Damien Rice - Marley Park


The biggest headliner gig this troubadour did was last night in Marley park in Dublin. Together with many other singer-songwriter in the likes of Fion Regan, Willy Mason and KT Tunstell he proved to be able to entertain and satisfy this large crowd. Luckily the irish sky gods were with us today and kept it dry. Cleverly avoiding some cliches Damien played a nice mix of his louder songs (Woman like a man kicked ass), only to slow down once behind the piano for an excellent Accidental Babies (one of my favourite songs). Like all shows in his last tour he finished it off with the drunken man's version of Cheers Darlin', but not before inviting many friend on stage such as Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova.
Complements go out to the organisation at Marley Park. I've never seen such a well organised outdoor concert.
