Birmingham Gig NIA
This was a such a good gig. He was in a fairly chatty mood, telling the stories about Coconut Skins, I Remember, Childish - absolutely hilarious. And he played my 3 favourite non album songs - Professor, Childish and BABY SISTER, which was beautiful. The stage performance and lights and everything was almost reminiscent of a Pink Floyd gig! And at this one point, Brandon/Brendon and Joel were both drumming this real funky stuff together. And strangely Damo did the cannonball unplugged thing,. but the thing is this venue was absolutely massive, luckily i was sitting right near the stage. But overall great, great gig

I don't know
The gig was the best I have ever seen from him also i would chance one of the best gigs of my life. Performance was great, Childish was a treat as always just like Unplayed Piano.the only low was the guy who started barking out loud in the middle of the unplugged cannonball. it was great to chat with vyv BUT can't believe after seeing him a few weeks ago in new york things will be so different damien became a travelling circus.the whole atmosphere of the gig, outside of his performance was just bull**** and plastic. only 1 Irish band would live up to this expectation and that is U2. and that is something i never thought i would say of damien rice. whether he'll go down on this stadium road, which i am sure is great money and looses all human touch and soul with his fans or will come to his senses....hope he'll do at least he'll have time to think about it now

I can't believe I missed this gig given I live less than an hour away and I didn't buy a ticket months ago thinking I'd not be in the country. I hate you all with the upmost jealousy

Can you say more about this? What did you mean a travelling circus? What did we all miss?
