What are the age restrictions for buying drink in there?

One person told me it was 19 and another said 21 .

I bought drink when I was 18 last year up near the front of the barrier. Didn't ID me at all.

Last time I was there (Iron Maiden over a year ago) it was Carlsberg and Guinness only, served in plastic cups. And the Guinness is poured in one go! I can't remember the exact price but it was something like €5 for the Guinness and €5.50 for the lager.

**** that. Don't like either of them. Plan B it is then

All the big ones are on that set list. I'd love to hear Sir Psycho Sexy and Scar Tissue and The Zephyr Song. Pushing it asking for them three I'd say. I'd be happy if I heard Scar Tissue. That's in my top 3 Chili's songs.

Brendog

As long as they play "Otherside" and "Universally Speaking" I'll be happy:D

Jimmy Iovine

Oh yea and they HAVE to play Can't Stop. I've been waiting years to see the live version of it. It looks unreal on the internet. The slow build up. Josh plays a vague few notes teasing you. Then all of a sudden it hits you and all hell breaks lose. Then you have Flea going crazy on stage and forgetting he has to play an instrument. Can't wait for tomorrow now.

i know the ticket says doors are at 6.30pm but wonder what time we can expect them to take the stage?

Everyone that's going, enjoy it tomorrow (Super jealous!)

Really rough guess here. I reckon Fools Gold will come on round 7.30 for an hour or so. That gives half an hour to set up the stage for the Chilis. Then, going by the set list above, 22 songs at an average of 5 minutes each, they'll be on for about 2 hours or so. All should be wrapped up by 11.30. Then again I haven't a clue really and I'm only guessing.

I also love the Zephyr Song. Its my second favourite Chilis song next to my all-time favourite, which is and always will be Otherside.

Thankfully Otherside is a huge possibility for tonight and I'm really glad they've included it so early on in the setlist.

Zephyr Song actually hasn't been played in full since 2003. Anytime its played live its only a teaser so thats all we will get if we do get it.

I'd also love Brendan's Death Song to be there but for some reason they've only played it once live since the tour begun.

They have to finish up by 11:00. Chilis will be on at half eightish. Fools Gold just after 7 for a 45 minute set.

Right in a bit of a pickle here. I can't seem to find any receipt that has my dads name on it for the credit card.

I've got an email that was sent the second I bought the tickets. It has the last 4 digits of the credit card. Would that do or do I need another sheet?

R.D. aka MR.D

I'm leaving soon now to drive down. Hope it all goes well and i make it!!!!

I hope they play goodbye hooray and sir psycho. But i'll be happy with anything really. love them all!!

Hope everyone has a good time!!!

Saaron

EXCITED!!! Dying to see what songs they play, hope they play some of their really old stuff

It's not quite as old-school as that but I'd love to hear "Fight Like a Brave".

I'd say that would do you fine.

wonder where the band are staying:)

Setlits from the previous gigs look great - they seem to change it quite a bit. Not impressed with the new album apart from a few tracks so glad it' mainly the older tunes they are playing. Hoping for The otherside, Snow and Zephyr Song as well as all the obvious classics that will obviously be played.

Dub88

Getting excited now time to crack open the vodski

ED E

Can't wait! Gonna be whopper.

Monarchy of roses.
By the way.
Around the world.
Factory of faith.
Higher ground.
Other side.
Snow.
Sir psyco.
Power of equality.
Californication.
Give it away.
Me and my friends.

Set list prediction ;D

I felt the same after the Phoenix park gig a few years back. So nothing's changed then?

Ha I thought that was class. They sounded brilliant and Klinghoffer is a worthy replacement for Frusciante after tonight. Scar tissue was immense! Roll on Croke Park!:D

Brilliant gig, Me and My Friends was my favourite

karaokeman

I was expecting to hear these kind of comments. And yeah I can't say for sure regarding their previous Irish shows as tonight was my first Chilis gig but I have to say I was absolutely blown away tonight.

I heard all the rumours here and elsewhere that the RHCP are terrible live. Taken I'll never understand why people slate a lot of what I enjoy, tonight was a great gig. The third best I've ever been to out of the 18 (approximately) or so I have attended in the past 3 years.

I loved every minute of the show from when Chad turned up to when Keidis dedicated Under The Bridge to his son. The show had something to suit everyone. The first few songs were the most energetic, electrifying and lively. A lot of pushing, shoving and a lot of that s*** up where I was. Anthony had us all going from the moment they kicked into Monarchy of Roses.

Only thing that disappointed me really was the fact they didn't play Otherside (my favourite song of theirs) but everything else was perfect. All their tunes sounded so much better live than they would anyday listening to my iPod. And Around The World was played in the encore, I did not expect that:p.

So I guess while we can't all agree on everything I had a thriller of a night. 9.5/10 for me, waited many, many, many years to see the Chilis playing and it was well worth the wait.

Roll on Croker 26/06/2012;).

Could anyone please post the actual Setlist they played tonight?
