they done it because back then there was no venue in adelaide capable of holding enough fans.

stage was setup at one of the track's apex's, facing across the track and toward the grand stands as it allowed thousands to rub sweat on each other near the front of the stage, a few thousand to the sides and surrounding areas, and people went back to the grand stand area for drinks, munchies, etc.


if you ever get the chance you've gotta see them, they are the one band ive heard that are just so much better live than they are on a cd.

most other concerts i have attended (inxs at memorial drive, def leppard "in the round" at the adelaide entertainment centre) and a few others were good but nobodys live gig's ever compare to ac/dc.

don't know if they are coming here but I would imagine they will stop here if they hit the US. getting tix should be easy. I recently learned that I have an untapped resource for all kinds of entertainment tickets. they aren't free but they are available. Sporting events, concerts, broadway, tv show tapings. All a phone call away.

it's great reading about the experiences ppl have had at different shows.some memorable ones i've seen

george thoroughgood.gave me an appreciation for sax i didn't have before,really goes through you live the sax.

guns & roses.outdoor at the local racetrack.was in the hills and there were bonfires everywhere,folks getting thrown up and down on blankets,everyone sharing what they had smuggled through security,really cool atmosphere.

iron maiden.was fairly gonzo'd at this one,eddie spun me out i couldn't figure out how they made him work.a 12 foot guy with really lifelike movement on stage.killer concert.

elton john.one of the first concerts i went to,and still the best.we had seats in the nosebleed section but the venue was new and they hadn't worked out the security.during the first song ppl started to move forward,a trickle became a flood and we ended up front row centre standing on the chairs.dunno where the ppl who bought those seats ended up,heh.

ac/dc.they finished with for those about to rock and had the 2 cannons either side of the stage blasting the pyro.if i was going to war i'd want to be listening to ac/dc

pink floyd.beds flying across the roof crashing into the stage,giant floating pigs,awesome multimedia everywhere,all time great music.once in a lifetime experience.

zz top.worst concert i've seen.they didn't want to be there it seemed.low volume,they appeared glued to the floor..not even a guitar spin? bah

stevie wright.saw him many times at the local pub.the extent of his "performances" were mumbling through a couple of songs then staggering into the drumkit.at the time i didn't appreciate what a legend he was..really sad.

the angels.seen them dozens of times,never a bad show.doc is a monster.

matthew sweet.doesn't like to perform live,it showed but the music was still great.

other good shows i've seen

u2
midnight oil
dire straits
dio
