Perth show - May 27

[ivan]

well, where do i start....talk about being on Cloud fkn 9!!!!!!

awesome show in perth, dont know where to start so this review could be all messed about.

had the priveledge of watching the guys in sound check a few hours before the show. they band couldnt believe how tight they sounded together. there was just 6 of us and as they finished we met the band and said our hellos and then goodbyes before the main show.

so after the opening act Baby Jane, who were pretty good the band came on at 9....opened with Bach in the Saddle.

here is the setlist to the best of my memory, and best order i can remember;

Bach in the saddle
Slave to the grind
Big Guns
Here i am
piece of me
18 and life
Monkey business
Stuck inside
Australian Metalhead
Bitchslap
Live and die
Stabbing daggers
By your side
I remember you
You dont understand
Youth gone wild
Angel Down

and there were 2 other songs which for the life of me cant remember now..........so total of 19 songs!!!

the band sounded great, the sound was excellent.
Bobby on drums was unbelievable. Metal mike and johnny very good too, and i love how rob de luca goes about it...he is awesome!!!

and baz....well people couldnt believe just how good his vocal range is, the way he holds his notes.

i feel like a little girl with all this excitement

then the after show where baz and the band were having photos, signing autographs, drinking............all 5 of them were very approachable.

awesome time had by all....especially me.

and just a little hint.......they cant wait to start recording their new album.....start the countdown now ;D

it was a real special show for the band, especially Baz as this is the hometown of Bon Scott. (Baz and Johnny visited his gravesite the day earlier).

yeah i got a pic on my brothers camera, just waiting to get it off him.

the venue was excellent, a lot better sound than the Dome where they played last year. we only had about 1000 people....there wasnt really much publicity and being on a tuesday nite probably didnt help.

Hey wicked review man!!! Thats so kool that you got to hang out with the band!! I would have loved to have met them, they rocked out so hard last night!
I had been looking forward to the concert since I heard that they were coming back to Perth, and they didn't disapoint! It was such a wicked night I'll never forget, I'm sore from rocking down in the front row. hahaha
Can't wait for the new album!
To everyone that was there last night in Perth thank you for rocking on! It totally kicked!
Lots of luv em

[brmslash]

Yeah, the show kicked ass. Saw them last year with Guns N' Roses and was pretty impressed. This time around they were even better!

The crowd was a bit small, but as mentioned there wasn't much advertising (the only reason I found out was my friend got an email from Tiketek). Also having seating was a bit weird for a rock show, so a very limited mosh pit created by a few seat jumpers

Here's some photos I took from the second row. Enjoy

I also took some video, which I'll post once it's finished uploading to youtube.

[Katkick]

whoa! those are kickass photos brmslash!

[jojo711]

those are great shots for sure!

[Bazerrk]

[rocknrollmom]

Welcome to the board Brmslash. Those are some great photo's. I especially love the swinging mic one.

[Daemona]

Awesome photos Brmslash!

[Papillon78]

Great photos! Welcome to the BachJungle!

[Deleted]

Wow. Great shots! So clear. Can't wait to see the video!

[Dogface]

Best pics so far of the aussie tour WELL DONE!!!!!

[AussieGirl]

Fantastic Shots so clear Love them I am with ssnow cannot wait to see video... ;D ;D ;D ;D

[brmslash]

Thanks everyone. Yeah, I was pretty happy with the shots.

Youtube or my browser hung while I was uploading the video, so I've had to re-do it. I've set my home computer to upload while I'm at work. Youtube is blocked at work so I won't be able to update until another 8 hours.

I'm only on a 512k down / 128k up connection, so it takes a while to upload the 200+ MB video. If it completes while I'm at work you maybe able to find the video by searching youtube. My youtube username is BRMSlash, if it helps.

What kind of camera was that? - really nice!
The kind of pictures I always dream I'll have at the end of the show

[brmslash]

The camera used was my fiance's Fujifilm FinePix F31fd www.dpreview.com/news/0609/06092501fujif31fd.asp, set on auto. I tried a few different settings while the warm-up band were on, so by the time Baz and they guys came on I had the camera in pretty good shape. Only got a few blurry ones. I still had a hard time taking pictures of the drums for some reason.

Previously, I've used my Fujifilm FinePix F10 and had pretty good results, although I had to resort to manual settings.

[Katkick]

hey! thanks for the info (I'm about ready to toss mine... but I overpaid for it 8 years ago... so, dragging me feet a bit)
Keith (he's a member here too_ took pictures of the guys last year in Japan) gave me a terrific suggestion of a Canon's PowerShot G9

[ivan]

fkn brilliant photos.......cant wait for the video!!!!!

[smecker]

[teegs]

awesome photos!!

[brmslash]

Damn it, the upload to youtube hung again. I think I'm going to have to figure out how to convert it first before uploading....

[savageanimal]

Holy fuck those pictures are so awesome!
They boys look all great and I hope it was such a fun time!

[brmslash]

Ok, I discovered the multi-video upload option in youtube. Seems to be a lot more stable with large files. I've uploaded my second video first as it was shorter/smaller.

Check it out, Stuck Inside: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSEnXzig4n4

Now that was successful, I'll try uploading Back in the Saddle.

[brmslash]

OK, here's the other one:
