What kind of demand can be expected for all the UK shows? I'd like to set-up a trip around the UK dates but only Warehouse members with European addresses can purchase tickets, so I don't know if I'd be able to get tickets.

[Byggare_Bob]

So who's going to the shows? I'll be going to the one in Dublin!

[Bbynrse]

OK..i know i'm not the only one that stayed up to buy tix's...how'd y'all do??? unfortunately my travel mates all backed out so i'm traveling solo, not a new thing for me, but i'd love to meet up with some ants in dublin and or belfast...I can't wait!! y'all have a good night!

[superfint]

I'd say your tierd!!!Fair play for staying up & Going solo!

Looks Sold out now -the Dublin show,35 minutes!!
I couldnt get any floor seats at all-twas getting 10 Tickets for mates,BAlcony best i could get.

WH better "Hook me up" with a nice floor seat-god knows they get enough money off me as it is!

[meggieprice]

Hooray! We got our tickets to both shows- I am so happy- my husband has never been to EUrope, and though I lived in Enland for two years 33 years ago I have never been to Ireland. I want to meet Ants Galore.

We are Block E Row H in Dublin- wacky looking seating chart but seem decent... and for Belfast Block A Row 4!

[firedancer41dmb]

meggie, adopt me, please! i told zach to ask you...

[superfint]

Yeah loads of Belfast ones left-good Seats too.
I have completly put my faith in the WH-fingers crossed they "Hook me up"!!
Not a bad seat in the place-so you should have a good one Meggieprice!
I have already got 2 or 3 mates ,Die hard Irish fans,who couldnt get a ticket.This is what i was afraid would happen!

Anyone thinks they have a spare- Let Le Fint know!!

[jimithing1221]

I set my alarm for 5 am instead of 4 am, and now the show is sold out! Anyone ever looking to sell, please think of me. Two tickets, ANYWHERE in the venue.

[Isilinde]

[zand]

Just got my tickets for the waterfront! the acoutics in there are pitch perfect. im pumped. daves finally coming to ireland! you have no idea how many people have been waiting for this day for years and years!! i flew to manchester to see him for the first time last may...i've never been to a better gig. hopefully this is the begining of him coming more often after years of only ever the ocasional wee gig in london. does anyone know if timmy is coming with him?? i know they changed it from 'dave solo european tour' to 'dave european tour'?? hmmm...heres a hoping.

[fkavanagh]

I live 2 hours south in Waterford and have been waiting for this gig since 1994. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I went onto ticketmaster an hour ago and sold out. I cant believe it

I seriously underestimated the power of DM.

When I saw the dates my concern was not about getting a ticket but about dave selling enough tickets and the gig going ahead. What a fool am I.

Got a ticket for Belfast but Cant believe he sold out in Dublin and so fast. The place is no sitting room, it is a large enough venue.


Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

If any of thoses ten are available give me a shout

[mattward2k]

Never underestimate the thirst of the Irish for singer-songwriters, you practically launched the career of David Gray and Damien Rice :p

[Bbynrse]

Hooray! We got our tickets to both shows- I am so happy- my husband has never been to EUrope, and though I lived in Enland for two years 33 years ago I have never been to Ireland. I want to meet Ants Galore.

Anyone know how the seat numbers run for belfast? i got seat 22 and i'm just wondering...left, right, center? well...off to work after only about 4hrs sleep.....it was totally worth it! happy friday all!

[Luke1981]

And that sign of mine has gotten me a drumstick from Carter and recognition by Dave. It has been good to me. :)

Looking forward to meeting you there. Shoreline was a great time, wasn't it?

[Byggare_Bob]

Yeah, I've got friends in Scotland right now (and one of them will be in Ireland in February) ... so I thought "what better time to visit them?"
hehe

Stayed up until 3 am to get some good seats, and I was rewarded for my dedication. :D

My friend in Dundee has never seen Dave or DMB and I've also got a friend coming with me who hasn't either. :)

[jackstraw169]

me and my wife will be going to dublin...anyone from canada going to this?
wife was born in dublin and will be great to have a tour guide :)

That is so funny we got seats so close to each other in Ireland- so many miles away from Shoreline- the serendipity of life.

It will be good to connect!

