Speaker 1: What was it for you, Joe?

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 3: So before I went to the Big Day, which was

Speaker 3: Altham roller Rink to a punk show to see scar

10
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 3: band Area seven and I remember rocking up and my

11
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 3: mum dropping me off and everybody else was dressed as punks,

12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 3: like mohawks, tattered shirts, leather jackets, and I was in

13
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 3: a mambo shirt and parachute pants.

14
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,320

00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 4: Oh?

16
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,159

Speaker 5: working for three and D in the country, we went

18
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 5: to Rock a Longer, which was a thing at Yarrawonga

19
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,320

00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 5: shows came in the country to the country in the

21
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 5: late eighties and it was Jimmy Barnes and Boom Crash Opera. Yeah,

22
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 5: it was awesome.

23
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: The first proper copst I ever went to was actually

24
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:02,120

00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: I was sixteen and like we were saying earlier, just

26
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: Michael Hutchins as well. They're a brilliant live band, it says,

27
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: were amazing. But he was a proper It was like

00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 2: your first front man I ever saw, and he had

29
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: leather trousers on. He was swinging from a vocabol I

30
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,760

31
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: Just so a wide eyed sixteen year old and my

32
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,640

33
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: so didn't actually live in London, and it was such

34
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: an exciting time just to see an actual big rock

35
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,920

Speaker 2: what was the first live show you ever saw.

48
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 6: The first live show I ever saw was when I

49
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 6: was seven. It was twenty thirteen and Mum took me

50
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 6: to see Kiss, Motley Crue and Finn Lizzie at Eddie

51
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 6: Had Stadium.

52
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: Wow, that's an amazing three great bands to see that

53
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: and you were very young.

54
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you remember much from it? Yeah?

55
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 4: I do.

56
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 6: I remember it being very very loud and trying to

57
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 6: stick the ear pugs in my ears and they weren't

58
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 6: for holding, and I was getting very frustrated. And we

59
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 6: had seats and floor tickets, and I remember dragging Mom

60
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 6: up and down the seats when I wanted to sit down,

61
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 6: then going oh yeah, no, let's go on the floor.

62
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 6: And then we'd go on the floor and then I'd

63
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 6: go back up to the seats and she was very

64
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 6: annoyed with me.

65
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: And you still go and see shows a mom now, Yeah,

66
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: we still go.

67
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 6: We just saw Kiss three times when they came in August.

68
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 6: We got floor tickets and then we were able to

69
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 6: meet them and get a photo with.

70
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:56,840

Speaker 2: I hope you had a great weekend, Adam. What was

130
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: the first live show you ever saw?

131
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 7: Well, I feel very fortunate to say this. I got

132
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 7: to see Navana Alive at the Palace back in ninety one, so.

133
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 2: Wow, that's incredible. Nineteen ninety one. I saw them in

134
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: ninety two.

135
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: How old were you?

136
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 7: I was fifteen. My aunt was friends with somebody that

137
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 7: had something to do with the Palace back in the day,

138
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 7: so we were very fortunate in the sense that we

139
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 7: got a free pass to go and see them, and

140
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 7: it was just, Yeah, it blew me away. It was

141
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 7: the greatest thing I've ever seen in my tile. I've

142
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,799
Speaker 7: actually walked out of that gig thinking to myself, actually

143
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 7: want to be a musician. So yeah, it was amazing.

144
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, what an experience to see a band like that.

145
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: Nine So ninety one was probably just on the cusp

146
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: before they really sort of became global stars.

147
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, they sort of. I think it was sort of

148
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 7: around the never mind, So I had the cassette, but

149
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 7: they played a whole bunch of other material that I

150
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 7: hadn't actually heard yet. But when the curtain open, just

151
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 7: all pitch black and you could just make out their

152
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 7: sealover wet. Kirk Bain was taking the last few dragons

153
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 7: on a cigarette and then they're just launched in banneurhythm.

154
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 7: And then when the drums kicked in from Dave Groll,

155
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 7: all these psychedelic lights behind them just went it just

156
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 7: went nuts in and we were on the balcony, so

157
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 7: there's just a whole seat of people just moushing and

158
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 7: going insane. I was just blown away.

159
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: It's actually given me goosebumps just imagining the scene. You

160
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 2: just painted that so vividly. Amazing how much you still

161
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: remember of it.

162
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 7: It was one of those turning points in my wife Christian.

163
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 7: And Kirk Cabain is such a humble person, you know,

164
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 7: you just had this presence about him. You didn't have

165
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 7: to do anything. He wasn't overcontrived. So when he just

166
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 7: strummed his guitar and sang, I just, I don't know,

167
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 7: just blew my mind. And he was such an amazing lyricist,

168
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 7: Like his lyrics just really blew me away back in

169
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 7: the day.

170
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,880

171
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,200
