This man in Temple Bar must be brilliant. Did he play to 240000 people over the weekend?

no, was bout 60.

was unreal tho. was actually going to phone the bar to find out more bout him. if he would be up this direction some time in the future!

U2 in Lansdowne Rd on the night princess Diana died. Unreal concert. Last weekends concets were almost as good though.

One of my mates was working as a bellboy in the Clarence Hotel that night, Naomi Campbell was staying with a shit load of stars. When she got word Diana had dies she broke down and my mate had to carry her to her room and 'comfort' her for about 20 mins. Dont know if he dropped the paw or not.

I saw Pearl Jam at Southside Festival in Germany 2 years ago and it was head and shoulders the best gig I was ever at. After that..

New model Army 07 in Temple Bar
ACDC in Punchestown was top notch
System of a Down at Ozzfest a couple of years ago were some craic
Tool at Ozzfest same year was unreal

Best gig I was at, by a long deep puff, was the Grateful Dead, 3 nights x 4 hour sets at Alexander Palace London in mid 70's
A few of us wandered innocently into the soundcheck jams a few days beforehand and didn't leave until 5 days later.
There was a c&w singer with us, he ended up on stage during the soundchecks singing Whisky in the Jar while the band picked up the tempo.

Went to a few music festivals but not really my scene. Though Van Morrison, Captain Beefheart and Tim Buckley in the afternoon over 2 Knebworth festivals stand out.
