Tom Waits for Dublin (3 Viewers)

[Jill Hives]

Kick him in the shins! I would.

 

[Unicron]

Tell him you know a ukulele player that knows In Ruby's Arms. I think I'd really fill the sound out.

 

[Wheels]

Kick him in the shins! I would.

He'd have bitten yer ankles before you could say boo.

Kill Yr. Idols!

He should have made the tickets more affordable. He's off my list! Screw him and all going! Bitter, bitter, bitter.

ditto.

Ah it's the promoter. The tickets were only E28 for the Prague show. It was cheaper to fly there and back than see him than here.

Still going Friday, mind.

Screw you, Mitchum!

Ah, now here. Would you LOOK at the state of the seats. €130 for folding plastic chairs? I think not.



Thanks for the heads-up RTÉ! Glad I'm not going now!

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

Friend of mine rang me at half seven. He was raging that his seats were way off to the immediate right and he couldn't fully see the stage. Considering the ticket price you'd expect better.

Okay, making me feel slightly better. Now he just better not play; Please Call Me Baby or All the World is Green and I'll be a lot less bitter. Still bitter, mind you, just a little less.

 

[Man In A Can]

You would imagine Waits would have brought his own tent for that money, not the same yellow and blue yoke that was the 2nd stage at Midlands, the 2nd stage at Lovebox, some tent at the Picnic and the Kilmainham tent last year for that thing with the tinfoil and a few bands whose names I can't remember.

Sounds like Aikens didnt deliver an aul' ticket for the man from The Westmeath Examiner

Was it a good show?

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

yeah, after all this time i was hoping for a better review

thats it. close thread. the party's over.

 

[jcdonaggio]

Was it a good show?

yeah, it was sensational.

I thought the sound was a big muddy at the start, not much clarity in the vocals, but it got better as the show went on. Pure showman. Halfway through the set he played 3 songs on the piano which were lovely. Only really started getting into Waits a few months back, so wasnt familiar with some of the material but it didnt matter, I was totally engrossed in it.

Funny fucker too - made a joke that Dublin has changed since he was last here, it is no longer allowoed to have a smoking monkey. That man just oozes class. Going again tonight!

No hassles with ID or any of that jazz - getting in was no different to any other concert, and Peter Aiken himself close by the gates, presumably making sure everything went smoothly.

Top night.
