Just explain what you're doing from week 8 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 3: to week in this show. 9 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 2: I'm just trying to like do everything from like and 10 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 2: not leave my house basically or not studio. Oh yeah, 11 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 2: That's one thing I loved about doing this series is 12 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 2: I did practically all of it, like from my studio, 13 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 2: spent like getting up and going upstairs and opening in 14 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 2: my house to a film crew a little bit early 15 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 2: in the morning. Now, yeah, yep. It was great. Yeah, 16 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 2: it was really good to you know, have people in 17 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 2: such a relaxed situation. And I guess, you know, it 18 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 2: wasn't like a guarantee that they were going to come 19 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 2: into my studio and just feel relaxed, but it definitely 20 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 2: felt like that with everybody that came over and and 21 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 2: of course, you know, with quite a few of them, 22 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 2: I know them, so, you know, from just being the 23 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 2: industry as long as I have so, but not as 24 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 2: well as you tink, you know, and it actually gave 25 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 2: me the opportunity to get to know them, you know, 26 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 2: on another level. 27 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 3: So the premise is you sit down with a bunch 28 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 3: of iconic bands or in Jimmy Barnes case, singer and 29 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 3: you go through one of their shows. 30 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, basically, as we know, there's been an insane 31 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 2: amount of music has you know, come out of this 32 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 2: country or otherwise, and of course you know a lot 33 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: of it has been documented in a film medium, especially 34 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 2: when you know, when the record companies, I guess started 35 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 2: realizing that people were buying less records, everyone sort of went, 36 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: let's make DVDs. You know, concert tvds became the thing. 37 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 2: There's a pleasure of incredibly well recorded concerts that are 38 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,919 Speaker 2: just I wouldn't really just see think they're doing nothing. 39 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 2: But you know, we felt it was time to kind 40 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 2: of bring them out into the light again and reappropriate 41 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: and with with some really relevant interviews that kind of 42 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: show a different light on it. And you know, they 43 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 2: say hindsight is kind of everything and true to some degree, 44 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 2: and I think a lot of people can say things 45 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 2: now that they probably weren't able to say you know, 46 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 2: when they were like actually in it and it was 47 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 2: all happening. So it just puts a different perspective on 48 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 2: the whole, not just a concept, but the actual time. 49 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: What was happening at the fibes, What was happening in 50 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: everyone's life? 51 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, make nineteen eighty three at Narram. There were 52 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: a lot of big acts on that buildings. 53 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 2: I was still in school. 54 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought you were, yeah, yeah, but I. 55 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 2: Remember, I remember the I remember the the echoes of 56 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 2: kind of like how big it was and everything was 57 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 2: sort of they came across the null board. It was 58 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 2: like this Nara thing, you know, it was it was 59 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 2: almost like a woodstock sort of thing. It was like, yeah, 60 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 2: to be there. I think people actually we even weren't there, 61 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 2: probably said they were there. You know. 62 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: I was one of those one of those, one of 63 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: those legendary ones. So you catch up with the Bruster 64 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: Boys jet. 65 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: But yeah, it was just yeah, it was. It was 66 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: incredible to see that concept because you know, in expense 67 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 2: is actually headline. But the Angels went on earlier and 68 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 2: they you know, it's a real cliche to say they 69 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 2: were just at the top of their whatever powers or whatever, 70 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 2: but there are lots of gigs around that and after 71 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 2: that and whatever that was just as good. But that 72 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 2: that night, like all the planets lined up. And you 73 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,519 Speaker 2: know when you see the audience from the very first 74 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: minute they second they hit the stage, I should say 75 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: that all like how many thousand people all like fist 76 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: pumping in the air, It's just like what, Yeah, you know, 77 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: the energy is on another like incredibly high level. I 78 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: you know, have an only witnessed a few. 79 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: Times, Yeah, doctiningly some of that white chail around his 80 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: neck at his best unbeataful. 81 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,119 Speaker 2: I guess you forget like the energy that guy put 82 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: into shows. I mean, there's a few people that still 83 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 2: do that and will continue to do that, but he 84 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,839 Speaker 2: was in a class of his zone when it came 85 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 2: to like hyping up an audience and being able to 86 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: still sing every note. There's one thing like being Cardio 87 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 2: kind of crazy like that, but a lot of people 88 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 2: that do that don't actually sing, you know, like ye 89 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 2: no have got track running and stuff. But Doc was 90 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 2: just a he was an absolute phenomena. 91 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 3: One of the stories I'm really looking forward to is 92 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 3: the Roast Tattoo one because it's their performance at Bogo 93 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 3: road jail in nineteen ninety three. 94 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Gangrys, you know, the sweet, biggest sweetheart 95 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 2: you can ever imagine. It's actually the most eloquent man. 96 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: Despite being you know, again a cliche. It's like a 97 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 2: man covered in illustrated man. It kind of seemed kind 98 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 2: of a bit imposing and a bit scary, But he's 99 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 2: the most He's just the most articulate, eloquent person to 100 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 2: have to sit in a chair. And it was really 101 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 2: great kind of hear him just wax about, you know, 102 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 2: the songs and their origins and stuff, and you know, 103 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 2: they're the most you know, it's just the salt of 104 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 2: the earth when it comes to you know, how they 105 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 2: approach things and everything. And I just think, yeah, I mean, 106 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: there's the reason why so many bands in the world 107 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 2: have cited them as an influence, because they were definitely 108 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 2: a big influence on me. That the swagger, their grooves, 109 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 2: their songs, you know. And I'm also one of the 110 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 2: few people I guess that said, hey, you know, I 111 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 2: can hear like a real early Rod Stewart like faces, 112 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 2: you know, yea influence in your voice, Like really he's 113 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 2: said that, I'm like, well, I can hear it, you know, 114 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 2: and he loves that that you know him and Sam 115 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 2: Cook and you know he's actually a big just like 116 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 2: Jimmy's just loves all the soul things like by the. 117 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 3: Way, illustrated Man would be a great title for a 118 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 3: song about angry and why. 119 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: Love that well written? 120 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 2: Well rest in peace.

He's had a big week because 126 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: he's had his birthday, but he mentioned he comes up 127 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: twice and Jimmy with. 128 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 2: Jimmy was you know, we've had two horses going with 129 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 2: the chiseling, And yeah, I mean it's interesting.
