Gee wizz where has the time gone
I was 19 and remember holidaying in Melbourne with friends. While visiting a music store, there it was the video sitting on the shelf, thing is I had pre ordered the video in my home town and it hadn't arrived by the time I left for Melbourne.
The temptation to buy it was killing me, but could I afford 2 copies/did I need 2 copies. Thing was that Australia had missed out on the SB tour, I needed to see what was going on, (thing is down under had never missed a DD world tour previously). I remeber a TV music show mentioning DD would start thier Aust tour in Perth on May either the 8th or 6th (can't quite remember) yet this was not to be.
Anyway when I finally purchased it once back in my home city, I naturally loved it, however was a little disappointed that it wasn't the full gig in its entirety. Like, we had the "3 to get ready" doco, we just needed the entire gig.
To this day my favourite song from that performance has to be vertigo. I never quite got the song until seeing that particular extended rendition.
Most likely coz notorious was the first DD LP release without the lyrics included within the LP sleeve? So you either had to listen carefully & when unsure make the lyric up.
When I watch it even to this day, everyone did a great job playing on this tour but I think in particular WC coz he was "hungry" to belong to a group.
Lastly, I must say, What an impressive web compilation you have ansgar, in fact it's OUTSTANDING, unlike anything else that's currently online TBH
Loved the SB Tour read and the detailed "DD released" collection list. It's immaculate!
Again I don't often say it but your accurate list account, simply can't be bought, we are very fortunate, THANK YOU for taking the effort !
