GAAAAAAAAAAAH my gawd i wish you were coming down here to come with me that would be the greatest **** EVER!

David...u are the luckiest dude in the Macdom! I think the band should fly you over with them and you can get the VIP treatment to the show of your choice.

I'm bringing my recordables. no promises. but i hope to get something worthy of sharing with the ledgies!

No promises?? You need to take a vow, swear and oath. If they start making out, you are honor bound to record it!

When do they actualy arrive in Australia? is it this weekend?

[Gazz]

My best estimate is midnight Saturday Melbourne time, based on Mick's interview on Melbourne radio saying they were leaving Friday (US time).

This is so exciting for me personally to see all of you fine folks "down under" get your chance to see them. I would've loved to have gone to either Australia or New Zealand for some of these shows, but alas airfare and work got in the way! I'm not complaining though I had a pretty good year. Anyway, like I said I'm very happy and excited for all of you In Aus and NZ. Have a great time and tell lots of stories!

Oh, well if there is any kicking, drunken rages, guitar throwing, or mocking, delete your camera and destroy all other evidence.

i meant since they were here in 2004
they were uber affectionate

[StreetAngel86]

Can someone let me no how the camera situation is 2nite. I dont like all those VERY overt NO CAMERA signs everywhere :§

[Gazz]

The band played an awesome show tonight. Stevie was exceptionally happy and put a lot into all her songs. They seemed really pleased to be here - Mick is well recovered, Lindsey his usual best but John looked a bit tired. I hope he is ok. The show was very well received, but...

I must say, they had to work very hard with audience to get the kind of reactions I saw during my six shows in the US earlier this year. My home town crowd did not respond the way I was used to, so that was disappointing. E.g. very little cheering to Stevie story about Gypsy, even though she kept adding more and more to it! The audience got going late in the night with GYOW and Don't Stop, so that was ok.

The lack of cheering wasn't helped by the meaness of security only letting the first six rows up. It wasn't enough, as many older people did not want to stand all night, so it was the smallest bunch up the front I have seen. They will hopefully relax this for future shows so a packed crowd up the front can go off like the US ones did! We managed to get up there for Silver Springs (from row 12).

Off to bed now. Hope to a get a good ticket tomorrow and try again!

PS - for the person who asked about cameras - security were obessively strict about ehm too - none allowed!

cheers, Gazz
