He types like a deaf person talks.

 

[CITY BABY]

got back to limerick from this at 6 o clock this mornin, into bed for an hour and a half then into work for 8.00 ,and totally worth it, in fairness with the buses i cant see what could have being done, we arrived back in dublin at about half three, but with that many people there I was expecting that. Havnt being to a non punk outdoor gig since one of the feiles 12 or 13 years ago, wouldnt be in a hurry to go to one again, but ac/dc made every minute waiting around, getting soaked and tryin not to crash the car on the way home worth it .|..|.|..|.|..|

Shit was Epic.

Agreed to re: buses etc. It's to be expected, no?
Didn't find it too bad to be honest to be back in Dublin by 2.

It's to be expected that there would be traffic delays leaving the venue... not that you'll be left in a load of queueing pens without any stewards or guards to keep it organized and moving, so that everyone pushes the barriers down and crushes the people at the front against the buses.

 

[therealjohnny]

Oh man, I can't wait for Liveline today.

No mention at all

Do RTE have a self imposed ban on discussing MCD events now?

 

[worthit]

Did he not go mental about the Slane gig. I emailed them today and they said they'd call me back. What time does it end at?

 

[worthit]

now.

they did- which makes it weird that they didn't keep it going today

It was the exact same at the Stones last year- we were made walk miles in the wrong direction in the dark

terrible organisiation

Yeah i think I agree with you except my expectation inclues that people will knock barriers down and step all over other people and also that stewards will derelict their responsibilities. Not saying thats good enought, just saying I wasn't surprised. I didn't see anybody getting stepped on or hurt though and my own exit was relatively painless.
I did see some other shit there thought that I'd hope not to see again.
The dudes behind us pissing openly in the field, practically on the people directly in front of them. But sure you can't legislate for people being scum.

Yeah my mate went to get a beer and there was a guy pissing on the people in the queue in front of him. There seemed to be a lot more people than normal that were just too drunk to move.

 

[Pilchard]

Did anyone see the Blizzards? And did they get bottled?

 

[worthit]

I think they were largely ignored. They were the sound track to my two hour walk from the motorway.

Yeah he went mental about slane but after the second day, MCD sent a letter through their lawyers basically threatening a lawsuit if he (and his callers) didn't stop repeating the statement that there were more than 83,500 people at Slane (the license limit). After that, I imagine RTE won't touch MCD events with a bargepole.

It's a pity the third Liveline show on Slane got pulled - it was due to feature security guards who were going to claim that they weren't given any training and that there was no plan in place for stewards or security on the day. I think a lot of the problems at the large outdoor gigs that MCD put on are due to lack of training of security staff. One of the companies that do security at Oxegen gave my brother a job down there one year and put him on without any training at all.

 

[GO]

Yous will all be saying their the best band in the world

I won't, I'll be watching them sober. I'm bringing a flask of tea, a sandwich and a copy of Empire magazine.

They were amazing. One of the best gigs I've ever seen.

Hate to say it......but


I TOLD YOU SO!

that guy pissing in the queue tried to fight me cos i said he had a semi

 

[worthit]

Everywhere I went I saw a fight start with two drunks just rubbing into eachother in passing.

I wish someone was making a documentary at the gig. The crowd were the most bizarre mix of rockers, hillbillies, inbreds, hotties, fat blokes, bikers, and carnies.

They crawled out of the corners of every town in Ireland, and UK. Heroic drinkin everywhere! My mate got some classic photos. We should have a thread for just the ACDC gig photos.

Great gig! Let there be Rock ruled! So did Dirty deeds

 

[Stan Bowles]

I'm regretting not filming the drunk dwarf we saw, it would have been youtube gold.

About 20 mins after we got there we saw a young one, pregnant, walking through the buses carpark with a fag in her mouth and a can of dutch gold! Couldn't get the camera out on time, so we missed that golden moment.

Dang!
