Two Gigs In A Week!!
Mar. 6th, 2023 10:15 pmProof that Gen X has still got it... even if we do move a bit slower the following day
Following on from the fantastic Del Amitri gig on Tuesday, Saturday night found us at the Manning Bar in Sydney University - a place I hadn't set foot in since the late 80s when I saw the criminally under-rated Shriekback there... The place seems to be bigger than I remember - which is not how memory usually works, but there you are...
So there we were, to see Electric Six - of Danger! High Voltage!' fame... & Gay Bar infamy... who were only an Electric Five on the night - their keyboard player absent due to "reasons" apparently - but I have to say he was barely missed, even on their (IMnotsoHO) best song, the keyboard-led Down At McDonaldz. It was so much fun to be at a 'pub rock' show after too many years without them, due to Covid & other 'reasons'. There was audience participation, a mosh pit & even some good old crowd surfing... though the consequences of us older generations crowd surfing are a little more fraught these days - we're heavier than we used to be & our hips break more easily when the crowd can't hold you up any more...
Smaller venue - better photos!
