Place was packed out but I made sure I was right up front...edged my way through the crowd...as I do :)))
Was absolutely fantastic to see them after 20 years!! The Stems were awesome and I wanted to slash my wrists when my video battery died half way through 'At First Sight'....I still feel sad about that :(
Not that we'd know, being total strangers - but I was also right up the front - in the middle, getting mashed into the foldback speakers as the crowd surged forward! Jammed up against the photographer with the ponytail and a couple of very large gentlemen (who made for a bit of a barrier against over enthusiastic punters!)
by the way walhawk...have you worked out how to and are you going to upload the video clip?
Send me a copy of the video and I'll do it =]
Also, I hope you've booked your ticket for the 9/10. Youtube won't let me duplicate the message advertising the show...it only let me do it once (above) and wouldn't let me do it again but I'll keep trying...
I played the Creepers relentlessly in the US on a college radio station. So hard to find anything from them, but I'm still searching. 12 Days was a great album. I remember seeing them for the first time on Rock Arena or some such ABC late-night program waay back then. Great times... great music.
I bought 12 Days to Paris on cassette from Tumut Music Centre in 1986. Used to listen to it in the car all the time.
When I left to go live in Sydney - distressed about an unrequited love - I played it on the trip and cried most of the way. Seemed perfect for my mood at the time. I left the cassette in a pub at Breadalbane and never bought it again.
Thanks for posting this, brings back many bittersweet memories.
