Just got back from mine. They're all over the country at this time of the year. Today has been absolutely gorgeous though. Absolutely perfect. Sunny, (very hot), all my mates, women, booze. Everything was spot on.....apart from the music. :mad111: Utter trash. For me, a good song is where you notice that your foot is tapping without you first realising. If you you do it intentionally, you're being pretence. There was one good band doing a bit of reggae (not a big fan of it), who were the best sounding of the day. A couple of bits and bobs here and there, but generaly rubbish. Compared to previous years. Just thought I'd share my thoughts of my day with the forum goers. Bring on 'v' festival in August.
Not giving my age away but this is how it was in 1972 at The Sunbury Rock Festival in Melbourne. Three days of the best Australian and overseas bands plus 90 degrees F. The first Sunbury Pop festival titled "Rock Happening of 1972" and ran from Saturday January 29 to Monday January 31, 1972. The attendance was 35,000 - 40,000 and the entry fee was $6.00 (3 days), $5.00 (2 days), $1.00 (1 day). Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs Some of the live songs and some others that were performed over the long weekend however there is not a lot of the live stuff on U-Tube.
