Bumpman, what about those fools to your left, the girl who actually talked on her mobile during it . . and they couldn't sing for sh*te either. My mate said something to her and then she tried to follow us out at the end!! The bars were closed during the performance weren't they . . probably at DR's request, and fair play to them for doing it, at least people weren't up and down like yo-yo's half the night and weren't getting p*ssed and shouting stupid stuff. Very respectful crowd all in all, lots of true fans, and after the December Vicar Street gig probably the best onei've been too. Woman Like a Man and Prague were amazing . . in fact WLAM almost left me speechless, my mates and I all just looked at each other at the end and nodded our heads in mutual respect for the great performance. I was really hoping he'd do Wooden Horse, Insane and Sand - Sand and Insane are my two favourite songs and I've never been to a gig where he has done them. Fantastic night though

great review darragh....hope everyone enjoyed it....oh and jeff buckley sang "be your husband, if you'll be my wife....", the song was written by a guy called Andy Stroud with the title "Be My Husband", I'm sure many decided to change it to suit themselves for example Jeff.....although Damo probably forgot to do it last night [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]

The girl on the phone, my God. She had some cheek! The whole corner turned. She was letting her friend hear the song, which was ok, but talking to her about it! Did the Toffee Pop girls follow you out or the phone one? You must have been sitting near me, as i was at the table infront of them. Sitting at table 13! I knew that'd be unlucky....The only place in the whole venue were there was people making noise, and singing terribly! Who the hell goes to a gig like that, and sings, out of tune, time and key with the performer. I didnt pay to hear them, and they wouldnt shut up. The only slight downside to an otherwise fantastic gig. Quote:

The other song during The Professor was "Child, Man, Silly Dog". Gig was fantastic. Crowd was really respectful and I was glad Damien got the two standing ovations that he deserved. "The Long Knives" (Sinead Martin's band) opened. They were pretty good, altho i got the feeling Sinead was holding back a bit. i think Sinead is the mother of Paddy Casey's little girl. She also sang at the Olympia gig on Damien's birthday. I could always remember Terry Sutton, Declan O'Rourke and some girl singing at that gig, but i couldn't remember her name. Unfortunately she's not on the recording of the gig, then last night as soon as I saw her I knew it was her (eh, I hope).

What a gig! Well impressed! Had no tickets and got 2 off the manager in the ticket office outside. Couldn't believe my luck! So happy... was a great gig! Pity I'll be away for the next one! Got 1 video on my camera last night and it was of the bit in Older Chests when Damo forgot the words (twice). I compressed it and uploaded it if you want to have a look. Sorry for the text across the video but hadn't got any full video editing software.

Was sitting at 22 - Toffee Pop girls didn't follow us out, girl on phone did. Her muppet mate beside her couldn't even clap in sync with the rest of the audience during the songs where they clapped. Two standing ovations were very much deserved aswell

I was stuck beside them. And although that was funny during Toffee Pop, they and their boyfriends sang BADLY through the whole show. Everyone infront of them seemed to be pissed off. The two girls were bearable, and at times funny. But their bf's couldnt sing to save their lives. And one o them wouldnt shut up shouting "Loneliy!", repeatidly. They didnt ruin it thought, as i was near enough to the speakers not to hear them too much. [/quote] i was near those girls too..and although it was funny for toffeepop they wreaked everyones head for the rest of it.. lisa wannabes..well i know theres lots of them including me..but i wouldnt selfishly ruin the rest of the gig for the everyone else with my cringeful bigheaded antics... its ok when its loud but they did it when it was real quiet and people just wanted to listen to damo.. they were prbably hoping damo would grab up onstage to be his new lisas |

It sounds like it's been a great gig. Lucky people all of you! and Miss Pink how cool that you finally had a chance to see him play live [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img] and WeeAngel, great that you managed to go after all, I felt so sorry for you after reading your earlier posts, but it all turned out fine.
I just listened to the audio of Damo forgetting the words to Older Chests, the same thing happened in Amsterdam in february. Lisa and Vyvienne had to tell him the words to his song! funny that it happened again, only this time the girls couldn't help him out [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img] |

It wasnt you that everyone is talking about. They were sitting at table 25 (third from the front, on the left). They sang and shouted throughout the whole gig. I didnt hear anyone in the balcony. The girl with the phone, was sitting to the left of the stage on the seats along the side wall, across from the Toffee Pop girls.Edited by: daol20

well, that was my third Damo gig, and i have to say that it was definitely the best!! WLAM was the amazing. i really felt a lot of anger from him last night.he's got those pedals really well sussed. I felt like weeping during Volcano cos its my absolutely fave, and it was annoying having those girls sing during it. did they not realise he was going to do all the parts himself? it kinda ruined his new twist on it with them singing along. and stupid people behind me singing [img]smileys/smiley7.gif[/img]. it wasnt so bad during the louder songs, but someone was actually singing along to Delicate. DELICATE!! can you believe it? and Cold Water just gets better. the only problem was people taking pictures during it. they had the whole show to take pics of him, why did they have to ruin the atmosphere by causing all those flashes? ok, rant over. did anyone else find Babylon hilarious? i dont think Damo sounds anything like David Gray, i dont know why people say that!so it was pretty funny that he played some. glad he played the rarer stuff like Toffee Pop.

I'd crucify them if they started singing delicate.I remember in february turning around to someone who was singing and going "yes i would like to hear damien sing and not you".In fairness though he stopped.

an absolutely, positively,truly, amazing top quality monumentally epic show, one of the seminal gigs of my lifetime. i wish everybody could've shared in the spectacle and good feelings that were eminating from vicar st last night. i loved every second, even the singing girls andthe toffee pop dude. oh yeah and did anybody else spot Mr.Rice hanging out in a camo jacket with the hood up during the long knives set?? (cunning disguise damo ,really!!!) |

i had my eyes closed for most of the gig....thought i was in heaven!! only thing that got to me was that i was sitting near the door at the back, in row A (the front) so there were constantly people walking out past us, it got really annoying! me and my friend had to sit apart, but i didn't really mind, i was on cloud 9! the crowd were better behaved than the Feb gig, but when some of the crowd started to clap near the end of the professor (before la fille danse)....i was like c'mon people do ye even know the song! i was blown away by Prague, and cheers darlin' was just brilliant, the bottle of wine was classic i cant remember who asked but wasn't it Sinead Martin who supported him? (well her band did)
