Neutral Milk Hotel - Vicar Street - 16th May 2014

TimeToShine · 15-05-2014 1:26pm

I've never been either but I hear it's a nice quiet spot. Is there a bar or smoking area beside the standing spot? Can you access them if you're seated does anyone know?

There is a bar to the left as you enter, not sure about a designated smoking area to be honest ,the bar is right across from the actual venue. The bar is accessible from all areas I would presume.

It said it on the ticket as well, we're better off. I'd rather not have a sea of iPads and iPhones blocking my view!

I have a 'balcony standing' ticket. Anyone know what this section is like? Any restricted viewing etc?

Never been in the balcony, but I don't think there is any beams blocking views. Any more Vicar Street enquiries, happy to answer them all

. Kind of jealous I'm not going, to those that are enjoy.

The problem with the balcony standing ticket is if you don't get a spot right in front of the barrier, it can be difficult to see if people are in front of you, unless you are much taller than them, as you are, in effect looking down at the stage, not up as you would be from the floor.

If anyone has a standing ticket on the balcony, I find that standing centrally behind Block E, that the sound is very good there, that there's a nice full sound at that position.

really looking forward to this gig! i'm not from Dublin and i've never been to Vicar St. before, what's the general are like at night? is it the kind of place you wouldn't want to be walking at night?

It takes about a 15 minute walk to the venue, on Thomas Street, from the Westmoreland St - Dame Street area up towards Lord Edward Street and High Street near Christchurch.

The Dublin Buses; numbers 13, 40 and 123, that pick up on O'Connell Street all stop at the bus stop on Thomas Street

Anyone know any good pubs near Vicar St.? Wouldn't mind a few pints before heading in as I got to Dublin pretty early!

I like the Lord Edward on Christchurch Place (but only if you're in a crowd).

Support sounds boring, think I'll pass.

Questions;

Did the support artist play with them on stage?

Did they play new stuff?

Was that long abstract sort of tune, and the one that followed, not new? I was sure Jeff mentioned it afterwards, could be wrong mind.

Looking back I think you might be right, I think that woman was his wife.

ciaranf92 · 17-05-2014 12:30pm

The woman was Laura Carter, who was a session musician when they recorded In the Aeroplane Over The Sea

WatchWolf · 17-05-2014 2:26pm

I'm 90% sure it was Astra Taylor (Jeff's wife).

Yeah pretty sure it was her alright, she's not bad at all!

iamanengine · 17-05-2014 2:56pm

That was truly something. Did anyone see near the end of the last song before the chorus when Jeff seemed to stick his two fingers up at someone?? Anyone else see that? Thought it was curious .

That really was amazing though, Oh Comely was an experience in itself!

I saw it, there was a guy near me who spent at least half the gig taking photos with his DSLR and iPhone and looking at a setlist from another gig. He barely watched the gig itself. It was very distracting, and annoying.

Someone else got a stern talking to by the security when they were filming.
