for what it's worth the worst gig of the year

U2 1st night in Croke park - absolutely dreadful.

Out of curiosity what didn't you like about it?

Aridstarling · 22-12-2009 01:44AM

Lets see...

Grizzly Bear at Vicar St
Cloud Castle Lake at a house party off Harcourt St.
Howl at Knockanstockan
Lisa Hannigan at Vicar St
Cymbals Eat Guitars at Crawdaddy

That would probably do it, I cant really remember much more. I've been to a lot of gigs this year and its all a little crowded in my head. For instance, can't really remember anything about EP, I know there was something quite special there.

Just remembered it was Fleet Foxes and The Flaming Lips. They were pretty epic too. Fleet Foxes would probably take the fifth slot there, maybe over Cymbals Eat Guitars. The XX too, damn good. Leonard Cohen at the Point was a pretty special night too. Been a good year!

Nightwish · 22-12-2009 01:54AM

1. Nightwish - Brixton Academy, London
2. Epica - Paradiso, Amsterdam
3. Diablo Swing Orchestra - Purple Turtle, Camden
4. Nightwish - Hartwall Areena, Helsinki

Didnt make it to my 5th concert as something else came up. None of the shows I went to were disappointing in anyway. Only confirmed gig for next year so far...I better do something about that!
