Pixies in the Marquee, Cork, June 30th

OOps! Crossed purposes there. I was actually referring to the Prodigy themselves. Saw them (prodigy) 'live' a few years ago in the Odyssey. Not great at all. Those dots in the middle distance could have been anyone.

Prodigy for me for sure!

I caught the Cure in Dublin in 92, great gig

Haha!  Was at that one myself. Like you say, great gig. 3 effing hours they played. Magic!

I thought the Jacks was funny, guys and girls in both, sharing hairspray and makeup!

Saw the prodigy down the Marquee a couple of years ago, and as it's a fairly small venue, you got a really good view, even from the back. I made the mistake of thinking I was young again, by going down to the moshpit, nearly getting trampled by all the headbangers, and then struggling to get back out! I enjoyed the rest of the gig from a safer distance with the rest of the oldies!

i have heard from a few people that the sound in the marquee is not great in general. i have not had the chance to catch any bands there yet. pixies and neil young are both bands/musician i would like to see. neil young played a gig recently at rds in dublin so he can still pull a good crowd. i saw pearl jam at green glens in Millstreet about '96 or '97 it was one of the first gigs i went to. again i think they have got a bit flat since their no code album

I've been to a good few gigs down there, and the sound has generally been very good, but they have not really been bands/musicians, i.e. faithless/moby/prodigy etc, so maybe certain things sound better in a big tent! The worst gig that I ever saw down there, was Kanye West that I was dragged to, sound and music were both rubbish. Best gig was Jedward, with my young fella, as they really put on a good show, and I'm only half joking about that! Most frustrating night was madness, when the beer tent blew down, was not a happy camper that night! Cork doesn't really have any fixed venues big enough to hold a crowd to make it worth it for the bigger names, but that might be sorted by the plans for the old beamish site. Not a big fan of heineken in general, but if they can push through their plans to have that site turned into a proper even centre, and I think they will, I will be happy enough.
