Title: Brian in Dublin
Post by: Shady on September 07, 2011, 05:02:03 PM
Well, what can I say.

My second time seeing Brian and a truly amazing experience. The capacity crowd were in awe of Brian, God Only Knows received an extended standing ovation of about 4 minutes, people just screaming, showing love for Brian.

The set list which I can't remember by heart was perfect . Gershwin set first half which went over great then the hits/lesser known cuts. "Little Girl", "Pet Sounds" (which sounded great), "Please Let Me Wonder", "H&V".

Great crowd but prior to the encore not big into standing up apart from a few of us. I was actually told to sit down at one stage because I wouldn't sit after "Do You Wanna Dance" where Scott had the whole crowd stand up, "Do it again" is just so funky

Brian was very funny, he had the whole crowd sing "Mary had a little lamb" which cracked me up. He seemed tired at times but he gave it his all.

All and all great show, roll on Manchester.

Here's some vids I took, excuse my singing   ;D

I suppose that "Mary Had A Little Lamb" was the GB version of "Row Row Row Your Boat" that he did here in the States.

I'm particularly pleased he's selling out the venues there - I was quite disappointed at the turnout we had in Northern California.
Glad you got to see him and the band!

Really enjoyed it. Didnt realise he was gonna play all the Gershwin album so that was a nice surprise.

He played "Youre so good to me" - Pretty sure I never heard him do that song before (seen him about ten times now)
