Ditto. Let us know if that happens. I was pretty shocked at how quickly that gig sold out too. Its amazing really, not one poster up around town, or billboard or even a radio spot and they still sold out.

I called ticketmaster that morning at about 9.05 - the person I spoke to had no idea about the gig. He told me it wasn't registering on the system....would love to have seen them.

Tp all who have the golden tickets...enjoy!

Can't miss this. Hope they add more dates.

Think they would have had no problem selling out the O2, or at least very close to it.

Well next Tuesday at the Olympia is rapidly approaching really looking forward to this gig !

John Oates has confirmed that the show will be filmed for a live DVD release, Daryl must have been mighty impressed 20 years
for them to film the first live appearance by the duo together in Ireland.

They played for about 1:45. The entire place was hopping and bopping from the minute 'maneater' began. Have a ball!

Awesome, thanks!

amazing gig

I've been waiting for this gig for a long long time. Put they did not disappoint. My hearing hasn't quite returned yet. Sleeping with this ringing in my ears will not be easy!!!

Would love to be going to another one!!

Excellent gig!

A lady, after the show, who had managed to get the setlist, allowed me to get a photo of it, and I include it here,

I like that it has Dublin hand written on it, and not typed!:)

(I got a pic of another setlist that someone managed to get and it was the same as this, with Dublin as if handwritten on it and the markings, so I guess each of the set lists onstage were identical, and maybe each one I saw were photocopied from an original, for each of the band members?)


Hopefully they'll be back soon enough!

Classic stuff. Can't imagine the atmosphere been better, even in the 80s.

I've been at a few things that were made into DVDs and never seen that level of production. There were huge white video monitor / recording trucks, with mixing decks and all sorts of stuff down at the back of the Clarence recording it all. We walked down that way afterwars heading for Zaytoon (where else ) and all the folks from the trucks were coming out from them high fiving each other, like they had just won the lottery

Not surprised at all, as you couldn't ask for a better and more responsive crowd.

How is Daryl 67? Madness and it's not like he's had an easy life. Been battling Lyme disease for a bunch of years now.

Anyway, I hope they come back very soon. Felt like I was in a time machine tonight. Amazing gig.

Killer show, with an enthusiastic crowd that fitted the occasion. In relation to the setlist, someone in the pit shouted for Family Man early on, prompting Daryl to do it. They've not been playing it at all on the current tour and they absolutely nailed it.
They've tended to slightly change the set around every night, but testament to how great the gig was is the amount of alternate songs they could have done from recent shows (It's a Laugh, Did It In a Minute, Adult Education, Alone Too Long) and yet nobody could feel short-changed.

Sugarlumps

There performance was amazing, and as someone mentioned Hall is 67 and Oates is 65. It was fantastic to see them in a small sized venue, band were shít tight. Hopefully they'll return soon, songs really stand the test of time.

My only criticism, I was standing left of the mixing desk, sound was slightly muddled. The drums were really low down in the mix. I wish they were doing it all over again tonight.

The filming notice stated that "filming and sound recording is taking place in connection with the production of a television programme (Daryl Hall and John Oates)". Eagle Rock Entertainment are doing it, so that sounds good, they have released many different live dvds and blue rays.

Does this sound like they're doing a documentary?

It'd be great if they released a dvd or blu ray of last night.

Superb concert - they promised to return to Dublin so fingers crossed !

peterobrien100

Still floating after the concert it was superb once the sound was sorted out after the first two songs you could really hear the vocals lead and backing and musicianship shine ! Family Man was a nice surprise highlight of the night for me was Do What You Want spine chilling ! I really cant wait for this dvd ! Great atmosphere in the Olympia hopefully we have made a good lasting impression and they will return as a duo again sooner rather than later.

This worked very well in the cinema last night, thought they should have had the sound up louder. I like the way that it's shot. A lot of the angles looking out onto the audience from the back of the stage or from the side really give an impression of what the show is like from the artists' perspective.
