And I thought what we might do 14 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 3: tonight next Monday for our column in the t Yeah, 15 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 3: I thought we might write about some of the concerts 16 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 3: at Memorial Drive and the reason I was reminded of 17 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 3: Memorial Drives versatility. Just recently, you know, they announced that 18 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 3: ac DC was coming for this final concert tour for 19 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 3: the BP Adelaide Grand Final, the Race. But I I 20 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 3: don't know why it's now they've dropped the five hundred. 21 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 3: It's called the Grand Final, and. 22 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: I think because it's the last one of the year. 23 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of confusing. I'm thinking, I'm thinking footing 24 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 3: ground fight, what's going on? But ac DC, I was 25 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,559 Speaker 3: really amazed at the amount of excitement. Somebody's leaping down 26 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 3: and going wow, whoa. And I'm thinking, hang on, here's 27 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 3: a group that was started when I was on radio. 28 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 3: I was playing a CDC records and and they're still 29 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 3: going I'm retired, what's going on? 30 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 4: Yeah? 31 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: Here different. 32 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 3: So I thought about some of the other things that 33 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 3: have happened at a Memorial Driving. I thought, well, well, 34 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 3: let's let's look back and and see what's happened at 35 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 3: Memorial Driver over the years. I think it was my 36 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 3: earliest memory of me going to a concert. There was 37 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 3: in nineteen seventy two Robert Stigwood, who was the great 38 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 3: promoter from Adelaide and eventually of course went to England 39 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 3: and set the world on fire with Running the Begs 40 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 3: and Jesus Christ Superstar etc. He actually opened the nineteen 41 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 3: seventy two Adelaide Festival of Arts at Memorial Drive right 42 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 3: with a musical version of Jesus Christ Superstars. Very first 43 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 3: times it was performed in Australia, we'd already been playing 44 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 3: the album on the air on Fi Vede. I remember 45 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 3: we were playing the album and tracks from it, and 46 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 3: then with the Festival of Arts coming, Robert brought the 47 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 3: as a bit of a favor to Adelaide. I guess 48 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 3: brought the whole show to Adelaide, not as a stage production, 49 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 3: but as just a musical. I think they call it 50 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 3: an oratorio, where they just present the music of the musical. 51 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: This is before the Festival Center, of course. 52 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, ninety seventy two. Of course, they had various concerts 53 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 3: around the city of Adelaide back in those days. And 54 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 3: I can remember I went there along with my wife 55 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 3: at the time, we were newly married, well a couple 56 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 3: of years anyway, and it was a very impressive show. 57 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 3: As I recall, Robert Stigwood came, he flew out from 58 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 3: London along with a whole group of people and he 59 00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 3: bought with him the writer Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd 60 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 3: Webber really were in the audience, how about that? 61 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: And so it was. 62 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 3: It was a very big deal. And I was very 63 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 3: impressed with that, and I was thinking, what's happened to 64 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 3: Memorial Drive? Oh gosh, you know, there were lots of 65 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 3: things happening there, you know. In fact, I went back 66 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 3: into the archives that the Advertiser and nineteen fifty seven 67 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 3: I found a Johnny Ray who's saying walking in the rain, 68 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 3: just walking in the rain, I don't remember or cry. 69 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 3: Two huge hits from the nineteen fifties. Johnny Ray actually 70 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 3: came to Adelaide and performed at Memorial Drive, right, So 71 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 3: it's history as an entertainment venue goes back a long way. 72 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 3: How old the Drive is, Well, I know it was back. 73 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 3: I know it was around in the fifties, certainly because 74 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 3: they used to play the Davis Cup there and Lou 75 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 3: Hoad and Ken Roseware we're playing at the Drive and 76 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 3: in those days, of course the Davis Cup was the 77 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 3: equivalent of the Australian Open. Now it was huge. This 78 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 3: was before we had professional tennis and professional tennis players 79 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 3: and so it's been around possibly since the nineteen forties, 80 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 3: and so it was fascinating to see the whole Johnny 81 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 3: Ray scene. And of course then in ninety seventy two, 82 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 3: going back to ninety seventy two, not you know, just 83 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 3: talking about his Cross Superstar that was in February. But 84 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 3: later on in the year we had led Zeppelin really 85 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 3: come to town and played at the Drive. Led Zeppelin, that's amazing. 86 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 3: Stair Way to heaven man going to California. Yeah, Oh, 87 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 3: lot of love wonderful, you know, almost the DNA of music. 88 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: Yep. 89 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 3: So they performed there. We had in nineteen seventy three, 90 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 3: we had let me see, we had the Rolling Stones 91 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,119 Speaker 3: yees roll into town. 92 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: Now. That was momentous, wasn't it. 93 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 3: Now? That was a huge, huge concert. 