Gotta go see the Tedeschi Trucks in 6 weeks. Pffft. Very samey. My Friends and the old girl are making me go. At least it’s at the Palais.
Boooooring !!
Yeah he’s a good guitarist. Wouldn’t deny that. I just get bored with bluesy/country music. Not my thing.Going to see them as well, I love 'em. Derek Trucks is the best guitar player on the planet IMO.
Did Jimmy sing Love Song?Went to the Red Hot Summer tour yesterday in Mornington with half of Melbourne. Lineup highlighted by Noiseworks, Scotland’s Simple Minds & Icehouse.
Honestly Jon Stevens a tough act for anyone to follow. Just a brilliant rock vocalist who could sing anything & make it sound good.
The other acts were solid but probably not the right kind of environment for them to shine.
Having done these festivals a few times now they are a great day out & good value. So well organised & whether you like all the bands or not they’re still fun hearing their small ‘best of’ sets.
If Jerome Borazio is still involved with Laneway, which i think he is, then it will always be a cash grab.Went to Laneway in Brisbane. Last minute offer to accompany a friend who works in the music industry, free ticket. We were 2 of maybe 50 people over 25. Music was mostly crap, tik tok sensations, boring. A couple were OK. Again, we were not the target demographic.
2 comments on how festivals have changed:
1. there were nominally 3 beers available, one craft low carb, one craft ginger, one zero alc. I'd argue none of these were real beers. Alternatively there were 20 or 30 modern day low calorie UDLs.
2. There were no pass outs. You couldn't leave. This is outrageous and a cynical cash-grab. What is the point of wrist bands? Thats why they were invented, so you can come and go. The festival wasn't a great place to relax and hang out, 35 degree heat, not much shade and concrete everywhere. My mate said it is based on some *smile* premise of stopping drugs coming in, but he said its common knowledge in the industry that its to keep all the spending inside the festival. I'd reckon that would be an easy legal challenge meself, not that I'd ever bother.
Yes. The answer is Yes.Went to see the Goo Goo Dolls and Matchbox Twenty tonight at Roid Laver. Both very good.
For future reference, if 2 guys are behind you, talking loudly throughout the time when the band is playing (generally about crap not related to music), would I (as a normally non-violent person), be within my rights to punch them in the face???
One of your best Toigs.Pfft, 96,000 watched Taylor Swift at the G last night, big deal !!
109,000 watched RFC captain Freddie Swift play at the G in the 1967 Grand Final
Yes! I’m seeing them tonight at Rochford Estate - looking forward to it!Went to see the Goo Goo Dolls and Matchbox Twenty tonight at Roid Laver. Both very good.

Pissed me off so much, it certainly took the gloss off the night and made my enjoyment of the night much worse than it should be.

Got a brother up Healesville way..... reckons the traffic last weekend for whomever played was.....Been a big week gig wise as am another off to Rochford to see Matchbox 20 tonight. Seen them before & they're a very good live act. Looking forward to it.
Yeah I find the hate on the event and Taylor to be ridiculous.Amazing scenes and atmosphere when I wandered through Yarra Park late yesterday arvo, had to be seen to be believed really, uplifting to see nothing but joyous thousands invade the Richmond precinct.
What a place to live when an event comes to town
Good on ya Tay Tay!
Agree. This girl definitely can sing and play music instruments compared to other hopeless wonders who just concentrate on sticking their arse out to gain attention and popularity.Yeah I find the hate on the event and Taylor to be ridiculous.
That community is fantastic, not for me but it’s a phenom that I haven’t seen before.
Freddie was her great grandfather.Pfft, 96,000 watched Taylor Swift at the G last night, big deal !!
