Can't wait to go! I'm so thrilled with the seats I got. Would I be ok with an ickle digital camera or will it be taken off me and crushed under heel.

I haven't been to The Point since Boyzone years ago...

*Blonde Moment*

Are you allowed to bring bags into the O2 or do you have to use (probably overpriced) cloakroom?

You can bring bags in which maybe be searched. As for camera's last time the where hunting for camera's in the crowed but I am sure an odd photo would be ok. Just keep an eye on other people using them

Boyzone what where you at ?

You can bring a bag in, but there aren't any cloakrooms, so you'll have to hang onto it. Also, they'll probably search it for contraband. You should be grand bringing a camera in though. So many people do nowadays, they can't police it.

okay, which one of ye bas@#rds broke into my house and stole my Violator tee-shirt, I had it for the '90? and '06 Point concerts so it should still be around:(
Fook it, a Star Wars tee will have to do.
Heading out the door now onto those big road things so see ye all later and ENJOY


REACH OUT AND TOUCH FAITH

Excellent, she'd be pissed off if she had to wait in the car all evening
It's okay, she doesn't read boards stuff

Don't miss Soulsavers....ye lucky so-and-so's

I missed Soulsavers.

Great gig, but man am I partial to the 80s shít (anything off Construction Time Again, Some Great Reward, Black Celebration, etc.) but still deadly gig. New Luas is fúckin' handy.

I thought the beginning of the gig was quite subdued, and even though it picked up after the first three "new" songs, the peak was "I feel you" and ETS.
Overall great, a very "open" stage" with little to interfere between us and them.
Martin's choices were well em....could have been better, not saying they weren't great, it just he has better, Home was his best.

Oh and loved the deal pixel for PJ at the end

Well done the Mode and we'll keep you to your parting comment "see you next time". I will.

Absolutely loved the gig, as always.
Although I'm disappointed they didn't play Fly on the Windscreen. I was really lokoing forward to that one from all the other set lists I'd seen.
But still, it was a great night.

Best gig in many years for me and the O2 and Luas together made going to the gig relaxing. Enjoy the silence my fav

Amazing performance from DM, - highlights for me were Enjoy the Silence and Personal Jesus..

Just awesome.........

Phenomenal. Probably the best time I've seen them. I couldn't fault the set list, much as I would have liked them to have done a few of the tracks that they'd done earlier in the tour, like the aforementioned Fly on the Windscreen. Also, Waiting for the Night as a closing comedown would have been nice, but even so, an excellent show.

Great gig. Much rocker than you'd think. Great drummer and man their voices are great.

I thought the roof was going to come off towards the end when they rolled out the old crowdpleasers. The subwoofers must have been almost loosening the rivets in the place during I Feel You.

Gore still has a good set of pipes on him, great rendition of Home.

Great gig, hadn't been to the o2 yet, is a good setup, luas very handy too.

Prefabsprouter

Really enjoyed the gig - not being a huge DM fan I was interested to see what songs they would play and they didnt disappoint. Personal faves for me where "Question of Time", "enjoy the Silence" and "Personal Jesus".

First time in the O2, great spot (apart from the drink prices)

mielag

Much better then 05/06 tour! Stage was amazing - awesome gig!!!!!!!!

Tomohawk

Stunning! Best gig I've been to since the Pixies in the National Stadium in 1990. My highlights started with the pre-show music, "World in my Eyes" when we had lift off and The Wave at the end of NLMDA. I think Dave was gobsmacked during ETS, we did the all vocal work for him...:D

Thanks to the "up for it" Irish fans. Thank you Depeche Mode! See you next year!

holton

Really enjoyed the gig. Better than the last time I saw them in Manchester a few years ago. Home, Never let me down and Behind the Wheel were amazing. Like others, disappointed they didn't play Fly on the Windscreen and Waiting for the Night (though I wasn't expecting to here the latter). Was my first time in the O2 and was quite impressed. The after-party in Pravda was good too.

I didn't get to go, I was heratbroekn last night so me and my flatmate drank a bottle of buckfast and blared 101..I nearly cried after a few drinks!

When you say see you next year, do you mean they're playing again next year??
Did they say that??

I thought this would be their last time touring/playing..

If so it's gonna make my f*cking day!!

Tomohawk

Dave said "see you next year" as the band walked offstage after the encore. Let's hope they come back again! Nitzer Ebb are supporting them early next year for some shows. Some lucky fans there in 2010! First time for us in the O2 last night, I have to say it's a great improvement on the old Point that I remember from the late 1980s. Toilets, bars and seats are good and the arena floor looks good too.

Think he said "see you next time". Suppose it could be next year.

I'd echo everything already said above - fantastic performance! I Feel You was superb. Martin's songs were something else too especially Insight.

If I could, I'd love to catch them again before this tour ends.

Absolutely brilliant night. Even better than 3 years ago (I met them backstage at that concert, so nothing beats that:D:D:D) but the sound and the playlist were just brilliant last night.

I wish it was this time yesterday
