What bands have you seen....

[Guest]

I did a quick search and cant find a thread on the subject so do tell, what bands have you seen, either recently, or over the years....

Just last night I saw Jon Stevens in all his glory at Rooty Hill RSL.....and Freakin hell he is sooooo hot.....He has just 3 months ago had open heart surgery and this is his get well tour......

He was smokin, and apart from the fact that he had a stool to rest on a fair bit of the time, and had sweat dripping off him...which wanst a bad thing......he was on fire.....

Cant wait for him to be "fully match fit" as he put it and tour again with Noiseworks.....I will be there, front row again........

I'm not a rock fan, so I don't see 'bands' as such.

Seen:

- Justin Timberlake @Acer Arena
- Snoop Dogg @Acer Arena
- Jurassic 5 @Fox Studios
- Bloody Beetroots @Home Bar

Also attended Stereosonic at Moore Park a month ago, saw Zombie Nation, Axwell, Chicane, John Dahlback, Fedde Le Grand, and Deadmau5. Missed out on Bloody Beetroors and Crookers unfortunately, but I got to see Bloody Beetroots at Home Bar the week after.

Going to also attend Future Music Festival in March, some great dance and electro acts there too, like Boyz Noize, Booka Shade, The Prodigy, David Guetta, and rock/pop groups Franz Ferdinand and Empire Of The Sun.

I have been a music fan for many years and when I was in my younger years would go and see just about every international act that came to Australia. These days I am a bit more selective depending on the act, the venue and the price.

U2
Rolling Stones
Rush
10,000 Maniacs

Come again?

If I haven't missed the context of your question, it was just a great concert in a fantastic atmosphere.

He played the State Theatre, so it was quite compact and you felt he enjoyed his work and being in front of an audience.

I will second that.

As a result of this thread, I have dragged one of his albums out and will copy onto my mp3 player.

My brother, who thinks Midnight Oil are mellow, thought I had "come out of the closet" when I came home with the Jumpin' Jive album absolutely loved it.

Footnote: (My brother is roosters fan, which made our footy discussions a trifle terse there for a while.)
