30 years after the release of their seminal album 3 members of the
Go-betweens line up that created it return to the stage to perform
it in full along with a few other Gobs songs.
Lindy Morrison Amanda Brown and John Willsteed joined on stage
with Dan Kelly, Danny Widdicombe and Luke Daniel Peacock and
a fantastic array of artists taking on the vocal roles
(Steve Kilbey (The Church), Mark Callaghan ( GANGgajang ),
Ron S Peno (Died Pretty), Katie and Tyrone Noonan (george),
Montaigne, Sam Cromack and Jen Boyce (Ball Park Music),
Tim Nelson and Zoe Davis (Cub Sport),
Sahara Beck and Kirin J Callinan.)
And what a night it was, brilliant in the musical department
of course along with amazing vocal performances
It was a moving, emotional heart felt performance
Steve Kilbys anecdotes were very cool, but the greatest joy
was to see the 3 band members receive the appreciation they
deserve.
One of the highlights was Amanda singing the song the devils eye
But there was many great performances
The show paid tribute to the 2 great songwriters Grant and Robert
constantly and shows how very loved this band is in their home town
I regret not taking my camera but being in the 2nd row I
managed to get some shots on my phone
Fantastic stuff Bob.

ReplyDeleteLooks to have been a brilliant show, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHey Bob,
ReplyDeleteLove your work, I've been following you for a couple years now. I was looking over some of your old posts and found that you posted a 'lost' Redgum album a long time ago (before I started reading your posts).

I was wondering if you still have a copy of it and can reload it as the links don't work.
Other than that, keep up the good work,
Toby
I hated this show. Some tribute to the song writers... where was Robert Forster... It left a bad taste in my mouth.
