Eminem Gig
27 06 2003I was at the Eminem Gig in Punchestown last night. Wasn’t a bad night, the show actually turned out to be better than I thought it would, tho the disappointment for me was that for a lot of tracks Eminem was playing to a very strong backing track, and could well have been miming too. For a rapper I think this is a very poor show. A lot of the songs that I knew (his better known ones) also stuck very true to the single/radio versions that we all know, save for a bit of scratching and one or two of his support rappers having a go.
The crowd was unreal, I mean we’re talking scumbag central here! 
but I had a good laugh at them.
Getting in and out of Punchestown last night was an aabsolute nightmare, we joined the traffic jam at Newlands Cross on the way down, and luckily I picked up on a diversion that was mentioned on AA Roadwatch that most other people seemed to miss, but it still took us close on two hours to get there. Coming home was an absolute nightmare, it took 2 hours to get out of the car-park along, and nearly 3 and a half hours to get home (a journey that could be done in about 40 minutes on a normal day!) and I have to say that the Gardai are pretty guilty of being at fault here, there didn’t seem to be any traffic management taking place and the guards were also pretty sparse on the ground!
You think the time it took u to get home was bad?…We came from Galway, it took us 5 hours to get there, and 7 to get home…4 of which were spent begging the bus driver to let us off for a pee.On the way up we had to listen to “Clare FM” on the radio…Oh my God, the memory gives me the shivers.So anyway, after being dumped 3 miles from my house at 7am next morning I managed to get home just in time for WORK! So…consider yourselves lucky.
(Mind u I still think getting a look at Em live was worth …well, some of it anyway!)
