The best concerts I've been to were-:
Pink Floyd who were just as good if not better live.
Black Sabbath's Heaven and Hell tour, where I had to jam wads of wet toilet paper in my ears cause I was seated right next to the speakers.
David Bowie's Glass Spider and Let's Dance tours.

Love these
Rodriguez - Cold Fact
Janis Joplin - Pearl
The Cure
Violent Femmes
Patti Smith

Which gig did you see jjj? I went to the Sydney concert at the EntCent in 1984 (if I remember rightly) to the first one they did without Roger. I had to think at the time that they really didn't need him either, as the show was brilliant without.

funny you guys are sayin that, the best concert i ever saw/heard was The Cure headlining Glastonbury in the UK in 1990 (i have seen a lot of shows) - FREAKIN AWESOME FREAKY experience! but I saw them once (or twice?) since then here in Adelaide in the 90's, and I couldnt believe it was the same band/guy, weird! it was a much tamer and milder sound, but still great of course - but i still get chills recalling the glastonbury show!

JJJ, Alan Parsons was born in 1948, so he was well in his mid-20's and had already done the beatles abbey road in '69, by the time he did dsm around '73 - listen alan parsons project stuff, its all very pink floyd-ish like to me!

I thought they were here in late '86. I'm sure I had to get mum to babysit so I could go. Maybe not. Things are a little blurry that far back.
We went to the Brisbane Entertainment Center to see them.
I took my cousins wife with me, who is from one of the smaller isolated isles of the Torres Strait. She was absolutely blown away with the whole experience. The big pig, the bed flying over the audience, brilliant stuff.

Kearn, Ah yes, thank you for correcting me.
His music is very Floydish, but that is probably it's appeal to me. Apart from the fact that it has strong Sci-Fi links to some of the lyrics.

Hi JJJ, that would have been fantastic to see Pink Floyd in concert, I'm soooo jealous . I did get to see ZZ Top in concert when they did their world tour many years ago, but I missed out on seeing Led Zeppelin in 72 at Randwick, I couldn't understand mum's reasoning about a 12 year old traveling to Sydney alone to see a rock concert

cheers

I have seen that doco a while back on SBS, it was a very good insight into the making of the album and quite fascinating.

Definitely worth watching

Wasn't it great they did a fair swag of the earlier (80s and 90s) stuff.

I missed out on the Zooropa tour ... but I could hear it from where I was living at Erskineville in Sydney at the time. Sounded great but I think the Vertigo tour was a cut above, actually.

I didn't expect them to play as long as they did, although I was expecting something special after they cancelled in April.

Glad you enjoyed it so much.
It was just brilliant!
Thats was my FIRST big concert i've been to...i was hoping the concert would go on forever!!!!
Their new song they just made sounded great! I reckon they could go for a few more tours before they retire, they keep producing the goodies as far as awesome songs go!

I also went to SPLIT ENZ in March or April earlier in the year at the Sydney Entertainment Centre and that was great too!
I bought a really cool t-shirt from the Split Enz concert, pity the U2 shirts weren't retro-style!

I have that "Classic Albums" rockumentary on DVD, one of the most amazing parts was the "On the Run" song they did from synthesizers....it was 20 years ahead of its time!!

If you buy the DVD theres extra bits from David Gilmour playing just his guitar...like the bit in the doco where he did the guitar solo for "TIME",he does Us and Them, steel slide guitar parts from the Great Gig in the sky and Breathe, and i think ive just about worn that part out!

I'm learning the chords to "breathe" on my guitar at the moment...coming along ok!

Hi OBMY, you have reminded me of a concert I went to in 1978 at the ANU.
They billed it as a triple treat, Split Enz, Skyhooks and Renee Geyer all for $7.00, wont see that again.

cheers
