Hi!! I hope you are all well and not too hungover!
I reallllllly enjoyed last night...i'd say it was probably the best gig I have ever gone to..
We got really cool seats, quite close to the stage..
We arrived in to hear the last part of Glen's performance...I thought he was brill...it was funny when he commented about the noisy people moving to their seats and I liked the way he mentioned 2 families being made homeless every day...

Then Eddie came on stage... he seemed a bit annoyed with the sound for the first half hour or so...
He seemed in great form and had great interaction with the crowd...his voice is better than ever and he seems very comfortable in his own skin...he has grown so much since his early days in Pearl Jam when he used to hide behind his long hair.

I thought the crowd were amazing and really made the night special...everyone standing up and singing Jeremy, the Auld Triangle, Hard Sun....it was fcuking amazing!

Do any of you remember Immortality....maybe Ed sand this for Chris? after the song he threw his guitar down...

I also loved that most people stayed off their phones and just enjoyed the gig....being in the moment instead of tied to their smartphones!


David75....you are very lucky....are you Glen's bro?

After i did a lot of moaning about Ticketmaster last week when they released the Front Row seats i actually managed to get my hands on 2 Row A seats. Couldn't believe my luck. Anyway, i managed to sneakily record the Jeremy performance as best i could. Its amazing.....

as long as you enjoyed it that's all that matters.

It really was probably the best gig i've ever been too and i've seen every gig PJ have done in Ireland including Slane in 93. This one will stick with me for a while.....

This is probably the one and only time i took my phone out cause i had heard his versions with the strings were phenomenal and when he said Jeremy it was no brainer to try and record it.

It sounds amazing, can't wait for tomorrow!

David75, you lucky person, sounds unreal!

Jem123

Yes. A lot of women had to leave their large handbags in a bunch of unmarked plastic bags outside. It probably took them ages to identify their bag at the end of the night.

I think that was the best gig I have ever been to.. and I've been to a fair few! Still wired!

Never seen the level of security like that. NOt saying its a bad thing at all.
Go early, you will be searched properly, it will take time to get in. Women longer than men it seemed due to to less female security.

What an EPIC show. Definitely in my top 3. Not sure if the auld poem will go down as well in Cork mind you

I was so buzzed that I walked from Smithfield Luas station to The Half Way House in Cabra before I realised I was soaked.

Security: Yeah, tight but they were getting through them pretty quickly (Apart from the guy in front of me who refused to accept he couldn't go in with his hipster man-purse.)

@david75 that is absolutely amazing think its fair to say everyone here is jealous!

Are you Glen's cousin or brother? Think Ed said brother but he's been known to get things mixed up in the past

We're officially cousins but I grew up in his house. Always just been brothers. Unless we're fighting. Then it's cousins

I hope it's what he deserves.
I definitely thought the tickets were a bit dear, but after the gig, if they'd passed round a hat, I'd have emptied my wallet.
What a night!

That was Way way back:)

I've the Horn of Gondor on me here waiting for the Marquee tomorrow night after reading all the reports about Dublin. I tried to go, was even offered free tickets in the nearing hours, but there's just some jobs I can't get out of.

Anyway - In here, on Facebook, Twitter, everyone who was at the gig is raving about it, a lot of 'best gig ever' comments. Someone even started a thread about it on r/Ireland which has about 20 comments. I'm delighted that Dublin got that show, from the few videos I've watched, the crowd seem unreal. That snippet of Jeremy with the string quartet and the full of the 3 Arena belting out the chants is glorious.

Now for Cork - Will we get a 20 song set to make up for the energy expended in Dublin? I honestly don't care once I hear him sing, but the fact that Eddie has something like 9 days between Cork and his next show gives me hope of another long night.

Just got a "takedown" notice from YouTube. So the vid is no longer available. Ah well, It was good while it lasted

He's been doing 30 song sets for all his gigs, so it's more likely he'll have the longer one than a shorter one!

Anyone know the stage times for Cork please? What time did Glen H go on in Dublin? Doors are 6.30 but ticketmaster says 8pm which seems late given the curfew with the marquee. Looking forward to it based on the reviews here! Cheers

If anyone has a spare EV Irish flag badge I'll happily buy it off you. They sold out before I got to the merch

What time will Eddie go onstage in Cork? Same time as in Dublin I suppose?
