Foo Fighters, RDS, Wed 21st August

PTH2009

Liking the new additions to the setlist

Saw a kind of greatest hits setlist in Manchester last year. They done a love will tear us apart/Imagine/Jump/Blitzkrieg Bop Jam that night and a cover of under pressure with Hawkins on vocals

Looking forward to next week now

Hot milk and Frank Carter sound alright too

Me.

Currently Pitch 1 tickets up on TM if anyone is still trying to get them. They are resale tickets and you'll pay about a €15 premium with the usual TM added bullsh!t fees but it's still better than the previous Seatwave insane prices.

Heading to RDS next week, from Cork - cannot believe the boys are putting this gig on specially for my Birthday (let me dream...………) Seriously excited haven't seen them since 1997 at V97, Chelmsford, London. Every time they've played in Ireland I've not been able to go to wherever for some other reason. At last...…………….. what a perfect way to spend your birthday - I'm going to be jumping high when they play "Pretender" ………..:P

I remember Placebo and the Prodigy but I also remember having to leave the Foo's a bit earlier than I wanted to see somebody who was clashing - for the love of me I can't remember who? V97 was a brill festival - and being able to get train home later just made it perfect. Mind you coach to/from Dublin from Cork is livable too. Unlike EP where I have to stay the weekend (thankfully Pink Moon) :P

E-mail from Ticketmaster today - "This event is 16 years and over ONLY." I checked on the MCD site and it says, "Please be advised that the Foo Fighters concert in Belfast is an Over 16s event. With this, children below this age may be accompanied by a parent/guardian over the age of 25 years old." I hope we don't get any hassle at the gate. Our kids can't wait for the gig...

Are you accompanying and over 25?

Yes. The Ticketmaster email contradicts the MCD website though...

Jesus pitch 2 would be awful but not too far from the stage but the prob is people literally with their backs to the stage not giving a **** what's going on. Obv would be the same in other areas

Not sure would Foos attract event junkies but sure a day out in Dublin and Learn to fly

I thought it was over 14s only, with under 16s being accompanied

Post Malone the next day is called golden circle.
If I were paying for a golden circle I’d expect to be in a tiny pit right at stage - not an area that goes back half of the arena.

In reality that area will be nearly half empty because the crowd in there will push up the front. You'll be able to stand comfortably about 10-15 metres from the band while everyone in pitch 2 is squeezed up against their barrier behind you.

That’s exactly what my hope is.

What outdoor gig that has thousands through the gates not let in a percentage of event junkies. The promoters rely on them to push towards selling out.

Wasn't exactly Foos in end think it was Dave, Rick Ashley (on drums) and someone else and only played about 5 songs.

A certain Thin Lizzy song appeared in the Glasgow setlist last night

Getting Foo Fighters off my bucket list on Wednesday, cannot wait. Should easily be the top gig by the end.
