What's with the music choices this morning, guys, 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: way too early for rock and roll at seven am? 3 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: Do we think it's way too early for rock and 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: roll at seven am, Glen May. For some people, it's 5 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 1: still just the end of the night, exactly right, this 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: is dinner time. Well, look, there's a reason we're playing 7 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: this rock and roll because what we're playing is The Dudes. 8 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: This is the Dudes, recorded live two thousand and six, 9 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: the Big Farewell Tour. And the reason we're playing The 10 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,279 Speaker 1: Dudes live is because the Dudes are coming back. We 11 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: all thought they were done in twenty twenty when they 12 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 1: played their supposedly final gig at Spark Arena. The magnificently 13 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: named what was it the greatest pub gig in the land, 14 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: And it was anyway, it was not. So they're coming back, 15 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: performing a one off show at the Power Station in 16 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: Aucland next month with the blessing of Dave Dobbin, who 17 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: will not be involved, but the lead singer will, and 18 00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: his name is Peter Arlitch and Pete. It's good to 19 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: have you on the show. 20 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 2: Good morning, Andrew. It's good to hear that. It's good 21 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 2: to hear that on the mic costume Breakfast Show. Oh god, 22 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 2: that was so good. 23 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: I mean, did you hear the pounding drums from Lee's 24 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: from handling there? Bruce hambling there? I mean, is he 25 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: still captu of doing that? 26 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 2: Honestly? Bruce is still playing. He's in and a couple 27 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 2: of bands down in christ Church and Andrew. In a way, 28 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,559 Speaker 2: you can kind of blame Bruce for this. It's nice 29 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:32,199 Speaker 2: to blame somebody else because he's in love with the dudes. 30 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 2: And he would ring me about kind of about every 31 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: six weeks, and I'd see the name come up on 32 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 2: the phone like oh no, and then I'd finally pick 33 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 2: come and go home, Bruce, and you go open, have 34 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 2: you heard any news? And I was like no, I 35 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: just thought, you know, we might we might be getting 36 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: back together. And I go uh and there you go. 37 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: You know what that reminds me of? That reminds you of 38 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: Pete Warren better known as Ruder, who's the drummer for 39 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: d D Smass And he's always like, Guys, I'm not 40 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: doing much at the moment, why don't we have a reunion? 41 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: And we've never had a reunion of d D Smash. 42 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: But Peter, here's the thing. You said at the biggest 43 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: pub gig in the world in twenty twenty, I can't 44 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: believe it was so long ago. Either time has flown. 45 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: You said this was your final gig, So what the 46 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: hell is this new gig about. 47 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I said that maybe you could talk 48 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: to Brian Nichols promoter. But you know, on a serious note, 49 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 2: people are thinking, you know, when you say that, you 50 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 2: know how much you know, how much credence do you 51 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 2: give it. But the thing was, Andrew, if you can 52 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 2: only imagine in your own head, when we played those 53 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: last few songs at the Victor Arena and I'm looking 54 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 2: around and I'm thinking, is this really? Is this really 55 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 2: going to be the last time we get up on 56 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,839 Speaker 2: stage and sing these songs? And there was just this 57 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,679 Speaker 2: feeling inside me that thought, oh, well, you know, that's 58 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 2: hard to swallow. And so I guess in the intervening 59 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: four years, you know, we coughed it up again, and 60 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 2: and you know, we thought that that the demand was 61 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 2: still there. These songs are without a word of a lie. Andrew. 62 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 2: Probably every week someone will send me a handheld video 63 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 2: recording of some act somewhere, some occasion where a dude 64 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 2: song was being bashed out, and you know, I just 65 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: thought that the love was still there. So and of 66 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: course we wanted to play. And unfortunately it's very sad 67 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: that our dear friend Dave, who have nonsense I was ten, 68 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 2: is going to concentrate on his solo stuff. We begged 69 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: him to play again, but he said no, we've got 70 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: his blessing. He said, go for it. And so you 71 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: know we're out there. We're out there again. Of course, yeah, 72 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: this is this is the only show we've got. We 73 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 2: don't have anything else. 74 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: As nobody believes that anymore. Mate, I'm telling you a 75 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: confirmed liar. I mean, you've got you've got to you've 76 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: got a record of lying. We've got an audio of 77 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: you like and center. Goodness me, you're like darling Tanna now. 78 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: But no, look, here's here's the thing. My silver bullet 79 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: question was, sir Dave Dobbin will not be involved in 80 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: the concert, and knowing that Dave has has a battle 81 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: against Parkinson's, of course, and nobody said what what the 82 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: story was about? That you can quite easily presume the worst, Peter, 83 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: So so are you saying he had professional requirements to 84 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: fulfill as opposed to he couldn't do it. 85 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 2: I know he's he's still playing, he's still playing with 86 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 2: that incredible report of songs that and but you know, 87 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 2: he's just making sure that the gigs that the Dave 88 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 2: Dobbin gigs that he that he does, you know, you 89 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 2: know he's going to concentrate on that and you know, yeah, 90 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 2: so there's no doubt he will still be on stage 91 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: in his own right. 92 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: In the fore future. 93 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, that's right. 94 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: And there's no doubt that the Dudes will be back 95 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: again one more time.
