    I was down on the floor, pretty central.

    It's a real pain when something likes this happens, I can't stand when a good gig is ruined by terrible sound!

    Maybe they improved the sound the second night, I thought it was ok.

    I like the Academy because it's a wide enough floor area that we can stand quite centrally between the two sets of speakers located either side of the stage.

    I find at gigs in any venue, if I stand too much to the left or right, of the stage, that the sound deteriorates and there's a less full sound.

    The Academy was absolutely jammed on Saturday night, moving wasn't really an option.

    Hopefully they did, Mark seemed a little put out by the fact that the crowd for the most part were not getting into it.

    Ah well, I'll catch him next time he is around!

    So did nobody go talk to him?
    Very cool that he hung around to chat to people and sign things!

    He signed at the merchandise stand on Sunday night, not too long after the gig ended, which was pretty cool!. Zander Schloss was nearby to sign stuff also!:)

    Mark Lanegan also signed after the gig in the Sugar Club in November 2013.

    I met him after the gig. My mam was meant to go to the gig, but she was sick. I said it to him, so he wrote a note for her
    'Sorry I missed you
    Get well soon
    Mark Lanegan'

    A nice touch from him.

    Where is the venue were you standing

    I find that the sound in the Academy is good further away from the stage, in front of the sound desk.

    Rule #1 of gigs. Always stand next to the sound deck for the best sound.

    A few people I know where positioned directly behind the sound engineer and also said the sound was pathetic!

    From their position the guitarist to Mark's right was non existent in the mix!

    A terribly poor night from the sound engineer! An ever increasing problem for live music these days I find!

    November 25th 2024 would have been Mark Lanegans 60th Birthday.


    Long shot question?? Who was at the August 24th 2010 acoustic show of Mark Lanegan and Dave Rosser at the Roisin Dubh in Galway?
    I have 17 recordings out of a 22 song set of that night. I was hoping to cobble them together and create a bootleg as a mark of respect to this legend and put it up on youtube. Possible title "Don't Forget Me Galway"
    Let me know if you have recordings of the gig or of the Dublin show on August 25th 2010 and want to contribute to the tribute. This is a fan made bootleg idea to mark the occasion.


    Missing Songs: 1. Field Song (first song), 12. The River Rise, 14. On Jesus' Program, 16. When Your Number Isn't Up, 19. Wild Flowers
    Will be releasing it with or without missing tracks, would still be nice to have a complete set. Also have a lot of the Dublin show recorded and will in time get that up on youtube.
