Speaker 1: They put padding up on the walls to stop the

23
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: sound bouncing off the venue's concrete wall. It was terrible.

53
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: house price grew by sixty percent, which sounds familiar, doesn't it.

54
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: Mind you, it was about eighty grand to get into

55
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: a three bed, one bathroom house in the burbs in Perth.

56
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: Petrol was about fifty five cents a leater, which is

57
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: you know, even this week. It's been cheap. I saw

58
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: a dollar forty nine yesterday, but it's a huge difference.

59
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: I lofe for bread put you back about a dollar thirty.

60
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: In May of nineteen eighty eight, Channel ten launched in Perth.

61
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: Finally we got Channel ten. The celebrations included a massive

62
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: party at Berswick Casino and the guests included Young Neighbour

63
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: stars Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue, And of course there

64
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: was the launch piece, how good it's you see? Yes,

65
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: Neighbors used to be on seven. L that's right, Yes,

66
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: that's oh, that's probably that's what we do us. Let's

67
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: hear the whole thing. I reckon, that's probably enough. There's

68
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: probably about two minutes after Yeah, you're right. Ac later

69
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: you know, we don't need that again. That was the

70
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: launch song. But you're right because Neighbors was on seven

71
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: and what seven did? Knowing that ten were coming to Perth.

72
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: They fiddled with the timing of the scheduling of the

73
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: show to mess with people's heads a little bit, and

74
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: then eventually just took it off and didn't play it

75
00:03:54,040 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: at all. It was Yes and nineteen eighty eight feature

76
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: album We Moved Today to the fourteen million selling Rattle

77
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: and Hum from U two. But you've got to say

78
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: they were the biggest band in the world at the time.

79
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: They had the international success of that previous album, The

80
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: Joshua Tree. But the boys from Dublin wanted to do

81
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: something a little different, so they combined a double album

82
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: What a Mix, a double album of studio and live songs,

83
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: and a documentary with it that was from their eighty

84
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: seven US tour. The doco was also called Rattle and Hut.

85
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: I didn't give it away for free exactly when you

86
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: get a bit desperate later. The album was intended to

87
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: be you two's tribute to legendary musos, included contributions from

88
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: the likes of Bob Dylan and of course Blues Great

89
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: BB King and When Love Comes to Town. The first single, Desire,

90
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: was the band's first UK number one after all those

91
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: hits before that, I hadn't gone to the top of

92
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: the charts there really yeah, and it won the Grammy

93
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group. Not

94
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: even like with a Sunday Bloody song. Yeah I know,

95
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: Yeah Yeah will follow they weren't in the UK. Other

96
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: singles included the tribute to singing, Great Billy Holiday, Angel

97
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: of Harlem, Yep, Beauty and the Haunting. All all I

98
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: want is you both helping Rattle and Hum go to

99
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: number one. It was number one in Australia, the US,

100
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: the UK. In fact, if I was to say everyone to

101
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: the number one would be here for about ano one

102
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: hundred years. It was a very successful album. However, in Spain,

103
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: Rattle and Humm went to number seventy two. Okay, what

104
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: the hell is going on? Seventy two? So you're throwing covers,

105
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: Manuel throwing covers at the Beatles Helter Skelter, and Dylan's

106
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: all Along the Watchtower, and you had a bit of

107
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: everything packed into seventy two and a half minutes of music.

108
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: Amazing Out of the Tragic Music Box from nineteen eighty eight,
