Vere, are you not in Eire at the moment?

Moves-My-World 05-13-2014 06:18 PM

I'm eager to know why, after 7 years without a headline gig in Ireland, he has chosen tonight to return. I'm sure a big part of it is paying homage to Whelan's and what the place means to him personally, but I really hope that this could signify Damien's revival, even if it only leads to a smaller, home-based tour. As heartbroken as I am that I can't loiter around Wexford Street tonight, with or without a ticket, I really hope that all the true fans on here who are attending tonight enjoy this special gig and return with plenty of treats for us.

I am choosing to take it as an omen.

Carrroline, I totally just mentioned on twitter earlier I'm not sure if I should be sad or glad that everyone seems to have kept their phones away for the show. I hate when people have them out, but really, not even a single vine/instagram vid? :P

carrroline 05-13-2014 10:22 PM

:D
At first I was actually thinking 'these people don't deserve to be there, tweeting while he's still on stage', but then I was just glad to see at least a glimpse of it all ;)

One more, the best one so far.

mandarific 05-13-2014 10:42 PM

Aaand we have Album commentary:

https://twitter.com/johnmeaghermuso/...50690013806592

"autumn he says"

Could it be real? Do we dare actually fall into that trap again?

mandarific 05-13-2014 11:02 PM

Oops, I'm posting a whole bunch apparently. :)

We have video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t_7...ature=youtu.be

(why are people incapable of turning their cameras sideways while filming?)

EDIT: That vid continues onto this one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amJ4VqHmbhU

Delicate, beginning of Elephant are in pt 1, pt 2 has the rest of Elephant and Woman Like a Man

I also asked the girl who recorded it if he played anything new and she said "two new songs :) and new album out before end of year by looks of things. He said he's finalising what is going to be on it"

eva_arg 05-13-2014 11:36 PM

^thanks for the pics and videos, mandarific!! :)

Agent99 05-14-2014 12:29 AM

mandarific 05-14-2014 12:42 AM

Hahahahaha, thank the people that took them, I'm just over here in the states scouring the internet! :P

Speaking of, we have an article: http://www.hotpress.com/news/11552197.html

(Ahhh, hot press, who I will forever remember for that one sappy damo/lisa article.)

verenita 05-14-2014 02:05 AM

i`´m so silly... i couldn´t help relating autumn with our currsent season here in the south... which is autumn! that´s why it was hard for me to believe the post on twitter... now, my faith has come back :D

he played for 2.30 h! it must has been even more special that many of us thought in advance... people who attended... i´m even happier for you :)

hot press has also posted the setlist.

Glad you enjoyed it so much!

Can we take this as definite, do you reckon? HP reporting he said an album will be out in Autumn.

I'd say he's past the point of no return for the album. But I wouldn't be too sure it'll be released this autumn...

wow, made my day
