    Agreed, I have travelled to see Kenny Wayne Shepherd as well, don't know why promoters never try to bring them here.

    He attracts a certain kind of knob... the sort who go to about two gigs a year, absolutely mashed by the time he comes on, end up smacking into people and wanting to fight you when you object to you and your other half nearly being shouldered onto the floor....

    I saw Oasis here back in the day a few times and as good as they were that sort of fan was always a negative to the whole experience.

    Strangely saw them in Paris back in ‘02 and the crowd was extremely diverse...old punks, skater kids, middle aged rockers, all enthusiastic, happy and up for it... I like LG but not so much the circus.

    They are an unusual band that attract people from all areas of society. I notice that the millenial hipsters love Oasis too, the types born in 1999 with floppy hair cuts and tight shirts, young women love him and Oasis too. They are very closely linked with 1990s nostalgia and that is why young millennials love them, millenials are obsessed with the 1990s. It is the same reason why they also are obsessed with the TV show Friends, they have all these gatherings for fans of that show nowadays in London for millenials to attend.

    Oh come on.

    That sounds just like the crowd that followed them in 94-96 when I was 17/18- took themselves awfully serious, the big LG hair and general pissed off looking all the time. I did the Leaving in 1996 and the results came out the same day Oasis played in Cork so I was there maaaan and I can think of at least 1/2 my LC class that followed that trend...and the whole Blur v Oasis nonsense.

    ps I was not into Oasis (I didn't dislike them but I was into Black Sabbath at that time)

    You seem to discuss millenials as if you aren't one yourself.

    Big fan of Blur and Gorillaz too but that show blew both of them away. Damon was having the time of his life.

    Sleaford Mods - Academy
    Probably just a routine set for them but it was a 60 minute indoor explosion of energy.

    Kamasi Washington - Olympia
    Just glorious, my brother has been calling me a jazz wánker for the last 15 years but I'm not the only one.

    Durand Jones & The Indications - Whelans
    Re-imagined 60's/70's soul and funk originals by as good musicians as you will see.

    Dry Cleaning - Workmans Club
    A midnight show and their first outside the UK. Probably about 70 people at it and it was a bit special and flawless.

    Bjork - 3Arena
    It was completely mental. This could be the future for those who can afford to put on such a production if they have the imagination.

    Some of the other better ones were Ronnie Spektor (NCH), Ennio Morricone (3Arena), Hot 8 Brass Band (Button Factory), New Order (Trinity) and I enjoyed my weekend at Slane seeing Metallica. They've come a long way from the Top Hat.

    Looking forward to Fontaines DC tomorrow.

    Public Service Broadcasting were brilliant in the Olympia! M
    May have permanently damaged the hearing in my left ear. Had an ear infection but got to close to the speakers.
    Ear was ringing for days after. Had a medical a month later, told my left ear had the hearing of a sixty year old.
    I’m only half that


    The Cure in Malahide were good too.

    Gig of the year forum just turns into people naming every gig they were at in 2019.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 953 ✭✭✭Neames


    The Cure - Malahide Castle

    Super gig, still a great Live Act with a back catalogue going back 40 years.

    Not me....I was at 2 gigs and only named one!

    Shout out for Robert Forster at the Button Factory. Something more low key, befitting my advancing years. A deeply satisfying evening.


  • Registered Users Posts: 201 ✭✭selassie


    1. IDLES - iveagh gardens
    2. Denzel Curry - the helix
    3. The Chats - academy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 406 ✭✭sabrewulf


    Garbage at Iveagh Gardens was my favorite, however, the joy in my daughter's face during the Ariana Grande gig made it a close runner up.

    Sharon Van Etten was definitely up there!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,883 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Underwhelming gig of the year for me would have to go to Bon Jovi in the RDS. They weren't all bad but Jon's voice is not what it used to be. Maniacs were great as support although the sound issues took away from it a bit

    Stiff Little Fingers at slane was just a mess by MCD and really didnt suite the day imo. A lot of it was to do with the timing. They should of been on after Fangclub and not 3rd before Ghost
