I was saying that it was 8500 in total.... not excluding the floor, but saw someone had already pointed it out...

I tried to delete my post and ended up duplicating it, so edited them both out

Listened to the boot quite a few times now and it's brought back a lot of the show, and highlighted some really good moments which didn't seem that good at the time......Leash for example, i found a little underwhelming on the night but on the boot it sounds great.

Does Eddie really sing "Dublin souls unite....." in the first line?

Lol, I doubt that

After I posted that and listened to it again though I was thinking 'fuck, maybe it's me!' but I dont' think I can sing that high thankfully!

Okay, been on holidays so I haven't had time to report my 2 Eddie sightings.
On the Tuesday night, I met Eddie in the Clarence Hotel but I didn't annoy him, I just said hello. He was having a Miller I think with some other guy and on the Wednesday night after the show he was in Isolde's Tower in Temple Bar. I figur e the guys must have staying at the Clarence. I am also told that they had tables booked in Lillie's Bordello but didn't show.
Also, a friend of mine sold a copy of The Irish Times, USA Today and a Diet Cola to Mike in his shop on Camden Street and thinks the great man went into Whelan's after.

Yeah, she's WAY off! I'm fairly sure the boots are set-up sound wise so that it plays as you'd see it. So if I had to guess, she'd be over towards Mike's side, but not far enough over to be not picked up by the mic's (unless they have hidden/small mic's pointed toward the crowd???)

I also concluded that's she part of the group of people who chant with the thickest country accents possible "Pearl Jam! Pearl Jam! Pearl Jam!" at one point and the "Oi, oi, oi" chant that happens every now and again.

I have possibly thought too much about this, but Jesus, she's so very out of tune.

:eek: NO FUCKING WAY!!!!!!! So they didn't stay in the four seasons then? The clarence would made more sense. Whelans was a place we considered they might have gone to but Isoldes Tower? Isn't that a gay bar? I was only in there once and came away with a stalker for about two years . NOT great memories from that place

dunkman

you're all wrong... its Matt Cameron... shit isnt he!!!

also... it might have been Phil Lynott's mother getting her own back as she knew the boys were gonna fuck up her sons signature tune

fuck, it's me then! and yes, maybe you did think a bit too much about it

Lol Rhino and Jenny So it could be any of us.


Oh oh oh oh that Pearl Jam chant I think was coming from the girls behind me :eek: . Well I remember they were chanting 'pearl jam' during Paddy Casey til I told them to leave him alone (which surprisingly they did ) so I'm pretty sure they chanted it later too.

my hotel was just around corner from Clarence... me and the missus hung around the back of it for a while on the Wednesday morning... never saw them though :(

i just presumed they'd be staying there at Bono's behest... being mates and all...


Stevie Wonder is a stalker then... :cool: .... what an apt smiley... big dark glasses :cool:

Indeed it is. I know a guy who works there who is a complete homophobic and refuses to believe it's a gay bar. Its nice to wind him up because he's an arsehole.

Is it really? I haven't gone out in that part of town in ages... tend to stay around the Wexford St/Camden st area.... Whelans, Villages, Solas, etc.

They do have mics pointed at the crowd there was at least two that I saw. One next to mike (where I was standing) and one over at stones end. You can definatley see the one at mikes side in some of the photos I took and just about make out stones on a few of the others
