Yeah I like the Flaming Lips too, even though if they did a cover of Baa Baa Black Sheep, Uncut would consider it a classic.

strange line-up and not good for Dylan, i reckon he'll be totally upstaged by the Flaming Lips.

I dont think Dylan has ever been upstaged by anybody
in his whole career.

Damn straight.
Wouldn't say he's having too many sleepless nights about sharing the bill with the Flaming Lips.

have you seen Dylan live? You are going to go from upbeat, fun, inclusive pop music of the Lips to the gnarled and twisted reinterpretations of Dylan classics played by an old man on keyboards. I can guarantee the majority of that audience leaving the gig will have been more impressed by the Flaming Lips than Dylan.

jesus h christ.....i like both ok? both....
dylan is actually decent live....and for folk who admire him and have not seen him in concert it'll be a good opportunity to do so....
are you in your forties? you go see him in slane twenty years ago? when he still played guitar? i'm only twenty five so the "old man on keyboards" is all i got to see...a number of times...and he was great at the point...
thinking about it the two acts certainly dont run in the same thread but i wouldnt be as critical of bob dylan....what do you want him to do? stop getting old?

Nah, I don't think so. I can't see Dylan fans leaving the gig thinking, 'Jeez, I can't believe I liked this guy all these years. But now my eyes have been opened because I have seen the Flaming Lips.' The spectators will be fans of both, or either acts. And likewise, the spectators will enjoy both, or either acts. It's always the same when you get two great acts side by side. |

no, tickets go onsale at 09:00 on thursday morning. Cork ones sold out very fast, I don't think this will sell out as quickly, big venue as well. We are reaching serious saturation point with gigs and festivals this summer i feel.

From reading another forum this is unsurprisingly exactly what happened according to a lot of people who went. |

No, not really. First time seeing him. But i was with some hardcore dylan heads who had seen him seven or eight times before and they said it was probably the best gig they saw him do.
Flaming Lips were great too. Big thumbs up for the whole day.

It was one of the better shows that Dylan has done in Ireland in recent years but he was still pretty sh*t. There'a no passion left in his voice. He can barely pronounce his words in an audible fashion let alone inject any emotion into them, plus his backing band sounded like the Mavericks. The Flaming Lips however were amazing (again). It's the same show every time I see them but what a show!

The Flaming Lips are a great live band, they should never have been put supporting Dylan, total clash of musical styles.
I saw Dylan last night in Cork, no support great gig, thought his voice was very good, much better than the last time I saw him. The Marquee is a great setup, sound, lighting, the whole shebang, worth a venture south.

Ya Flaming Lips were amazing again! Trying to put into words what a good vibe they inspire, but ya just have to see them.
Dylan was a mixed bag of course, I thought he destroyed maggies farm and a couple of others were unrecognisable (But I suppose ya have to expect that from Dylan). But then he finished strongly with a pretty close to original like a rolling stone and a hendrix esqe all along the watch tower. So the earlier disppointment was quickly forgotten!

Completely agree with Saul. Dylan started off terribly and for a while it looked like it was going to be an embarassing train wreck. His voice was awful during lay lady lay. But as Saul said, he finished very strongly and the last half hour was amazing, his voice clear and full of passion. He seemed to really get into it and treated the crowd to a fantastic rendition of Rolling Stone. Excellent gig.
Flaming Lips were excellent, a live band like no other, great fun. Got some cool pics of Coyne in the bubble which i'll try and post tomorrow.
Knew very little about violent femmes but they were ridicously good and were the perfect band before the Lips. Mundy was ok, not a fan but was bearable, July being particularly good.
All in all, great event, really enjoyed it, even the pissy budweiser was almost bearable. Big thumbs up th Nowlam park grounds people, the grass was a joy to lie on, no wonder Kilkenny kick ass in hurling.

What was Ray LaMontagne like? Or was he completely lost on the big stage? Not the place for him.
Is it just me or is there anyone else strangely unbothered about seeing Dylan live? You kinda know what to expect: he'll walk on, go through the hits in that bizarre nasal drawl of his, totally fail to acknowledge the crowd and then walk off. Cheque please, thank you.

I've seen him once (point in 2001), loved it. Have heard mixed things ever since and haven't gone to see him again since as I don't want to spoil the memory of that one great night.

Yeah, Maggie's Farm was definitely missing something although throughout i thought the band playing with him were pretty tight and the gig had its moments. First time seeing him live and although it wasn't lightening in a bottle and there wasn't any mixed up experimentation going on it wasn't that bad. Nice vibe around the place, the Budweiser surprisingly wasn't as pissy as i thought it might be and well, erm yeah. Newport it wasn't.

The performance of Just Like A Woman in Cork was magic and apparently the first time its been done this way with a gap for the audience to sing the chorus, have a listen http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=3ED6BA7B5521ECD0 (12MB)

Got there in time to see Mundy but only for half an hour, so it was bearable enough. Don't know them much but the Violent Femmes were very good (worth seeing again) and the Flaming Lips brilliant. Like a great big rock n roll circus with Wayne Coyne being the manic ring leader.
Dylan was himself as ever. One or two songs a bit ropey. But great versions of Masters of War and Ballad of A Thin Man and the incredible encore ... better than the Point a few years ago when he cancelled the next days gig in Cork. And as good as the Odyssey last year. But seeing him three times is enough now before I turn into a total nut.
Ps anyone else got good Falming Lips photos?
