bob:
The Clash at Clouldland in Brisbane in 82.
What can I say :)
Sirocco at a little folk festival west of Toowoomba round early 90's,
their an amazing Australian world music band, but what made it
memorable was that this electrical storm caused a power failure
and they didn't miss a beat. It was in this old hall and because
it was on site camping there was plenty of torches round, so
they kept playing this middle eastern type percussion eventually
getting everyone into a circle and leading a dance.
The Saints last year at pig city.
The entire 8 hours was something else actually
The Apartments at the troubadour last june,
30 years since they last played in Brisbane.
The Go-Betweens perform at the October 2005 Multicultural Festival
held in the Roma Street Parklands, it was a free all ages event which
I got to take all my children to. It was the last time I would see them
play as Grant would die in may the next year.
The riptides 1st reformation gig for 4zzz's 10th anniversary,
that was a fantastic night
And Patti Smith at the big day out on the gold coast, January 19, 1997
the first time she had ever played in Australia and I was right up the front
I'd waited years for that one
ciao bob

mmm ... I'm a nice shade of green now bob ;)
you lucky bugger!
lots of memorable shows that put the tingles up the spine just thinking about them again ... just a few off the top ...
WIRE at The Zoo ( I waited years for that one ;)
Bowie - Reality Tour - that entrance to "Rebel Rebel" still makes me all goosey gander ;)
Leonard Cohen - QPAC - some years back - masterful
Bette Midler - Festival Hall - back in the 70's - front row centre what a show and I was one very excitable young boy!
The Saints @ Pig City - natch
Liza Minnelli - Festival Hall - back in the 70's - no one does Liza like Liza - wham bam thank you ma'am!
The Stranglers - the legendary first and second Queens Hotel gigs in Brissy - V2 (Peter McGrath deserved all he got!)
The Ramones - Festival Hall - Brissy - just mad ... just maaaaad :) :)
bob:
Theres a couple of concerts I was at too and a couple I'm jealous of
Bowie - Reality Tour
I'd have to say that was an unbelievable gig,
much better than the serious moonlight or glass spiders tours which were very good already
I was too young for the first time he toured in 78,
but thats my fav bowie period and I have a few boots that tell me it would have been special
Leonard Cohen - QPAC - some years back - masterful
He's at the top of the list of artists I'd like to see, but being 70 odd now it most likely won't happen
The Saints @ Pig City - natch
of course
The Stranglers - the legendary first and second Queens Hotel gigs in Brissy - V2 (Peter McGrath deserved all he got!)
I've a friend who was there its legendary alright, very jealous of this gig,
mind you I still met people who rave about the clash at cloudland
which has entered the legendary.
So was this peter the guy who copped the bass guitar?
The Ramones - Festival Hall - Brissy - just mad ... just maaaaad Smiley Smiley
I was there too, fantastic "1234"
And the sex pistols reunion at festival hall,
now that was fantastic
ciao bob

yup ... Peter McGrath aka V2 was a well known around the scene as a tag along obnoxious little snot fashionista who went to Sandgate High the same time I was there ... but a couple of grades lower
I missed The Clash gig but from all reports, you're right mate ... it sounded legendary
