It’s packed here, don’t see too many empty seats

Only at the very very back there's two pockets of about 100 seats each in the gods, otherwise jammed alright!
Great stuff!

Crackin' set from Alison Moyet

Disappointed no 'situation' but grand set overall. Loved 'Only you'

Are the pints of Heino full ones ??. 0,4l on the pint glass. €6.5 a pop not cheap

Packed to the rafters here.

I came out of FOMO as I'm a vintage synth nut, bought ticket yesterday.

Had no idea they were this popular!

Doing an incredible "Creep" now

Very enjoyable gig at 3Arena, fairly similar to Killarney, and Woman In Chains added, plus maybe 1 more.

For me, standout track was Madmans World, which was outstanding,

Delighted they played WIC also. The backing singer wasn’t bad, just not an Oleta Adams.

I’d say it was more than 90% full, the upper extreme right and left sections were nearly empty,, but everywhere else was packed.

Great gig

Very good crowd, loved the hits not much crowd interaction but doesn't matter much

Mad world, women in chains and shout the standouts for me. So happy I went thanks ozzy lol

Moyet was pretty good too although i wasn't familer with some of her stuff. Hearing only you in person was amazing

I'm not sure if you mean Mad World or Bad Man's Song.

Snake Plisken · 01-02-2019 12:41am

Any interaction between Curt and Roland? Did they play Mothers Talk?

Ya got me, Bad Mans Song, went on for about 8 minutes, brilliant

Yeah. It was great in Killarney too. One of the highlights. Glad that tonight seems to have been a triumph.

Cracking gig from TFF and fantastic support from Alison Moyet, sound was perfect and the setlist was great. My first time seeing TFF live and they were brilliant, I did see Alison Moyet in the National Stadium in 1986.

Cuttlefish · 01-02-2019 1:12am

Agree fantastic all around

No they didn't play mother's talk or working hour two great songs

They did play head over heels and broken both brilliant. The band were great. The drumming on falling down was unreal.

Alison was brilliant and enjoyed her time in stage and enjoyed her set

Only issue and it bit of a big one is that it was 55 minutes before TFF took to stage after Alison had finished

Pretty goddamn great. From where I was standing I thought Roland had let himself go gray gracefully, but by those excellent photos above I can see he just had it tied up.

Badman's Song was so good though, holy smokes. And Advice for the young at heart too. Never seen a more friendly crowd either. Singing full blast to Seeds with randomers was worth every penny.

Aye, it was the whole beginning of the Seeds album complete with HOT JAZZ!

Great stuff

Tbh it would of been a bit of a balls of a show if the rumours about Curt not being on the tour we're true

The girl on Women on Chains was good voice wise (way way too far to get a good look ha) but I thought they would get Moyet out to do it she would of killed it

demanufactured · 01-02-2019 3:08am

Fooking awesome gig.

Spot on, they are both equally vital to TFF. It just would not work without both of them present.

The backing singer vocal volume was a little low, but a good effort, from what incould hear.

No unfortunately. Would have been great. Rest of the show was excellent though. My highlight was Sowing The Seeds, but all songs were very well done. Curt spoke more than Roly. Roly was unusually dismissive of the hits

Didn't Rolands wife pass away a few years ago ?? Possibly doesn't have the heart for it anymore

Brilliant gig was reluctant to go due to weather conditions but it worked out in the end. Sound was superb throughout, but drumming was exceptional during bad mans song which was extended, I actually stood up at the end it was that good, jazzy breaks, blues cords, and sultry backing vocals could listen all night. As others have said, a really nice crowd if a bit muted, and no problem with that, I wasn't expecting mosh pits.

They must take turns, because Roland spoke more in Killarney.

PTH2009 · 01-02-2019 2:04pm

People irritate me

Make sure your in the right damn seat

The amount of times people moved cause they sat in wrong row/section last night was amazing. Same of all gigs ðŸ˜–ðŸ˜–

tamara25 · 01-02-2019 10:13pm

Everybody wants to rule the world was the opening hit, absolutely brilliant! Yes Curt engaged with crowd a lot more, I read that Roland was devastated when his wife of 35 years passed away last year. It has to still be very raw for him.. haven’t they a new album in pipeline? Shout was a brilliant choice to finish the night with! TFF take a bow, ye put on a cracking show.

I loved every moment of it. Alison Moyet was brill - and TFF just incredible. My only disappointment was that they didn't have close ups on side screens - so you couldn't see facial expressions up high where we were. But there was a wonderful ambiance and people sitting behind us a gang of 6 were such fun - that's the best thing about these 80s come back tours - those in attendance - like minded people all taking that same journey down Memory Lane. When TTF sang Pale Shelter, Mad World and my favourite Memories Fade - ahhh I was just in heaven - same goes for Alison Moyet with All Cried Out and Love Resurrection - I left there on a total high. Thank you XXX
