Heard some people (including Graham) are getting 6am flights to Melbourne and immediately going to get a number.

I've never heard of anything more stupid in my life.

Just a lazy Wednesday night in Adelaide where we witnessed Backstreets and Jungleland.

Ya know. Whatever. No big deal...

That's nothing short of stupid and unfair.

It's not THAT unfair, in the sense anyone could do it.

It's mind mindbogglingly stupid though. Racing to venues like that for what, to be 2.5 metres closer? The hell with that. I want to stop and smell the roses and have a sit down from time to time.

For me Adelaide 2 was easily superior to Adelaide 1.

That's the great thing about bruce every fan has different favourites they want to hear.

What is this number system?

I am guessing it gets you a better spot in the queue on the day of the show?

He's a twat. Did you expect anything else lol

More thoughts later but...

I don't usually like comparing shows. "This one had a better vibe, but this one had a rare gem, but this one was longer" etc. But I know it's inevitable we'll do it!

Both nights were so bloody perfect in their own ways.

Couple of initial observations though:

- Crowd for Night 1 absolutely SHAT all over Night 2. Lots of people who had no idea what they were witnessing. Bruce and Steve had to work extremely hard last night to get the crowd going.
- Jungleland and Backstreets - no comment required. Bucket List.
- The band were a bit tired from the heat. Not flat by any stretch, but it was a calmer show. I think maybe due to this, Bruce played Backstreets early and Jungleland because the vibe was quite chilled. This is all compared to Night 1 though, which was a ridiculously good party atmosphere.
- Long Walk Home was absolutely outstanding.
- Rockin All Over The World was great!

Roll call times: 9am, 1pm, 6pm.

I don't plan on worrying about roll calls for Melbourne. I am hoping to rock up closer to showtime & see how I go. Might check out Hunters one night, not sure I need to see them twice. I am in town with some friends who are not going to the shows so want to spend some time with them.

I must say I did the queue thing in Perth - and some of those people are kinda freaky. Not sure my life has been enriched by spending time with them.

Can't wait to see what he pulls out. I am hoping for a Racing or Incident - seeing as JL & Backstreets were played my odds may have shortened.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Yeah I've enjoyed talking to the people a bit further back in the queue. The ones with interesting stories and have only seen him a few times and the like. The ones who are just excited and privileged to be there rather than thinking they have some right to be up the front.

I like your style and the way you go about things.

Just a quick question to all....do you need to have your ticket with you for roll call? My brother wants to get a number Friday afternoon, but I won't be down in Melb with his ticket until Saturday. Is this still okay?

I agree, I stood with some awesome people a bit further back in the line. Some it was their first show & they were just excited. The closer to the front the more intense they got. I liked the relaxed vibe more.

"Adelaide, I thought it was hot yesterday. What the f**k is going on?"

 

[jpkennedy]

It's disgustingly humid. Gross.
