    Very disappointing and annoying that members don't get into the NAB Cup game. Especially when we're spending almost $400.

    I went to a 4 band concert at the Horden Pavillion. The opening act was AC/DC with Angus resplendent in school uniform and Bon Scott screaming in the mic. I doubt more than 5% of anybody there had heard of them before and as usual with opening acts, they played about 3 songs before being ushered offstage. Next up were Skyhooks who managed to get 4 songs in before getting the flick. Renee Geyer had 2nd billing and Hush were the main drawcard.

    36 years down the track (reality is hitting home as I type, 36 years ...lol) AC/DC became huge and still are, Skyhooks were huge and are still fairly well remembered although kids my daughters age get a surprise when u tell them Red Symons was a rock star.

    Renee Geyer occasionally gets a 'oh yeah, I remember' but Hush....barely come across anybody who vaguely remembers them, although they get some recollection when you tell them the two guitarists were asian, a bit of a rarity in those days.
    Renee Geyer, now there is a rolled gold hack if ever you saw one. Always has been always will be.

    On AC/DC: a group of us used to frequent the Matthew Flinders Hotel in Melbourne on a Saturday afternoon. (a mate was a bar man and we got free beers) Many a time they would feature new bands in amongst the shockers such as The Ted Mouldy Hand Band (Ted Mulray Gang). This particular afternoon in '74 the place was half full and half cut and this band came on with this bloke in a school uniform. They started up and few people were taking much interest, but about 10 minutes in everyone was fixated and sold.

    2 weeks later they played on a Thursday night and the place was packed to the rafters and rockin'. The rest is history.

    Little River Band also played there in their early days.

    Glad I came on here - just bought our tickets and don't have to wait until Monday. Looking forward to a long weekend in Sydney and the first look at the boys playing in 2010.
