4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: how's a view from your place? It's a bit smoky here,

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 1: a bit smoky and smelly. We'll make sure it's gone

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: by the time you get here.

7
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: Oh that'd be good. Yeah. Now, it's a beautiful day here.

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to make you jealous and tell you that,

9
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 2: but it has been pretty foul here, so we welcome

10
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: all of good weather we can get.

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: Well, we're sending some your way, just minus the smoke,

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: and we promise it'll be perfect when you get here.

13
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: In March next year, you are the headline act for

14
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: the Red Hot Summer Tour. It's happening at Sanderford Wines.

15
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: Pre sale tickets going sale at nine this morning, General

00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: public tickets tomorrow through Ticketmaster. You're headlining, being supported by Noiseworks,

17
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: wolf Mother Killing Heidi and Eskimojo along with Baby Animals.

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: That's quite a lineup either, that's.

19
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: An incredible lineup. And yeah, so looking forward to kind

20
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: of catching up with some of those those musicians because

21
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: we've had a long history with some of them, and

22
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 2: it is an incredible lineup. I actually, when I first

23
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: saw this lineup, I just thought, how the hell did

24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: they put that together? That is amazing.

25
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: Well, see that this is the thing, I guess with

26
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: a lot of these festivals going on these tours, it's

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: a great opportunity because once upon a time you would

28
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: have all maybe you would have toured with one other act,

29
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: but the chance to all get together on a semi

30
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,279
Speaker 1: regular basis must be quite a get together.

31
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, the format of you know, there's been a

32
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: lot of discussion in the news over here and about

33
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: the you know, the loss of a number of very

34
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: big festivals and so on, and somebody had the discussion

35
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: with me and said, look, it's it's the multiple day

36
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: ones that are really filling the pinch. The one day,

37
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: you know, the kind of you go out for one day,

38
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: you see an incredible lineup and you know then you

39
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: can get yourself home. That's going to be you know,

40
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: that's that's going to be hopefully a popular thing for

41
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: for many years to come, because it's you know, you

42
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: get a lineup like this and it's just a great

43
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: day for everybody. Really, Yeah, it is.

44
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: It's the it's the lineup, the sort of setup that

45
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: can last, because, as you said, over over a number

46
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: of days, that's, uh, that's a bit taxing for anyone.

47
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: Certainly I'm not speaking for people younger than me, but.

48
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: Maybe once upon a time, but maybe maybe not so much,

49
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: not so much now now. So actually you were here now,

50
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: you were here back in February, won't you. You were

51
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: supporting simple Minds at first time since the early eighties

52
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: when you were both new kids on the block, so

53
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: to speak.

54
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: I've got to catch up with Charlie and Jim from

55
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 2: the band. And you know, I've got a bunch of

56
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 2: photos up on the wall in the kitchen of various

57
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: things that have happened in my life. A picture of

58
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: me and David Bowie and a picture of me with

59
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: Lady Dye. And there's a picture of me and Jim

60
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: Kerr in our early twenties wandering around notting Hill just

61
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: chatting and Jim's equipped with his Sony walkman and his

62
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: headphones around his neck.

63
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, so great memories back in the days when both

64
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: of you could have done multi day festivals. But anyway,

65
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: that time has passed. Now, this is going to be

66
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: a great tour. You've also supported Susi Quatro before on

67
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: the Red Hot Summer tour. How does it feel to

68
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: be the headline act this time? Does that come with

69
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: any extra perks do you get? You get a better

70
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: rider backstage than the rest of them?

71
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: No, I don't look at anybody else's wressing room.

72
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: Is there anything? Is there anything over the years that

73
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: you've got? I must have it before I go on stage.

74
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: Are you like that? Look? Recently we did a really

75
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: big show in Adelaide, and I think we were opening

76
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: this particular set of days and Robbie Williams was closing it.

77
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: And Robbie Williams had a very specific dressing room setup

78
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: which I got to use on the night that we headlined,

79
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: and it was a particularly good show. And I came

80
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: back to my tour manager, who I've been working with

81
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: for literally decades, and I said, Larry, if you got

82
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: me a dressing room like that, because it had its

83
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: own enclosure, and it had a shower, and it had

84
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of stuff, you know, a full sized

85
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: fridge and a couch and potted plants and all that stuff.

86
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 2: I said, Larry, if you get me a dressing room

87
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 2: like that every time, every show will be brilliant.

88
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: Veger, So you wrote off the back of his rider

89
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. You guys all get to spend obviously, you

90
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: know it goes for the one day. But you guys

91
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: will all be together in the Swan Valley. Who's organizing

92
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 1: the wine tour?

93
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: Ah, Well, we've been to this particular place before so

94
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: and I've enjoyed their wines and I will be doing

95
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: the same. I think I'll.

96
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: Be wandering around Sanderford before the show. Well, actually not

97
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: before it, no responsibly, of course. Just a little while

98
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: ago we played Electric Blue. Now, the story behind that

99
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: song is that it very well could have been a hit.

100
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: First of all, actually I've got a check. Is that

101
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: on the set list? Absolutely do it, of course, But

102
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: that could have been a hit for someone else, couldn't

103
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: it's the what's the story behind that one?

104
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: Well, the story was I wrote it with John Oates

105
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: of Hall and Oates fame, and he was he tracked

106
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: me down. I was in the middle of a tour

107
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: in the United States, and I'd met him a number

108
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: of years earlier, and he was absolutely convinced that we

109
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 2: should be writing songs together, and in fact, he came

110
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: out to Australia and he spent a week here and

111
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: we wrote that song, electric Blue, and I remember him

112
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: standing in the doorway just waiting for the taxi to

113
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: take him back to the airport to go back home,

114
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: and at that point it wasn't even quite finished, but

115
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: he was absolutely convinced. He looked me in the eye

116
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: and he said, you make sure you record this song

117
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: and release it as a single, because it's going to

118
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: be a hit, and if you don't, Haul and Oates

119
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 2: will and it'll be a hit for us. So he

120
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: kind of pointed his finger at me, and anyway, he

121
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: knew something I didn't know at that point in time,

122
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: but he was absolutely right.

123
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: And that was a hit not only here but obviously

124
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: internationally as well, as was that whole album Amount of Colors,

125
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: which was massive, wasn't it.

126
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: It was massive? And Electric Blue was a top ten

127
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: United States hit for US, which back in those days

128
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: was a very very hard thing for an Australian band

129
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: to achieve, and only really a handful of Australian acts

130
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: actually ever did that. So that's a particularly kind of

131
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 2: proud moment when I got that news from our manager

132
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: that had gone into the American top ten. So thank you,

133
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: John Oates.

134
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Well, maybe you could get back together with John

135
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: Oates and do some working given that he's not talking

136
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: to Darryl anymore.

137
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 2: I shouldn't laugh, really should.

138
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: I think they're both going to be okay on their own.

139
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, it is a bit of a shame for

140
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: the world's most successful pop duo to all time, to.

141
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: All times and a week toured with them a number

142
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: of years ago, both here and in New Zealand, and

143
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: you know, I managed to spend quite a lot of

144
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:31,679
Speaker 2: time with him and his wife and you know, good

145
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: side stays with every one of those shows because there

146
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: was just one hit after another, which incredibly it was

147
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: actually amazing just the number of number of number one

148
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: songs that they put string together. So yes, they do

149
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 2: have them. I did them have them as a playlist

150
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: I play regularly.

151
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: They are a very very successful act and it'll be

152
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: hard for anyone to top them, mind you. I let's

153
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: face it, with Flowers and ice House, you have quite

154
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: the set list yourself, quite the back catalog which gladly

155
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: we are going to see you play and here you

156
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: play at Sanderford on the Red Hot Summer Tour twenty

157
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,120
