I think I've just been given the nod to attend The Boss concert this coming Wednesday at Rod Laver, in one of the boxes.

Looking forward to it!

I think you should lobby for an extra spot in the box for me too jeemak.

I've been scanning the web for the set lists for his Australian Shows, and I must say, I'm getting slightly toey. There seems to be a good mix of some of his early gear and naturally enough, a few tracks off Wecking Ball along with the classics.

At 63, this may be his final visit to Aus with the band so I am really looking forward to Tuesday night at Rod Laver.

April 1986 at the Showgrounds was the finest concert I had ever been to (until equalled by the Foo Fighters at AAMI Park in December 2011). Bruce is legendary for his performances and feeds off the crowd reactions so hopefully everyone is up and about on Tuesday.

Guys I'm a little embarrassed to be heading to this over some of the clearly dedicated Bruce fans who have posted in this thread.

I hope you all find tickets, somehow and somewhere if you're still looking for them!

I just hope he plays Sex on Fire and Everlong so I can rock it out

Well, easy come easy go.

Senior management have stepped in, apparently due to a mix-up I was offered the tickets when I shouldn't have been.


What can you say to that?

Ouch! Kidney stones are natures way of letting you know that you are getting old.


A mate went to see Bob Mould at the corner on Wednesday night. Said he did quite a few old Husker Du songs. I wish I'd gone now.

Husker Du? Now you're talking! Now that's one reunion i'd love to see. I saw Bob Mould at the POW in the mid '90's doing a solo show which was pretty good.

God damn middle management.

That's the problem with lower middle management and not middle middle management let alone upper middle management !!

Re: Recent Gigs & Upcoming ones

Last weekend I went to the Caravan Club in Oakleigh to see the third 'Stopping all stations, including East Richmond' gig. MC'd by Johnny Von Goes, it's a night of songs that have been written about Melbourne suburbs. About 20 musicians took to the stage including Billy Miller, Greg Champion and Greg Macainish and Bongo Starkie from Skyhooks. Great night and good to see the western suburbs represented with iconic songs about Footscray, Spotswood and Sunshine!

This was a senior management decision!

While I agree that middle management, middle middle management, lower middle management and upper middle management can be a pain in the arse to deal with, I can't actually point the finger at any of them for this..........

Pretty sure the chances of getting Mould and Grant Hart on a stage together for a tour are 2/5 of *!*!*!*! all. Not a lot of love lost there. Plus the bass player (yeah I know his name but he'll forerver be known as the bass player with the moustache) is now a chef I believe.

I saw him many years ago at the Sarah Sands-probably the same tour. Anyhoo come the end of the show and I'm sitting on the front of the stage waiting for a friend to come back with a drink. I feel a tap on my shoulder, turn around and Bob Mould is standing there asking for a cigarette. I hand him one, he says 'thanks man' and gives me one of his guitar plucks. I still have it at home.

Skyhooks had quite a few songs about Melbourne's suburbs. Off the top of my head-Carlton (Lygon st Blues), Balwyn Calling and the Daughters of Brighton.

This unfourtunately. I wouldnt want to be holding my breath waiting for a reunion. If it did happen maybe Cosmic Psychos (with Bill and Dirty) could be the support band.
