Is alcohol on sale at Thomond Park gigs?

moonage

I'll be going to see Bob Dylan at Thomond Park on Sunday and was wondering if I'll be able to buy a few beers while I'm there.

If so, how many bars are at the venue and what are the queues like?

Drinking and Bar advice for Thomond Park next Sunday........

They keep it all hid, better jump down a manhole, light yourself a candle, don’t wear sandals, try to avoid the scandals, Don’t wanna be a bum, you better chew gum, the Pump don’t work ’Cause the Vandals took the handles.........

Yes. Plenty.About 5 mins max usually.

There was a huge difference between the bars (and toilet queues!) for Pink compared to say Rod Steward which were alot more accessible and flowing. So you will have no problems at Bob I reckon.

The Caherdavin soccer pitch by the Greenhills Hotel on the Ennis Road, if you're desperate. It used to have a big sign up saying "No Camping" but that's been missing for a while now

It is not sold out so I reckon you should be able to get a below face value ticket outside the stadium Zuroph.

Think he has started - or else he is playing out in raheen

Raiser

So what's the verdict - did he stay alive for the whole thing?

I ended up going on a last minute whim yesterday and really enjoyed him (which I didn't think I would).

I must admit thought the gig was pretty shocking got there halfway into David Grays set and the crowd were almost comatose. As for Dylan himself god is it difficult to say even a hello to the crowd. Never seen so many people leave thomond park before the end of an event before. Its not good but tbh the crowd were more entertaining than the stage acts. Although I did hear seasick steve was pretty kewl

RonMexico

Alabama 3 - Brilliant

Seasick Steve - Amazing

David Gray - Sucked as always.

Bob Dylan - Brilliant, my second time seeing him but I am a hardcore Dylan fan. The greatest hits crowd will always moan.

There's still something wrong here though - I might need it explained to me as maybe I'm missing some key point, but why is it that he seems to routinely disappoint People who initially had flocked to see him and then end up leaving an hour early disgusted and depressed?

- It also seems as though he is too lazy and arrogant to ever attempt to interact with his audience; That's just arrogant profiteering at the end of the day...... Bet he doesn't mind spending their money......

Depends, someone who's expecting a Pink style concert will probably hate it, but I've seen Dylan twice and both were great concerts. I don't see why people care if a band says "We were told they knew how to rock in Shelbyville..."

That's not to slag off Pink style concerts, just Dylan isn't that type of musician.

RonMexico

Bob Dylan has been doing the same thing since the sixties. If anyone is surprised by what they got in Thomond Park they obviously don't know much about him. I'd never recommend him to a casual fan, he doesn't cater to that crowd. People accusing him of being arrogant make me laugh. He is probably the most arrogant musician of all time and has been since day one. It is like going to Elton John and being shocked to discover that he is a flamboyant homosexual.

Raiser

Meh - Have no time for arrogance on that level.

- Its always the wrong Rock Stars that die from choking on their own vomit :P
