[Alan Remorse]

Wow. That's some band.

 

[M. Stratosphere]

yeah thats a hell of a band alright. remember seeing him do a solo show in McHughs pub in Drogheda years back, was a great gig.

 

[Jim A. Morrish]

saw him in the lobby, cork, years ago - tremendous stuff

 

[Gambra]

I think I'll go simply for the line up. Amazing.

 

[Nate Champion]

FUCKIN' YES!!!

I can't believe it. This is my favourite album of the year. Absolutely beautiful record. Dense textures.

Unreal line-up.

 

[Unknown Convict]

saw him in the lobby, cork, years ago - tremendous stuff

when he was here with peter sillen for the cork film festival? truly amazing gig. 1994, right? he played flying, which floored me.

[east hastings]

would have thought tbmc was a bit too big for vic chesnutt, won't stop me from going just thought i'd add that

 

[I Bleed Black]

Lookin forward to this. Button Factory looks nice too

tonight!

 

[rettucs]

This was great. Very, very enjoyable (once it got into full swing).

2 thumbs down to whoever decided to leave us all standing outside until 8:45 in the cold (and rain at times). (doors were meant to open at 8).

The button factory is a nice venue, but the organisation there leaves a lot to be desired. Making those who'd booked tickets online wait til everyone else had gone it, was just not on. Fuckers.

Great gig though.

 

[Lungs]

I enjoyed this very much. Like the dude above said; waiting around in the freezing cold beforehand was pretty balls, but the gig made up for it. The highlight for me was probably 'You Are Never Alone', which oddly enough was one of the songs I didn't like that much on 'North Star Deserter'. I think the violinist was the standout member of the band. Guy Piccioto didn't do a whole lot really, but it was swell to see him. Anyone go up and talk to Vic afterwards?

 

[I Bleed Black]

This was a really great gig, enjoyed it so much. I've only become familiar with Vic lately so i've only heard the new album but even with such a great band like that behind him he was still easily the star of the show, what a super prerformer and quite a funny guy too. As said above the violin player deserves a special mention too she was great. I managed to bag the last lp at the merch table and get it signed by Vic too which I was well happy with.

There's a nice sounding bootleg of this up here now:

[Unicron]

The Matador twitter feed is reporting that he passed away.

Pitchfork also doing the same but are covering themselves by saying "but maybe he isn't," because they've only got one source on it.
