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

Prince in Malahide Castle 2011. F**kin raged about it. My justification was that 100eu was way too expensive which it seemed at the time. Even writing this annoys me

100 was dear then and is now!!

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.

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.

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.

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

Bb king London, shortly before he died, was just shy of buying a ticket

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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 ??

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.

He played 05 as second stage headliner, then played 06 as the main stage closer (first couple of years they'd put someone on after the main act on Saturday to stagger the crowd)

AC/DC 1979 Dublin ( Bon Scott RIP) one of my biggest regets ever young and foolish :mad:

Prince in Budapest in 2011. Was there the whole week before and after as well..

Nine Inch Nails in the Royal Albert Hall, London a couple of years ago. I had tickets but couldn't find anyone to go with so flogged them and gave it a miss. I knew I was doing the wrong thing even as I was doing it.

That's gas - I think I was only up the road in a pub in Dame Street myself.

2008 and I don't. NIN were on at roughly the same time. Possibly the best gig I was ever at.

Can't believe you passed up a once in a lifetime chance to see him, considering he died in 2006.....And NIN were 09

ONly thing I kind of regret right now, is not having seen Motorhead live while i had plenty of chances to. They were usually on the bill in Donnington whenever I was over, but was checking out other bands at the time.

I was working at it for packing the stuff away after. Was very odd to see them enter and leave seperately.
