Well, that's the end of my Don mini trip for a while !!
Even though Don seemed aware that the audience in Dublin were not as enthusiastic as the Cork audience , he rocked the night away!! The show had some sound/lighting issues at the start and Don seemed to be a bit off, but he soon got into it and got the audience on their feet!! He looked really well and had shaved his beard/stubble off!!
I don't think it could have topped the show in Cork as that was just amazing given the more relaxed atmosphere(6000 in Cork compared to 14,000 in Dublin).
As soon as Don changed into his now famous green plaid shirt, the show came to life. Don had the guitar for The Last Resort but he didn't really play it - I think it was more of a prop to calm his nerves as he didn't use it in Cork. We sat there at the start willing the audience to love him and they did - I don't think Cass County was as well known in Dublin, only the hardcore fans seemed to know the songs - DD can correct me if I'm wrong here.
I have to say that Steuart was brilliant as usual but I'm totally loving Chris Holt!! His playing against Steuart and on his solo bits was just fantastic and I loved watching him - Don picked a good one there!!
All in all, it was brilliant and I'm now suffering from Don withdrawal symptoms, think I have to start saving for more Don shows![]()
