Robert Forster Up Late, Brisbane Art Gallery. 18-09-09

Chuck has done it again,
this time he has recorded the last gig of the most recent up late
series and I for one are eternally grateful cause I missed the gig
and it looks like is was magic.
Also many thanks to Kathleen, who Chuck describes as a fan
of the blog, for the wonderful photos that Chuck has used in
his equally wonderful artwork.
Thanks Chuck! Now lets hear from the man himself.

I was supposed to work this day but ditched work at the last
minute to go to a friends funeral and finished a rather sombre
day with this great concert that cheered me up tremendously.
Thx Robert and his 2 great conspirators
Thx also to Kathleen for the pics - some more of this concert
and lots of past pics can be found on Kathleens Fickr pages
found here
This was the last concert in "the met up late" series that
combinedentry into the Queensland Art Gallery in Brisbane
and a host of bands on friday nights. The art gallery was
hosting the "American Impressionism and Realism" exhibition.
The gig occured in a rather large hall as seen in front cover pic...
the artist preformed from a small island in a large pond with
pebble covering... a sonic nightmare, although the recording
/ mix on the night sounded ok.. sadly the rather wined up
friday night crowd murmurings echoed about the cavern
making an acoustic set hard work for Robert;
but 30 years on the job saw him shine on through !
btw - does anybody else still hear grant singing the harmonies
on the go-be songs in their heads? freaky . . . . .
