Gigs for 2024

I did! I'd even gone into the office so I'd be on time (a devout work from homer!). Plan was to get there for 6.15. Of course there's an issue in work so I end up not leaving til 620 and at that stage had resigned myself to not getting in. Got to the venue at 7.15 and headed in but there was a big queue of people for the merch - and I think a lot of people assuming it was the queue for the venue. So we just walked around it and straight in and got what looked like 2 of the last ones.

Fantastic night!

It would have been doable alright in my younger days. Enough people surfed over it no bother anyway.

Nada Surf were excellent in the Academy. Loads of power pop classics

I would have said Ennio Maraconi but he’s been dead for four years, bless him. Legend!

Ahhhh..

Very good .

Unreal gig, what a band they are. Was like 18 years since first time I saw them and they were better last night.

Just pure joy playing for their crowd, a different buzz at these size gigs.

And they played my favourite song The Plan! Great unplugged acoustic version of blizzard of '77 as well!

David Bowie 😢

How about Bucket List or one or two top pics ,(ie not a long list !) and the one that got away , like above ?

I saw Prince (or the Artist formerly known as , as he was then ) in Dublin in the Point Depot , 1995 , I think!

Saw Bowie in the Point on the realty tour. Was great to see him live. Never got to see Radiohead live for some reason.

Wow fabulous pictures Beasty !

It's good to have them to look back on and to remind you that "yeah I was there!" with some less memorable gigs

I know any gigs where I have pics I remember them better.

I am forgetting more these days than remembering which I find distressing 🙈

Think it's age related as most of my friends have similar

Wish I had kept ticket stubs of all the gigs .(.note to younger music heads )

@ irish aris I had to verify my memories of the Prince concert before posting with my oh .

Did a list on another thread and my oh had to fill in a lot of blanks and still I missed a few . ..he would now have difficulty with more recent memories !

Ah well at least we are still getting to go to concerts and make new memories.

You have an amazing repertoire ..keep on rocking !

Got both them lads (Prince twice), but sadly missed out on Nirvana in Belfast & I was a little late being a Smiths fan, so never got to see live…unless…..😉😂😁!!

Buster Bloodvessel, legend of our times. Waiting to go on stage. And the tongue I’d forgotten about the tongue.

As the crowd were mostly late 50/60 the mosh pit didn’t get going until the very last song. A mosh pit full of fear. I’d show you a video but I can’t at the moment……

Saw the Smiths once in Cork ..disastrous concert , very disappointing. They walked off after 45 mins because axxholes at front were firing stuff and hit Morrissey on the head.
