This day 41 years ago was the first concert at Slane Castle with Thin Lizzy headlining.

Were any of yous there?

Favourite act you've seen at Slane if you've been?

What band/artist would make you suffer through that walk home to do it all again these days?

I love Slane. I think I've been to 9 gigs there over the years. It's never easy but always worth it. Can't pick a best but the worst was definitely the year Bryan Adams headlined.

Was at that too. Weren’t the cranberries also on the bill.

The only way to do slate is helicopter in and VIP exit out as soon as last chord is struck.

Think the gig finished at 11 and we were still walking for the buses at 1:30. The amphitheater and castle view is pretty spectacular but the access is a nightmare

Been to a few. Went to Madonna with 2 free tickets and even that didn’t make it tolerable. Easily the worst.

Best was the foo fighters with queen a close second. 2 very different bands at 2 very different times. It rained for both. Would go to see either there again in the morning but only if Freddie was still up front for queen.
