The only thing I think that comes close these days is "The Big Day Out" series of concerts.
There were a few things that struck me in the clip. One was how well behaved the crowd was. There was some slight movement from people but on the whole they just stood and listened. I can only assume that they were either well brought up or they were stoned out of their heads! The other thing was how thin people looked. I could not see one overweight person on stage or in the crowd. Is this a reflection on our lifestyle today or merely a skewed sample of society from 40 odd years ago?
Anyway, that was a dead-set grouse clip! I think I'll go and watch my copy of Puberty Blues and get another big dose of my teenage years. Hell, I'm going to get that on Thursday night when I go and see the Doobie Brothers!!
Cheers,
Mario
