[Strat]

Bad. (u2)


Fffffffffff

I think it would be absolutely hilarious if Ed kicked you out of the gig for being on your phone !

[dimejinky99]

My phone? At least I was being quiet. Jesus that was a fucking ignorant crowd. He pulled it outta the fire tho.

Phone, Yes. Sorry!


Corks are usually awful humans?

[skunkthecat]

Save me from fucking middle aged women who only look up from their fucking phones when he plays Black. Also, when did flashes on phones get so fucking bright? Legal grounds for stomping a bitch.

But AWESOME. Fair fucks to Ed, he knows how to work a tent. Dead now. Don't let them bury me in Cork lads.

AL. Best Ruddo post in months.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Glad someone laughed

[Biff Pocoroba]

I thought someone already put up the set?

Intro Music: Tuolumne
(Huge response from audience when Ed comes out. Instead of the first song on the set list Ed decides to play a sing-along. The audience sings the front on their own with Ed joining in at the 2nd verse)
01. Better Man
02. Throw Your Arms Around Me
03. Sometimes
04. Don't Be Shy
05. I Am Mine
06. Off He Goes
(Glen Hansard comes onstage carrying a birthday cake. It is Ed’s daughter Olivia’s birthday. Ed talks about the joy of being surrounded by beautiful women that love him and are loved by him and expresses mock dread that they are officially parents of a teenager. He gets the audience to sing Happy Birthday to Olivia and has some people on the barricade help blow the candles out. He then lobs the cake into the audience)
07. Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town
08. Bad-(U2) {partial about 1:30)

Quartet enters the stage
12. Sleeping By Myself
13. It Happened Today
Quartet exits the stage
14. Far Behind
15. Drifting
16. Guaranteed
17. Rise (The internal mic on the mandolin fails so it is no longer going to the PA or monitors. Ed stops singing but the audience carries on singing for him. He likes that so much he repeats the chorus a few times with the audience. After the song he uses a slingshot to launch guitar picks into the crowd)
18. Unthought Known

Quartet exits the stage
28. Society with Glen Hansard. {Both play acoustic guitar. Ed sings main vocal while Glen sings harmony. Glen switches to lead vocal on verse 2}
29. The Auld Triangle with Glen Hansard
30. Rockin’ In The Free World with Glen Hansard
--
31. Hard Sun- with Glen Hansard and Red Limo String Quartet. {Ed reveals he has a “People’s Republic of Cork” t-shirt}


The Forum set notes an enthusiastic crowd but I'm more likely to side with Dime & Skunk's opinion.

[dimejinky99]

Don't get me wrong he had em by the end but it was more of a festival gig. Lotta people just constantly talking and not even watching the show. The crowd that did take part really really got into it especially on the pj tunes falling slowly and auld triangle

The two lads had an absolute fuckin blast on stage. Really loved it. Smiling the whole time both of them.

I got 2 passes but down with tons of pj mates from overseas but there was only one I could give it to. She's a massive fan of both glen and ed and tours all over to see them and knows glen a good bit but had never met ed. I knew she wouldn't have the fanmeltdown all my other mates would have (and I've had) and I totally picked right. He loved her they were chatting for ages and trading badges and we ended up taking loadsa goofy photos. After this one. We're all over the moon today but my pal more than most

[Anders]

She seems great. Looks like a really fun night.

[dimejinky99]

Got this. Set is a little different.

Good call going with betterman out the gate.

[evenslow]

Never thought I'd say this but I wish I was dime.

[bodysnatcher]

let's not get crazy here
