I was watching Metallica actually, I'm sure the Lips were good, but I'm happy with my choice!
Used to be Nazz Thursdays, The Stealers Fridays and Dean & Carruthers Saturdays at the New BoundaryI have not seen many concerts ... so I can pretty much comment on each of them! This list excludes a number of MSO concerts and anything non-music eg a bunch of Rodney Rude features.
Violent Femmes - Metro. Was very drunk on bourbons and had torn old shoes held together with staples. They came apart during concert and when the slamdancing started, people would land on my feet and impale my toes on the staples. The Femmes were probably my favourite concert. They were preceded by the Clouds which were also great.
John Cougar Mellencamp (Lonesome Jubilee) - maybe Melbourne Park? - This was a really good concert, he has very enjoyable music and didn't use any special effects but the band was very vivacious and energetic which made it a lot of fun.
Died Pretty - Corner Hotel, Collingwood Club, Corner Hotel - Lumped them into one number as I was drunk at all of them but I had great experiences of live band music each time. One of the Corner Hotel gigs was preceded by Phil Para. The third concert was my first outing with my (now) wife of 7 years. It was a shame that they every called it quits
Nick Cave and Bad Seeds - Palace/Palais. I can't remember which venue as I was very drunk. He was preceded by, umm, Gondwanaland? Not sure. I leant against a partition that formed part of the audio booth and it started to lean over. I and a bloke on the other side stopped it, he glared at me but let me be. By then I was so drunk I was worried I'd be incarcerated for it so I scarpered. I think it was a good concert.
Underground Lovers - Central Club - I was extremely drunk and can only just remember that I really enjoyed this concert!
Raspberry Cordial - John Safran singing "Mr Sheen" and other masterpieces while we, as part of an approximately 15-strong audience, played pool up the back. Very amusing, had no idea who he was at the time. I am still looking for any decent quality recordings of his songs : "Let's Play Matchbox Cars" and "There's No Kangaroos In My Backyard". he was preceded by us getting blind in the public bar. I don't think there was a cover charge. I'd heard him interviewed on the radio earlier that day (or the day before) so encouraged one or two mates to come along and see what it was like.
Bob Dylan - Rod Laver Arena - A lot of fun, he wandered through quite a lot of music. Preceded by Paul Kelly, who my missus remarked is the obvious Dylan cover band.
AC/DC - Rod Laver Arena - Late 90s, which concert was that? We met at ALbion Charles Hotel, Northcote, went to concert, then nailed our butts to barstools at the classy Carlton Club until daybreak. Was a lot of fun, very raucous, though I don't find anything about it overly memorable.
Greenday - Festival Hall. Myself and my two friends were probably the oldest people there. We met at the Savoy Hotel opposite Spencer Street, its closed now
80s Enuff - I know its just a pub band, but most of my favourite live band experiences were at the feet of Futureboy and his cohorts. No band that plays Safety Dance should ever go unpatronised. After an unsuccessful attempt to witness them at some pub in Prahran, I saw them first at Transformers, where we had various experiences of fists thrown and police intervention. Fitzroy and Saint Kilda in a room full of alcohol, what do you expect! When they moved to South Melbourne, we followed them, where I was ejected three times by crowd control for excessive dancing, the third ejection unceremoniously removing about 25% of my left hand. Hence a very special place in my heart, 80s Enuff were my favourite live act in music. When Futureboy moved on, so did we.
{dunno who} - Great Britain - Might have been someone like Ned's Atomic Dustbin, I don't fully remember. Nondescript memory of the even, may not have been drunk enough.
Nikki Nicholls/Wendy Stapleton/Lisa Edwards - Fitzroy Club Hotel - As Roys social club members, we were treated to many fun performances by these and other vocalists. We were very, very, drunk, but everything I say about them is true.
The Nazz - Fun cover band we used to see in the late 1980s at the New Boundary in Richmond, before heading down to the Richmond Social Club, and stroking it in various directions. There was another band there at other times, can't remember who they were now. Similar, more covers, can't remember name. Can anyone help?
Mental As Anything - Village Green. At this time, the Village Green was just a great big shed, looked like a VOP grain shed! They were a lot of fun, but I don't think we stayed the whole night. From memory, the preceding act (dunno who) cracked it with the audience for not responding adequately to his music, and gave us all a serve. Or I might have dreamt it.
Weddings, Parties, Anything - Forester's Arms - Had usually only gone here for discos but the WPA were on and a mate and I decided to go and check it out. Not overly memorable, s'ok.
Wow, that might just about be it!
WTF? Launching Place or Yarra Junction?

Saw them a few months ago live, Red Hot Summer Tour, Mannum. Hunters and Collectors were the last and main act. Living End played prior to them. They were so good H and C ended up being a let down and a lot of people left before they finished, they ended up walking off the stage in a huff.
