did we come to a consensus on this? I'd like to know what my opinion is before I go to lunch in case I should meet someone there who was also at it.

so if you could give me my opinion soon that'd be great, thanks.

You liked it, BUT

• The Whelan's show was way better
• They played too much stuff from MPP
• The johnny-come-lately fans didn't make for the best atmosphere
• You were off your tits

Pete, could we get a function on each thread where there will be a summary of the thread contents thus far? Would save me weeks of my life. Thanks.

thanks dude. I went with this word-for-word, but I also mentioned that the bloke in the winnie-the-pooh suit and the dozy bird on her blokes shoulders really did in my nut

just for added authenticity to prove I was there.

Oh and incidentally, I used my last May ticket to get into this (gave my March ticket to a mate). The thing wouldn't scan so the bouncer wasn't gonna let me in. He was cool though once I explained about the ticket being for the original date. He just tore the stub and let me in.

All is forgiven Animal Collective!

That can be a default for every thread about a gig, right?

Unless it was actually in Whelans.

In which case you have to say something like "The Boom Boom Room gig was way better"

Or "I preferred them when I saw them at ATP two years ago"

Is it not the rule that photographers can shoot for the first three songs then they have to leave? Granted 3 Animal Collective songs could last nearly an hour.

i think it's the rule that they can stay for 3 songs or until the band says so. they must have been using mad flashes or something coz it didn't bother him at all in Whelans and folks were waaay closer to them then. kinda odd.

Well, the lights were part of the show there the other night with the table cloths and the orb and such.
It was ruining the effect, and probably a few buzzes, with the constant flashes.

if you need more than a song or two to get a good few photos, there is something wrong.

also, its 3 dudes standing behind tables and moving only slightly. no point in waiting for the 'money' shot.

so the band was drinking in the palace after the show. what is it about bands going there when they play dublin? it's one of the worst drinking holes in the city

I take your point but the best places are packed to the gills on a Friday.
And for some people it's who you're with, not where you are.

true dat. too many bleedin "photographers" at gigs these days anyway. i'm sure some of them only do it to get in free.
