Stone Roses - Reunited! (Dublin Date) - *NO ticket sales/requests - Discussion only*

Was at Heaton Park on Saturday. Had heard bar situation on Friday was a nightmare but didn't seem too bad on Saturday. Queue was huge but plenty of staff on and security ensuring no jumping so wasn't waiting longer than 7/8 minutes between starting to queue and getting served. Still a good idea to pick up as much as you can carry ie two pints and a Bacardi Breezer for each pocket. Souns system was good and Ian Brown has definitel had singing lessons IMO compared to other times I've seen him solo or on live videos. Pretty sure they started at 9.15 as well and finished a couple of minutes before eleven.

I was there on the Friday at Heaton. Nightmare with the bar situation but glad to hear they copped on and sorted it out for the rest of the gigs. Wonder how boggy it was by Sunday, lovely fresh virgin ground on the Friday.

I found the bass too high/ mid' too low on Friday. TBH, trouble making anything out for the karaoke singing! brilliant gig and chuffed to have made it.

Enjoy the gigs at Phoenix!

The View and Sound !! from the Heaton Park Pit.

Jesus that is shocking. I'm not a huge fan so don't really know much about the band beyond their studio recordings, why can't he sing in tune? The band don't sound that great either. I know it's just a YouTube clip but I hope they sound a lot better on Thursday.

Velocity_Girl

No queuing before 4pm? How strict do you think they're gonna be? My friend is planning on queuing before that, they'll hardly stop her will they?

Ouravit

Just back From Manchester. Gig was out of this world. Songs sounding fresher than ever, Best band on the planet. FACT
Hold tight Dublin. Its gonna be special.

Hi folks,

Will the stage be open air or will it be enclosed with a marquee?

Looking at the forecast for the week i hope to God there is a marquee!

I didn't watch the clip but I was there and the sound was absolutely spot on, Brown's voice was excellent on the night, as good as I've hear him.

Yeh the bar was a joke, but luckily I didnt have to use it . Was at the Saturday show and had been told security was pretty lax at it, so all of us smuggled vodka in and didnt get searched once, the que for the bar was shocking.

We were there saturday, had heard the reports about the bar on friday, but had no problems only had to queue about 15mins each time.

Forecast doesn't look that bad.

The stage at Heaton Park looked pretty cool, lots of screens and a good light show. Wonder will we get the same stage at the Phoenix or is it a standard one being built for these three MCD shows?

ElephantStone

I honest to jaysus cannot wait for this. I see the Heaton park gigs weren't too strict on security, how do people think it'll be on Thursday? For those poor students with no money who might need ahem, their own cheaper options to the beer on sale.

Tell her to stand beside someone until 4,and then behind someone after that.She'll be grand.

aka accounts 2010

Just back from Manchester guys and last night was unbelievable. I was in the second row of the pit for the entire gig. Ian sounded brilliant and the band were really tight. Excellent show!! Started at 9.10 and finished at 11.00.

Heading to Phoenix Park Thursday and cannot wait for round two!!!

Skid

I can't remember the last time I was excited about a gig as this.

I thought they would never reform. Everytime I look at the Internet I hold my breath that they haven't fallen out again!

Would The Hole in the Wall Pub be the closest to the entrance anyone?

Pretty Much. Hole in the Wall and Comiskeys on Blackhorse Ave and the Halfway House on the Navan Road would be the 3 closest boozers to the entrance.

Thanks Billy.

Anyone who was in Manchester, did you see the Wailers? What kind of set did they play? Many Bob classics?