Block A Row 4 seats 3-5- on the side but nice and close! I was on the side and that close in Santa Barbara and it was awesome....:monkey

[Lorentzen]

This is soooo cool. I'm going with some friends. We all got our WH tickets for both Dublin and Belfast - I really hope the seats are good ones. When I saw Dave Solo in London I was very far away from the stage. But then again it was fine, because then I didn't have to sit next to those drugged up fans that were fighting. I really hope none of that happens this time, and Dave can relax and enjoy his own show :)

Ahhh SB N2, i had to get up and leave my 11th row b/c some drunk girl kept falling on me!! totally ruined my D&T show...thankfully the little usher let me go up into that little gated area off to the side. the view wasn't as great b/c of the angle but at least no one was falling on me!

I can't wait for this trip though, been trying to go to ireland for a few years and what better excuse to use than a DM solo show. i just booked my hotel in belfast, opted to pay a bit more to stay at the hotel right next to venue for pure convience. :multi

Can anyone tell me, what is the best way to get from dublin to belfast? i figured i'd just hop a train.

Good stuff.Train or Bus,Train only about 2 hours 20minutes am told.
Bus much cheaper,but I'd train it if i were you.Thats what am doing

[flying_gibbon]

I am looking for 2 tickets to Dublin...I am studying abroad in Ireland next semester, so it would basically make my semester to have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see Dave in Europe...if anyone has a pair or knows of anyone looking to sell a pair for the Dublin show, PLEASE PLEASE e-mail me at finok@bc.edu!!!

Sorry bud,but if you really want to go to the Dublin show i think Ebay will be your only way.
Loads of Irish didnt get tickets,i really doubt anyone who were lucky enough to score tickets will have spares.Same with amsterdam show.
Still Belfast tickets tho,don't think many PPl from the republic were up for going to Belfast for the show.

Good luck to ya tho!:thumbsup

[zand]

the easiest way to get to belfast from dublin airport is the air coach from i think stand 9, just out side the main entrance. it takes just over 2 hours, check out www.aircoach.ie. if you want to get the train you may have to go back into dublin and then back out to belfast which in just a waste of time because you'll go south first to go north. the bus will drop you off beside jurys hotel in the city centre. its about 10 minute (longer with bags) to the waterfront hall if thats near where your hotel is (is it the hilton?). the city centre really isnt very big, and its dead easy to find your way around. if anyone is getting the train, central station is right by the waterfront hall which is where the dublin train stops i think. hope you enjoy belfast...your in for a treat the waterfront is a fantastic venue.

I'll actually be in dublin for a few days so i wouldn't be leaving from the dublin airport so would it just be easier to get a train in the city to belfast? i'm staying at the hilton in belfast.

Train or bus Station,both real easy to get to in Dublin City.
Train faster/more expensive,buses cheaper-a wee bit longer tho.

I'm staying in Dublin, maybe at a dorm. We are thinking of renting a car, but how long time will it take by train from Dublin to Belfast. And; can we catch a train back to Dublin after the Dave show in Belfast

[Byggare_Bob]

Starting to regret that I only requested tickets for the Dublin show... :(

You won't make the last Train from Belfst to Dublin on the night of Daves show,unless you want to miss the end of the show!
Last train around 10.15pm i think.
It takes about 2hours and 15 mins max too get from Dublin to Belfast.

You could rent a Car tho,and drive up.Havn't a clue how long it would take,I'll ask some mates that drive & let you know soon tho.

Hey friends, I am still on the improbable quest for Dublin (and OXford, if you have spares!!) tickets for next year.

I very much doubt you're going to find spares now, especially to those shows as they proved 2 of the most popular.

Pretty much you're only option at this stage is to pay about $200 a ticket on eBay, mostly thanks to scalping and your crappy dollar :p

[Byggare_Bob]

Made flight reservations for Gothenburg>Dublin today! It's gettin close :)

[Byggare_Bob]

I'm getting to the point where I want to make hotel reservations in order to complete my whole Dave trip.

fint, do you know any good hotels close to the venue or located really really good in Dublin?

The Clarion and Hilton are the closest to the Point. The Clarion is very nice and would be less expensive.

