    Would be nice if Meatloaf played a gig but it looks unlikely now.

    ZZ-Top are great. Sting is great but really overpriced

    Didn't she recently postpone two Irish gigs from March to October due to "finishing her new album" and they couldn't be done sooner than October because she was supposedly very busy ? Seems odd.

    ah feck, don't tell me that! I have a spare standing ticket I've been meaning to put up on toutless but never got around to it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Has anyone sold out yet for here?

    I have heard and seen ads for many acts ticket sales still

    Take heart, it's sold out again. Someone just posted on Toutless too, looking for a spare ticket.

    Has the support for ZZ Top been announced yet?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,453 ✭✭✭blastman


    How easy is the venue to get to and get parked near, for someone driving down on the day and who doesn't really know Cork that well to drive around? :)

    Loads of free parking down the quays .
    I usually park about 10-15 minutes away and walk down but last year I parked a few minutes away and had no traffic issues afterwards.

    Elton John is playing Sunday night.
    Really looking forward to seeing him live,he always puts on a great show and the recent setlists have been superb,25 songs ,2 and a half hours .

    Support for Coronas tonight anyone know?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,715 ✭✭✭Zardoz


    Good show by Elton John tonight .

    That was his third night on the trot,one in France,one in Denmark and Cork tonight.6 gigs in 7 days .
    His voice was a bit raw at times after such a hectic schedule but still ok.

    The setlist was one of the strongest he has played in along time ,all the classics .
    The sound mix was very poor though ,way too much bass, I thought my ears were going to explode at times ,the bass was vicious ,worst I have heard in years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,513 ✭✭✭run_Forrest_run


    how much are they charging for beer, same as last few years (was that €5)?
    Is it a Guinness/Carlsberg bar still?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,267 ✭✭✭✭GavRedKing


    Gotta agree, seen Elton down there 2 years ago and this years show was an improvement on that all round, he was much more energetic and up for it last night then he was the last time.

    Also, the drink is still the same price, everything is 5 quid down there.

    I thought the show 2 years ago was better ,the sound was much superior .
    I was up near the front both times but had no ear ache the last time .
    He was well up for it in 2011 too ,didnt see much difference this time ,he is a pro.
    Definitely a better setlist this time though as no new album to promote.

    He seems to genuinely like playing the Marquee ,its a great venue.
    He has some stamina for his age .

    The crowd was more intense two years ago. I remember sweating buckets and asking the security guy for water. Hardly broke a sweat this time.

    It was a brilliant concert though. His voice is surprisingly good for the amount of shows he has done! Had a great view down in front of the piano.

    I didn't notice the stage being higher to be honest.

    There was a Spanish fella and a French fella to my left and a woman from Texas behind me. We queued with a Danish guy we knew as an Elton fan on Facebook and there was a good few English people queueing early too. Very international crowd!

    Very cosmopolitan crowd ,Spanish guy on my left and Japanese guy on my right .
    Great to see such a wide age range at a gig ,anyone from 12-70.
