I was there too! Can't believe they didn't show it! :mad:

I went to see it in the LightHouse in Dublin. The screen went black after the Hard Rock Calling gig, and a few minutes later, Epilogue (the word) appeared on the screen for around a minute and then they showed it.
Did you leave before it came on maybe? Or did the lights come on in the cinema after Hard Rock Calling?

I sat for five minutes waiting for the crowd to leave before me.

It's 75% of the legendary Planxty (Liam O'Flynn, Andy Irvine and Donal Lunny) with Paddy Glackin. The LAPD acronym comes from the initials of their first names. They're superb at what they do, but I'll be very interested to see how well they work in a stadium to an audience that isn't their own. I suspect when people get used to a bunch of old fogeys on stage playing Irish trad, they'll get into the spirit of it.
The dream would be for Christy Moore to turn up and do the legendary Raggle Taggle Gypsy/Tabhair Dom Do Lámh medley with them, but that is a bit of a tall order.

I agree, these guys are absolute legends. In fact I am surprised that Imelda May is ahead of them on the bill. Anyone who knew the trad & folk scene in Ireland in the late seventies and early eighties will confirm this.

have a look on youtube at Planxty at Vicar Street or LAPD at Electric Picnic. Only possible issue, as you say, is how their music will transfer to a bigger stadium many of whom dont know their music.

Same here - myself and my friend waited for the rest of the people to leave and there was nothing, the lights came on and all. That's really annoying now!

I think a shrewdly-chosen set list by them will work wonders. It's not the type of music where you need to know the melodies to appreciate them. I suspect (and hope) that even the most cynical of audiences could not fail to be appreciative. On paper, they're an unlikely choice for the bill, but they could actually work a treat on the day.

I was at Mahon Point as well, the 6.20 showing. I remembered the notice at the start saying that Hyde Park and a meet and greet with fans would be shown after the film but, like you say, the lights came on after Hyde Park stuff. Bad form.

I don't think most people in Blanch knew what he was talking about in the intro to Red Headed Woman.....maybe they were too disgusted to make a sound, but I was the only one laughing

Have that show on bootleg somewhere.....

No earthly way it started at 5.45.......

I reckoned it was going to begin @ 5.30.....and timed my enterance for about quarter past ..........only to get a call five minutes away that the pre-show was over.

It started at half four id say.

If you're talking about Belfast then yeah, he came on as we walked in so I'd say it was about 4.45, maybe a little earlier or later, but there or thereabouts.

Apologies it was 4.45 - just looked back on a text I sent someone when he was singing Maria's Bed and that was at 4.50pm

No pre show in Cardiff

Goreme

Here's one to test the Bruce masterminds... how many individually different songs have been played on this Wrecking Ball world tour (including pre-show songs)? So I'm not talking about Born to Run x 120 shows = 120, I mean Born to Run 1, Thunder Road 2, etc... I'd say he has far and away a record for the number of individually different songs played on a world tour.

What a set list - loved that he did 4 from
Tracks

delbertgrady

The Cardiff setlist is just incredible. TV Movie, Cynthia, Roulette, Tougher Than the Rest, Janey Don't You Lose Heart. Five songs from The River. Unbelievable stuff. Probably my second favourite set of the tour after Rome. Not that I was at either, regrettably...

gg2

Tougher Than The Rest!!!!!!!!! The very first Bruce song I fell in love with! No longer a favorite but would absolutely love to hear it live! Come on Kilkenny!!

Posted this elsewhere but got no reply. it sort of anwers your question >>

I've been trying to work out where our seats are for the gig and I'm confused. Different seating maps have the the blocks labelled differently.
For example here
http://www.piltown.kilkenny.gaa.ie/miscellaneous/stadium-seating-plans
and here http://windgap.kilkenny.gaa.ie/useful-links
the blocks run A-I from county to city end
but on the ticket master site the blocks runs I-A from county to city as it does here on http://www.kilkennygaa.ie/news/read/id/805

I'm in block C which means depending on which map is right I'm either right beside the stage which was what I thought when I booked them or on the other end of stadium . Anyone shed some light on this.
