Difficult to choose. Every time I’ve seen the Beastie Boys here, they’ve been bloody amazing. Best Australian band I ever saw was Skunkhour, about 15 years ago. Elvis Costello’s gig a few years back was incredible (his most recent one was pretty good too). Gigs seem to have changed these days. Festivals are all about flag waving, Southern Cross tattooed bogans being obnoxious, and there is no really good gritty location any more like Festival Hall – I saw some bloody amazing gigs there over the years.
Not sure if you saw – they’re just about to perform a reunion tour.
Daft punk was off it’s tits
The Middle East at the Old Museum in 2009. Great band and beautiful venue.
Grinspoon at festival hall circa 2001…. BRING BACK FESTIVAL HALL!! (or at least something similar)
The Red Paintings’ ‘Grinch who Stole Christmas’ show in 2007. It was epic! I’m sure there are lots of videos on Youtube if you want to see what I mean :)
