Dublin crowds are usually very much up for it - although there were a LOT of non-irish people there last night. Going nuts on a Sunday evening is tough when you are trying not to lose your job the next day... as a lot of us are at the moment

Interesting perspective on the crowd and well put. It was only my second SY gig so can only compare it to the show in London the other month, which seemed to have a slightly older crowd, who were quite prepared to sing along and mosh to the likes of DV69 & 'Cross the breeze. It was just a bit different last night, however I would definitely return to Dublin if SY come back next year.
