Speaker 2: On the way down.

43
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: When I was ten, you could see Top Gun or

44
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: Crocodile Dundee in eighty six, or maybe the movie that

45
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: came out the year before.

46
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: It was still showing.

47
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: It was Rob Low and a whole lot of them

49
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: and Demi Moore in Sonelmo's Fire. Probably a great movie,

50
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: probably not Joel Schumacher's best, but for the time it

51
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: was just perfect, wasn't it. Yeah, me too, me too. Oh,

52
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: let's talk about it being the year before the Eagles started,

53
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: not only Elliott was, but nor were the Eagles yet.

54
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: So the waffle was huge and SUBI won the flag.

55
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: Led by the Lamb brothers Dwayne and Phil. We were

56
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: called him Fatty your course to an and the giant

57
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: ruckman Laurie Keane. He has been part I lived around

58
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: the corner from me and Karena. East from Mantle, we

59
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: saw the emergence of a future star, a lovable kid

60
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 1: from Geralden called Chris Maine, wearing nine eighty six and

61
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: native hourse. In April of nineteen eighty six, Lace, arguably

62
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: the biggest band on the planet at the time, landed

63
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: at Perth Dire Straits led by Katae Virtuo. So Mark

64
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: Knopfler treated us to eight straight nights at the Entertainment.

65
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: Center, which is unheard of. Incredible, eight nights without.

66
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 4: A night off.

67
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 2: Myld have been all of them.

68
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, really is a massive I loved them. The Brothers

69
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: in Arms two was massive, so was the album. With

70
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: his trademark headband in place and no offer in the

71
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: band served up a feast of dia strates, classic Expresso

72
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: Love and Austrial Disease, Tunnel of Love and Private Investigations.

73
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: But the meat, the main meat on the bones of

74
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: the set list was for their multimillion selling Brothers in

75
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: Arms album So Far Away, Why Worry Your Latest Trek,

76
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: and of course the big hit single Money for Nothing

77
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: and Your Chicks for Free Now the title track the

78
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: Eerie One Brothers in Arms closed out the main set

79
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: before a rocking on core version of solid rock had

80
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: those Perth Diastrodes fans on their feet, including Elliott's Mum

81
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: and Mark's beautiful instrumental going Home, the theme from the

82
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: movie Local Hero wrapped up.

83
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: It was so good.

84
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 1: It was perfect for as we walked out on to

85
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: Wellington Straight, which was unreal. And that was us delving

86
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: into the tragic music box for the year, of course,

87
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: of nineteen eighty six.
