g I wish they'd play Olympia.....I'm happy they play they play their own indoor gig, just have to moan about something. you know. hehehe.

which are the best areas for looking for hotels?

go for a jurys inn in christchurch,thats nearby the venue or browse here...

sure???? maybe you are right but i was at both and im certain it was the stadium.....anyhoo could be wrong....

i was at both too and i have recordings of both gigs and it was defo at the point.

any chance to share them on utkonos? are they in mp3 or flacs?

cassette tape

i'll send you pm later

right you are! my mistake!!!

i have the two cassette recordings somewhere as well..the point one is damn good except im missing rock music and the stadium one is shocking quality...both bought on o connell bridge in dublin from a seedy guy watching for the fuzz!!! those were the days.... pre blog bootleggersand day glo covers!!!

Rhythm records used to have a whole display of those Day glo bootlegs. got some great stuff there.

it's good to share

jesus rhythm...forgot about that place....just on the quays yeah? remember when borderline was half decent as well?

i had a gig from Dublin from the Thousand Leaves era, which I bought in small record shop just across the International pub. it doesn§t exist anymore. guy had every fucking gig from Dublin. he was da man! I don't have it anymore. had in my old micra, which got stolen together with my priceless bootlegs....aghrrr.

god yeah and all they sold was bootlegs. it was such an experience the first time I walked in their and discovered unreleased material from so many bands

Was that the basement shop beside the newsagent? the guy who owned that was amazing. always up for haggling

record collector yeah???? i loved that shop but his prices were stupidly exaggerated... i used to manage laser video store around the corner so i frequented that place quite a bit. as for borderline, it must be the only place where they still stock picture discs!!!

we will not mention comet......

freebird, great place to just stand at the counter and watch my mate abuse people buying menswear and shed seven records (sorry john if you are reading this!!!) ;-)

do you remember that place at the back of georges arcade..... cant remember the name, real ignorant staff but stunning stuff in the shop...it closed around 1995/6 as far as i remember. always had a cool negativland poster at the door ....

jesus lads, reading these posts is like reliving my youth. where have all the dodgy bootleggers gone ?

I don't remember the georges street arcade one I'm afraid. I had a nice surprise yesterday though when i noticed road records open again. I thought they were dead and gone. nice to have at least one good independent store left.

I will gladly upload it if you or someone can advise me the best way to digitise an audio cassette.
