  1. Hmmm… hope they do a side show. Would love to see them at a good venue in Melbourne!

    • Agreed – reckon its a forgone conclusion that they’ll do at least one. I saw them at The Metro (now Palace) in Melbourne in 1996 (front row and it was brilliant (despite front row bruised ribs against the barrier). Same venue would be great (I think 1,500), Forum is probably too small (~1,000), yet Vodaphone Arena (5-6,000) is probably too big. That leaves Festival Hall (~3,000) unfortunately. Nooooo!! Bloody well hope not.
