDS in 2004. Anyone at that gig ??.

I was at that. Would’ve been great if it wasn’t for all the D4 knobs at the show. It was a really weird experience. FOH sound was relatively low. Kinda what you’d expect from a theatre show, which meant the bulk of the audio experience was hearing all the Jeremys waffling away as if they were in the bar in Kielys.

Not any one particular gig but I really regret not going to see Leonard Cohen any of the many times he was over here.

The gigs he did in the Point were excellent but the gig in Kilmainham was extraordinary.
I never saw a crowd reaction like it, people were in awe of him.

I regret being to young to see all the metal gigs in the Top hat circa 88-90

Saw Metallica/Danzig, Death/Kreator, Faith No More, Suicidal Tendencies/M.O.D, Sepultura and Anthrax there in those two years. Loved going out to that place.

Nirvana ?? Or did they play ??

They supported Sonic Youth in 1991. Apparently the audience just stood there with their jaws open.

The first one off the top of my head was at Oxegen 2007 choosing The Killers over Daft Punk, to this day i have never forgiven myself

The only time I was grateful for noise bleed, myself and a mate were waiting for the killers to take the stage and could hear Daft punk starting off with robot rock and decided to head over. They were feckin mind boggling good

Looking back on it now, the SFX was an unbelievable venue for rock and metal back in the 80's.
The amount of US bands that stopped off there on their way to the UK.....
Seeing Metallica with Cliff on bass a couple of weeks before he died was a highlight.

Was there too. Anthrax playing support. Some amount of gigs there alright.

Saw Metallica there in 88 and Faith No More in 90. Both fantastic gigs.

FNM came on at some mad hour (near 11PM or something) because they had to do a last minute top of the pops recoding before flying over for the gig.

great time to be alive

My brother and best friend asked me to go the Concert for George in the RAH in 2002 and I declined, to this day I regret saying no and watching the concert regularly rubs it in even more. Great lineup on the night and some of the stars on stage have since passed away.

Guns and Roses in Slane in 1992. It was a toss up between this and the Trinity Ball. I choose badly :mad:

Gary Moore and his One Night In Dublin tribute to Phil in 2005. I never even knew it was on until I seen it broadcast on TV years later. I was a huge Gary Moore fan and don't know how I missed this.

Paul McCartney in the Point in December 2009. Myself and the wife were on the way up to Dublin but had to turn back because of the severe weather (ice and snow). I still regret it.

I regret never seeing Phil Lynott at any stage, I am a couple of years too young :cool:

Oxegen 05, went to see foo fighters instead of James brown, foos were great and all, but I regret that decision way more than I should.

The tent was packed for that one. Had to watch it through the gap from outside. If it helps you any, he had a fella hitting most of the high notes for him. Given his age that was no surprise. He still had the charisma though. Like a lot of the old timers, even when past their best, they're supported by the best session musicians in the business so you're still guaranteed a top show.

Wooderson

2003 was some year. McCartney, Springsteen in the space of 4 days in May. Springsteen still lives long in the memory. Slane in August had one of their strongest ever line ups - Chilis/Foos/QOTSA/PJ Harvey. Then the Stones and Bowie in the Autumn?

Mad, Ted.

My biggest regret is missing the Foo Fighters in the Olympia on the TTILTL tour. I had just started a new job and was told there was a 50% chance I'd be working away when it was on so I didn't buy a ticket. And of course that trip never materialised so I was around that night but couldn't get a ticket at that stage.

I was at that myself - only song i knew was Breakout at the time.

Prince at Malahide Castle. I couldn't get the day off work. I should have called in sick. What a huge mistake on my part.

David Berman played in Galway a few years back. I hadn't heard of him at the time, so I didn't bother going.

John Grant, also playing in Galway, back just around the time Queen of Denmark was released. I've seen him since, but I would have loved to have seen him in such an intimate space, just as he was about to blow up and he was still an unknown quantity.

Drake last March.

I'm sure he'll be back though

I saw his last 4 gigs at 3 arena, that last was best since 2012 one and arguably better than that.

He seems to be back every second March.
