36
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 4: It was about I'd found out about eight in the

37
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,640

Speaker 3: Yeah.

46
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 2: Well, your popularity here in Australia made It's it's massive,

47
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: it's it's over the top. And can we just say

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: that the the performance that you had with Tracy Chapman

49
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 2: at the at the Grammys is one of the greatest

50
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: of all time. I Mean, we haven't seen Tracy for

51
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: such a well, but it's for such a long time,

52
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 2: and for her to do that and come out and

53
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: perform with you, Loke, I mean you would have that

54
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: would have been nerve wracking for you for that performance.

55
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 4: Oh man, I was definitely. I was definitely worried about

56
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 4: about messing up, for sure. But we rehearsed for I

57
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 4: don't know, four or five days for that, me and her,

58
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 4: and you know, we we both we both wanted to

59
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 4: make sure that it was going to be perfect.

60
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 3: You know, obviously she hasn't done anything in such a

61
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: long time, and so, you know, we knew it was

62
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 3: I think we knew it would be a cool moment.

63
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 4: I don't think we kind of anticipated that it would,

64
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 4: you know, be what it turned turned into. But yeah, man,

65
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 4: it was one of my favorite moments of my career

66
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 4: for sure.

67
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: Actually, well, what we're talking about we've spoken about because

Speaker 2: it's a very great version.

95
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: Can't imagine Tracy taking to the stage with a few

96
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: of those others, can I ask you? You're talking about

97
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: nerves of maybe stuffing up, you know, when you're there

98
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: on the main stage and Tracy Chapman's there and you've

99
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: performed obviously with Edge Year and you mate, but has

100
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: there been a moment where you have stuffed up?

101
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 3: Like national anthems.

102
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: Always make me nervous, But have you ever have you

103
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: ever publicly done forgotten the words?

104
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 4: Or I mean, I mean you know, I've definitely I've

105
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 4: definitely forgot words for sure, no doubt about that.

106
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 3: You know, at my shows, I've definitely done that.

107
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 4: But I can't think of any like massive platform here

108
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 4: or it's like a massive platform like meltdown or like

109
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 4: completely blown it.