94 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 2: Not their first time, because they'd played Centennial Park Hall 95 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 2: I reckon before, Yeah, I think so. 96 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 3: But in oh or did. 97 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: They I don't know. I thought they did. 98 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 3: But anyway, seventy three, I mean, you might be right, 99 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 3: I reckon might be Yeah, you're probably right, Yeah, yeah, 100 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 3: you're probably right. Anyway, ninety seventy three was particularly interesting 101 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 3: because they played there for two nights and both nights 102 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 3: sold out completely, crowds gathering outside well, you know, just 103 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 3: listening to the music rather than go in and pay 104 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 3: the money. And I think what happened was that the 105 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 3: police tried to move them on on both nights. 106 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: I didn't break. 107 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 3: Into an absolute right right rights on both nights. And 108 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 3: I was wondering tonight whether we had anybody it's still 109 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 3: still with us who might have been there on those 110 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 3: on those two nights. One of those two nights, they 111 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 3: were throwing. 112 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: Beer bottles at each other. 113 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 3: It's unreal. 114 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: It was. 115 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 3: It was absolutely you know, the cops were attacked, but 116 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 3: I think that was the reason why. I think they 117 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 3: tried to move everybody on. And so you know, there 118 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 3: were bottles being thrown and eggs and all sorts of things. Yeah, 119 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 3: And then of course mid seventies, nineteen seventy four, David 120 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 3: Cassidy as well of the Partridge family. I remember the 121 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 3: Partridge family there. So David was at the height of 122 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 3: his fame. He was He had Cherish as his hit 123 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 3: single and how can I Be Sure, among other hits. 124 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 3: And then later on that same year Black Sabbath right 125 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 3: and Status Quo Rocket Roll Mate. What fantastic names, incredible history, 126 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 3: and so one has to ask the question, why don't 127 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 3: we get those kind of acts at Memorial Drive anymore? 128 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 3: It just seems like everything's gone very quiet. I know 129 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 3: there have been a few, and I think there is 130 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 3: somebody coming, but not the caliber. Oh yeah, yeah, these 131 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 3: kinds of acts. Yeah, I was having a look at 132 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 3: some of them. Then a little bit later on Eric Clapton, 133 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 3: he was here. Elton John. In fact, Elton John came 134 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 3: three times and played at the Driver nineteen seventy nine 135 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 3: and nineteen eighty four. He obviously really loved the love 136 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 3: of the place. Rod Stewart in the nineteen eighty Yeah, 137 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 3: and you know, just looking then at. 138 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: Dire Straits played there. 139 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 3: Kenny Rogers back in nineteen eighty seven, Linel Richie Stevie. 140 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 3: Wonder is that my first concert was there as well? 141 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 3: And I don't know that we have those sort of 142 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 3: yeah acts anyway, I know. 143 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 2: And look, if they come to Australia, they miss Adelaide 144 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 2: unless the premiere into things. It's Katie Perry here for 145 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 2: a few nights. So indeed, but Cold Chisel played there 146 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 2: any culture times in. 147 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 3: Excess, in excess, we had Midnight Oil, Coley Minogue. They've 148 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 3: all been there. So what who's been to a concert 149 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 3: at Memorial Drive particularly? I mean, we can talk about 150 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 3: some of the other concerts, but we'd love to hear 151 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 3: from people. My my feeling about Memorial Driver is that 152 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 3: it was kind of like a a kind of a 153 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 3: half way house, wasn't it It was? It was. It 154 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 3: wasn't absolutely huge, That's right, it wasn't. It was open air. 155 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 3: You didn't have to book the whole Adelate Oval. You know, 156 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 3: that would be too big for most groups. So Memorial 157 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 3: Drive kind of sat right in the middle. 158 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: It was. 159 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 3: It was almost perfect, and it would be now because 160 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 3: you know it's been done up, it's been I reckon 161 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 3: Fleetwood Mac played there too, Oh they did in the eighties. Absolutely. 162 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 3: In fact, a lot of people reckoned that that Fleetwood 163 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 3: Mac concept in the eighties was one of the best 164 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 3: concerts ever that they've ever seen. 165 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: Is that right? 166 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 3: Well Fleetwood Mac, Yeah, they were one of them, were big, 167 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 3: one of the greatest groups of all time. 168 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: So that's a big wrap. 169 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, so so many people, so many global sensations, 170 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 3: so many local acts. Would you go to the Drive? Now? 171 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: Depending who for? 172 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 3: Oh well yeah, can you can you stage a concert there? 173 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 4: Now? 174 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 2: It's a bigger question because it's got the roof.

Anyway, I think 350 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 3: Paul got a little bit annoyed about the fact that 351 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 3: he was then finding it very difficult to meet that 352 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 3: same kind of Simon and Garfunkel Lemon because together they 353 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 3: worked beautifully well. 354 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 2: He had top billing. It was Simon and Garfunkle, not 355 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 2: Garfunkle and Simone. 356 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 3: That's true, but garf Uncle was the was the voice 357 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 3: on the coattails. 358 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Paula Bella Clava good, Paul, Oh, that's 359 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 2: to you and Bob. 360 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 4: Yeah.

To the Lakes of Queen, who 437 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 3: his uncle described as animals. Well, apparently they urinated in 438 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 3: the corner of the green room. But you see there 439 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 3: were no toilets. Oh really for Queen to go to 440 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 3: had those separate toilets.

It 460 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 3: was almost impossible to park on a side street. I 461 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 3: do remember the craziness of Apollo Stadium and trying to 462 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 3: get a park there. You know, if it was if 463 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 3: it was a big concert. 464 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: Because it was surrounded by it was on an empty 465 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: block essentially. 466 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 3: And it was just in the middle of the suburbia. 467 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 1: And they weren't lined parks. It just parked wherever wherever. 468 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:35,479 Speaker 3: John Wright remembers working as a car parking attendant concert 469 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 3: nights to raise money for his basketball club. I also 470 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 3: worked as an usher for many years and saw some 471 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 3: great acts, often dual time or multiple times, such as 472 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 3: Paul McCartney, Wings U two and Excess Queen, Crowded House, Temptations. 473 00:28:54,360 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 3: I remember that Temptations concert amazing, Tina Turner for Tramp, 474 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 3: Sergio Mendez and Brazil sixty six.

I remember the 479 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 3: BG's concert there and the Beg's coming on stage and 480 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 3: and I think they came on in darkness, and you know, 481 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 3: the suddenly went on, Wow, just erupted.

She seemed decidedly unhappy at not having 500 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 3: a full house, which she definitely deserved to have, you know, 501 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 3: based on sure on her performances and. 502 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: Give it it only what two thousand? 503 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, so it wasn't very big, so you know, she 504 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 3: said five hundred yeah, yeah, maybe, and and she was 505 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 3: on stage for just over an hour and that was it. 506 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 3: She refused to come back for an encore really, even 507 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 3: though the audience clapped for almost five minutes hoping to 508 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 3: get her back, she refused. Wow, and the person writing 509 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 3: in said, Unfortunately, I lost a lot of respect for 510 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 3: her that night.
