WOW !!! What a show. I've never seen the guys happier to be on stage than
they are right now. Even the usually reserved Jim, was laughing & smiling
all the way through. Hell, Martin even slipped a few do-do-do-do-dos into a
microphone during TDH !!! Rob just gave 110% and was justifiably buggered at
the end of the show. And Bones, well the guy has an amazing voice and his
bass playing was flawless.
PG was at his verbal best, taking some well earned pot shots at our nation's
leader for issues ranging from the current boat people crisis (just how
relevant is Ships Of Freedom right now ?) to the fact that he was one of
only 3 people in the stadium that didn't acknowledge the significance of
the Oils' Olympic performance
The crowd was one of the best Oils crowds i've ever been part of and I think
the Oils quite visibly fed off the enthusiasm, judging by the fact that they
didn't want to leave the stage. So if you were there, thanks for
contributing to such a great atmosphere.
Cheers,
Vince
