Tom Waits for Dublin (1 Viewer)

[Wobbler]

True but it was in a "sorrysorrysorryyoucantgetmadbecauseimsayingsorrysorry" kind of way.

Better then nothing.

pretty sure the park has strict noise rules, whole lot of animals there that dont react well to noise, and what if it caused a crazed stampeed with the deer? that would be kinda cool tho.

Arcade Fire were easily twice the volume of this gig in the same spot. It was very low.

I read this yesterday before the gig and fully agreed with you.
"Fuck all that shit, it won't matter, it's Tom Waits!" i thought.

But it did matter.

The performance was amazing.... totally incredible.
Great song choices too.
Hoist That Rag was gloriously brilliant, Lost In The Harbour was so beautiful, about half the songs off Bone Machine completely ingeniously reinvented, surprise appearances for title tracks off both Heart of Saturday Night and Blue Valentine... and all with such amazing charisma.
What a guy!

But the sound was so fucking poxy... like someone else was saying, this was without doubt the lowest volume gig i've ever been at.
I was sitting in the front row at D (the left side, close enough so i could see everything), but i had to keep straining forward to fully try and take it in.
They needed to have some speakers at the sides.
It sounded like i was standing outside the tent.

And on top of that, i was surrounded by cunts.
Singing-along-when-they-don't-know-the-words cunts, he's-done-10-songs-now-let's-chat-about-work cunts, walking-in-and-out-constantly cunts.
Why the hell did all these people pay €140 for that??

It would've been ok if i could have stood up and walked away, but with all seating you're just stuck there.

I think i hate big gigs

See. See now. This is the only thing stopping me from from completely losing my mind over missing this gig.

How was it by the way?

[ernesto]

heard the friday night sucked

 

[sweetoblivion]

two Spanish women were sitting behind me and the boyf (we were in the left hand section on the flat) and kept talking out loud during songs, I wanted to clatter them! then they'd yelp and shout in these piercing voices as well. Bints. I think Fionn Regan was sitting near me but I could be wrong. I think that John Kelly was there as well. Great gig but the volume was really low. What a man though, he was bloody hilarious too!

i don't think he was funny in the slightest... that was the biggest letdown of all... where was the man who recorded nighthawks at the diner?....

great show though... setlist was fantastic... where do i find it?

My highlights were Lost in the Harbour and the radically different version of Dirt in the Ground. Got right up the front for the encores and was great to see him up that close. excellent show but agree with some of the gripes that other people were having. Although that said I've been to gigs where the cunt ratio has been way higher (Tortoise two weeks ago being one example) and on the whole it was very well organised.

I missed Lost In The Harbour as I had to go for a pish.
My highlight was seeing Andy Reid there. Wow!
Nah...'Going Out West' was rapah.

Trappatoni is gonna find it very hard to drop him after this.

Quite a cultured chap, seemingly. I read somewhere that he visits museums and galleries regularly after training.

LOL.

I was tempted to tell him I didn't recognise him without a kebab in his face...but that would be downright rude. And untrue.

I could have sworn i saw Dean Kiely at a Boredoms gig last year.
