That's 123-game, 2x All-Sweet FA, 1x premiership winning, 2x wooden spoon winning, Teflon-Tiger winning Jabba73 to you.
Set yourself a calendar reminder.Consider it noted!
Would be one for the diary.Pugsley, if memory serves me correctly, wasn't that Clapton gig here? It entered legendary status of the arrogance of the performer.
A mate of mine recalls a Joe Cocker concert that he saw where Cocker spent most of it smashed as and lying on his back singing. That'd be money well spent.
My favourite, if I can call it that was when mates of mine and I ended up at Devonshire Rock one Saturday night in the early 80s. Australian Crawl were supposed to be playing. They were over 40 minutes late on stage, were blind drunk and proceeded to play as badly as possible and staggered off stage after 15 minutes. The drummer chucking his sticks at the audience just capped it off.Would be one for the diary.
I think if a performance must be terrible, it needs to be legendary terrible like Meatloaf at the GF
He was bad but he was also screwed over big time by the acoustics and set up he was given. The AFL share the blame on that one.Would be one for the diary.

My partner is an obsessive Eric Clapton fan and has a few million stories of the rubbish performances he has been obliged to push himself through. Though the one that seems to have really impacted was some concert in London back whenever and, without warning, the Clapton concert became virtually entirely a Phil Collins concert.My favourite, if I can call it that was when mates of mine and I ended up at Devonshire Rock one Saturday night in the early 80s.

Yes! I was talking about Proper Gander just yesterday. PG brings warmth, humour and enjoyment to all that cross their path.Does anyone in the Sweet FA remember Proper Gander ???
Very generous of him.He will never quite forgive Clapton for that. Reckons he single-handedly destroyed the 1980s
I have this really dim recollection of Billy Idol successfully suing the NRL or some such for making him look like a dipstick. He came out on the ground on a hovercraft or something and the microphone didn’t work so it was 5 minutes of Billy floating around on this thing chased by sound tech guys that couldn’t catch the hovercraft because the driver got the bit between his teeth and he was OFF and the crowd just cheered and laughed.He was bad but he was also screwed over big time by the acoustics and set up he was given. The AFL share the blame on that one.
But Aussies love a good **** up so it went straight to the pool room!

Oh she probably comes in second but my partner seems to really concentrate his scorn and loathing in less likely targetsInteresting take - Most people blame Margaret Thatcher!
Very generous of him.
Personally I blame neoliberalism. And it got its toehold in the 80s.
Can we just call it Thatcherism and call it a day?Interesting take - Most people blame Margaret Thatcher!
I recently saw Billy Joel in Melbourne. I rate that higher than the Paul McCartney concert (and as a massive Beatles fan, that’s saying a lot!)One of the best concerts I ever went to was Kiss. I was never a fan and I was dragged there by a group of friends who had front row seats at Burswood Dome, it was one of their ‘farewell tours’
Well we sat at the bar and when we got in it was an amazing set up, then as soon as they came out everyone just left their seats and surged forward and we were right up against the stage front row…I could see Gene’s eyeballs. Talk about audience engagement! It was just loud, fun, party from start to finish, Gene flew across the stage, it was a real SHOW. Then it finished with encores and about 10 minutes of glitter raining down on us all…I went home spent and both the heels off my boots broke off from dancing so much. I had so much respect for them after that and actually appreciated what they were and their music too.
We still talk about it as one of the best nights out ever and value for every single dollar spent. Great band, superb entertainers!
We're actually the Dolphins, but that's another thing altogether.![]()
There’s a typo in your memory mate
We are the mighty Delons
