He said it in a positive way in the video and noted that it was people enjoying themselves
Who the hell gets rowdy at a David Gray gig, he’s hardly bashing out banger after banger.
Nose candy?
Gig behaviour has become a massive problem in the last few years. People are coming to drink (take coke) and chat with their mates, anything but listen to the performance. I wasn’t at DG but i suspect his comments weren’t a compliment.
Drunk people are annoying. Put loads of people who can’t handle their drink,sprinkle a little cocaine into the mix and hey presto. You have the craic. This is hardly news. The Sean Paul gig was reportedly the same but that was blamed on travellers being present . Bob Dylan in Slane,most Oxygens
I was there. Have been going to his gigs since the 90’s, have been to lots of gigs at the 3Arena and other locations. I’m not particularly sensitive, I didnt say anything (to be honest those chatting around me were pretty shit faced so I wasnt going to start anything), but I was happy enough to leave early cause the crowd killed it.
This crowd was more interested in drink and chat than the actual music. He’d play one of his hits and everyone would engage again, but the slightest hint of a lesser known song and they’d all be off to the bar or jsut start chatting again. It kinda reminded me of Slaine. Everyone had been out drinking in the sun, and this was the result.

A gig like this is ripe for that type of atmosphere. Put a radio friendly artist with a catalogue most have never listened to and it ends up being a shit atmosphere. His songs are sorrowful and personal but people at it go on like they’re at Tomorrowland or something(not that edm can’t be either but you get me)
Went to KOL.last year in Marley Park. So boring(I was part of the problem).as nobody knew any of the words to any of the songs.except for the main ones.
any excuse for this joke of a newspaper to shit further on the Irish
I go to a lot of gigs, large and small and haven’t found any particular change in behaviour. Other than now phones being used to record, which I don’t have any strong feelings on.
Then again, I don’t go to a lot of gigs where the artist expects 13,000 people all to be quiet at the same time for a story. They came for a good time. The article just seems very perl clutching and high horse.
There was a massive thread about this last week from someone who attended too.

TBH, I feel this is an issue in so much of post Covid Ireland. People seem to have lost their head in terms of being aware of others.
Being a fucking dickhead is the new meta
I saw him 20+ years ago in the Marquee in Cork. To this day it’s THE most boring concert I’ve ever been to. Not to say that the white ladder album isn’t a very good album, but talk about a live let-down…
I saw him in limerick a while back, and he was giving out to the crowd that they weren’t rowdy enough
He’s a pissy fucker when all the attention isn’t on him. I’ve seen him tell a crowd to “Shit the fuck up and listen.”
