Funeral songs? or songs you want to die to?
If I was going to die by song I'd want them to be
5. Jump - Van Halen
4. Drop the Pilot - Joan Armatrading
3. The Jack - AC/DC
2. Burn for You - either INXS or John Farnham. Either way I'm in great pain
1. Anything by Kanye West or that whole genre of music he belongs too. |

My Top 5 concerts.
1. The Clash @ Festival hall 82.
It was the last ever (true) Clash concert and went for over 4 hours.
4 encores of 3 songs each!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzFxWPku4BY
2. New Order, Simple minds and the Saints at the Crystal ballroom in about 1983.
Spent the night running up and down the staircase trying to see as much as possibly could.
(We tried to get the Saints to do an encore but Bailey was adamant, support acts don't do encores!
Bummer!!!)
3. Santana, Fleetwood Mac and a bunch of others I can't remember at Calder raceway in 77.
(I went with Trevor Marmalade (ex Footy show) and we each had a 750 bottle of Southern Comfort but couldn't take it through gate...so we skulled them! (explains why I cant remember most of that day).
4. Billy Bragg at the Palais in St-Kilda in 88.
Small and intimate venue and Billy at his very best.
5. Bruce Springsteen at Hanging rock a year or so ago.
The sound wasn't great but what a show-man and what a repertoire!
Had the crowd eating out of hand!
Honourable mentions...
1a INXS at a little dive in Carlton called Martini's in 81.
Their first ever gig in Melbourne and I could see straight away these guys were going somewhere.
1b The Barking Spiders (a.k.a Cold Chisel) in about 83 at Her Majesty's in Sth Yarra.
I got to sing on stage with the band, (again my memory of that night is hazy at best). |

Top 5 worst football experiences (live only)
1. 1981 grand final. The worst by far. My girlfriend dumped me 3 weeks before, just before the Geelong debacle. My car broke down on the way back to Canberra after the win over Fitzroy. Stuck in Seymour for a day and a half. And it is the only time I have seen the Showponies win a premiership, live.
2. 1973 Collingwood v Richmond. my first live game at Victoria Park and it was a shocker, never in it.
3. 1976. Southampton v Chelsea. my first soccer match and I was involved in a soccer riot! very scarey, couldn't wait to leave to miss the post match crowd and those arrogant Chelsea sods won 3-1
4.1980 grand final. Stayed to the end, but nothing to get excited about all day, an ordeal
5.1987 Collingwood v Melbourne a few days after the Hoddle Street massacre, Collingwood lost by a huge margin, the place was like a morgue. |

I would put in Bowie at the MCG in 1979, Marianne Faithful at a small theatre in Flinders St in about 1988 and Archie Roach and Sweet Honey in the Rock at the Concert Hall also late 80s |

You must have encountered the Chelsea Headhunters. They had a notorious reputation in those days especially in the 70s and 80s. They began to die out in the late 90s.
They're actually still around these days but only have about 150 members today.

Didn't see Bowie at the G, (I was working out west) but saw Patti Smith at (of all places) the Hilton in East Melbourne.
The Clash concert is one I'll never forget. |

I saw Bowie at kooyong in the 80's. Glass Spider tour.
Between the pint of Southern Comfort I tool in inside my boot and the joints being passed back and forward in front of me, I quite enjoyed it.

4. Millane
5. Tuddy
