I couldn't believe the energy he showed. The only thing I wish was that he'd played Layla with the electric guitar riff at the intro instead of the acoustic guitar more gentle sounds. But a minor quibble. I like Van too but I don't know if he is doing any concerts this year. Dylan is in Cork in 2 weeks but our daughter is in the middle of her state exams so we'll not go. <br /><br />Laura - I am still laughing at the hottie remark! Must tell Martin - he'll be either flattered or horrified that someone described him thus! Glad you like Dublin - when I play tourist there it is really a lovely city and I have some older posts where I show some pics of the city centre. It's very historic and thankfully they restored the docklands during the Celtic Tiger years of the boom as now they couldn't possibly. So I hope it looks well for a long time to come. The Convention Centre and the Beckett Bridge are fast becoming icons of the city. <br />All the best, Catherine.<br /><br />Laura -Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116884676266268214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-49564340523000639902011-05-29T21:56:06.447+01:002011-05-29T21:56:06.447+01:00what a fab night you had ! i absolutely loved dub...what a fab night you had ! i absolutely loved dublin during my - all too short - visit, and im sure clapton put on a good show.<br />nice pics too... your son is a hottie :)<br />~lauraPooch Purple Reignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460865405701466468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-64068624528332114702011-05-22T15:11:48.895+01:002011-05-22T15:11:48.895+01:00Oh, Catherine, that sounds like a wonderful night!...Oh, Catherine, that sounds like a wonderful night! I'm not very good at all those crowds of people but I sure would love to be able to beam myself in to listen and watch.<br /><br />I think Clapton has improved with age...not something to be said of all the aging rockers. I'm a Van Morrison fan - that concert would get me out.Stephanie Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206167025245206754noreply@blogger.com
