There are clips of the gig up on Youtube.

Trains Across the Sea would melt Mugabe's heart.

BEST. NIGHT. EVER!!

I agree! It was INCREDIBLE!.|..|

 

[Ivytheterrible]

Amazing. Great band, ridiculously good atmosphere. The sound was excellent as well.

Started with Random Rules - total hairs on the back of the neck moment - and played basically all the songs they played in Dundalk plus Sometimes a Pony Gets Depressed. Encored with Trains Across the Sea and Punks in the Beerlight.

DCB wasn't playing guitar, and it really freed him. He seemed to really enjoy it from beginning to end - he dedicated the gig to "your May 17th selves", was "trying to discover the parameters of mike-stand technique" and was worried his in-ear monitors made him look like "that twit from Radiohead" .|..|

it was life-affirming stuff really. I've still got a ready-brek glow from it. Crashed me feckin bike last night and didn't feel a thing I was on such a buzz.

it was all just as flux here said, and truly an amazing gig (I think the highlight gig of my year so far!) I think he enjoyed not playing guitar and looked quite comfortable without it!
I was buzzin all weekend Flux-- I cannot believe you actually cycled home (i thought ya were joking!)

good gig.
Only knew one song (the first one) as I'm only a casual listener.
But it was great.
Great sound upstairs.
Think I prefer it up there.

He made awful damn sure everyone knew the bass player was his wife wha? If he was a cave man he would have pissed on her.

I got the scars to prove it! Well, gash. Luckily didn't have to go all the way though, met a friend on the street in Rathmines and conked on his couch instead. Just as well, I'd probably have got killed otherwise.

There was never going to be any sobriety after that gig anyhoo.

can you blame him?

if she was my wife I'd want everyone knowing it.

After eight or nine years together he still can't quite believe his luck!

 

[Unicron]

yes, I think this is the best gig I've ever been at my whole life. My objectivity might be slightly tainted by the fact that I was standing 2 feet in front of Cassie for the entire thing (unintentional, but...., wow :heart: ). It was great. The greatest ever.

From the the ATP handbook this weekend "... holed up and rolled up in Nashville with a hot band and a hotter wife".

They were very good there too. Though Dave made some odd references to Ireland there.

His banter in general seemed a little strange but he was reading headlines out of the Farmers Journal (it's a good time to be a sheepfarmer apparently) and that it was a bad time to live here because we were having the Lisbon Treaty shoved down our gullets. Nothing said in venom it was just a little perplexing.

 

[Gabbo]

Gig of the year for me so far. Dave Berman is my hero. Nice to have songs from all the albums too. Just got Natural Air in the post today.

no you didn't

 

[Gabbo]

no you didn't

I can never be cool ever. I got confused thinking about that noun and compliment thing in the album titles. What a blunder!

I fancy his wife, but I love Mr Berman. Still enjoying the gig in mind.

I haven't taken my t-shirt off since the gig. I mean metaphorically of course. I'm not a scum-bag.
