I was thinking about the old bands doing their superannuation tours. They're mostly really good musicians and live music has come a long way since the 70s, so the shows and sound are great. But I wanted to find some clips that showed the bands as they were, then, live, in their heyday.
Midnight Oil - Bus to Bondi (1980). I suppose jazz afficionados will think otherwise, but is there a better drummer in Australia than Rob Hirst. The drums are like extensions of his arms.
Midnight Oil - No Time For Games (1982). My personal favourite Oils number, and the EP cover is a classic; Peter Garrett does look like a squab.
The Angels - After the Rain (1977). The second best live show I ever saw was The Angels playing in a tent at Saint Paul's formal at Sydney Uni.*
And a full concert from The Hoodoo Gurus in Sydney 1984, just before they released Mars Needs Guitars and hit the big time. They remind me of The Cramps. None of the big hits here, just lots of energy, and you look at Dave Faulkner and say ""Well it does look a little like him".
- For completeness. the best live show I ever saw was Jimmy Cliff - the best show at the worst venue in Sydney - Selina's.

Hour 20 of Telstra phone call on hold - getting desperate. Need water. Very Hungry. Have lost 7kg. Send food. Send help.
As above. In bad shape. Need good internet ASAP.
EDIT: Doesn't need mentioning, but /s.
EDIT 2: Gentle side note. The music is great. Invited the lads around. Dance party.
