Big Day Out @ Sydney Showgrounds

Rage Against The Machine setlist

What I remember (in 2024)...

Went with Michael.  Ran into Reggae & Beck during the day.

Custard starting the day in a venue like half cylindrical aluminium.  Sound was not good.

David Yow of the Jesus Lizard diving into the crowd.

TISM in there red outfits with the huge tube-balloon heads.

Tens of thousands of people bouncing in unison with Rage's Killing In The Name Of.

All the t-shirts were $30, except Rage had their own stand selling theirs for $15.

The Nick Cave / Kylie Minogue Wild Roses duet.

Packing in down the front for Radio Birdman.  (after hearing Rancid's last song). Again that sound in that room was terrible.
