I know it prob sounds spoilt but I'm sick of it. You can't knock last nights show but I don't see why they had to play it two nights in a row. QUOTE]



Because a lot of die hard fans(myself included) cant afford to go to multiple shows so only hear it once. The other times at Manchester were 3 years ago and 2 years before that so its not exactly a record on continuous repeat is it?

DC has been played at the UK inc Ireland shows approx 10-11 times since the HAND tour. So if you've gone to one show per tour and haven't heard it, you've been unlucky. Just cause I don't follow the crowd and go as crazy for it as some do on here, so what. There's plenty if other decent songs which have been bigger hits than DC which don't get a look in. I still maintain that an epic song like that doesn't need to be played 2/3 shows. It's been played 3x in the last 7 days alone.

I have been to multiple shows in the past and IIRC I,ve heard DC 5 times now in the past 5 years, long may it continue.
Not meant as a personal attack in the first place btw just thought it was a strange complaint when you obviously go to a lot of shows and hear Who Says/Captain Crash every time yet have a go at DC.

PS: i only got to Manchester this time so didnt do too well on the rarety front, at least youve been spoilt in your last 3 shows.

Of course it goes without saying that its criminal when who says gets played more than DC, i'd actually like to see DC ending the main set for a change leaving space for the good stuff in the encore

Yes last 3 shows have been great

DC is still shite though, front section not the song

Of course the DC is worth an extra £160. You have the pleasure of not queuing for days on end to get a good spot without all the over crowding, fighting and pushing. Also I think you'll find that the extra £160 includes 3 course food and a free bar/pre show party. Granted at the front row you do see nothing. This couple offered to swap their front row spot with our spot that was to the side on the back rail - i checked out their spec and said no ta.

Is there a place for the DC at future BJ shows? No, i dont think so. Would I do it again? Definitely. If you want the best in this world you must pay.

Why didnt move to the back anyway? Or for your extra £160 do you have special markers where you have to stand?

I was in GC night 1 Dublin and DC night 2. Both shows for me were fantastic, I couldn't choose between them. I have no idea the advantage of being front row in DC cos they all must have very sore necks even today!! DC was a much better view than GC. We were about 7 rows back and had a really good view.

I do think they need to get rid of DC next time, if they must, just keep GC like last time. I didn't really notice any difference between the crowds. People around me knew Damned, Never Say Goodbye and Hey God.

I was lucky enough to get the DC ticket through the FC. No way would I have bought a package for it.

Thats what I did in Dublin since hearing the stage was too high up. Worked perfectly fine, best spot of the whole place id say

But yeah dead circle is pointless yes.
Money wise its not the best,,,I wouldnt spend that kinda money again, the package bit is not that great. BUT to be fair, every1 in Dublin went crazy in the DC for almost every song, the crowd in there was great actually. Alot of die hards it seemed like.
