    Are you planning on having them sitting on your lap for everyone to see?! They'll be fine in your pocket.

    Speaking of drunks.. there was a group of men and women from Donegal in front of us in the pit.. ranging in age from 40s to late 50s. All dressed in blazers with Aiken promotion wrist bands.

    Talk about a bunch of messy drunks, pushing and shoving each other. Falling over. Knocking into people trying to watch the concert. At one stage a girl behind them got a whack in the face because of the antics and I pulled your man on it and I was the bad guy because they were out for 'a good time'.

    Not to many people around them were having a good time.

    I got a pit pass on Friday at 5:20 but I think that was just down to sheer luck, I'd say they'll be gone before that today

    Yea was thinking with everyone off today that more people will que. I just dont wanna get there to early and then miss out ha. We were very lucky at the RDS last time we just walked up about 5 and got pit passes. Suppose cant always be that lucky.

    Noticed that on Friday, Stevie Nils and max can still go, but they're definitely wearing their age on their faces.

    How do you go about getting a pit pass, or is it to late at this stage? Just killing time in town here.

    I've no idea what a roll call is. Never seen one before.

    If some of the members do decide to call it a day very soon but the boss doesn't want to retire the esb element he could hire replacements Wahlberg's son is drummer of slipknot now and I think filled in on drums for the esb a few times

    If the whole band called it a day after this tour it will be sad but Bruce and the band owe us nothing and everyone will wish them well in retirement.

    Jake is only 36 and is an extremely good musican just like his late uncle

    Head up to croke park and get in the queue, either in the car park behind the Davin stand, or if that is no longer going head to the normal entrance to the Cusack stand and get in the queue there.

    Picked up a wristband at the Cusack stand entrance at about 3.10. Didn't have to enter at that stage so gone for a pint in Fairview.

    Great weather anyway.
