I will be there. Coming in from Chicago and hitting Atlanta Tuesday and Nashville Monday. Anyone know Alt good enough to recommend a good pregaming bar before the show?

I'll be there! This will be my 3rd Damien show. Pretty stoked. Got bored at work and put together a reasonable ideal set:
My Favorite Faded Fantasy Coconut Skins Cross-Eye Bear It Takes A Lot to Know a Man Cold Water The Animals were Gone Elephant Delicate The Greatest Bastard I Don’t Want to Change You Cannonball Then Go What if I’m wrong I Remember The Professor Creep Long Long Way Eskimo We shall see what happens |

Slice is a decent little place only a block or 2 from the venue. There aren't a lot of decent spots close to the venue.
And does anyone know the opener? |

doesn't look like there is an opening artist.
are there any parking decks near the venue? The Tabernacle website does not show a map with parking options.

There are 3-4 well-marked parking options right around the tabernacle (ie within 20 yards). Just drive around and you'll see them marked and people waving flags to get you to park there. I know the show is sold out, but it's a Tuesday night so parking should be around $10 for a deck

Hey guys,

PSA: Called the Tabernacle today (who knew - phone calls are still the easiest answer). There is NO OPENER and Damien goes on at 7:45pm sharp with a 9:45pm cut off. So tell your friends - show up late at your own peril.

will be hitting the road in about an hour. Is everybody heading straight to the venue or meeting somewhere before the show?
pretty excited about the show!

I'm so excited that I feel like I need a nap but I can't sleep and there's no time to.

So excited for my first show! I've been waiting more than a decade to see him live and tonight is the night. Am I correct in assuming this may be the only North American date without an opener? Not that I'm expecting a longer show, but it would be nice! I've always wanted to hear 'Woman Like A Man' live, so here's to hoping!

Thanks, Vere! Leaving soon, it's almost a 2hr drive for only 20 miles.

What an incredible show. Couldn't have asked for a better set, and seeing him solo just blew me away.
The girl who he picked for Cold Water killed it. Hard to believe she was just a random person out of the audience |

Great for your first show! Thanks for sharing! I loooove him solo, but I think we might get some songs with my bubba in NYC and Philly. Sad that there were no surprises. Would've liked it takes a lot...or camarillas. Hoping for varied set lists and looking forward to your reviews! Was he in good spirits and did he talk much? Or, say anything about the new album he worked on in January?

looks like Damien has not been practising any new songs I think people going to the shows have to push him and request It Takes a Lot... otherwise, he´s not gonna play it...
was gonna ask the same, did he mention anything about the new album?

So he randomly selects someone out of the crowd to sing with him? Maybe his assistant or someone scans the crowd prior to the show for someone. Otherwise, most of the ones I've heard on YouTube sound great. I guess all Damien Rice fans have great voices! |

funniest time was in Berlin when he asked for someone to sing Cold Water... and no one volunteered oh the germans

Most of them are terrible. None of them actually know the lines. The worst I've seen was the very drunk girl in Lokeren a couple of years ago.

The show was great!!!!!!! was really happy with the set list, but i agree, i would have loved to hear more songs from the new album.
The show had a bit of a weird/off introduction/start. Idk if it is something the Tabernacle does at every gig or if it was something Damien's people did. But a voice came out saying that the show would start in 5 minutes and started asking for us to basically turn out phones off and not to forget to enjoy the show and then the whole message repeated again and again until it started fading and then Damien came out. Idk just thought it was so unlike him. He seemed in a good mood and talked a little here and there. Right before singing IDWTCY he started talking about how sometimes we stay in a relationship even though things are not going well , and for some reason we just keep coming back to it, until eventually one of them realizes that he/she doesn't need it anymore and leaves. He mentioned an analogy about a bird in a birdcage and how then bird would fly out of the cage but then come back to it because it is comfortable there, it's familiar to it. Until the bird realizes he can be somewhere else and doesn't need to go back tothe bird cage. I hope i'm making sense, i'm not very good at explaining things I think he did get annoyed with the amount of people standing up to go take a piss. it was ridiculous!!!!! it was either having to pee or going to get drinks. Right before starting Women like a man he asked the audience that if they needed to take a piss to please do so right after a song ended, not in the middle of a song! (shouldn't people know this? smh) And i think right after he ended that song a mass of people leave their seats, i guess to go pee haha. And then he said he actually needed to take a piss himself so he stepped out of the stage for a bit. I thought the girl that sang Cold Water with him was ok. I like some other people don't like it when he asks people from the audience, it just doesn't do it for me. The girl seemed to be trying too hard at the beginning, it sounded even fake or forced to me. Towards the end she did do great and i actually enjoyed it. He didn't mention anything about a new record or working on new stuff . I saw on instagram that some people got to meet him after the show. Idk if anybody from here got a chance to do so. I had to leave right after it ended so i could be at work on time this morning. Overall, i thought it was a great show to start his tour. I think he could ever do wrong for me. I like that his hair is a little longer (like it better that way). I was able to record IDWTCY and Trusty and True so once i upload those on youtube i'll share the links here.
