Pretty good, but it was like listening to a cd player, looks like damo lost his funnyness, or was just not in the mood to chit chat. It was 1.5 hours of song after song with the first 'hello' after 45 mins or so. The songs sound great as ever, though I was hoping for some more interaction.
I'll put up some pics later. |

Well I paid 90 EUR for a ticket at the door and my thoughts in hindsight are I would of paid double that. It was BRILLIANT.
I'm going TOUTING tomorrow night to buy another. If anyone out there has a spare ticket and can save a true diehard fan from waiting outside for a ticket please notify me. gODLY |

yeah damien wasn't in as good a mood as the last time I saw him (Montreal July last). Or else he just wanted to be efficient with his time. He didn't do much talking but the new songs were fantastic. As usual there was all that heckling shíte! "I want to have your babies" and so on.
I don't think I'm ever going to see him again the way it was in Montreal. It was quiet, very little heckling and very little singing along. |

I thought the gig was great. Was with the woman so I was all happy holding her, listening away.... just enjoying it. There were a couple of head wreckers to the left of the stage, shouting, laughing through certain bits of songs when they shouldn't have been, etc. but you get over that.
There were a few funny bits, interacting with Damo. Not as many as I've seen before. I was at his solo gig in vicar street about 2 years ago when he forgot the words to older chests. That was a more intimate gig I think. I agree with soda... there was very little singing along and very little movement in the crowd. A lot of people around me didn't know songs like the professor or blowers daughter part 2, etc. I had great fun singing to the professor! There were a few songs I hadn't heard before. I'll agree that I thought Accidental Babies was excellent. One of the best from the night. Got a few laughs and stuff. Anyway, I recorded Volcano and The Blowers Daughter. I'm uploading to YouTube at the moment and will post up a link for anyone who wants to see. All in all... worth the 80 yoyos I forked out for each ticket!!! Cheeurs, Dave |

I thought it was adaquate at best. Only BD pt 2., Insane, My My Yoke And I, The Professor and Cold Water and one of the songs I'd never heard before really grabbed me. Everything else just kinda seemed to miss something.
Joel Shearer is a hell of a guitarist and he did add something to those songs mentioned above.

Don't suppose you happened to tape "Is That It My Friend?"
Insane was amazing. I hope Damien has changed his mind about not having it on the album.

i have to disagree with Ian im afraid... I felt it was a fantastic gig apart from the hecklers. One of the highlights for me was Nine Crimes and also Insane.
In terms of new stuff really loving "Coconut Skin" as we seem to be calling it..

It was certainly lacking something - possibly the spontenaeity (and the spelling!), the intimacy and the intensity that I've become accustomed to at a Damien gig. Don't get me wrong - It was a very enjoyable show, just lacked a certain magic that usually weaves it's way through a night with Damien.

I was wondering if the second new one you mention could be Coconut Skin, u mention 'cold in our skin' which sounds similar to 'coconut skin'... and indeed you seem to have a tiny bladder |
