Do it! And don't let anyone tell you the Rocky films are silly. They are empowering and the acting is top notch - ahem....I mean Sly Stallone along with B.A Baracus ("I aint gettin' on no goddamn plane fool!"). How can that be beat? I suggest watching Rocky 2 and then going for a power run at 4am, making sure your route takes you through a busy market place and finishes at the top of some high steps! I promise you will have attracted a massive fan base by the time you get to the finish line and that there will be music playing in the background whe you jump up and down at the end making unintelligible grunting noises.

WHAT AGAIN??????????

Nah. I didn't see anything to be honest. I spent most of the time in the pit or at the bar at the back. I take it you didn't either?

OK I'm gonna leave you guys to talk. Gotta dash and exercise then eat then do stuff. Catch you all later

Byrnzie

Actually, I shouldn't knock Rocky. I'm a child of the 70's. The Rocky films are as ingrained a part of my being as Frazzles, anoraks, rock n' roller disco, and Star Wars.

Wagon wheels perhaps?? (I can't believe they changed the packaging of Frazzles a few months ago. The packet had been exactly the same since they were when I was at play school in about 1974. Blasphemy! :mad: )

:eek: Well I’m willing to bet that would be a first

‘Jools was cool. Didn't look like they were totally rocking out though’

I agree, by their standards it almost looked like they were just playing – not much effort! I still absolutely loved it though

‘How sad is this my Ten and Vs are still the cassettes I bought at 12/13’

Wow! How did you get them to last so long? I think I had TWO cassettes of ten and have had at least three cd’s. It’s not that I’m not good at keeping stuff but I think I wore it out and it’s also the one cd that people have a habit of taking on me. I got into them pretty much at the beginning. It was just after Ten came out and one of the girls in fourth or fifth year put the tape on the school bus and it was black that did it for me. I was gone then. A few weeks later I was minding a couple of dogs for a friend of my mother and I’d obviously gone on about how much I wanted that tape so much that she bought it for me as a thank you.

i too have ten, vs, vitalogy,no code and yield on cassette!!

and ten, vs, vitalogy, yield and riot act on vinyl!!

and all of em bar ten(shock horror!!) on cd!!

Byrnzie

I was just falling asleep at my desk then. Today's gonna be a struggle. Shiiit! You know, just looking at these set lists depresses me when I see that they all have the option to 'Download' next to them, except for a few, including the Astoria. Bah!!

I reckon I'll be at some bar at the back somewhere when Slayer are strutting their not so funky stuff. Or pehaps I'll be munching a hotdawg. Plenty of mustard and ketchup, and fried onions - Yum yum!, I'm looking forward to Slayer being on already.

Yeah, it'a bit lame. But I'm only going there for one band, so I'm not too fussed. Mind you, I was at Reading for the full 3 days in about 1996 and I only saw about 3 bands so It's not such a big deal. I'll be endulging in two of my favourite past-times up until Pearl Jam come on stage - eating and drinking, so I'll be o.k.

06/01/00 - The Point Depot: Dublin, Ireland [121m]
attendance: 8,500

set: Sometimes, Breakerfall, Grievance, Corduroy, Given To Fly, Animal, Nothing As It Seems, Faithfull, Even Flow, Off He Goes, Elderly Woman, Insignificance, Daughter/(WMA), Rearviewmirror, Alive, Go

enc: Do The Evolution, Lukin, Wishlist, Better Man/(Save It For Later), Garden, Black

notes: Ed is in a chatty mood, proposing a toast to Dublin, mentioning that the crowd had waited two albums for them to come to The Point again. He adds, "That's what we did ... how 'bout you? What did you do? You all grew up. You all became a bunch of thieves. You broke out of prison just so you could come here (a note about a local news story about early release of political prisoners under the terms of the Good Friday agreement). Now you have a taste of freedom ... here's to your new found freedom." Ed dedicates a wonderful version of 'Off He Goes' to the fair people of Donegal, noting "all six of 'em are right over there." After 'Alive,' Ed blesses the crowd with liquid from his wine bottle and Stone comments, "I think tonight was one of those nights where we probably shouldn't have played that song." Before 'Go,' Ed tells the crowd a lengthy story (full of Irish wit and wisdom) about a farmer, his son and his horses, which is a big crowd pleaser. 'Go' finishes with Mike making Hendrix/Townshend type contortions with his guitar while Ed sings lyrics from the Crowded House song, 'Don't Dream It's Over.' At the beginning of the encore Ed tells the crowd, "If you're not goin' we're not goin'." After 'DTE,' Ed mentions that Monkeywrench opened up for them in London and some of the members of that band used to be in Mudhoney and that the next song was written about one of their members, leading to 'Lukin.' After 'Better Man,' Ed says that if the crowd's up for it they'll play a song they haven't played in a long time (and that the band would remember the fact that they tried it out in Dublin), leading to 'Garden' - definitely a treat. (He asks the front row for help with the second verse.) 'Black' is introduced as a tragic little song. At the end of 'Black,' Ed covers himself with black tape, climbs up on the speaker at the right hand side of the stage and jumps into the crowd, where he is treated with superhero respect. A fantastic finish to a great concert. Other highlights: a huge, magnificent Better Man (Ed made it disco!), dancing on the intro of 'DTE', 'RVM' - as good as it's meant to be, while 'Insignificance' and 'Lukin' are powerful. Mike ON FIRE and the solos on 'NAIS' and 'Alive' were stand outs. Songs from Binaural are received like old favorites (although not particularly 'Insignificance') throughout and the Yield tracks never performed in Europe before especially (particularly 'Given To Fly').
