the marquee is an appalling venue.. brought the wife to riverdance 2 weeks ago , it was freezing and wet. rain pouring in through the tent.. ts okay on a good summers day and probably alright for young people.. i see lots of gigs there, glad to have the opportunity to see the artists in my home town but would love a better venue.. cyprus avenue is incredible but limited to around a thousand souls... i always got the impression at marquee gigs that a lot of people were just there to be seen or they had gotten free tickets somehow. i remember dylan gig and he doing " like a rolling stone" ,i was up the front, i said to myself it doesnt get much better than this, the guy to my left got up a went away? he was back just as rolling stone( probably the greatest song of all time) finished. he had gone for another pint. incredible , i thought what the fuck was he doing there.
