(REVIEW) DUBLIN, FLEETWOOD MAC - NIGHT ONE

Review of Dublin Gig - Saturday Oct 25th.

My first exposure to Fleetwood Mac was in the 6th Form Centre at St Philip's GS. A schoolmate was gamely plucking away at Albatross, the bluesy, dreamy instrumental that charted for the band in 1969.

Last night (Saturday) at the O2 in Dublin two of the original members of that band, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie were still laying down the rhythm for the band forty years later. It's gobsmacking isn't it?

Not so for some of the utter, braindead twats in the audience, each of whom had paid upwards of €80 to see these legends, arguably the greatest band still on the road. Quite probably never to tour again. A steady stream of stupid, ignorant Irishmen and Irishwomen only intent on travelling to and from the bars...

Careful what you say, Roy!

For your information, we had a bunch of loud, obnoxious people from England (and it WAS England, btw) and the US/Canada behind us who were drunk/drinking and irritating everyone in the vicinity. Get over it!

Your gross generalisations are both reckless and infantile.

Great concert. Pathetic "review" by someone whose ability to articulate their warped and xenophobic views is unintentionally hilarious.
