@Holygasoline - yes sadly it happens to all of us. but what wonderful memories of those times, magical indeed. Aussie music around this time was the best i think, but sadly todays Aussie bands try to sound to American. We had our own sound back then and it was awesome. Thanks to all those great bands back then.
yep , knew they were doing the small venues because they played in ireland a few years back. I suppose i shoulda been clearer with my question to the you tube world , i really meant why are they not bigger and doing the big venues !! i only got into them about twenty years ago but totally love there stuff..............
@stuartbaxter123 ...and meant to say - they have been "gigging worldwide" for decades - just not to huge audiences....but appreciative ones nonetheless.
I concur, only the name of the singer of the greatest band ever is Steve Kilbey, not Kirby....wtf, guys, this is supposed to be a spot for church maniacs...
Does anyone have the speech given by Steve Kirby just prior to this performance?
It was one of the best things I've seen on TV for years. It was admirably matched by Marty Wilson-Piper's comment straight after - " We have spent 30 years trying to be enigmatic and aloof. That's all been ruined in 15 minutes". Great stuff! Worthy inductees into the Aria Hall of Fame.
How many other people on Australia Day are you tubing Under The Milky Way and Great Southern Land?!

Sorry Albengals - didn't see the 'Church Maniacs Only' sign at the top of the page.
I'll leave now. Still, it was a great speech by whoever the guy was ...
