However I did see Alice sing live once, back in the 1970s...he sang the national anthem at a baseball game I went to as publicity for a concert he was going to do at the stadium there in Anaheim.

My favorite concerts would have been Dire Straits (yes along time ago) Joe Cocker (quite awhile ago) but my standout concerts will be the two I have seen Bruce Springsteen (one many many years ago) the other about 5 yrs ago. The Rising Tour. I would love to see his new Seeger Sessions concert but I doubt that he will bring it here. Please Please Bruce come back.......

Did you see his Dublin concert, it was on tv a little while back (might have been foxtel) its on dvd as well, would have been a great night.

Tickets on sell here on Saturday for the Great Divide Tour, we're going to have a go at least at getting a couple. The John Butler Trio would be another good concert adn I'm kind of regretting not getting tickets to Bob Dylan now, not a huge fan but still would have good to see him live, I just really didnt like the venue.

Quokka I brought it the day it was released here. I love his Dublin concert. I think in total I have 9-10 Bruce DVD's, numerous CD's and lots of old LP"s. I am a pathetic Bruce fan, have been since i was a teenager.

Not sure about Bob, I liked him alot many years ago but have sort of gone off him in recent years. John Butler Trio are pretty cool and they play good music.

And wait for it......THEY'RE AUSSIE!!!

[tangaloomababe]

Maj... Not strictly true. John Butler was born in California.He moved he when he was about 16 so that makes them token Aussies. I think the Yanks will call him theirs

[Majimaune]

Ahh yes well look at this. It says that they are an Aussie band. Coming from Fremantle actually.

Dire Straits back in the mid 80's were absolutely brilliant! Mark had a geat raport with his audience, sitting on the edge of the stage playing his guitar as the stage was cleared! Chris De Burgh put on a great performance when he toured over here, also back in the 80's I think. Still two of my favourite artists. Another super tour was Elton John, then again his tour with Billy Joel. Not nearly as good though. The last concert was in Melbourne...flew over on a Friday night, concert with Elton Saturday night before returning back to WA on Sunday morning! Worth every dollar and lack of sleep.
The next best concert for me would have to be Bob Dylan. Wonderful music and lyrics of course but cost of the tickets far too much for me. Apart from a 'dredged up again' Alice Cooper and Suzie Quatro, nothing much coming along at the moment that interests me.

There's a load of 'stars' who are called Aussie... Olivia Newton John, The B G's, Kate Cerbrano, even my favourite Jimmy Barnes was born elsewhere. Then there's the 'Aussie Bands' Crowded House and Splitenze....etc. Still, it's who they perceive themselves to be but how good their music is.

I might be going to Silverchair/Powderfinger (Silverfinger or Powderchair, take your pick) concert!!

Anyone from here going to be at the Wickerman next week?

[Majimaune]

Wickerman?

[bruno-1012]

Sorry,

The Wickerman Music Festival.

Held in Dumfriesshire where the film was shot.

A music festival with a more family orientated feel to it.

They burn the wickerman at midnight on the Saturday night. On the friday night they burn the wickerboy at 9 - for the kids who can't stay up too late.

Music is very varied and usually a great couple of days.

The Wickerman Festival - Scotland's Alternative Music Event

I wish Our Lady Peace would tour England. I would love to see them. They are my eldest sons favourite band and it would be great to take him to see them for his 20th birthday next year
