It's there best album by a mile. Still, not overly pushed on this format. Paint by numbers.

They'll play tracks that have never been heard live.

It'll be like the JFPL touur in 2009 - first half will be the album in full, second half will be a 15 song greatest hits set.

Week before Xmas- I'm sold!

I'm not complaining. I remember seeing them at Feile in Tipperary. I was at the front and hated them. They blew me away that day, instant fan.

Oh before.

Saw them doing the same thing in the Olympia for Journal For Plague Lovers when it first came out and it was excellent... so expecting nothing short of greatness for this. Can't wait.

The Intense Humming of Evil... that should be fun!

PCP live makes me wet

Holy sh*tballs - JUST THINKING ABOUT IT

Stretchryan · 24-09-2014 01:26PM

Will be coming home for this - seen them in Luxembourg and they restored my faith in them.

Last few times i seen them before lux was at european festivals and was very disappointed.

To be expected at European festivals.

This one though, in the intimate surroundings of the Olympia, will be one for the fanatics

Stretchryan · 24-09-2014 01:38PM

Reminder just put in calendar at work and moved a meeting so can get tickets. Aint missing this

The Wild Bunch · 24-09-2014 01:43PM

Just picturing the opening riff of 'Yes' and everyone going crazy makes me sooo excited

Stretchryan · 24-09-2014 02:40PM

Flights booked - sweet

The Wild Bunch · 24-09-2014 03:07PM

Saturday night too so no shortage of places to go in Dublin after the gig

BPKS · 24-09-2014 08:12PM

If I want to get standing tickets for this I assume I better get in their quick sharp on Friday morning?

Yep I'd expect them to go immediately

Stretchryan · 25-09-2014 08:14AM

Yeah would expect the standing tickets to sell out immediately too. Have moved a meeting here so i can be online to get them tomorrow morning

The Wild Bunch · 25-09-2014 08:42AM

How much we expected them to be?

The Wild Bunch · 25-09-2014 08:43AM

Scratch that €39.50 standing - €44.05 sitting

Eggonyerface · 25-09-2014 10:14AM

Is there any info on a presale?

Wow...thanks for that!

Stretchryan · 25-09-2014 11:44AM

Was there too - sound engineer having a mare there. Had Richey as lead guitar

savemejebus · 25-09-2014 12:04PM

Ha ha, yeah that happened a bit at festivals i think, heard some brutal examples of it before.

This vid is probably more appropriate for a Holy Bible gig thread though

What a f*cking band

I would love to go to this but NONE of my friends like them - I'm half thinking of just going anyway by myself - would that be weird?

It would be stranger if thats the reason you wouldn't go.

Been to loads of festivals and gigs on my own and always meet like minded people. Dont regret not going.
