I saw Nirvana at Festival Hall in Brisbane in January 1992\. Great great show. Pure power. Very similar to seeing AC/DC at the Showground in 1980.

See Screaming Jets and Baby Animals in 1992 at the Hordern Pavillion for $5\. Like Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Metallica, U2 seen ay olympic park last year, Eagles - Enterntainment Centre, Stones at the SCG, Crowded House at the Royal Opera House, Mondo Rock on the Rooty Hill and Sound Relief was pretty good as well, featuring Icehouse, AC/DC where pretty good as well in the mid nineties at the Entertainment Centre. Aslo seen Gun N Roses along with Skid Row and Rose Tattoo in the early ninties.

Was never my type of music, but Micheal Buble was off the hook live…....big fan now.

I've always liked his stuff.

 

[Tigersmurf]

Hey YKW, I was at that concert too - the one with the Jets and Baby Animals. It was awesome and had been my best concert for many many years.

However this has been surpassed by Stone Temple Pilots whom I saw a few weeks ago. They were awesome and sound fantastic live! I felt young(ish) again.

 

[you_know_who]

There was another band on with them as well, but they never really kicked on though, cant remember there name though.

 

[spudoakes]

"high 5 " they were awsome charlie was my favourite

 

[Juro]

One of the best shows I have seen was Ian Moss last year at the Asquith Leagues. Just him on stage with his guitar. Brilliant stuff.

Worst concert I have seen was Elton John a few years back at the Entertainment Centre. Had ordinary seats so couldn't see anything except the big screens. The concert had no atmosphere. So it was a lot of money down the drain to watch him on tv…

 

[you_know_who]

Yeah seen Ian Moss before unplugged at the Rooty Hill RSL a few years back, telephone booth inst a bad song

 

[Tigersmurf]

The Degenerates. Never heard of them again and not sure if my spelling was correct!

Being a little older than you ( I think) I have seen everyone from Led Zeppelin down.
Funnily enough the best live band I ever saw were basically a support band for Three Dog Night .
At that time (early 70's)Three Dog Night were arguably the most popular (pop) group in the world
with over 20 consecutive top 40 hits.
The support was a group called The Guess Who - with one hit 'American Woman' ( later redone by Lenny Kravitz).
They were so good the whole place booed for 10 minutes when Three Dog Night took the stage - no-one wanted them to finish.

Had a similar experience many years ago CK, I went to see 'slade' in sydney and the support band was Status quo whom noone had heard of, needless to say noone wanted the Quo to leave the stage, must admit Slade were great though.

Im probably a bit older than most of you posters and ive seen a fair few bands in my day, Including international acts as well as local, I would like to go on record as saying some of our local bands well & truly match it with a lot of international acts, Though the one that surpasses them all is our very own BILLY THORPE ! This man" live" was like nobody else, He blew Deep Purple and Alice Cooper off stage, Living in both NSW & QLD, I took every chance I got to see the man, When they had that concert, Its a long to the top with all the older sixties & seventies aussie stars,Thorpie made them all look like amateurs, Truly the best ever, Im talkin Thorpie 70 onwards till his untimely departure in 2007, RIP BILLY THORPE. Oh Yeah if you didn:t notice , BIG time fan.

An outstanding aussie talent along with J OK!!
