The cage was huge, like very very very big, and
she's at the top of it, so I could see that,
and then she just.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Gets into the spectacle.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
It was incredible, incredible of ten.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Numbers, you get bang for your buck.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Then I paid three hundred dollars I would want it.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, but the bulk of that money till he went
on that flipping cage, go down a Bunnings get their
awn material, Stephanie soldering it.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Before the show.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Imagine being one of those poor dances you've trained all
your life and they're suddenly like you in.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
The cage, in the cage hot weekend as well, cage
the whole day.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
What is the bear sort of music show you've seen?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I remember years ago seeing the Rolling Stones at a
London's biggest sort of rugby stadium, twickging them steady, right,
it said about eighty thousand people that it's the Rolling Stone,
so incredible. Midway through they start doing Gimme Shelter and
suddenly there's a block of the stage and you realize how,
oh my god, they're really close together, separates from the
stage and they're all on it. So this is when
(03:49):
Charlie was alive. The drum obvioicerly. So it's Ronnie, there's Keith,
and there's me. They move on this block that moves
away from the stage, it separates and comes down the
middle of an entire eighty thousand stadium.
Speaker 7 (04:00):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
They're singing to.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
The stadium as they're moving towards one end of it
where the stage was right through the middle of the
stadium on the coldest things ever seen life. That is,
they need to do a couple of songs at the
back to see them, and then they move all the
way back to the stage, singing as they go past
us and it's the Stones.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
And because we had no idea, it was such a
brilliant surprise.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
So just like halfway through the yeah, they started up
gim Me Shelton as soon as mixed out, screaming across
my hurricane. That the stage moves with them all on it,
coming through the center of the stadium. It was incredible,
I tell you. Also do an amazing live show is Coldplay?
Oh yeah, Oh my god, there's.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
So much effort. By the way.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
One of the band's mums makes their outfits, like the Yes.
When Chrisparton told me that, I went that figures that's
a cold Play. The guys, one of the fella's mumps
makes those lovely tunics.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
They are tuning.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
There's a lot heavy on the epaulets, aren't they They're
not military.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
And though that's offensive, Chris, what's the best thing? You see?
So many great shows, pantsy, what's the best?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
You know?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
So many and for so many varied reasons. But I'd
have to say for spectacle value, it would have had
to be Michael Jackson at the MCG in the early nineties.
The crowd just did not stop screaming the entire time
and when he came out on stage, so you know,
(05:30):
because he's all about it was all about the production.
And it was like this rocket ship that smashed through
the bottom of the stage and then it opened up
and Michael Jackson walked out of it, and you think, oh,
my god, that is Michael Jackson like that. I'm not
watching a video. I'm standing here in the middle of
the MCG and one of the biggest music phenomenals ever
(05:53):
has like just come out of this ship.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
The biggest music phenomenons ever.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
It's amazing phenom I've heard but never phenomenal, phenomenal phenomenon.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
But it was great. And yeah, everyone's screaming. You couldn't
believe you were there. It was just out of body experience.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
It was great. Yeah, you saw one of the great
what's the best thing you've seen live?
Speaker 7 (06:17):
Ben Fold's Sydney Opera House.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Love Ben fALS.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
He's incredible.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Is with the Symphony Orchestra and he did the coolest
idea for a show that I've ever seen.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Underneath everyone's seat was a piece of paper.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
At the start of the show, he goes write down
what song you want me to play on it? And
then everyone at once made a paper airplane and flew
their song requests down onto the Sydney Opera House stage.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
And he would just spending the show.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Just walking around picking up a piece of paper and
go out, we're doing rock in the suburbs and walk
over there.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
But most of us don't know actually make it. Paper
place shows up and goes at your foot.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Yes, only the people that could make a really good
plane actually probably getting there.
Speaker 7 (06:59):
But it was it to see all these paper planes
just fly over your head.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Was really really cool.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
A couple of weeks ago, Crowded House were here in
Melbourne and they're playing at the Palais in US and
killed her and a friend of mine went along.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
They did.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
There's such a such a smart, funny hit band. As well,
they came out as their own support band, so just
in like shorts and T shirts the B sides, so
there was clearly crowded House like with the support band.
Credited House are coming out in a bit. They were
their own support B sides, which Crowded House B sides
(07:32):
are incredible, as good as most bands a side, but
were their own support band.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
You're a fan, you're getting a double show?
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Yes, yeah, yeah, I remember Food Fighters in Sydney did
a show under a different name at this tiny, tiny,
tiny little bay.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Role did have dancers trapped under him. We know that now,
and then nine months later that cage opened up, baby
popped out.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
Just so there's just random punters at a pub.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
They just think they're seeing this random local band and
outwalk all of.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
The food fighters. And food fighters said.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
And many years ago when Elton John was coming here,
I was trying to persuade his manager to come and
do an RSL. That it got very close, yes, but
with no fanfare because I actually think most of the
people go to an RSL.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You haven't your your partment a pot of it.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
You think, my god, that that tribute guys pretty good,
even looks a bit like him, and you'd carry on.
You wouldn't think that's bloody Elton John because you're in
an RSL. And I was like, we're going to see
how many songs in before people go That isn't him?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Is it? That's the wig? Is? That is good?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
But also ship else all that money, whig technology still
isn't that great? You still know someone's wearing a wig?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
And John all right? What is the best live music
show you ever saw? And why? The Christian O'Connell show podcast,
what's the best live show you ever seen? Live music
show Oasis?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Recently Christian one word epic one tickets in your show

