1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda gam Nation.

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 2: Yes, film, not only because Peter Garrett is as iconic

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 2: as the Opera House, but it's a great excuse to

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: bring up one of Brendan Jones's early radio moments. That's

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: slightly bum clenching, and I do enjoy listening to it

6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 2: again and again and again.

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

8
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: Okay, Peter, this is the second final question in this

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: list of interrogation. You might call it the just just

10
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: pretend people up here have never heard of midnight? Or

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: what would you tell a person that's never.

12
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 3: Heard of midnight? Or what can I expect? I love

13
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 3: that answer.

14
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 4: Well, look in the midst of all that, we have

15
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 4: better Garrett on the line.

16
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 5: Hallo, Peter, Hi, Amanda, Hi Jonesy, I've got a bit

17
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 5: fan girling and that's.

18
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: Fair enough to so, Peter, you're going to be performing

19
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: at the at the at Taronga Zoo. I love these

20
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: series of concerts because is there anything more atmospheric than

21
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: being surrounded by all those animals. It must feel amazing.

22
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: It's incredible.

23
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 6: You can see the giraffes, you know, it's actually you're

24
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 6: absolutely right, man, it's a fantastic gig. And you know,

25
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 6: I thought about it when we're setting up this little

26
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 6: run and I was really happy that we get a

27
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 6: chance to get in there and play. I mean in

28
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 6: terms of the backdrop, staggering, great feel. Yeah, you've got

29
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 6: all the zoo animals around you, so you can take

30
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 6: it a bit of a drift down memory lane when

31
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 6: you're a kid or whatever. And I still love all

32
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 6: that stuff. But it's a really special it's quite a

33
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 6: nice natural amphitheater as well. It's actually one of the

34
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 6: most special and brilliant places to play in the city.

35
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 3: I think.

36
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 4: Do the animals respond to the music?

37
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: Ah, well, we have to.

38
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 6: There is a sound d B thing around sound check

39
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 6: and we have to be finished by certain times so

40
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 6: they can get their shut eye.

41
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: So that is yes.

42
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 5: But you know, I guess you got to say yes

43
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 5: because that's a great place. Because my daughter's decided she

44
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 5: wants to get married to wrong Zoo and I was thinking,

45
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 5: well that that joined a cheap that's for sure.

46
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 4: Oh you have charming of you, Brendan, whatever.

47
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 5: You want, you know, it's not cheap.

48
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 6: Well, you know, I mean of all the places that

49
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 6: you play when you play outside especially, I mean I

50
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 6: love playing outside, you know, I mean I love the

51
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 6: environment and all of that, and it's really special for me.

52
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 6: And I think sound does something pretty good outside it

53
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 6: doesn't necessarily come bouncing back at you. And then playing

54
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 6: your own hometown in a place which is very very special,

55
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 6: and that's another added plus. I think some of the

56
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 6: proceeds for this goes towards the Native Species Veterinary Training

57
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 6: Hospital thing that they're starting to sit up there. That's

58
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 6: a very cool thing. And yeah, you just end up

59
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 6: having a really good night there, and people seem very

60
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 6: chilled when they come along, and of course they're gazing

61
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 6: at whatever's happening in the rest of the city, but

62
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 6: they're in the sanctuary, as it were, of the Animal

63
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 6: Kingdom and listening to Aussie music because.

64
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 4: You're performing with the alter egos, tell us about them.

65
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 6: Look at the sideband when the oars weren't or playing.

66
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 6: And I still really felt after the last run and

67
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 6: when we came off the Great Circle and it ended

68
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 6: up being much bigger than expected, and we ended up

69
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 6: playing in all sorts of parts of the world, which

70
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 6: was it was terrific. But when I got back and

71
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 6: we finished the big run, I just it was weird.

72
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 6: I just really felt like I had a lot of juice,

73
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 6: a lot of energy, a lot of tingly going on,

74
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 6: and I thought, I bet he used it up in

75
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 6: case it runs out. So I dived in and did

76
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 6: another record. Martin Rossi from Midnight came to play with me.

77
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 6: And having Martin there, you know, it just makes makes

78
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 6: it very special because we don't have to talk to

79
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 6: one another.

80
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 3: We just look at one another and we know what

81
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: we want to do. A couple of my daughters are singing.

82
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 6: They've got their own little band as well, Rain Talk,

83
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 6: but they're up on stage with Dad, and Dad is pretty.

84
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: Happy about that. I have to say that, right, sweet,

85
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 3: it's great.

86
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 6: It's seriously great, and you know it's I mean, I

87
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 6: never expected it. You and I we've been yarning to

88
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 6: one another on and off a year, so you've seen

89
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 6: all the many stages and I really am genuinely surprised

90
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 6: that I still feel an absolute.

91
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: Passion and drive to perform.

92
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 6: And I don't know how long it's going to last,

93
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 6: but while it's there, I know I have to use it.

94
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you still get the tingling. You've got to

95
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 4: get the tingling exactly.

96
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 5: The tingling's always there. That's not waking up at two

97
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 5: o'clock in the morning needing to go.

98
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: For a week.

99
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 3: Well, there's probably that tingling as well.

100
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 5: There's always that tingling. How are you feeling about the

101
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 5: election coming here? Are you still are you dipping your

102
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 5: hand into the politics or are you're totally away from it?

103
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 6: Ah?

104
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 3: No, Look, I mean people would know my views pretty clearly.

105
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 6: I mean I think more than anything else, I want

106
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 6: us to respect one another and respect the planet. It

107
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 6: sounds like an absolute statement of the bleeding obvious, But

108
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 6: let's just do that and whoever's going to do that

109
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 6: the best and give us the opportunity to be the

110
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 6: kind of people that work well together and appreciate what

111
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 6: Australia has really got to offer. They're going to have

112
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 6: my vote. It's very dangerous out there with Trump. He's

113
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 6: genuine nasty and even though our politicians, for obvious.

114
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 3: Reasons, can't call it out.

115
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 6: We're in a world of pain globally and they are

116
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 6: in a world of terrifying yak in the States, So

117
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 6: managing that's going to be difficult. And I think at

118
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 6: the end of the day, you know, we're seeing a

119
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 6: swing away from the idea that either a government could

120
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 6: do something which is good for us, or people can

121
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 6: do good stuff for one another, and I don't accept that.

122
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 6: You know, I think a reason a lot of people

123
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 6: love living in Australia, want to be here, are proud

124
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 6: of being Australian, it's because we've made a reasonable fist

125
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,559
Speaker 6: of But sure, this stuff we can do better.

126
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 5: It's just just everything seems so complicated these days.

127
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 4: It's exhausting.

128
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 5: We can always go and see Pete playing at tarn

129
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,560

130
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 5: for me from a daughter's wedding or something.

131
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 4: Try and get Jonesy a freebie.

132
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,560
