Empty Pockets & Peter Rowsthorne @ Central Coast Leagues

What I remember (in 2004)...

Pete Rowsthorne's ET impression was the best.

Meanies @ The Zoo

What I remember (in 2024)...

Went on my own.

Did not get there in time to see Spiderbait.

Small crowd. Link Meanie wouldn't start until everyone there was on the dance floor in front of the stage. He even went out and dragged people forward.

Rollins Band, Tumbleweed & Kim Salmon & The Surrealists @ Hordern Pavilion

What I remember (in 2024)...

Drove down from the coast on my own in my new car.

Tumbleweed looked great on the big stage.

It was so hot for the Rollins Band set.  People were throwing stuff on stage, but Henry was having none of it.  After being hit by debris he asked the audience how hot is was (you could see steam rising).  The crowd went wild when he bought a couple of bottles of water out, then proceeded to open them and pour them on the floor in front of him.  6000 people were devastated.

I bought a long-sleeve ROllins shirt, with the Search & Destroy tattoo print on the back and dates on the arm.
