Progress Tour Dublin

Thanks to Diario italiano rw,Sophie,Anne

From Rob's blog:

HOLY SHIT!
I CAN HONESTLY SAY EVERY SHOW WE'VE DONE SO FAR
HAS BEEN REALLY SPECIAL.....
FROM THE LOVE WE RECEIVED FROM THE GENTLE FOLK
IN THE NORTH EAST.... WHERE WE LEARNT TO BE A BAND AGAIN
....TO THE GRIT AND PERSEVERANCE
OF THE MANCHESTER CROWD THAT GOT PEE'D ON MOST NIGHTS.....
I'D KINDA FOUND MY PERFORMING FEET IN MANNY'
MOST NIGHTS WATCHING YOU ALL BOUNCE UP AND DOWN
IN LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU WAS A RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE
AND THEN THERE WAS THE WELSH CROWD THAT OUT SUNG THEM ALL.....
WE WON'T FIND OURSELVES IN A BETTER VENUE ON THIS TOUR.....
SO HUGE BUT SO INTIMATE AND I/WE FELT THE LOVE
BUT OH MY LORD....IRELAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME ON SUNDAY NIGHT.....?
I GAVE EVERYTHING I HAD ON SATURDAY AND AS EXPECTED
YOUR PERFORMANCE WAS BETTER THAN MINE.....(ONLY JUST ; )
SO MUCH SO THAT IT WAS WITH A BIT OF TREPIDATION
THAT I MADE MY WAY BACK TO CROKE PARK THE NEXT DAY
FEELING A LITTLE JADED AND DRAINED FROM THE NIGHT BEFORE....
(SUCH HIGH HIGHS THERE HAS TO BE A COME DOWN....)
BUT I WASN'T EXPECTING WHAT CAME NEXT.....
I PROPER LOST MY SHIT......
THE OVERWHELMING GOOD WILL...LOVE...SMILES
HAPPINESS,APPROVAL AND ACCEPTANCE
BEAMING STRAIGHT TO THE STAGE
TRANSFORMED ME FROM PREENING PEACOCK
PRIMA DONNA SHOWMAN
TO A BALL OF MUSH WITHIN SECONDS.....
IT WAS SO POWERFUL THAT I DIDN'T
KNOW IF I WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO COLLECT
MYSELF ....
PROPER FLOORED ..THERE'S A TEAR IN MY EYE THINKING
ABOUT IT NOW....
YES, THE GIGS HAVE RANGED FROM BRILLIANT TO RELIGIOUS
EVERY NIGHT .........BUT SUNDAY NIGHT CROKE PARK
WAS LIFE DEFINING .......IT WILL STAY WITH ME FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE....
IRELAND I BOW TO YOU....
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN XXXXXXXXXXXXX
