Perhaps we should be glad that Burkean has a new meaning. Or perhaps it's the same meaning, but wearing a duffle coat.

I admire your restraint. I would have had difficulty maintaining decorum while priests were dismissing fairy stories.

I can absolutely believe that. I'm sure most of the topsoil in Stradbally is still contaminated with it.

That reminds me of a popular weekly music newspaper, The New Musical Express (known as the NME to insiders) who would routinely ensure that all band names were printed in bold type.
The objective being that a reader could quickly scan an issue and state 'oh yeah, I've heard of them'

Probably bigger venues with better managed sound than what was available back then.
In the early '90's there was lots of talk in the NME and the likes about them having to replace the amps and strobe lights after each gig, which is almost certainly bullshit, but good for their reputation.

I saw them in a big tent at a festival in '08, so that doesn't really compare. But it was louder than that.
Not as loud as '92, but I don't think that's legal anymore.

I saw it fluttering down and started laughing. My son gave me a very quizzical look.

Amazing stuff alright. I never thought I'd see them again after the SFX in 92 and at EP in 08 (which itself was unexpected)

I only have 2008 (in a tent at a festival) and 1992 (ear damagingly loud) to compare against. I don't think it was as loud as either, but that is likely down to tonights venue. It's in the middle of a residential area. Saturday will be different.

See you at the totally secret venue tomorrow.
I can't believe that it's been 33 years since I last saw them in Dublin, and I now get to see them twice in four days

The former is wide ranging with a few standouts, while the latter is simply one of the most influential albums of all time.
