    Was at The National too and thought it was great.

    The sound at the 3Arena has been brilliant the last few times I've been there. They must have done something to improve it over recent years

    Some people think its a terrible venue and the sound is crap, Malahide is a better venue someone was saying this week. lol

    Alot can depend on the sound engineer, a good one can make a huge difference getting the balance right ensuring that the bass isnt overpowering.

    Its a great venue, we are lucky to have it, best venue in the British Isles in my opinion along with the Hydro in Glasgow.

    I thought drums were too loud / relative to vocals during Soccer Mommy but generally 3 Arena sound has come on leaps and bounds...

    The drums were setup very close to singer though.

    Agree on The Hydro. That and the Birmingham Symphony Hall are both great venues.

    Bass was lost in the mix as were the guitars on certain songs. New songs were very clear.

    I don't think it was an amazing setlist, first night of their homecoming fest gig was like the perfect one for me.

    Also not a fan that recently they've shortened about today and fake empire outros.

    Matt was high energy and sounded good. Drummer is excellent.

    6/10

    Ah thanks, Seath. On my way now, probably won't get anyone at this stage. That's a shame. Yeah, will be a great night I'm sure, 'I want too much' start to finish plus another 50 minutes of the good stuff on top, by all accounts. A veritable celebration of middle aged Irish manhood. I'm giddy at the prospect.

    Enjoy. Very envious. A bad one to miss but I’ll live it vicariously through you.

    New Order were excellent last night in the 3 Arena. Great encore with Atmosphere, Transmission and Love Will Tear Us Apart. Other standouts for me were Your Silent Face, True Faith, and Blue Monday. Wonderful.

    Sound and visuals brilliant. Real mix of ages at it too.

    I thought New Order were phoning it in a bit. Sound wasn’t perfect too. Musically great though and they played Tutti Frutti unexpectedly, which is a banger.

    Sound was perfect from where I was and New Order were loving it. One of my favourite ever gigs. I can't stop singing regret today, even though they didn't play it ha

    I was standing centre, near the front. It was loud but clear. I wear earplugs occasionally during concerts to protect my hearing, and even with them in it was clear. I take them out for the songs I really want the full effect on. Bernard Sumner is not the best singer ... think the concert flagged early but really took off about 1/2 way through. First time seeing them, and to me they have a lot of great singles and a lot of filler, but last night + the Joy Division songs made it a very memorable concert for me.

    An absolute mystery how after 15 years it still suffers from poor sound.

    It really doesn't. Sound is excellent in the Point.


    In saying that there was no sound engineer in the booth at the start of Confidence Man and their mikes, were far, far too high
