prancingpony Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Does anyone know if 'up stand/seat' on the confirmation means I'm upstairs? Logic would make me think yes, but I'm really hoping I'm downstairs?

Sandperson Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 It might help if you told us which venue you were going to...and the only Beirut I know is the Paris of the Middle East.I did see Art Brut last night though so bring me tea! :)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6216-beirut-gig/#findComment-199700 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm Camden, ore than likely as it goes.

prancingpony Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Ha ha, enough of the LOTR References already!I haven't actually heard any NMH, heard of them but don't know of any of their songs, butI will have to look into them definitely Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6216-beirut-gig/#findComment-199864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Agree that Gulag Orkestar and Lon Gisland are the best. Not heard the new one.Like NMH - two headed boy...genius!How was the gig PP?

prancingpony Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 It was really good although I was slightly miffed they didn't play "the night with the prostitute in marseilles" etc from the new album but I was completely in love with Zac Condon by the end of it; more so than I was before!!I even got to meet him before the night was out, made a complete show of myself but that was definitely one of my top 5 best gig moments.Gulag and Lon Gisland are my favourites too. The new one has a couple of good songs on it but it's split into 2 and neither are very long. Best songs being "My Wife" on March of the Zapotec and "the night with the prostitute from Marseille", I think.They seemed on good form too, enjoying the crowd's enthusiasm. They pretty much could do no wrong by the crowd and there seemed to be a good feeling all roundAll in all, great gig, would defintiely see them again Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6216-beirut-gig/#findComment-200466 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Ha! Great summary - glad you had a good time and most amusing about how you were when you met him. Happens to us all.Thanks for the summary of the new album - I need to have a listen.
