Thousands!

Ro: maaan! · 17-07-2005 02:47PM

Eh... Any idea how many thousand?

moshpit77 · 17-07-2005 04:40PM

it was a 30,000 sellout

susanna · 17-07-2005 04:47PM

I thought Marlay's capacity was 17,000....

pigeonbutler · 17-07-2005 05:27PM

Deffo more than 17000 there.

spartacus93 · 17-07-2005 06:06PM

And there were about how many girls...

Anyway, was anyone else pi55ed at it finishing at 10:15pm?? Bit early I thought! I know there is some time restraint due to the location, but Gawd...they could have gone on a little longer! But other than that, I thought it was a good gig!

susanna · 17-07-2005 10:31PM

They played for an hour and a half though, which is pretty much standard

Shane Smith · 18-07-2005 12:36AM

I hear Marley only holds 16,000....

arbeitsscheuer · 18-07-2005 12:50AM

What was their set like?
I mean, did they play the good stuff (ie, from Definitely Maybe, Morning Glory and Masterplan) or was it mostly the new album and newer (ie rubbisher) stuff?

Cos I loved Oasis back in the day, got to see em when I was just 10 at the Point in 95, and I figure I should go and see em a decade on, for the hell of it. But... I've heard the new album, and, Importance of Being Idle aside, it's totally naff.

So, u ppl saw em at Marlay Park. Were they great, or far from great?

pajodublin · 18-07-2005 05:17AM

There were 28,700 there, official source compared to 18,000 at coldplay.
I thought the coldplay gig was good til i seen this, oasis never disappoint when it comes to gigs. cant believe what im readin, tickets on sale 23/07/05.
I'll be there

digiman · 18-07-2005 10:07AM

I thought it was a brilliant concert. Thought it was better than u2, but there are a few reasons for that:
Sound was excellent,
I was standing,
Close to the stage,
I like oasis more than u2,
They played about 5 or 6 of their new songs, 4 from Whats the Story, around 3 or 4 from Definitely Maybe and a few from their middle albums and finished with My Generation.
There were so many other class songs that they didn't play like Roll with it, Shes
Electric, The Masterplan and a few more.
Overall absouletly brilliant concert.

I thought they were absolutly brilliant and everyone around me seemed to really enjoy it. One of the highlights was when they started playing Live Forever the whole crowd sung the song up to the chorus. The band just playing the drum beat and stood there watching us all sing!

Turn Up The Sun
Lyla
Bring it on Down
Morning Glory
Cigarettes & Alcohol
Importance of Being Idle
Little by Little
A Bell Will Ring
Acquiesce
Songbird
Live Forever

Wonderwall
Champagne Supernove
Rock 'N' Roll Star

I agree, I was at U2 also and the sound was fúcking rubbish. Oasis were a lot better.

HelterSkelter · 18-07-2005 10:54AM

Did anyone use the free jump over the wall method to get in? I had a few friends with no tickets and there was nobody outside selling tickets at all.

soph · 18-07-2005 11:02AM

id a spare ticket, and somehow sold it to a man on cruthes with only 1 leg !!! hmmm suss !!!

that guy is a well known tout....

It was a great gig though. That was my first Marlay Park experience. Excellent venue...

Oasis were really good. I've seen them countless times at this stage and this was an excellent performance from them. There didn't seem to be too much crowd interaction from them, like back in the old days, but they are a solid act...

I'll definitely be trying to get my hands on some tickets for the point gig

Don't think I've ever seen so many headers in the one place in my life. Was good craic though. Someone started throwing the plastic pint glasses half full of beer, so this sort of caught on and everyone was at it for a while. Looked like fun untill I got a splash of it.

I though Rock n Roll Star was really good, they had the screens displaying ROCK, ROLL, STAR which was pretty cool.

The only bad thing I would say was that the transport out of Marley Park was a joke. Had to walk until South Circular Road (I think) before I was able to get a taxi. Every bus was full, you would think they could have put on enough, seeing as there were over 20,000 at it.
I think its a bit soon to go see them again in The Point in 5 months but I wouldn't rule it out. It will be more or less the same show again. Any idea on the price of tickets?

Shane Smith · 18-07-2005 01:44PM

its official, 22,000 @ Marley (I stand corrected:o)

Saw the lads and their posse yesterday at the airport and fair play to Liam, he stopped and talked with people, shook their hands and let them take pictures with him.

Although he does walk rather strange!! :rolleyes:

Same as me it was such a pain the ass

I thought Oasis were class though. When we were walking in the gates we got dragged aside by some security guard started asking us qts and then said here you go as he proceeded to put pit bands on our arms this was at bout qtr past 7. We ended up 2 rows from the stage.

I thought Live Forever, Rock & Roll Star and the Importance of being Idle were the best songs(i think that was the one when they had all the quotes on the screen's like "it is better to have loafed and lost than to not have loafed at all" (thought they were funny)).

Did anyone else up the front think the security were very heavy handed. One of them just kept reefing people out from the crowd into the gap between it and the pit and gave then a few digs for crowd surfing.

whiskeyman · 18-07-2005 02:53PM

I guess for transport out, it just depends on how well you know the area.
The smart ones walked a little bit up the road to catch the buses earlier on....before they hit the crowds waiting outside the park (fools!).

Dub bus ran their usual special buses - I think at €10? Bit of a joke if you knew the local buses...

Parking shouldnt have been a prob for anyone driving.

And there was also the Luas - just a 15/20 min walk over to Balally... it ran every 15mins into town.

I actually think its one of the best venues for transport....... well, I would say that living 15mins away

RedorDead · 18-07-2005 03:51PM

Thought the band were excellent. Great gig. But ive never seen such a collection of scangers knackers and general lowlifes at a gig though in my life.

Crime figures in dublin must have halved between the hours of 4 and 10.

Four guys in front of me in Celtic Jerseys (WTF??) openly snorted lines of coke in front of everyone, also made no effort to piss in the toilets but on the grass in front of everyone.

God fooking help anyone going to the Eminem gig. I can only imagine how bad it will be with 100,000 of them.

Did on eof the guys have short reddish hair. Coz their was one guy with Celtic jersey doing the extact same thing at the U2 gig. Talk about Scum!

Third_Echelon · 18-07-2005 04:04PM

Yeah the pikey content was pretty high alright...

There were a few guys in front of us with a Northern Ireland flag (st georges cross with the red hand of ulster).. They were waving it about etc. Couple of lads in front of us decided to go down to them, pull if off them and burn the flag... rather entertaining :eek:
