Official *DMB* in Dublin, Ireland @ THE POINT. May 23, 2007

[beaufordrummer]

I just bought tickets to this and couldn't find a thread. Who's goin??? Should be fun. Place fits right around 10,000. My seats say "ground", i'm guessing that will be cool.

[superfint]

Where Else better to start you Europen tour eh?DUBLIN!!That where!!

The Point theatre holds 8,000,Balconey is soldout already,Just gound floor/standing left.The Acoustics in The Point are not the best,just a heads up,but the atmosphere will be killer am sure!

Roll on May!!

[beaufordrummer]

Is ground not as good or something??? For wome reason I think that would be better since you could get closer...

[fkavanagh]

ground is a standing only area and it is first come first served as to where you get to be. If you want to be up front or beside the sound desk just get in early..

In the US all concert gowers need a seat but that is not the case in the point.

Have ground tix myself and looking forward to the whole band. Cant believe they are all coming. Was chuffed to see Dave coming but noe thrilled to see the full whack.

[beaufordrummer]

Yeah. I didnt realize till not too long ago that it was the WHOLE band. I have tickets to see just Dave in amsterdam, but I couldnt pass up seeing all of them since I will already be over there.

[beaufordrummer]

Who all os going to this?? What are your plans for accomodation??? I'm probly go the hostel route.

[AlaskaFox]

I'm from Ireland, so a place to stay isn't a problem for me. Just bussing it in.

[beaufordrummer]

I'm from Ireland, so a place to stay isn't a problem for me. Just bussing it in.

Being from Ireland, do you know of a good hostel or low price hotel I could look into in the area which is close to the Point?

[thesills88]

any tapers? let me know...ill be there and would love to have that experience documented....

[Behrend]

yeah -

I'm looking into acommodations myself - any folks from Ireland know a good cheap place to stay?

thanks

[AlaskaFox]

I've never had the need to stay in Dublin, but you can surely find some good hostels on hostelworld.com or some similar site.

[AlaskaFox]

The Point is within a twenty minute walk (straight along the quays) from the city centre though.

[cherone21]

"An Irish DMB fan. There aren't many of us."

There will be after they crush that venue.

[mattward2k]

Been wrestling with the decision of whether this trip was affordable or not, and have decided today thanks to a friend who was willing to buy the tickets for the both of us that we're going to go. Can't believe the standing tickets are still available when the seating ones aren't... people like to sit down in Ireland fint? :p

Just got to sort the rest out, then we can head over come May :D

[AlaskaFox]

I don't know why anyone would want to sit.

[SmoothRider[PL]]

I'm going in.
I have tix ground and I hope to be as close to the stage as I can.
I'm going with my brother and friend.
I'm sleeping on the airport :)
See you all!

Ps. What's the story with papers with setlist? Where and when can I get it? Before or after the show?

Good to hear your coming over Matt!!!Tis only accross the bond sure-be worth the trip!!
I got the impression off a girl in Ticketmaster that there was not many Standing Seats left-selling slowly now tho-will be a sellout for sure before May i think.

Matt-I love to Sit!!We irish are lazy!!!Or maybe am just getting old??!!
I'd rather Sit then stand at any gigs!The only gigs i will stand for are for Dave/DMB or Frames Shows!!

[bripriest]

I spent the past weekend in Dublin and stayed at a hostel called 'Barnacles Temple Bar House'. You can find it on hostelworld.com. Fantastic location, right in the center of the Temple Bar area. At least a dozen pubs within 5 minutes walk. Maybe a 20 minute walk to the show. Prices are about $27 a night and up, and it's clean with a very friendly staff.

[corsina]

yeaaaaaaah me too in Dublin with others italians :bounce:bounce:bounce

[Mateo2k]

I'll be heading to Dublin for this show.

[ambyrle]

i'm coming to the show :) originally i was going with my sister and she wanted seats, so i bought tickets in the center of section B...i think the row is high enough that we'll be over the crowd, so at least will be able to see. i would've opted for standing myself, with a shot at being closer to the stage ;) and now she's not even going. /sigh

i'm going to be in ireland for around 9 nights, travelling all over it. i've always wanted to do that, so it was good timing. hopefully i can find someone to go with me, but if not, i'll go by myself!!

now to figure out which bar they'll be drinking in afterward... ;)

[jessamyne]

Hello all! I just bought tickets for the show. I got 'standing' and was wondering: At what time, do you think, should I start lining up? For those with standing tickets, when are you getting there?

[bdpjumbi]

Hey all! As an American living in DUblin, All I can say is that I am pumped for this show! I just saw Dave and Tim the other night here and it was fantastic. After this tour, there are going to be a lot more fans in Ireland. I know I am doing my best to spread the word.

As for where to stay, anywhere in city centre is fine. Dublin is a very small city by US standards and most places can be walked to. Make sure you end up in Dublin 1,2 or 4.

Anyone going to be meeting up for this? I know I will be in line extra early.

Its my first trip to ireland, and i'm just beginning to research.

Can you explain what Dublin 1,2, or 4 is? Metro lines? areas of the city?

I'm from DC, spending about 9 days in Ireland.

haha, I'm in the same boat. Going with someone who wants seats, so i'm in the upper B section too.

Where are you traveling from?

[Mateo2k]

So, question.

My travels are limited to the US, South and Central America.

For a show in the US, while most people have seats, few are sitting.

I know in south america, for some shows, people sit the entire time.

What should one expect in Ireland?

[jessamyne]

Anyone going to be meeting up for this? I know I will be in line extra early.

I'm hoping to meet up with some other fans, probably in line waiting for the show. You have standing tickets, I presume? I'm so excited!!

[Renegade28]

hello all! im new this is my first post. Im going to this gig with my girlfriend, im so excited i cant wait! I actually thought id have to travel far to see DMB caus i never thought they wud all come to ireland! woo!

This is a bit funny to me since six months ago I was in the same boat. :lol

Dublin is on the east coast of Ireland so the ocean borders its east side. The river Liffey pretty much runs east-west through the center of the city deviding it into north and south. There is one main "city centre" that is on the river set more tword the coast. The city is broken up into sections that don't have too much consistency other than that the odd numbers are north of the river and evens south. The closest to city centre are Dublins 1 and 2. Dublin 4 is also pretty close and is the area most of the embassys are. Here is a map that breaks down the D#'s for you:

http://www.softguides.com/dublin/maps/centre.html

The airport is in the far northern part of the city. You will have to take a taxi (~€25 to city centre) or an airport coach (€7 www.aircoach.ie). There is no train to the city centre from the airport. I would suggest again to stay in D1, D2 or D4 so that you are walking distance to most tourist type attractions including the venue (about a 20 min walk). The area that is most touristy is the Grafton St. area located between St. Stephens Green and Trinity College. You can see that area here:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=dublin,+ireland&layer=&ie=UTF8&om=1&z=15&ll=53.343557,-6.252637&spn=0.021829,0.066519

St. Stephens Green is like a mini Central Park. In May it should be very nice to walk through and hang out in given we get some sun. I have not lived here in May, but would guess the weather would be in the maybe upper 50's durring the day and low 50's to 40's at night. It could be warmer though. There is always the possibility of rain, but it usually doesn't rain too hard here.

Every place in town can be walkd to or you can take taxis which help find places you don't know too well. Street signs are on the sides of buildings about 12 feet up at the intersections. Signage compared to US cities is sparse, and street names change every few blocks, which can be confusing. You might ask someone where a street is and they have no idea.
I hope this help. Post up other questions if you want. Or or someone else will probably answer them if we can. I'm sure the locals know a ton more than me, but I figured the prespective of an American reletively new in town would be helpful.

Awesome. Thanks for the info!

[fkavanagh]

google maps is also good for dublin city centre

[DMBScotland]

Is anyone planning on going to all 4 European shows, and if so, what way are you traveling between each venue?

[John Porter]

I just bought tickets to this and couldn't find a thread. Who's goin??? Should be fun. Place fits right around 10,000. My seats say "ground", i'm guessing that will be cool.

Hi Sean

I live in Glasgow area and saw Dave perform with Tim Reynolds last weekend......what a gig that was, Dave was so funny he had the audience in stitches. We have tickets for the Dublin Gig and can't wat to see the band again, the last time was in Hartford CT on 31st August 2003, just before the great lawn gig in Central Park....bad timing really as i would have loved to have been at that gig.

How long have you been a fan?

John

[ambyrle]

i probably won't be able to go after all. just found out the class i need to take this summer starts *as soon as* spring semester ends, so there won't be a break like i expected. where's the bitterly disappointed icon? :(

now i've got some tickets to sell. so if someone wants to buy some, let me know :) face, of course. i expect i'll have an easy time selling them closer to may 23.

man, this sucks. i'm even contemplating just going and missing a week of classes, but that would be really irresponsible. SIGH.

I will absolutely buy your tickets!

[Renegade28]

I cant wait for this ive never seen the band live before, prob caus they have never been to ireland as far as i know! Any one willing to take a guess at what hotel that band might stay in? be soo cool if they ended up in the same hotel as me :p, doubtfull though!

[Bilbo80]

Hey all,
i'm new here -as an ambassador for Austrian DMB fans (we don't have the Kanguruh!!) .... are there any others?!? :) How ya all doin'?

bought my standing-tix for the dublin show a month ago and cant wait to go there!!! Seems i waited for ages that full DMB head for Europe
My girlfriend 'n' me gonna sleep at Avalon house near temple bar area and stay for 5 days.

i too have a question: Are there any rumors or facts about the special guest/ support that is announced on the points page? Someone told me it could be Edge (from U2), would be cool, but i question that....

cheers
Daniel

[Renegade28]

Ha the edge is highly unlikely considering U2's popularity in ireland.

[Hilly]

The Edge would be cool for you guys!

And U2 are from there!

It's possible!

[corsina]

aaaaaaaaaaaah see you in Dublin!!!!! From Italy

[fkavanagh]

The Edge would be cool for you guys!

And U2 are from there!

It's possible!




"Though a surprise appearance by the Edge during Dylan's set (a rumor that spread like wildfire on Friday) failed to materialize, the U2 guitarist sat in on a rendition of "Smooth Rider" with Dave Matthews Band on Saturday, as well as a pre-Jazz Fest set with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band on Thursday night."

At the N.O. jazz festival last year. They have history. You never know.

Dont know where D&T stayed in February but a lot of bands giging or recording in Dublin stay in U2's hotel on the quays, The Clarence.

[beaufordrummer]

Spent last weekend in Dublin for St. Patty's. AMAZING CITY. Can't wait to go back for the show. A buddy and I walked all the way down to the point to check it out and maybe get a glimpse of the inside. Like a lot of buildings in Dublin, it had a huge fence around it unfortunately. Great city with great people...Temple Bar was a blast. I went to one of the hotels near the point (Jury's I think?) to check prices for that weekend. They wanted around 150 Euros a night...looks like i'll be staying in a Hostel. It has been to find a hostel very close to The Point, but thats alright cause most of the hostels are within reasonable distance from the busier downtown area it seems. I am going to try to book Jacobs I think. Anyway...i'm rambling. See you all there!

[mattward2k]

It has been to find a hostel very close to The Point, but thats alright cause most of the hostels are within reasonable distance from the busier downtown area it seems.
We've booked our hostel for around £15/pp/pn (we're going for a few days) which is located just outside Temple Bar, how far is Temple Bar roughly from The Point? Was under the impression it was a jog down the quay, but who knows :p

The point is about a 30 minute walk from Temple Bar

[mattward2k]

A perfect, gives us an excuse to stop off for a drinks break on the way then...

[ACAllen]

This is a late reply to the question of traveling to all 4 shows...my little brother, his friend, and I will be traveling from Chicago, spending a week in Ireland before the 23rd, then flying between all the shows. (I couldn't figure out if train passes would work for some parts of the trip...and I have a couple of college degrees.) Time is kind of tight too. We'd like to get a glimpse of each city before we grab those pre-show drinks. I'm starting to get excited...especially since the summer tour is delayed. I'll get my summer DMB fix right on schedule. -Anne

[jaugusta]

I'll be at the concert as well!

I've been a member of the board for awhile but mainly a lurker (With the occassional post to buy/sell tickets) anyway I just moved to Dublin for two years this past January. Luckily for me I live down the Quays (unfortunately on the other side of the river so it's a bit of a walk). I'm very happy the band is playing here this summer as it was going to be very odd not seeing them this year!

Does anyone want to meet up for a few pints before/after the show? There are a few places on the North side on the way to The Point.

[Paulusmaximus]

Hi All Dublin goers! There are no bars/pubs close to the venue that would be recommended to drink in. The best bet is to drink in one of the bars in the IFSC (Irish Financial Services Centre) and then walk to the Point. It would be no more than a 15/20 minute walk. jacobs inn would probably be the best recommendation for a hostel. Its close to connolly train station, and Busaras(Main bus depot). Its also right beside the IFSC. These are all on the northside of the river Liffey. The southside of the river is where temple bar is and would be considered a nicer and livelier part of the city.

As for where the band stays, i would hazard a guess at one of the 4 top hotels in dublin. Morrison, Clarion, Westin or Merrion. It really could be any of them!

[jaugusta]

Another choice may be The Harbourmaster right near the last bridge there in the IFSC area... it has a fairly large seating area and they do pour a decent pint!

[mybest4u]

Hello everyone,

Coming in from Boston for the show and soooo looking forward to it. We have some seats/some GA. Anyone have any advice as to timeframe for getting up front? How early do the lines form?

Are there any pre show plans? We have less than a month...wooo hoooo!

:)
Meg

[ACAllen]

We will be in Ireland for a week before the show. Where are you staying the night before/of the show? We have 2 standing and 2 seats also. Only 3 people going so we aren't quite sure what to do. I hate to spend my vacation waiting in lines or "queing" or whatever its called in Europe. But if people aren't going to stand for the show from the seats then that will stink. I have never sat for a dave show- maybe just a song or two over the past 12 years when I drank too much...you know how it goes.:) We'd be happy to meet up before the show. - Anne, Bill, and Steve

We are flying in the morning of the show from Boston. Sad to say but I'm not even sure where we are staying :confused . (Ballsbridge area comes to mind!?!) That's the travel buddies job. Mine is to get in line early enough to get up front.....:) . We'd love to have some pints before the show, in hopes of waking up after our trip over. We're staying for the week after the show and doing some traveling to Spidal to see family and around the West coast.

Does anyone have any need for spare tickets? I just found out that we have 2 spares. Let me know!

Meg

[beaufordrummer]

Hey Everyone

Looking forward to this show! I bought two tickets ages ago but it looks like I am coming out by myself as of now. What are we thinking for pre-pints? Sounds like it will be one of the pubs in the IFSC area? Lets get something confirmed. I can't wait for this one! Saw d & t in Manchester and Amsterdam and have been dieing for some DMB ever since.

[ACAllen]

yeah. we should get some plans set. we will be traveling around ireland for the week before the show and will probably be ready for some people that speak "american" and can talk baseball and basketball. suggestions from the locals for a definite meeting place and time??? -anne

[Paulusmaximus]

ok well to get something rolling i propose one of the following two bars in the IFSC.

1. The Excise Bar http://www.excisebar.ie/

2. The Harbourmaster http://www.harbourmaster.ie/

Both are walking distance of the Point and are close to each other. both do quite decent food if anyone needs or wants to eat, whether its straight after work or after an afternoon of Guinness

[beaufordrummer]

Both look awesome.......

[ACAllen]

Both really look cool. Do you need to dress up for the excise bar? I do believe we are going to be relaxed in jeans and t-shirts for the whole trip. Easier to pack that way. What's the weather going to be like in Ireland next week? I'm not expecting anthing too great...until we hit Lisbon and the beach there.

[Paulusmaximus]

don't really need to dress up for either, especially on a wednesday night. its really only niteclubs and late bars that you need to get ressed up for. The IFSC is large office blocks so is full of office people and suits so thats what the bars are tailored for but everyone is welcome and you definitely won't feel out of place.

Weather has been excellent for ireland over the past 3 weeks. Been little or no rain and temperatures ranging from 15-20C. There has been a little bit of change the last couple of days and been rain and a bit cooler, but hopefully it'll clear to the mild sunny days again next week. You won't be packing shorts for here but it hopefully it should be t shirt weather. Have an umbrella, and the good thing is the rain here is usuallydrizzle and light and nothing like the heavy rain you guys get in the US! If you need any more info feel free to pm me or mail me... i'm glad to help any DMB fans visiting our great country!! :-)

[number4ty1]

It is a great country Ireland, definetely. Whoever goes there won't regret.

I've been there in 2000 (man, that was a looooong time ago), and loved it. Dublin, Gallway, Limerick. Great towns, great people !

can't wait ....only 2 more weeks!!!

[dancingkc]

So, I have a question for those of you who seem to know the area - aren't there some bars inside the venue? Why wouldn't people just go there? Also, is it possible to get a taxi after the show?

If anyone is on myspace, I started a group (http://groups.myspace.com/DMBinDublin).

[Paulusmaximus]

there are bars in the venue, but the door only open at 7 or so. plenty of drinking time prior to that!

[Madra Sneachta]

First post from a DMB noob - Going to The Point to mind my little brother, who kindly hooked me up with some stuff to get a flavour of what to expect.

Naturally, it's proven to have the same effect as a dealer giving out the first hit for free, safe in the knowledge that the money will come flowing in soon.

So fKavanagh, if my wife starts giving me grief about our next Visa bill, I'm blaming her brother in law!!!!!!!!

Welcome....just wait until you see them live!! :multi :multi :multi

[beaufordrummer]

Where is everyone staying? I need to book a hostel. I was thinking either globetrotter or jacobs inn....

Sean

[ambyrle]

i can't go and haven't been able to sell my tickets, so i've listed them on ebay starting at $10 for the three with the buy-it-now price below face, if anyone wants them.

but if i can't sell them, i'll say "fuck it" and try to get a semi-reasonable plane ticket. and if i can do that, i might be hitting everyone up for a hotel room to crash in ;)

[Hilly]

Where are your seats? I'm headed to Ireland in 6 days!!!

[Burkey_Bhoy]

right folks...

Nightwatchman (tom morello) has been announced for 3 of the DMB gigs on the european tour on his official site.. no word on the dublin gig though

Anybody know if he will be there or not? It'll make the different to me buying tickets or not!

[Renegade28]

Woooo its only a week from wednesday! Ive had my tickets since the gig was announced! Any one else staying in jurys? oh and to the person wondering about the bars in the venue itself.... well they are more like little stands in the lobby where you can purchase beer, theres not seating really and they dont let you take alcohol inside the actual concert and they charge rip off prices so i wouldnt count on drinking there before the gig! jus a lil heads up. I wonder if the band will go somewhere for drinks after the gig.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=015&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=250113329479&rd=1&rd=1

the seats are the middle section of block b, row v. i'll end the auction early and give them to you for $200 if you want them. it has a bunch of watchers, so i'm guessing they're waiting till the last minute to bid. i'd rather they went to an ant or WHer, though :)

edit: and i realized you were probably just asking where everyone was sitting and already have tickets. i'll leave the link/offer anyone, in case anyone wants them :)

Looks like I'll be in Dublin that week... Have tickets to the show, but Section B row U... was looking to get something a lil' better.

Thanks, though... I think I'll just hold on to my U seats : )

Hope you can make it out... I'm stoked for this show!!! I hope the Tom Morello show rumors turn out to be true. I'd really love to see that one happen!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey all. I am from LA and Living here in Dublin the last 8 months. If anyone would like a little heads-up on things or need some questions answered, I will try to help. I am by no means an expert about Dublin, but might be able to help. Just PM me and I will get back to you ASAP. You might want to refer to one of my prior posts in this thread for some tips on transprotation and some other things I touched on.


Is anyone planning a meetup BTW? It would be great to get something going. Renegade28 is right, there is no need to get drinks at the venue when you are in the best bar/pub town on earth. Also, walking is easy enough around Dublin, but you should be able to get a taxi easy enough on the way to City Centre, if not at the venue.

[Aerodmb]

How early should I arrive to get a decent spot near the stage?

[Hilly]

Any word on an opener?

[bdpjumbi]

One note:

At the same night and time of the show is the Champion's League final between Liverpool and AC Milan. That means the town should be especially jumpin for a Wednesday. Might make getting a taxi more difficult, but is a good tradeoff if you plan to hit the town after the show. Pubs pre-show should be pretty packed also. Lets hope for a Liverpool victory so the locals will be extra fun as opposed to a bit tilted! :multi

[sheridan1]

I think the Opener is 'Delorentos' . They're an Irish band, went to see them in Galway Last week, pretty good. Here's their myspace (http://www.myspace.com/delorentos)

Not long to go now .whooo! :)

I like nightwatchman a lot...but they're not bad.

[lienus44]

Hey all -

I will be in Dublin for the show the 22nd-25th, staying at the Abbey Court Hostel near Temple Bar. Looking forward to meet up with any other DMB fans who will be there as well. I am also doing the tour of the guiness brewery the next day, I recommend anyone interested go to http://www.guinness-storehouse.com/ to buy a ticket in advance. You can still go when you feel like but you get to skip the line and get a discount as well.

Cheers,

Mike

[Hilly]

I leave tomorrow!

See you kiddies in a couple weeks!

[Renegade28]

Guess theres no chance of nightwatch man so :(. They sound pretty good tho.

[matt4p]

Ive got a spare standing ticket for the show. If anyone wants to buy it from me then im willing to meet up with you on the day. Im not expecting any more than the original price so all offers welcome.

[Madra Sneachta]

Dave was interviewed by Dave Fanning on RTE Radio 1 on Wednesday last.

A recording is available at http://www.rte.ie/arts/2007/0516/drivetimewithdave_av.html?2248874,242,209

Headin off to Europe! I am definitely down to meet before the concert at a pub or tailgate.... E-mail or PM me info.

Leaving for Dublin today.

[jsalem]

Went to D & T in Glasgow and Amsterdam, I'm on exchange in Stirling, Scotland from Toronto, Canada and making the best of it. Met some cool people at the Amsterdam show from the USA staying in Ireland for the year working. I wasn't planning on making it to this show but I just found out my last exam ends at noon on the 23rd, so right after that I'm hoping on the train and plane over to Dublin, landing at around 5:45 and heading over to the Point, enjoy the show, hopefully bump into some familiar faces then off to a pub / airport to wait for my 6:30am flight back to Scotland.

so question (now that you all know my life's history), what's the best / cheapest way to get to the point from the airport? and how much would it cost?

CANT WAIT FOR THIS SHOW!!!

[stevie axeman]

Not long to go now - first band show for me - although I caught Dave and Tim in Manchester earlier this year
Woo hoo !
Anyone know if the guys generally sell DVDs at the merch stand?
I need to get copies of Listener Support and Greatest Hits 94 to 01 DVDs !

[Renegade28]

The cheapest way to point from the airport to the point would be bus id say, theres busses that run to the city centre. Although a taxi would be faster if u were stuck for time but would cost you a bit more.

Hey, My brother and I are going from Prestwick to Dublin and back with the first flight. We were in Dublin last year for the Goo Goo dolls and got a quick bus from the city center to the airport, and will be looking to do the same again. No accommodation booked so will be fighting with you for some space on the airport floor.

Hey There

I am in a similar situation to you. I'm studying abroad in Wales from Minneapolis, MN. Went to Manchester and Amsterdam D & T shows. Were you hanging out by the bus at the Amsterdam show? That's where I was. Hoping we could've met dave, but he had to rush inside(Met in Man., so can't complain). Anyway, I have a break in my exams, so i'm heading out to this one too. Hope to see you there!

[mzungu]

Only 2 days to go till DMB play right here in Euroland- I cannot wait!
I'm flying across from sunny Scotland on Wednesday -which just happens to be my birthday as well.

Saw Dave and Tim in Glasgow earlier in the year which was fantastic, and Dave in London last year which was good, but never thought I'd actually ever get to see the whole band.

Reading through the messages, there was some talk a few days back about a meet up for light refreshments before (and after??) the gig- anyone still up for this? Its Champions League final nite as well, so the craic will be amazing.

Slainte!

Best way is probably to get the 747 Bus into the central bus station in the city http://www.dublinbus.ie/your_journey/viewer.asp?route=747 and then a taxi to the point, a taxi from the airport into the point would cost a bit!

This is Kevin. We met up in Amsterdam before the show for some, err, coffee. I live here in Dublin and will be at the show. You are gonna be on a tight schedule to make the show if you land at 5:45. The cheapest way would be for you to take the aircoach bus into town. You can check it out at www.aircoach.ie. The only one I know goes from the airport to city centre for €7. Then you could walk to the Point (20 mins) or get a taxi (€8-10). If you can afford it on your time crunch, get a taxi straight from the airport to the show. Should be like €25 and probably worth it to get a better seat.

[jsalem]

Wow, thank you all for the info, makes me feel more comfortable with the upcoming plans. now I just need to worry about this last exam and boot it to Dublin as quick as possible, I'm so excited for this show! its been too long since I've seen the band, and the past 5 times I've seen the band was all in Toronto, I'm excited to finally see the whole deal in another country!!!


(oh man, when I get back to toronto I'm gonna be so depressed, how can one go from seeing dave 3 times in 3 months to maybe once a year :(, oh well, guess I'll just have to make the most of this!)

[jaugusta]

So being only two days away.. have we decided on a place? I'm still thinking Harbourmaster may be a good choice but whatever works for everyone is fine with me (I just live on the other side of the river in the Quays anyway!). Also how about time? I work out in Citywest but am planning on leaving early to be in town early enough to meet up.

I may also have another seat if anyone's still needing a ticket (Block B Row F).. I will know tomorrow for sure.


Looking forward to it and, to all of us, the "official" start of the Summer!
Jim

[bubba40]

Soooo green (Ireland...get it...;) ) with envy at all of you heading to this show. Have a great time, especially those of you who'll be seeing the world's greatest live act for the first time! :D :D :D

[ACAllen]

We are so exhausted from driving through most of Ireland the past 5 days. What a beautiful country! The breathtaking scenery makes up for us missing perfect weather back home in Chicago. Looking forward to the DMB show and being in Dublin for 2 nights. We have to pick up our tickets before the show...at will call. We have 2 seated and 2 standing...and only 3 people going. Row A for the seated. Anyone need a seat at this late time? I'm guessing that my brother and his friend will take the standing. Offering it at cost, to meet up the day of the show. As for meeting before the show...will picking up the tickets interfere with all of that? We should have an internet connection tomorrow (tuesday) -anne

We really do need to decide on a spot. The Harbourmaster sounds good, and I hear from some friends it is a nice short walk to the venue. Word is they pour a nice pint of Guiness too! I have warehouse tix so I'm not sure what time I have to be at the venue, maybe 5:30? I plan to hit the pub no later than 3.

Can't wait! :multi

[hpmcginny]

haha YES just a day to go now.... bring that shit on

[warehouseguy]

been in ireland past week/half now, back into dublin last night. i walked along the river toward the venue this morning and saw the crew loading up and getting ready for the show. saw carter's drums all set up, too.

should be a nice venue, and will post a review, and/or soundchecks if any if i can catch one.

cheers from dublin

I just found Out there are two Harbourmasters, one in Irishtown and the other in IFSC. Which are we talking about here?

[Cheekster12]

I just found Out there are two Harbourmasters, one in Irishtown and the other in IFSC. Which are we talking about here?

My guess would be the one in the IFSC. Irish town is not a good part of Dublin....and it's miles away from The Point. The IFSC is just down the river from The Point.

Is that where we're meeting? Harbour Master?

[bdpjumbi]

My guess would be the one in the IFSC. Irish town is not a good part of Dublin....and it's miles away from The Point. The IFSC is just down the river from The Point.

Anywhere esle in IFSC to suggest? My knowledge of Dublin is limited to south of the Liffey.

[AlaskaFox]

Anywhere esle in IFSC to suggest? My knowledge of Dublin is limited to south of the Liffey.

Drinking somewhere in the IFSC is your best bet, as it's only ten minutes walk.

[jaugusta]

Ok let's plan on the Harbourmaster (at the IFSC) then? As for time, I'm quite envious of those of you on holiday, but I can be there anytime around 4. I know some people who have GA tickets will want to be there early, I have seats (through the warehouse) so am not as pressed for time as others, but an early start will ensure we can all meet up for a few and those who want to line up early can do so while those of us still around can enjoy a few more pints before we head (stumble?) over for the show.

[beaufordrummer]

Sounds good. Me and my buddy will maybe be there. We might line up as soon as we get there instead though just cause were GA. Maybe buy a sixer of guinness and drink while we wait.

Alright....24 hours and counting!!!!!

[SmoothRider[PL]]

What time does the show start?
On my ticket is:

DOOR 6.30 PM / SHOW 7.00 PM

[wronskit]

I was there today at 6, and there was absolutely nothing going on...no buses, no crew, or anything. It doesn't even look like a venue, and the area of town is a bit delapidated. Quite surprised that they're playing there.

[Hilly]

Well, i've been going at a gruelling pace, and if this were Oregon Trail, I'd have dysentary and die. Or lose 2 oxen.

Well, we rented a car and toured the country. We spend a few nights in Dubin when we first arrived. FRIGGIN GREAT CITY. Then we headed north, to belfast, then just drove along the coast and saw everything there is to be seen. giants causeway, the ropebrige, tourist stop after tourist stop, we had a pint in just about every little village we come across, and would finally crash when we deemed that neither of us were in any condition to operate a motor car on the wrong side of the road (Haha). It's been a great tour, and we've met some amazing people along the way. We've made our way down the west coast down around the south, then cut up through Limerick and Tipperary, bought some wooly things for the girlfriend in a great town called Spiddal, and now we're back in Dublin, just checked into our hotel, had a few pints, and decided email the girlfriend, and thought I'd check in here. We hit the Jameson distillery, the guinness factory, four courts, dublin castle, the waterfront, and partied till the bars closed in Temple Bar... so who knows what we're in for tomorrow. Tonight we're finally going to rest, go have a few more pints, then die in the room... we've been going so fast, that its great to finally get a chance to slow down and stop. Picked up a lot of whiskey from Jameson and Bushmills, Bushmills has a "reserve" whiskey that you can only get at the distillery, the only difference is that its aged 2 years longer. There's a "reserve" jameson, but we're yet to figure out the difference in that one. We bought it anyway, because, frankly, we're marketings bitches! haha...

We'll, its close to 10:00 here, so that means more pints.

See you all at the show tomorrow!!!!

It's Dublin, they'd all be out drinking by then :p

As I understand it, its in the more industrial part of the docks, so I'd expect the area to look more along those lines. Have you ever been to the Manchester Apollo? Gorgeous venue, but its in a really rough place.

As for the venue itself its pretty famous as far as Ireland goes (help me out here Fint, where have you been!?), and although its not world-renowned like the Arena it does have a certain aura about it. David Gray did launch the larger part of his career from there.

The last concert in australia DMB were fuckin awesome :) :) :) :) :)

[number4ty1]

Have fun @ The Point, especially those first timers like myself. But my first show is only next Friday !!!

"I'm so excited, that I just can't hide it...."

[JohnK86]

What time does this start?

[Madra Sneachta]

The Point was a storage depot for trains and does look like a shithole from the outside. Inside is fine, facilities are basic but reasonable. It's due for a major refurbishment next year, and in about 10 years time, the whole Docklands area should have undergone a London like transformation.

Regarding the start time, Ticketmaster's website, The Point's own website and the ticket itself all give showtime as 7pm.

At the moment, I'm at work in Donegal, 150 miles away. I'll get out of here at 2pm, on the road at 2.01pm, and hopefully at the venue by 6 to meet up with da brudder (fkavanagh).

My DMB cherry popping experience should be well underway in nine hours time:multi

[Cheekster12]

Really excited for tonights show. Can't wait to get out of work. Will hopefully be out of work around 4-4:30......5 at the latest and will boot it over to the Harbormaster.....

Can't wait for the show! Gonna be great.

[bdpjumbi]

I and some friends from the States will be at the harbourmaster around 3 or 4. Am so stoked for this show. The Dublin D & T show was the best of the three I saw so this should rock. Anyone else hitting up Lisbon or Brussels?

Can't wait for this now. not finished work til 5.30 so not sure if i'm gonna make it to the IFSC. Hope they are gonna give us a nice lond show!!

You are Brendan's friend right? Maybe you enjoy the experience! And let me tell you...one you go to your first DMB concert, you never go back.

[European Ant]

Hey everyone!

Just so that everybody knows: Special guest (=support act) is a band from Dublin called Delorentos (http://www.delorentos.net/) and they play at 7pm. -- DMB play at 8.15pm! (this is from a WH email)

Of course Rashawn Ross and Butch Taylor will then play together with DMB.

And by the way, I hope the show WILL be taped. If not, it looks pretty certain that the Brussels show is gonna be taped. But please, people, tell us if you wanna tape it youself, so that others don't have to do it (twice, thrice, etc ;))

Best regards,
Julian.

Glad to hear that the Brussels show will be taped, let's hope it's as good as the tapes that were coming from Australia at the start of the month!

Hope everyone in Dublin enjoys the show, i can't wait for Brussels and London next week.

Have fun!

8/11/1 It is so much less stressful scoring zachy- i'll start playing with the summer tour....

[meggieprice]

exactly, these shows will not reflect our summer shows

From yur mouth to Dave's ear- I am so concerned we will hear similar shows every time. I am OVER Bayou....

[achota33]

yeah i only play in the summer tour, and am never very good at it. perhaps i should practice in these little mini tours

[tedies]

tedies ot you are going to two of the same shows I am going to ~ DC and Riverbend.:thumbsup
:thumbsup Nice party at deadcreek and the rail at riverdowns!
From yur mouth to Dave's ear- I am so concerned we will hear similar shows every time. I am OVER Bayou....

[rockten80]

I have a fear that Warehouse is taking a break this summer, which would be too bad because it was their best song last summer

[meggieprice]

9/11/1 Zach has so many so close to spots!

[achota33]

i dont know how they could possibly put one of their absolute best live songs, that theyve never taken a break from on the shelf for a whole summer. i pray it doesnt happen

[fan42days]

[fan42days]

Zach has so many so close to spots!

EDIT: And by "we" I obviously mean "they".

[kmdaly]

SMTS...presumably going to be followed up with ASTB->Too Much. But oh I would love for ASTB to segue into something else

Imagine if you flew to Ireland for this!

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

Imagine if you flew to Ireland for this!I won't go as far as driving to SPAC for my 3rd show this summer if they keep this shit up.

Edit: When I say 3rd show -- I obviously meant 3rd for the summer of 07 lol.

[duane26]

I agree. You'll still find your piece of shit Ants that enjoy this set though. :BANG
I wouldn't take it that far.:lol If I hadn't seen as many good shows as I have over the past several years I might not feel such a distaste for these sets lately. I am sure things will get better when they get back to the states.I hope!:eek

[achota33]

haha id imagine some of the yanks are pissed off, but at least they get to see these crap songs live instead of just watching them pop up on a screen like us

[duane26]

Duane! mwah! mwah! Wish you could be with us all this Sunday at Toups barbecue!
Sounds like a blast!:hug Don't worry though you will see me at Shoreline this year!:multi
