Who's going?

Kiera · 01-09-2009 03:21PM

I'd love to but its on a Monday

rannerap · 02-09-2009 11:07AM

i think il get a ticket,seen him when he played here in the phoenix park and he was pretty good!

02-09-2009 11:17AM

Count me in.

I doubt I do Dublin, Monday:eek:.

Killarney would be good if I could get a few together (which shouldn't be difficult).

Seen him in the park also, and Dublin Castle (which was class in the rain), Brighton, and many others though I think that tour he did here 4 or 5 years ago was brill, caught him in Dorans in Limerick, a great venue and a great gig, so intimate.

great gig in Dolans that time and the man himself mingled with the good people of limerick in the bar beside the venue beforehand...

Standard Toaster · 04-09-2009 02:51PM

Picked up me standing tickets today

RodVelvet · 07-09-2009 01:05AM

Standing tickets for the olympia, am really looking forward to this!

L.S.F · 09-09-2009 01:06AM

Seen him in Pheonix Park & Oxegen the other year, would love to see him live again. If I can get tickets closer to the date I'll deffo go to the Olympia!

Standard Toaster · 12-10-2009 02:36PM

Hey,

I should prob create a seperate thread for this?
Can anyone suggest somewhere open late in town after the Monday gig?
The later the better. Am I right in saying most places close at 1am on Monday?
I was thinking Solas or Dicey's beer garden afterwards.

Cheers

TestTransmission · 12-10-2009 04:43PM

I've 2 spare tickets for the killarney gig,anyone interested?Let me know

Yellowledbetter · 14-10-2009 06:50PM

Does Whelans And The Village not open late that night?
Myself and the GF are booked into Jurys that night so Residents bar if all else fails.
I hope he is on form that night coz Ive seen him 4or5 times now and only twice that I can remember was he truly brilliant. Loving the new album too and I reckon we'll get treated to a nice few Roses tunes too.
Maybe a meet up could be sorted for the gig

Standard Toaster · 22-10-2009 01:22PM

Yeap they prob open till 1am too. I was thinking Solas meself. We'll see what she fancies. She's listening to the Roses herself now in anticipation he'll play a few. Hurry up November!

contraflow · 24-11-2009 06:07PM

Was anyone at the Olympia last night?? Can you post a quick review i.e. what tunes did he play? The new album, some older classics of his own and a few Roses classics I hope. Off to tonight's performance with my burd, haven't seen the great man since Witness 2003 so looking forward to it.

24-11-2009 06:29PM

Yeah a review would be nice.

I'm going myself on friday to see him in killarney.

Can't wait.

tony1kenobi · 24-11-2009 08:17PM

I reckon you're already outside the venue now but how and ever...

...he opened with love like a fountain and in no particular order played.....longsight,FEAR,corpses,all ablaze,stellify,my way,keep what you got,time is my everything,golden gaze,just like you,vanity kills,marathon man....I think he played sister rose and I am sure there were a few more but my memory is..ahem...hazy......oh and he did one cover.....fools gold.

His voice went after about 4 songs....one or two songs he did perfectly in tune with himself but in a different key to the music which was impressive!!

But everyone knows that about Brown anyway......he was brilliant,in flying form and entertained from start to finish......he even told a joke......but I won't try to repeat it...you had to be there.

contraflow · 25-11-2009 03:04PM

He pretty much stuck to the same song list from Monday then. His voice didn't project very well, but nothing new there I suppose, I thought the sound engineer could have upped his mike volume a bit. It's only a minor criticism though, I thoroughly enjoyed the show, his stage presence is second to none and when combined with the great tunes and lyrics, it’s a winning formula. Hopefully he will play at the weekend next time.

Was the joke he cracked on Monday: “did anyone here buy my new album or did you just download it off the internet?”

I laughed and stared at my runners in case the great man caught my guilty grin and decided to demonstrate his karate skills.:eek:

tony1kenobi · 26-11-2009 01:09AM

No .....that wasn't the joke.

vixenbees · 26-11-2009 12:43PM

I got a quick clip of Stellify...a little blurry at the start but the lights and atmosphere is great

vixenbees · 26-11-2009 02:43PM

Thanks! I got a minute of F.E.A.R. and Fools Gold as well, I must throw em up.

keryl · 26-11-2009 05:25PM

Does anyone know what time he usually gets up on stage. His gig tonight kicks off at 8, some friends won't be there till 9...

It was around 9 but probably a bit after 9 that he came on stage on tues nite. I wasn't paying much attention to the time tho... so I could be wrong. But I reckon if your friends are in by 9 they will catch the whole show.

vixenbees · 26-11-2009 06:28PM

he started around 9:15 on monday night so you should be fine.

mikekerry · 30-11-2009 10:47AM

i saw him in killarney friday nite, he was in top form.
great gig,hi had a pretty good band with him also.
a few more than he normally has.
he finished the set with stellify, the place was rocking
