Also saw Opeth a few years back, stunning musicianship. I rate that one very highly.
Took mum to Crowded House playing in support of their last album, was outdoors with the picnic rugs etc had a great time.
Black Sabbath last year, didn't know what to expect (and didn't think I would ever get to see them) but it was bloody excellent!

Worst gig? No such thing if you drink enough

It's a shame Karnivool don't get much air play outside triple j.If more people heard them i think they would like it.Sabbath would have been awesome it amazes me how Ozzy can still do it,he ain't in the best shape these days.

Crowed house is a group i have always wanted to see.The Finn brothers have written some very good lyrics along with Paul Kelly both are very good songwriters.

Good call on Clapton saw him about 8 years ago he was ****ing good absolute guitar god for me it's a toss up between him and David Gilmour. Shame to here about the Badloves, around the time green limo came out it seemed they were heading for big things.

Sabbath really was great, Iommi has not lost a beat. Definite guitar lord!

probably one of the first Festival style concerts, from memory started around midday and went through to around 10 PM at the Chandler Velodrome.... it was toured around the country as well

What a line up hell yeah!!! The saints seem a odd choice in that group, **** the Sex Pistols they were the god fathers of punk.

Yea it was a huge day out, the saints were there as it was an all Aussie line up after all, seeing Jimmy Barnes and Micheal Hutchence singing Good Times live was cool, at the end and to close the concert the whole line up performed Good Times as an encore... Pretty Epic ........... Big fan of the Sex Pistols too, still crank it up in the shed some Friday arvos with a few beers to unwind..... some of the neighbours even nod in agreeance too

jimmy barnes was the worst big scale concert i ever had the displeasure of going to...

small scale pub concert it is a toss up between ivers davies ice house and billy thorpe... billy thorpe cause the man knew how to rock the ****ing house down and ice house for truly splendid reproduction of their recorded sound..

It's a strange one with Barnes i have heard some horror stories about his concerts and yet some say it's the greatest thing they ever saw. I have only seen him once at Fishermans Wharf along with James Reyne must admit it was a good show by both.

Only found out recently that Guy Pratt was playing bass for Ice House for a while before touring with Pink Floyd.

Slim Dusty

That would have been a wicked day bud.It surprises me the amount of people that don't know a band from the ****hole that is Inala called the Saints were doing the punk thing before the Sex Pistols.
