Event: “25” Live-Tour

Place: RDS Arena, IRL-Dublin

Oh wait. I remember seeing George Michael live before. How could I forget that? Because it was really great.

It was during my time in Ireland that he also played in Dublin with his “25” tour. A friend and I went to the RDS Arena just to see what was going on. We thought that we might get cheap tickets. Like we did for other shows before.

So we walked around the arena and soon found someone selling us 2 seats for about 20 euros. I think they were worth 150 euros each or something. We didn’t really care what seats we had as we just wanted to get in and for 20 Ero you can’t say anything. ^^

It was a pleasant evening so we tried to make our way through the crowd and find our seats. The funny thing was: there were no seats. At least not ours. We asked one of the security guys and were told they didn’t have enough chairs to fill all the seats. We should just sit down in one of the free seats. As a result, we had to move 1-2 times because the concert visitors still came, but at some point we were able to stay seated and enjoy the show.

It was quite a big runway and even though we sat far away we could see enough. It had a huge scaffolding along the back wall for George Michael and the backing singers to climb on.

He ran from side to side of the stage quite a lot. It was incredible to see the crowd celebrating his songs. It was great fun, especially on hits like “Freedom”. That haunted me for days.

According to Setlist.fm, the setlist looked like this:
