Wow where do I start???

Well we got to Dublin at about 9pm, went to the tree pub next to croke park and stayed there till they chucked us out around 12.30. Found where we had to queue - most people were asleep when we got there but that didnt stop Yvonne trying to wake them all up Everyone there took tents, sleeping bags but what did we have??? 1 rug, coats and a brolly. Oh well it didnt matter who needs sleep anyway. Guess who this suspect JTer is alseep under here??!! Answer at the bottom of the page



Not gonna go into the the shite queing system where we couldnt sit down all day. Got our spots in the ground 2 row between Jon and Richie. Perfect. Nickleback came and went (these are really growing on me now).

Band came on and all of a sudden the ground seemed packed. Irish fans are great - the atmosphere was electric. Richie seemed in a bteer mood this time (Yvonne reckons it was Denise who was bringing him drinks from the side of the stage). Jon, well in the two shows iv been to I cannot fault him one bit. He was amazing, so much energy looked like he was on top of the world.

Highlights: Garageland (see link below), Prayer, Radio (im so loving this song live), Blood on blood, (the part where Jon was telling Richie how to play it took me back to when they did good guys at Wembley 95), Bad Medisince with Gloria (see link below) and Il be there for you (see below). And of course Dry county again, I have a 9 min video of this song but cant load it to youtube cos its a quicktime file, if anyone can help us out with that id be most greatful!!

Only lowlights were not doing Sympathy in KTF and no songs from these days which they usually do in Dublin.

Here are some of the better pics







So fantasic night, thats two shows in Dublin for me and they are both right up there with the best!!! I tell ya if the rest of the tour is as good as the last two shows it will be the best 4 weeks of my life!! Roll on Munich!!

Btw that was Lee AKA jbjhand sleeping, note the beer can!! Apart from seeing Bon Jovi I have met some great people in the last two weekends, Lee and Yvonne made up for the crap weather and hitler type security people in Dublin cos we did have a laugh. so thanks guys.

Flew back from Dublin to Bristol first thing on Sunday morning to see my (shite) team get stuffed in Cardfiff, but you know what??? After that show I wasnt even that bothered. Nothing could put a downer on last weekend..
