Tenacious D - The O2 October 20th

witnessmenow

Superb Gig I thought.

I was at the show in the RDS a few years ago and this was much better imo

Rise of the Fenix is obviously a better album than POD so that helps. Rise of the Fenix, Low hanging Fruit and Death Star are great songs for a Gig.

I didnt like the sights though, I couldnt put my finger on what i didnt like about them, despite them giving it socks, i just found them boring.

Yea really enjoyed the D last night and ending the gig with F**k you Gently was just epic . Was well worth the money and they seemed to be enjoying themselves

Loved the gig but I'm a bit miffed they didn't play Master Exploder...

How full was the place?

It was busy but not at capacity.

The sights were good but their music was a bit of a mess.

I was really happy with Tenacious D!! good fun, good sound and all the songs I wanted to hear.

The crowd (in the front ten rows or so) were not great though. Mainly 18 year olds or younger (if possible), just a bit messy.

They had a good chunk of the tired seats curtained off , if say roughly 8000?

Was a good gig alright, glad I went now. Crowd was quite sparse where I was, would say between 7-8,000 at it. Band seemed to enjoy it, and the two program references I largely enjoyed.

Great gig last night, didn't bother buying tickets as so many flying around in comps, in the end i won a pair on FM104, Lower tier, 2nd row.

Went in around 7.45, was in the seats but went downstairs to standing, my other half is only 5'4" so only stayed for first 2 D songs as she couldnt see fcuk all.

Went back to the seats, great view.

Awesome setlist, JB is so fcukin funny, and a full 2hr set, pretty damn good.

I'd say around the 8,000 mark, standing was approx 2/3 full, lower tier around 85% full

I was standing about 10ft from him, you'll be pleased to know that shortly after he did that security dragged him out with a twisted arm.

There was also a weird looking guy beside me that seemed to just lie down on the ground about 2 songs in. It didn't look like he fainted, at first I thought he was looking for something but he just lay face down on the floor until people start asking was he ok, at which point he stood up again.

Nice one, if he'd have done that anywhere near me or my other half i'd have knocked the prick out.

Another example of why Dublin needs a middle-sized venue.

If there was a 5,000 capacity venue they could have played two dates there and sold 4,000 for each, and 2,000 tickets unsold is better than the 7-6,000 for this gig.

I totally agree with Karaokeman on this one! We need a Medium Sized Venue (in Dublin preferably). Let's build one.

Oh I know, it'd be perfect. Even if it was branded as an o2 venue again. O2 academy would be handy but for a different venue with name taken. Doesnt seem like itll happen.

To be honest I'd rather it didn't have an O2 name, I think its kind of tacky

Plus some bands already think "The Academy" is already called "The o2 Academy" like numerous venues over in the UK

For practicality sakes, as in helping the building costs, I wouldnt care what its called. Not often I say that.
