>metres X 40 metres

>Black wind is the last i remember before they were asked to finish because
>they still had two more acts to follow
>Two more encore songs but to be honest i'm not sure which one's they chose
>Their show went overtime by an hour  because they had a late start
>(technical difficulties) and the crowd wouldn't let them finish even though
>the stage MC tried.
>I managed to score set list but I had left the wife to listen to Casey
>Chambers while i went to the Backsliders so i didn't get to hang around to
>see if i could chat to Rob or maybe score a drum stick......... i've been
>chasing one for 20 years now
>Not to worry next year perhaps!!!!!
>I did hear that a very attractive blonde bimbo got a stick ......surprise
>surprise but Rob didn't throw them to the crowd like years gone by
>Rob really enjoyed himself and he has fit in well
>We even got a drum solo which included a drumming expedition around the
>stage on anything that he could drum including speakers, wheelchair, floor
>and mic stands. The old beaten up bean shaker got a mention from an Oil's
>tour of Brazil and his drum kit was bought at a second hand shop in the
>Blue mountains
>       If you can imagine a large natural hill with permanent stage capable
>of holding 75000 people on it to watch Casey chambers
>the crowd was a record so they put another act on after Casey to slow the
>crowd exit
>Well the next act Sensitive new age cowpersons ( quite good hailing from
>perth WA) were finishing their last song and there was my wife asleep with
>no one within 50 metres of her waiting patiently for me .........what a
>lovely girl

>outside waiting to get in was about 200 and they had been waiting for 45
>minutes

>they knew of the show they just missed !!!!!

>       I manage to get about 20 digital shots of Backsliders, mostly of the
