Current mood:
excited Well last night was a bit like going back in time, I have been trying to work out how long it has been since I had been to see Crowded House. From the age of 16 I saw them about 15 to 20 times in a range of venues around Melbourne, including Myers roof top, Festivil hall Sidney Myer music bowl, Tropicana club, and both down stairs and in the ball room at The Venue in St Kilda. I did attend the last show ever at The Venue which I think was the end of an era for many. Other highlights include the NYE recording of rock Arena at the ABC studios in Elsternwick.
So lets say it has been close to 18 years since I had seen them live, of course with the loss of the late and great Paul Hester I could not help but feel a little sad on the way to the gig, attending with me were of course , Kaz (a queen of boobie land) and Tommy ( a new mate) We headed of to pick of Kaz and Tommy and stopped for a champange along the way. Augie-March opened with a great set, did I have anything to do with the with the comment that someone yelled out in the silence before they started (show us your pink bits!) hmmmmm well what do you think??
I was feeling fairly average with a head cold and dozed up on cold and flu tablets, but seriously excited about having 3rd row seats!! ( thanks Kaz)
I am not going to go into the show in great detail except to say Melbourne what is it with people sitting at concerts? I was dancing in my seats at old favs that took me back to late nights at The Venue were it all started way back when. Nick Seymour is still as I remember him, I would love to have 30 mins to chat over a vodka with him. Nick always took time to speak to groups of fans male and female. I have often wondered what the band remembered from way back then. I will probably never know. Neil the ever talented song writer. Tribute to Hessie words can not describe how I feel about his passing. Life so unfair for those left behind Mardi and his girls.
I would love to go and see them again tonight that would really be reliving the past.
Thanks for a great night Crowdies and thanks David, kaz and Tommy for being there could not think of anyone I would rather have had there to share the experience.
