0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:08.039
<v Speaker 2>What was the first big live music show you ever saw?

0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:10.639
<v Speaker 2>Already had a great one then that Patsy took a

0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:14.560
<v Speaker 2>toll at Patsy's daughter Audi on Friday seeing Dua Lipa

0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:16.480
<v Speaker 2>as their first one, which is pretty amazing.

0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:17.520
<v Speaker 1>What was it for you, Joe?

0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 3>So before I went to the Big Day, which was

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:21.400
<v Speaker 3>the first huge bands I saw, I went to the

0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 3>Altham roller Rink to a punk show to see scar

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 3>band Area seven and I remember rocking up and my

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 3>mum dropping me off and everybody else was dressed as punks,

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:35.279
<v Speaker 3>like mohawks, tattered shirts, leather jackets, and I was in

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:37.560
<v Speaker 3>a mambo shirt and parachute pants.

0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Patsy, what was it for you?

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.159
<v Speaker 5>Do you know what it was? Probably when I was

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:45.800
<v Speaker 5>working for three and D in the country, we went

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 5>to Rock a Longer, which was a thing at Yarrawonga

0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 5>every year, which you know in the country. Not many

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:52.159
<v Speaker 5>shows came in the country to the country in the

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 5>late eighties and it was Jimmy Barnes and Boom Crash Opera. Yeah,

0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 5>it was awesome.

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>The first proper copst I ever went to was actually

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 1>in excess.

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 2>I was sixteen and like we were saying earlier, just

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 2>Michael Hutchins as well. They're a brilliant live band, it says,

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 2>were amazing. But he was a proper It was like

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 2>your first front man I ever saw, and he had

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 2>leather trousers on. He was swinging from a vocabol I

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:17.760
<v Speaker 2>still remains one of the coolest things I ever saw.

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Just so a wide eyed sixteen year old and my

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.640
<v Speaker 2>friend and I traveled up to the Big Smoke to London,

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 2>so didn't actually live in London, and it was such

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 2>an exciting time just to see an actual big rock

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 2>and roll band and they were incredible.

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:32.720

<v Speaker 2>Last week I saw Billy Joel as a fifteen year

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.919
<v Speaker 2>old at the now demolished Burrs Were Dome in Perth,

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.000

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to Alie Anna. Good morning, Hello, hello, hello there. Okay, so,

0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 2>what was the first live show you ever saw.

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 6>The first live show I ever saw was when I

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 6>was seven. It was twenty thirteen and Mum took me

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:10.239
<v Speaker 6>to see Kiss, Motley Crue and Finn Lizzie at Eddie

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 6>Had Stadium.

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's an amazing three great bands to see that

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 2>and you were very young.

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, do you remember much from it? Yeah?

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:20.640
<v Speaker 4>I do.

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 6>I remember it being very very loud and trying to

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 6>stick the ear pugs in my ears and they weren't

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 6>for holding, and I was getting very frustrated. And we

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 6>had seats and floor tickets, and I remember dragging Mom

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 6>up and down the seats when I wanted to sit down,

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 6>then going oh yeah, no, let's go on the floor.

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:38.959
<v Speaker 6>And then we'd go on the floor and then I'd

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 6>go back up to the seats and she was very

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:41.360
<v Speaker 6>annoyed with me.

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 1>And you still go and see shows a mom now, Yeah,

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:46.360
<v Speaker 1>we still go.

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 6>We just saw Kiss three times when they came in August.

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 6>We got floor tickets and then we were able to

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 6>meet them and get a photo with.

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 4>Them as well.

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.320

<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's just a moment and I so we're pretty

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:03.359
<v Speaker 6>pretty close.

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:05.840

<v Speaker 1>So what was the first live show you ever saw?

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.720

<v Speaker 4>I changed in the toil. I don't know where the

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 4>shirt's gone. I heard about how much it was on special,

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 4>how it was a nice shirt, and twenty something years

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:49.760

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're good.

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:11.600
<v Speaker 2>I hope you had a great weekend, Adam. What was

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 2>the first live show you ever saw?

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.480
<v Speaker 7>Well, I feel very fortunate to say this. I got

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 7>to see Navana Alive at the Palace back in ninety one, so.

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.599
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's incredible. Nineteen ninety one. I saw them in

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 2>ninety two.

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 1>How old were you?

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 7>I was fifteen. My aunt was friends with somebody that

0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 7>had something to do with the Palace back in the day,

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 7>so we were very fortunate in the sense that we

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.159
<v Speaker 7>got a free pass to go and see them, and

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.880
<v Speaker 7>it was just, Yeah, it blew me away. It was

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 7>the greatest thing I've ever seen in my tile. I've

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.799
<v Speaker 7>actually walked out of that gig thinking to myself, actually

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:42.839
<v Speaker 7>want to be a musician. So yeah, it was amazing.

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what an experience to see a band like that.

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Nine So ninety one was probably just on the cusp

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 2>before they really sort of became global stars.

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.040
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, they sort of. I think it was sort of

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 7>around the never mind, So I had the cassette, but

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:57.400
<v Speaker 7>they played a whole bunch of other material that I

0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 7>hadn't actually heard yet. But when the curtain open, just

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 7>all pitch black and you could just make out their

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.839
<v Speaker 7>sealover wet. Kirk Bain was taking the last few dragons

0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 7>on a cigarette and then they're just launched in banneurhythm.

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 7>And then when the drums kicked in from Dave Groll,

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.200
<v Speaker 7>all these psychedelic lights behind them just went it just

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 7>went nuts in and we were on the balcony, so

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.840
<v Speaker 7>there's just a whole seat of people just moushing and

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.719
<v Speaker 7>going insane. I was just blown away.

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 2>It's actually given me goosebumps just imagining the scene. You

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:26.360
<v Speaker 2>just painted that so vividly. Amazing how much you still

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 2>remember of it.

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 7>It was one of those turning points in my wife Christian.

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 7>And Kirk Cabain is such a humble person, you know,

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 7>you just had this presence about him. You didn't have

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 7>to do anything. He wasn't overcontrived. So when he just

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 7>strummed his guitar and sang, I just, I don't know,

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.360
<v Speaker 7>just blew my mind. And he was such an amazing lyricist,

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.640
<v Speaker 7>Like his lyrics just really blew me away back in

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 7>the day.

0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, it's amazing, and he's still doing live music now.

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:52.200
<v Speaker 2>You say that it sort of made you want to

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:55.920
<v Speaker 2>be getting a band. Do you still do that now occasionally?

0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, My old band's actually been around for twenty five years,

0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.160
<v Speaker 7>so they're actually doing a reunion show later this year.

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:03.360
<v Speaker 7>But I'm going to get up and do a couple

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 7>of songs called franken.

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Bach frankn Bach. Right, that's awesome. Where's where's the reunion

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 1>show going to be? Give it a plug?
