Spiritualized, 10 August, National Concert Hall (!)

Presumably the bus will drop you off along the quays, so you've got all of Westmoreland Street, Grafton Street to choose from. Loads of options there from the fast food places to the Green Hen and Peploes.

There's an Indian on South Anne Street which I haven't been to yet, but everyone I know who has raves about it.

Great gig. It was my first time at the NCH and I think it's a really nice venue.

That was brilliant! Stay with Me was so beautiful. Was hoping for Hey Jane as an encore but oh well

cop shoot cop and broken heart highlights for me..encore was ill-advised..would have loved let it flow to be played but overall ranks up there as one of the best musical experiences ever..

I enjoyed the gig even the encore! cool wave was the highlight for me.
It was noticeable though that a number of people arrived into the venue long after the gig started missing quite a few songs

Ill advised? Out of Sight is probably my favourite track of theirs and it's rare that they can play it these days as he rarely has that big of a band. Ohh Happy Day has been a staple of their live sets for a long time. I loved it

I'll advised maybe a bad choice of words.I wasn't familiar with Out of Sight ,happy days I dont rate that much..anyway minor complaints on my behalf..performance of l&g was flawless.

Absolutely stunning! The full-on psych-rock band/strings/horns/gospel choir experience really blew me away. Great to hear such a classic album in this way & indeed at the NCH. Also- what a bass player :eek:

I had high hopes for this & was delighted it didn't disappoint. Up there with my all-time most amazing gigs.

Rigor Mortis

Not a huge fan of the band but wow that was some gig. Amazing hearing really good music played in a venue which really lends itself to the experience.

I could have written the above word for word - mind-blowing concert, and amazing venue.

I can't recall being at a concert where the sound mixing was so perfect - you could pick out every instrument.

If they are doing a similar production anywhere in the future, I'll be aiming to get to it.
