Fri Sep 08, 2006 12:01 am
I just got back from the Countdown concert. Now for those not old enough to remember, it was the pre-cursor to shows Like rage, and Video Hits etc etc., Hosted by Molly Meldrum.
Tonight was just nostalgia awesome!!!!!!
For those who will remember, here are a few of the Highlights...........
John Paul Young.
Ross Wilson Mondo Rock/Daddy cool
Brian Manix Uncanny X men
James Reyne Aussie Crawl
Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons/Joe Camilerri
Renee Geyer-Faark was she awesome
Hush- Yeah, I missed them live in the 70's, but the were mad. The did their whole fireworks and flaming guitars thing.
Sherbet - Hate Darryl Braithwaite,this was the worst part of the show.
Grace Knight
Joe Dolci-still funny
Models
Psuedo Echo
and there were prolly that many more bands again. It was just a full blown memory jig!!!! We had floor seats, 15 rows back dead centre! Magic

We saw the Sydney one on Friday night. I thought it was pretty good although I thought some were pretty ordinary, notably Renee Geyer who was bloody awful. She must have been having a bad night or something Wendy Stapleton wasn't that good either I thought. Meldrum's bit was just boring.
Hush were really good although old Keith has knocked himself around over the years. Ole 55 were a bit of a highlight too I thought, and Brian Mannix. Mondo Rock played exceptionally well. My missus loved Sherbet, I never liked em so thought it was too long.
Overall it was a pretty good show, albeit bloody expensive at $139.
