Equinox @ Macquarie Uni



Tool Setlist Equinox 1997 1997, Ænima

Midnight Oil Setlist Equinox 1997 1997, Breathe Tour


What I remember (in 2024)...
Went with Roberta, Beck and Reggae were there, and so was Nags.
Stages were side by side at the bottom of an amphitheatre, one band finished the other started straight after. 
Nags had said not to miss Sprung Monkey and they did not disappoint.
Local H killed it.  Playing High Fivin' MF, Joe Daniels drum kit was shaking he was hitting them so hard.
Maynard was only wearing shorts and boots and was painted half blue and half white for the Equinox.
Was expecting The Oils to be a let down after Tool, but they came out firing.  Only The Strong, Cold Cold Change & Don't Wanna Be The One set the standard for an absolute blistering set.  Best Midnight Oil I'd seen to date.
There was a "surprise" guest after the Oils.  Everyone had a theory.....Pearl Jam, Jane's Addiction...turns out it was the winners of a 2JJJ competition.  I don't remember their name, but people left in droves when they came on.  I felt bad for them