(09:27):
Christian was the sound relief in Melbourne for the bush
Fire A Pills, so many great bands performing for one
night only Midnight Oil. The oars are amazing like crowded

Speaker 7 (09:40):
Wolf Mother, BORGI Marching, great Liner.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
The Great Course, Christian Patsy.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
But I think Prince was better at the showgrounds in
Melbourne he first came here. Also Prince on a bed
on his stage. It was pretty amazing.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Yeah, that was the early nineties as well. It came
out over the over the crowd. It was insane.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Which tour with that a bit ah.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
Diamonds and.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
It was I think dirty man, I mean come out
on the bed.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I mean not if you know sometimes this symbolic, isn't
it songs?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Not Prince one of those big songs cream and he's
on a bed.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
You're putting alls together, you do man grinding on that
microphone stand so clean.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
That lady mate, a dirty man is James Brown? Oh,
I got a bet. He was great live. He just
the microphone. The stuff he did with the microphone, I was.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
Very dirteus live show.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
He gave us out with codonoscopy. He had to sit
down between eight song because he was so old and
he kept having to sit down. Well is he okay
up there? But then he just go just like wake down.
God damn amazing.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
That's why it was actually is that microphone standing was
actually a scratch to get some of those there.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Oh my god, sweaty ass lead.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
The cats at eighties. I saw Prince He did a
big show in London. He did twenty one night residency
in two thousand and seven and he did a really
cool thing you know these days, sort of the dynamic
pricing and that he fixed the price was only thirty bucks.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Oh wow, No matter where you were it was thirty bucks.
That was such a great thing to do.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
In fact, it was thirty one dollars twenty one cents
because he had an now been out the year before
thirty one twenty one, so all the ticket prices for
twenty thousand seats twenty one nights were just thirty one
dollars and twenty one cents.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
What a cool thing to do.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
That was, as you were, the used the word earlier, phenomenal,
a phenom That's what I saw.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Prince was just like, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
You know, you see somebody if you lucky, you see
so many great bands and then suddenly you see something
like I guess for you Patsy and Michael Jackson seeing
Prince that they're not human.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
It's something extraordinary.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
You know, and all bands and are very very gifted,
but you see something like what he did, and he
did like long version of his songs that was just like,
that's not human. I didn't even know how he's doing
that proper virtuoso. Show is great.

But it was it to see all these paper planes
just fly over your head.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Was really really cool.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
A couple of weeks ago, Crowded House were here in
Melbourne and they're playing at the Palais in US and
killed her and a friend of mine went along.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
They did.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
There's such a such a smart, funny hit band. As well,
they came out as their own support band, so just
in like shorts and T shirts the B sides, so
there was clearly crowded House like with the support band.
Credited House are coming out in a bit. They were
their own support B sides, which Crowded House B sides
(07:32):
are incredible, as good as most bands a side, but
were their own support band.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
You're a fan, you're getting a double show?
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Yes, yeah, yeah, I remember Food Fighters in Sydney did
a show under a different name at this tiny, tiny,
tiny little bay.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Role did have dancers trapped under him. We know that now,
and then nine months later that cage opened up, baby
popped out.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
Just so there's just random punters at a pub.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
They just think they're seeing this random local band and
outwalk all of.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
The food fighters. And food fighters said.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
And many years ago when Elton John was coming here,
I was trying to persuade his manager to come and
do an RSL. That it got very close, yes, but
with no fanfare because I actually think most of the
people go to an RSL.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You haven't your your partment a pot of it.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
You think, my god, that that tribute guys pretty good,
even looks a bit like him, and you'd carry on.
You wouldn't think that's bloody Elton John because you're in
an RSL. And I was like, we're going to see
how many songs in before people go That isn't him?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Is it? That's the wig? Is? That is good?
Speaker 2 (08:41):

isn't that great? You still know someone's wearing a wig?

down between eight song because he was so old and
he kept having to sit down. Well is he okay

Speaker 2 (11:02):
The cats at eighties. I saw Prince He did a
big show in London. He did twenty one night residency
in two thousand and seven and he did a really
cool thing you know these days, sort of the dynamic
pricing and that he fixed the price was only thirty bucks.

Oh wow, No matter where you were it was thirty bucks.
That was such a great thing to do.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
In fact, it was thirty one dollars twenty one cents
because he had an now been out the year before
thirty one twenty one, so all the ticket prices for
twenty thousand seats twenty one nights were just thirty one
dollars and twenty one cents.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
What a cool thing to do.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
That was, as you were, the used the word earlier, phenomenal,
a phenom That's what I saw.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Prince was just like, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
You know, you see somebody if you lucky, you see
so many great bands and then suddenly you see something
like I guess for you Patsy and Michael Jackson seeing
Prince that they're not human.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
It's something extraordinary.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
You know, and all bands and are very very gifted,
but you see something like what he did, and he
did like long version of his songs that was just like,
that's not human. I didn't even know how he's doing
that proper virtuoso. Show is great.
