absolutely brilliant show... except for curtain-gate. I had an image of the responsible party being summarily executed backstage for some reason.

What happened - i wasn't at the gig. Did something go wrong for Man Machine at the start?

Heineken has to be the some farmers piss, and being charged 5.50 for it was a bit of a blow but the show was amazing, that curtain could of fucked the show up but it was hilarious, and liverpool won so all in all a splendid day

Nope, they went to close the curtains before the encore, so they could set up the robots, but the curtain only closed halfway. It was kinda funny. Took what seemed like ages to sort it out

And then it wouldn't open properly at the start of Elektrokardiogramm.

Great show. I could have stood there for another 2 hours.

Comtron were freakin deadly earlier on.

Anyone know what the deal is with getting the bus money back? Glad I didn't have to sit on a bus all the way to wicklow and back anyway.

that curtain shit happened at tribal gathering in 97 too, except that time it wouldnt open at the start & numbers was played entirely behind it... was still great

 

[cephalopod]

Really enjoyed it. Glad I came down lateish (7.30pm) and smuggled in my own booze, the q for the bar looked hellish. There was a bit of a surreal vibe though, visually, like they had kidnapped a little part of EP and moved it to Kilmainham, though it sure as hell didnt feel like EP. Tour De France visuals were the best I've ever seen...

If you paid for your ticket by card, it should be back on your card now, if you paid for your ticket by cash, then you had until 9pm on the night to pick up the 20 quid from the tent immediately on the left after the entrance.

this was deadly. Only got in at about half 8 and managed to get right up the front. Amazing stuff. The visuals were amazing. They've really mastered the art of capturing the audience's imagination without actually doing anything. Just them, then just robots, then just them in funny clothes. Genius.

The merchandise was deadly too. Didn't get one of the cycling jerseys but they looked great.

 

[skinnerchinner]

the bar was absolute horse gick
that needs to be sorted if I ever go to that venue again

 

[Froog]

great day, pub was a joke alrite, half an hour queue, 5.50 a pint of heineken, and a glass for "tips". kraftwerk were deadly, visuals were brilliant.

just read a review in the independent (we get it in work, ugh). half of it was about the curtain malfunction. the other half shoulda been about how shite the bar situation was. fuck you to all the tall people who stood in front of me. double fuck you to the tall people in front of me who put other tall people on their shoulders. savage gig though, tour de france soundtrack etape 1/2/3 bits & computer love were my faves

 

[nEiLo]

It was great to hear Showroom Dummies. I'd never seen them do it before. Other highlights where Neon Lights and the Metal on Metal bit of Trans Europe Express. Awesome.

Got a text from a mate during the curtain malfunction that read: Spinal Kraftwerk.

 

[penexpers]

My favourite bits were

- The bit during Tour de France when the map of the route is drawn. Really great use of visuals.
- The end of Numbers leading into Computerworld
- The sound getting noticeably louder for Radioactivity/TEE.

Bleh, lots of other stuff. I don't think they should have messed with the tracklisting as much as they did - I felt the 2004/2005 setlist worked well.

Still be worth it I think.

Hmm, it's this Sunday though.