Thanks but I was talking about the solo show on Feb 26th @ the National Hall. Sorry for my cloudy question above :freak

[superfint]

Regarding where to stay in Dublin,well am not to sure since i usually travel home from Dublin or crash at a mates house/flat.

Heres a link to an irish message board -http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054941710&referrerid=&highlight=b+b+hostel+dublin
With some links and that for places to stay in Dublin.I'd imagine if ye just get a place to stay in the city centre be best-you can get to the venue's easy enough via Taxi or whatever(The National Stadium for Daves solo show a bit further out of the city,The Point for the DMB show is like an easy 10 minute walk from central dublin).

Maybe try get a hostel or B&B in Temple Bar if possible-its a pretty kool Central spot in the city-lots happening there all the time-pubs galore !!!
The Place was absolutly kicking on New years eve!!!Awesome time!!

Hope this helps ye out,if anyone has any other Questions or wants me to look/check something out-give me a shout & i will try help out.

Happy New Year!!!Dave in Europe is edging closer!!:)

I've managed to find a friend who's coming along so there's no need to contact the WH. I'll be there rockin' the house!

Figured I'd contact my hotel agent at work tomorrow and ask for a centrally located hotel. Should I ask specifically for a hotel in the Temple Bar area?

Dude,whats up?!
The WH Wrote back and said "No Name Chages Whatsoever"-frek i forgot to Let you know!Sorry!!Glad to hear your coming over n the other hand!!

Yeah- try for Temple Bar area if your up for some craic,close to everything,transport shopping,pubs,etc-class place to stay.

Whatever suits your price range too,am sure it will be expensive enough to stay in the city,knowing Dublin is just way over the top more expensive than anywhere else here in Ireland!

.Just make sure you get something in the City-not on the outskirts of the city.You'll be grand!:thumbsup

Don't worry about it dude. I'm coming and that's the most important thing :)

Close to shopping and pubs eh? Sounds like a place for me to stay at :D . Anyway, I'll put some faith in my hotel agent and see what she comes up with. I love when you send her flowers and tell her how much she means to you every now and then and she gives you the net net price without any extra fee's :cool

Me and my friend are looking to try out a bunch of beers in Dublin. Do you know a good place for that? ;)

No problem lad,i don't mind at all.I got tons of Help from People/Ants/Warehousers whenever i was heading to the states to see the Band,so am shocked & delighted i can Return the favour with Dave & The Guys heading over here to the Land of Potatoes this year!!! ;)

I've narrowed it down to the following hotels in Dublin (Temple Bar area). You got any thoughts on any of the hotels.

George Frederic Handel
Parliament
Blooms
Eliza Lodge

They're all 3-star Superior Tourist Class Hotels.

Hmm,all seem good,had a look at them,heard of 2 of them.

Depends on your budget lad,but if your going all out i think Eliza Lodge would be a good choice,Penthouse rooms- a mate of mine was there for a work night out in dublin & said was class.
Blooms looks good value for money,nicely located too-as is the George Frderic Handel(But more Expensive again).

Parliament Hotel-well,looks fairly Flashy Dosent it??!
All good choices,go for whichever suits ya best!
If you are on a tight Budget you should look into Hostels too,cause i heard on average they are Decent,but usually are booked up quiet often fast.

[zand]

any idea who is opening up for dave during febuary in ireland? i really hope they give some local folk a wee chance to shine. I would be pumped if they got foy vance to open in belfast, he opened for gomez up here not so long ago and pretty well stole the show. check out foy vance - gabriel and the vagabond on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4cjCuUQUwI

Probably but that would be sweet :cool

[superfint]

would Damain Rice be too much to ask for?? Is he too high up supstart charts now?

Hahahaha,his Ego is way too up his own arse to play support to anyone i would think.Wouldn't want to see him IMO
I did email the WH and said it would be great if they could get local acts to Support Dave/DMB on the european tour.

I'd rather see someone like Duke Special,Mark Geary,Fionn Regan, heck even Paddy Casey or Mundy support Dave in Dublin!
If he wasn't ontour already with his Band-dream support for me would be Glen Hansard Solo(The Frames)!!!!:thumbsup

[AlaskaFox]

would Damain Rice be too much to ask for?? Is he too high up supstart charts now?

If anything, Dave would support Ricer in Ireland, as he's such a big name here (unlike Dave).

[fkavanagh]

Wow Wow Wow,

Was bidding on e-bay for one ticket with 15 minutes to go. bid up to 80 euro, just for the hell of it checked Ticketmaster again and

da daaaaaaa

They are available kosher again. Got one for block b row h seat 1.

Panicked then as I was the high bidder but low and behold the other dude was not as clever as me and bid again.

Phewwwwwwww.

so thats belfast and Dublin as well as the point later in the summer.

No supprt in the dublin show as mentioned by MCD and covered in another thread. No harm. Its only a mess when they go switches around gear etc.

Four weeks to go. Cant wait.

[Bbynrse]

wow! nice seat....i have a question....yes, i will be one of those "yanks" coming over to see DM solo, i promise i'm a world traveler many times over and have the utmost respect for the countries i visit and for DM so if there are obnoxious americans there i asure you it won't be me...

i'm trying to do my budget for my trip...can anyone give me an idea of what a taxi will cost me to get from the jurys croke park hotel on jones's road (that's where my tour ends so its just easier to stay at the same hotel) over to the national stadium...i just got a map and didn't realize how far away the hotel would be...and are taxi's readily available outside the venue after concerts or will i have to call for one....Thanks for your help, can't wait to get over there...

I've never been to Dublin myself but I think you'd have to call a cab after the show

[fkavanagh]

Its not actually that far take a look at the scale of your map. The only prob will be traffic but they have now banned all High Goods Vechicles from the City centre so it should be a lot better. I would say that Monday evening about 20/25 minutes. More dublin dudes can correct

Not sure about cabs but book the same fella that brings you to pick you up at 10:45 in case DM goes on (please God) These cars normally run out of an office so can be booked.

The Luas around James Hospital is another option, but that is a bit on the dodgy side around that part of town I believe. Dolphin Road???

A bit more detail Byggare_Bob. so the taxi lad dosn't try screw you too much. Griffith is next door to the venue

[Bbynrse]

Its not actually that far take a look at the scale of your map. The only prob will be traffic but they have now banned all High Goods Vechicles from the City centre so it should be a lot better. I would say that Monday evening about 20/25 minutes. More dublin dudes can correct

Not sure about cabs but book the same fella that brings you to pick you up at 10:45 in case DM goes on (please God) These cars normally run out of an office so can be booked.

[superfint]

AH Crap,am bad at planning & organizin' & all that Jazz!!!
Regarding Dublin,well yeah i don't whats the craic with what am doing yet,theres a ton of my mates from town going up to the gig-don't know what my Crew want to do!

I suppose pints somewhere in the city would be the way to go??or do People wanna get pints at a pub near the Venue??(which is a wee bit out of the city centre)??

Belfast-am going Solo ,well looks that way at the minute,and ive never been up the north-so am not sure where to have a pre show booze up.
Any Belfast heads wanna make some suggestions?????

2 Frekin' weeks to go,man am so looking forward to this tour!!!
If i only had a DeLorean..............Back to the Future style!!!!!!!

Doesn't matter to me as long as we're a group of ants that hang out together just like it's supposed to be :)

Being close to the venue would be smart since we have our tickets under will call but I guess a lot of "regular" people who're attending the show would fill up on booze at a place like that.

[Bbynrse]

any plans yet? i am an ant coming solo from the states and would love to meet up with other ants in dublin or belfast.........

[MicTKO]

Hey all! Cant wait for this show, im going to Belfast and Amsterdam too. then Dublin and London in May. Hey Fint, i was thinking we should meet in Whelans. Its a great music pub and isnt too far from the venue?

[Byggare_Bob]

Dude!!I'll give ya a text wt the Weekend.

Mic's hit the nail on the head there, i think Whelans is the place to go pre show.I'd didnt know if it was near the Venue-but sure Mic knows Dublin alot better than me(Living there like)
Its a grand ould place,its even got a myspace page like!!!

http://www.myspace.com/whelansvenue

I was thinking either here or somewhere in Temple Bar,but sure if its closer like-What do People think??

Cheekster,i got your mail-will get back to you ASAP,am fairly up to my eyes in it at the moment

[Byggare_Bob]

Temple Bar areas sounds like a good idea.

What time would we have to leave in order to get to the venue in time and collect our tickets from will call?

I'll go wherever you guys are going, it's that simple :D

[fkavanagh]

Whelans is where Roco Deluca performed in Kiefer Sutherlands I thrust you to kill me tv documentary. Where he walked the streets and gave out 250 tickets for free, packed the venue and the best show of the tour as declared on Leno in January '07

It is a legendary venue but has a concert in the back that night. Albert Niland is playing solo after being with Moving hearts for the last few gigs. There must be a place closer to the south circular so the others can collect will call's.

[MicTKO]

Well, i have to collect will calls too. Whelans is about 20mins walk to the venue. Also it will be empty before 8 in the front bar. Its the best music orientated pub close to the venue (and where i drink every week!!), im really cool with whatever ye decide to do, just throing it out there. Cant wait for Dave!!!

[superfint]

Whelans all the way!! ;)
Where ever- i dont mind really.As long as theres beer!!

[fkavanagh]

Used go to Whelans on Sunday Afternoons to see the cajun kings (too many years ago) and saw eileen ivers and albert lee there around the same time. It is a special place.

From about 6pm on??

[Cheekster12]

Where ever- i dont mind really.As long as theres beer!!

That's the way I feel too, I'm down with anything. I'm really really excited to see Dave. It's gonna be one hell of a tour!

[Bbynrse]

hey ya'll....just let me know by saturday...never even done a meet up with ants in the states so i think it'll be a lot of fun...i leave sunday for your neck of the woods and then i'm un-reachable....i'll need a bit more detail than a name though as i obviously don't know the area at all....then i can follow all of you to the venue and i know i won't get lost!

Oh-so its whelans then for sure??a vote???

Its on in the National Stadium which is normally a boxing venue!!

A pair of tasteless trunks and a gum shield is the only dress code!!!!! Big gloves also if you think you can hold a beer with them. The concession stand will be selling fried Ear, vaseline and Avitene which is the stuff used by the cutmen to put into the cut to coagulate the blood!!

Ding a ling. Seconds away round 3!!

Hi,this is my first time on the dublin thread,and so made up to see so many dmb fans,didnt think he was this big in Ireland,.so glad he is though,had hoped to go to the irish shows,but will go to the vegas show instead,my friend in dublin had bought me a ticket but i just found out he has already sold it,so sorry to those who didnt get any yet,dont forget craigslist,i have already seen tickets up for sale there.

[fkavanagh]

Has everyone got sorted for accomadation in Dublin Yet??

I Have. THe F**kin' Bon Secours hospital in Glasnevin. Timing is AHhhhhhhhhHHHHHhhhHHHHhhhhhhh! Not very good. I guess your health is more important but why not a day later. I would go to Dublin and miss Belfast!! Dosn't even give me enough time to pass on tix!!!

And now that mr Reynolds may be playing even some of the show! Makes it even worse.

Why not do Dublin First? Geography is not brain science. Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow, newcastle, manchester, london, amsterdam, paris ........

Why cant I go to Hospital on Tuesday.

Whay do I only have half a shit chute!!

Feel sorry for me. If not too bad after procedure on Monday I will be there though. I will now be the one doped up to the gills on Morphine and in Pyjamas. Ignore the ambulance parked crooked on the footpath.

[Byggare_Bob]

Dave Matthews Band Warehouse ticketing announcement:

Greetings Warehouse members:

We hope that you are looking forward to "An Acoustic Evening with Dave Matthews". We ask that you please try to arrive at the venue at least one hour before the show time of 8:00 p.m. (8:30 p.m. in Amsterdam and 9:00 p.m. in Milan) to collect your tickets. You may call the venue box office ahead of time to find out if your tickets will be available earlier in the day if you wish. At most venues, there will not be a dedicated ticket window for Warehouse members.

At general admission venues (beginning in Paris and ending in Copenhagen), where possible and practical, Warehouse members may be provided with a separate line to allow them early entry into the venue. You MUST be in this line with your ticket BEFORE the doors open in order to qualify for first-in-line privileges; if you are late you will have to line up with other concertgoers and wait your turn. We will be unable to determine whether the separate line-up is possible or practical until the show day, therefore please understand if you arrive at the venue and it has not been arranged.

