    I honestly don't understand why they bother saying credit card booker must attend / will be checked etc.

    It's to deter touts.

    Thanks to padraigh.od on here for a tip off that a reddit user was selling for Friday night - I’m sorted :)

    They are going in though at 4:30/5 and I will have to go in with her and her friend, it’s a bit early. Anyone know if one can leave and re-enter? I’d like to go meet some friends, grab a bite and a pint somewhere and then go back in at around 7.

    The doors don't open till 7pm, Doesn't sound like olympia are checking either. Are you sure you understood them right, sounds like they might not be aware of the potential ticket check thing, and want to meet you early to get the ticket sold, done & dusted and they head off to eat or go to another pub.

    Unless they plan on queueing to get at the front or something. In which case I would ask bouncers if you can head off, acting like you know the girls just to be sure.

    Oh yeah, of course, forgot that. Thanks. Too late to text now but I’ll text her tomorrow to clarify. Herself and her friend are going to the gig themselves. Must clarify.

    A combination of things. Several people watching the majority of the gig through their phone as well as several aggressive pillheads. I moved a few times but kept encountering muppets wherever I went. One guy kicked my leg because he was trying to move in front of me while carrying pints. Just generally not a nice vibe from the sections I was in.

    I’m not a massive set list checker, was expecting at some point to scream me head off to it, I do not feel short changed

    And of the new stuff? What did they get through?

    DPIPIMH not being played is a boon. Hopefully same applies on Friday.

    Interested in this too - hoping they play oh baby on Thursday, but since they haven’t played it live yet, it’s probably unlikely.....unless they played it tonight...

    I saw they played Losing my Edge tonight - would be happier hearing that over Daft Punk

    That was an amazing gig. I was up in the upper circle and the whole place was dancing the whole time.
    I'm not sure about the iffy crowd but from where I was sit was amazing.

    Yeah i think they're not likely to play it.

    If they played oh baby or how do you sleep the place would be destroyed.

    I sometimes think they have no idea what they have on their hands sometimes.

    Great gig tonight, I would agree the crowd was a bit strange, I don't think there was any support act? I was in the bar!
    Started just after 9 and was finished at 11,
    The set list was very similar to the London gig listed in this irish times article,

    No check on the door, the bouncer asked my gf I assume that is you when he checked the name on the ticket, she just said yes and that was it!

    https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/music/lcd-soundsystem-at-the-olympia-everything-you-need-to-know-1.3230241?mode=amp

    Finishing with Dance yrself clean and All my friends was epic!

    they finally copped on

    I'd love to explain why this comment feels ill informed to me but this isn't the place for it. If you care ask me over on Toutless.

    As it happened.. I walked in with my tickets and no request for cards or ID. I can't make any reliable prediction if this will be the same for the next couple of gigs or not and anyone making a claim based on their own tiny sample size would also be wrong to do so.

    Great gig with two solid hours without any let up. My only complaint is the sound was pushed to distortion leaving Murphy's vocals muddyfor a lot of it. The Tripod gig had some of the clearest sound I had heard and there is just no comparison. Still great to see them again and I'd go again if I could in a heartbeat. Next couple of days are in for a treat.

    Fantastic gig, loved every minute of it. I just managed to get a ticket for the upper circle, but it was actually great - stage view was grand when I was standing, and right next to the toilets too which is always handy.

    Crowd was great where I was. Fella behind me was being a bit obnoxious and roaring ****e and had his poor friends heart broke beside him, telling him constantly to shut the fucc up haha.

    Nice mix of old and new stuff. The tracks off American Dream are immense live, really enjoyed them. Dancing my heart out to Dance Yrself Clean and All My Friends will stay with me for a long time. I'd been considering selling my ticket the past few days because I've been feeling unwell, but delighted that I pushed through and went!

    I was there too - thought the atmosphere in the Upper Circle was wonderful. My ears are ringing now as much from the crowd as the band.
    Terrific gig. Hearing 'Losing My Edge' was a highlight. A show of many highlights. The band are amazing.

    Ya, sound was mental. Haven't had ringing this bad in a long time.
    Amazing gig though. Movement and Losing my Edge were the highlights for me.

    No real surprises. Pretty disappointed in that regard that the setlist hasn't changed much since the first gig on September 7th.

    Ah well!

    When the songs are that strong and played so well, it makes no difference. Would love to have heard 'Yr City's a Sucker' last night but was having so much fun that I only realised they didn't play it on my way home in the car.

    Were there pit passes? What time would people recommend getting there on Friday if we want to get a good spot close to the front?
