Last century I went and saw Cheap Trick with some friends at a venue in Hindley Street
It was an upstairs room, and not a big venue , cant recall the name of the venue, but it was near the Desert Sands Coffee joint
One person was a mates girlfriend
She had to see Doctors after that gig
She had ear problems, and suffers from Tinnitus as a result

Im sure my current Tinnitus is a result form hearing loud live bands in the 70s and 80s
Tinnitus is a annoying condition where your ears ring and groan

Bearing in my how Ive suffered, Imagine how many band members suffer as well in their later lives

Yep, was a warm day that ended up with a summer storm at night. I remember the day well, I made 30 n.o on Lockleys PS Oval and had to retire ( as you did back then in school cricket ) was my first 30 n.o.

Yep, I recall Angry throwing the VB stubbies into the crowd too.

As for ZZ Top miming, I would not be surprised.

Sherbert at the Octagon theater in Elizabeth early 70's ... they were not a well known band at the time.

Alice Cooper's 'Welcome to my Nightmare' concert at Football Park, i walked out stoned after the concert without even having a smoke, there was that much of it in the air.

I didn't see you there FB, one of the best concerts I have ever seen--I loved Alice Cooper's early music, Billion dollar Babies and Schools Out were my two favourite albums, I still play them now and then.

Thanks Blacky

On the same show was Dinah Lee a bird from NZ
Her hit was (Don't you know KOCKOMO)

Love Alice Cooper. I was born in 1974 so would have been to young to see that one guys

Would have loved too.

Welcome to my Nightmare is a great record. Bob Ezrin who produced it is a genius!!! Love his work
