    Just to heads up people.

    I went to Primal Scream in Cork [Savoy] during a Heineken Green Energy type of gig, was in 2008

    And because of the intensity of the music I now am suffering from Tinitis in left ear, over three years later and forever.

    I have lost the ability to hear bass tones/ sounds in that ear so am partially deaf.

    You have been warned, they are loud and the hearing loss is permanent.:eek:

    Nice one, cheers. I think it's between Grand Social and Workmans. Both are quite decent and cheap

    So a summary for people wondering how early to go in would be something like this:

    Most of the current tour has just been the album and a 3 song encore.

    In London at the start of this tour, around a year ago, they did a separate greatest hits set but that seems to have been a one-off.

    The band are due on at 8.45pm, but that is just a rumour on a music website.

    :confused:

    Anyone know if the O2 has a coatroom yet?

    Apparently not.

    Sorry to hear that, ouch.
    Funnily enough I saw this Scream tour in Hyeres (France) in August with about 2,000 French folk standing around with their fingers in their ears. Bobby was irate at their lack of dancing.
    For me, I'm deaf as a post so I say crank that sh!t up!

    There's a few of us thinking of heading out to this but we've no tickets. Seems like there are still plenty available so hoping to pick some up out there. Is there a ticket office at the O2? Never been to a gig there before so haven't a clue...

    Enjoyed it. Didn't really kick off until Loaded.
    Poor Bobby can't really hold a tune, never could I suppose, still, the concert gave me a new appreciation of one of the most groundbreaking albums of all time.

    That was enjoyable. It's a bit gimicky though. And the crowd there tells a tale, 6,000 at a 14,500 venue...

    I thought it was a really amazing gig as well. Tho I would agree that it was a bit subdued till Loaded kicked in. Everyone was sitting down before that :confused:

    Re the crowd - it was very decent I thought. Tho of course the very upper tier of the seating was closed off.

    And so was I in 2008 and as a result have Tinitus and Hearing loss in my left ear.


    Ringing in your ear is a warning of damage to your ear so be careful.

    If I had my time back I would have purchased and worn acoustic ear plugs that would reduce the intensity of the music at the concert and allow me to enjoy the concert.

    In 2008 the sound was so loud you could physically feel the sound waves in your stomach!!!!

    Maybe though that had more to do with the venue than the band? I'm only saying maybe now, I don't really know anything about the subject

    True True the Savoy is a smaller venue and the volume should have been tailored for the venue.

    I knew nothing about the subject until that night!!


    Anyway Happy New Year and as Neil from the Young One's would say

    "PEACE" :):):)

    Here's what I thought

    Screamadelica remains one of my most cherished LPs and a worthy wearer of the "King of 1991" crown. The passing of 20 years has not diminished its impact although the Loveless love-in party will invariably disagree. The O2 seemed a rather incongrous venue for the Dublin leg of the tour - especially seeing as they failed to fill the old Point Depot on the Xtrmntr rollercoaster.

    After an effective set from Adrian "Friendly As A Hand Grenade" Sherwood, Primal Scream took the stage at 9.00pm and immediately launched into Side 1 of the album. A soulful Movin' On Up was followed by a muddy and wayward Slip Inside This House before the hedonistic beats of Don't Fight It, Feel It lifted our feet and spirits. At that point expectations were confounded by a tinkering with the running order - i.e. an extended comedown section consisting of Damaged, I'm Comin' Down and Inner Flight. Blissful memories of 1991 - 1995 allnighters in various southside flats came flashing back at an alarming rate.

    At this point you could sense the crowd beginning to drift so the bench began to shed its big hitters. Both versions of Higher Than The Sun followed in an elongated suite of narcotic melodies and blunted dub rhythms lasting nigh on 20 minutes. The Wild Angels dialogue ushering in Loaded brought forth an euphoric rush reminscent of Féile 1992 (Friday night in the rain) while Come Together was simply magnificent. It consisted of the best of both remixes - Farley and Weatherall - colliding in an almighty symphony of musical togetherness maaaan. Surprisingly Shine Like Stars did not follow.

    After a brief wait we got treated to a four song encore. Swastika Eyes was relentless while Country Girl and Jailbird shone like twisted early 70s southern-fried jewels. That just left the swaggering Rocks to electrify the crowd and see us home in style.

    I'll be honest. I thought it was absolute sh1te and Bobby Gillespie is as talentless as he is irritating.
