The Palace, Melbourne, Australia
It was awesome. My haert pounded as I became oblivious to the crowd. I remember it
like I remember the first time I had sex, with a mixture of joy and regret. And for
the smae reasons. It was intense and short lived. I had my lovely wife with me
(girl friend at the time) and she was blown away by her 'man', Ian. I also had two
die hard Midnight Oil fans with me, who I'd convinced to come along and pass
judgement afterwards. Dave was convinced after the first couple of tracks, but James
couldn't believe just how tight and 'electric' these guys were live. The Cult won both
over, and just reinforced my comitment to supporting their art.
