Just back from the gig. The venue was changed from "The Village" to "Tripod".

We booked our hotel to be close to The Village and were quite displeased to learn when we arrived in Dublin that the venue had been changed. We spoke to an Aer Lingus pilot in Glasgow last night and he told us the show had been moved so it wasn't a complete surprise.

But after a few minutes of internetting we were happy to learn that the new venue is next door to our hotel!

The venue itself is awesome. Limestone walls to the left and right. Real brick around the stage. Sound baffles every where. The sound was terrific.

The show felt like a repeat of last night save for a few songs.

It's raining. The tour is over.

I don't know the official reason for the change of venue but most everyone that we spoke to said that Tripod is larger than The Village.

Off to the chip shop.

I recorded audio.

any mood in the room at the passing of Liam Clancy?

Nope. No mention of it.

Gord was talkative tonight - with lots of jokes like "My sweat is 99% water. The other 1% is machismo. It's puts hair on your chest."

He said this to a girl in the first row after he'd just drenched her in sweat.

Awesome CK! Glad you and Cam are having a good time!
Get home safe!

i was surprised that the original venue was the village seeing as last time they filled the ambassador so a move to a bigger venue was on the cards. great show. i think a few people got caught out with the early start. i wish they played here more often. i'll post some photos later.

Yeah I tihnk some people in London got caught out - I certainly didn't think it would be such a log set. Turned up early though, so was right near the front - but when I turned round near the end of the first set, it was just a sea of hipfans

I was at this show and the one in Utrecht ... both were f**cking great ,... they are better than they have ever been.

Enjoyed them both loads, the Dutch one was a little hazy and the Dublin gig was full of Bubbles!

The Hip must be the best live rock band on Earth

Thanks for posting these vids. Looks (and sounds) like it was a great show with an enthusiastic crowd.
