Bob Dylan 24-8-14 Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Center.

A few photos from last nights Dylan gig, very low light conditions
so it was difficult. The performance was fantastic,
 the best of the 3 times I've seen him.
Great band and much nicer venue than the entertainment center.
He played 2 sets, no support, mostly newer songs from Tempest,
a few classics thrown in,
Tangled up in blue and Simple Twist of Fate were my highlights
and the encore of All along the Watchtower and Blowing in the Wind.
It may well be the last time He makes it out this way at 73 years old.

For lovers of Brisbane Music and Culture this is one
of the greatest things to happen here for ages!

This has been a massive undertaking, 
but an incredible journey of discovery. 
Brisbane has always been a unique and

innovation in the modern art form that is electronic music. 
There are some wonderful stories in BNE,
 but most importantly there is a lot of amazing music.

Vital Juices Records First Birthday

        One of the more fantastic things to happen in my neck

of the woods in last last year was this wonderful

     record store opening and just a few months before

I decided to return to vinyl.

I have been introduced to some amazing music by shop

patron Grant and have picked up lots of old favorites.

There's a fantastic buzz about the place and Grant 

pulls out all the stops when celebrating  

Along with his incredible musical knowledge and

service I can't recommend this place enough. 

There's so few places like this these days so you

 have to support them and I can tell you Grant

 supports the local music scene and quite a lot of the

 local acts are releasing on vinyl now. 

 As part of the first birthday celebrations there was

 an art exhibition, something that's happened here before,

 as well live music performances and a photo booth

 project, where people could come in and get 

 photographed with there favorite album that they 

 bought here in the last year.

 I had so many good one to chose from but went 

 with Nick Drake's Five Leaves Left 

 while my Youngest son came along with his pick

 The Hits, Hikikomori, a much hipper choice than mine

 The Hinterlanders where once again fantastic to see, 

 putting on a fine performance

 and very unfortunately I had to miss Halfway, 

 but I will see them one day!

                                    
                                            

                                 
                                       

                                      

                                         
                                    

The Sports - Don't Throw Stones

Formed in 1976 in Melbourne the Sports towered above so
many bands to become one of the best and fondly remembered
Australian bands from the era.
When Andrew Pendlebury joined in 1977 one of Australian music
most enduring partnerships begun, with both artists helping the
other out on their later brilliant solo projects.

This their brilliant debut Lp was released in early 1979 and became
part of the new wave of music that was called um,
New Wave oddly enough.
The album had 3 singles and the photos here come from my vinyl
copies I picked up recently that included the
Reckless/Mailed it to your Sister 7 "single.
Which I haven't included in this download.

The Sport went on to release other 3 or so EPs
and 3 or so Lps as well as a couple of greatest hits
type compilations.
They split in 1981 and both Stephen and Andrew embarked
on successful solo careers.