Each show on this tour is "An Acoustic Evening with Dave Matthews" - and will start ON TIME time at 8:00 p.m. (8:30/Amsterdam and 9:00/Milan) with a performance by Dave Matthews. Please note that there will be NO OPENING ACT and the show start will not be held for late arrivals. Due to the intimate nature of the show, we also request that you assist in setting a good example for other concertgoers by refraining from talking or calling out to Dave during the performance and between songs. Dave Matthews will be most grateful for your efforts and applause is certainly encouraged between songs when appropriate. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Cheers,

Warehouse Crew

Well Lad!
Just rang the Box officeWont be able to collect Tickets till about 6.30pm they said,when Ticketmaster staff go to the Venue and start to get the ball rolling on opening for the show.
The Venue is privatly owned and just rented out to Ticketmaster through the promotor(MCD in Ireland for this show).

You are correct tho-its not GA,seated but your tickets should be collected according to the WH,at least 1 hour before the show.I'll be there for around just after 7pm now to be sure.
Hopefully can grab scoops at the Venue!:thumbsup

Just rang the Box officeWont be able to collect Tickets till about 6.30pm they said,when Ticketmaster staff go to the Venue and start to get the ball rolling on opening for the show.
The Venue is privatly owned and just rented out to Ticketmaster through the promotor(MCD in Ireland for this show).

You are correct tho-its not GA,seated but your tickets should be collected according to the WH,at least 1 hour before the show.I'll be there for around just after 7pm now to be sure.
Hopefully can grab scoops at the Venue!:thumbsup

Good stuff, thanks for following up at the venue. Just mapped out Whelan's to National Stadium with viamichelin.com (http://www.viamichelin.com/viamichelin/int/dyn/controller/ItiWGPerformPage?reinit=1&strStartCityCountry=919&strStartAddress=25+Wexford+Street&strStartCP=2&strStartCity=Dublin&strDestCityCountry=919&strDestAddress=South+Circular+Road&strDestCP=8&strDestCity=Dublin&image2.x=32&image2.y=14)
and its a 6 minute drive, which is about a a 20-25 minute walk. My current plan is to catch the Luas from Sandyford and head into Whelan's for a couple pints before the show since it seems people will be heading earlier to collect the tickets. My mobile is +353 (0)86 816 0766, text me when you get there and I'll follow up once I get there as well. My first European Dave show for me, should be good craic.

We(the crowd) could sing it to him tho,tim can thrwo some riff to it!!

Oxegen last year-The Strokes played a bit of "ole ole ole ole" -hilarious!!

I think we should all sing "Ole ole" during the encore break. That way it wouldn't annoy Dave or Tim, and be fun at the same time! Try and get everyone to do it.

Shouldnt be too hard to get that chant going i think!
You heading up tonight RO?
Whalans at 5pm?!:thumbsup

[Cheekster12]

Whelans is gonna be fun, can't wait to meet up with people, I'm at work right now....procrastinating :shrug

I just can't wait to get out of here and go get some pints, go to the show, and have a good time "eat drink and be merry," hope he pulls some Tripping Billies and/or Jimi Thing tonight. Would love to see the show get started with Dodo or DDTW! What do you think the opener will be?

Looking at the set list from Newcastle and Glasgow, the first two encore songs are Dave solo with the electric (Some Devil and in glasgow there was a second).

I would also like to hear PNP>Rapunzel and The Dreaming Tree and/or Pig. Wow, there's a lot of songs I want to hear. It's gonna be awesome and I'm getting excited. See you all there!

[AlaskaFox]

this is a once in a lifetime chance...put the camera in your pants if you have to...just bring it in :evil

That would look...interesting..

[jpsimon]

thats what she said! :eek

[Cheekster12]

Hey,
I was at the show in Glagow and there were cameras galore. I didn't take mine on Saturday and am now kicking myself, but I'm taking in my camera tonight. They seem to be more relaxed with the cameras in Europe then they are in the US. Take in a bag with the camera or something.....

[Lcause]

If any of you are willing to text me the set, I would be more than happy to post it up here.

[LIOG87]

That would be fantastic if someone would post the set live this time unlike on Sat.
