Methinks the good folk of Bassendean won't be too keen on getting him back either.Originally Posted by dave.king1
cheers, Mark.
Actually, the English like him sooo much won't let him leave the place
Could throw in Human Nature ( Bankstown boys ) and Savage Garden.
Not saying I'm a fan but they both made it pretty big on the large stage
I haven’t been to a lot of concerts in my life but it just so happens I took a girl to an Air Supply concert in 1983. Wow...not really my music. At one point in the concert, the audience locked arms and swayed back and forth to whatever song they were doing, ha ha! It was as weird as it gets but the girl liked it, ha ha!
Oh yeah, I just saw The Little River Band with my wife. Not my music, either but that main singer guy was a good musician, I have to give him credit for being able to write the songs and sing and play guitar at the same time in front of 100s of people.
I am amazed that the musicians do not appear nervous. They also hit every note and didn’t make any mistakes....I can’t make that claim as I’m plagued with stage fright.
Can't say I'm a fan either but anything that occurred during my imprint years is hard to forget.
Like some inane lyrics...'Love and other bruises...makes us all good losers'. huh?
Also, your first public performance you will be a bag o nerves. After you've done it a few times you'll get used to it.
cheers, Mark.
There’s one problem...I’ve had a lot of public performances over the years. I always just power through the horror. The absolute scariest was 18 years ago at a national conference at work. We employees put a band together and performed top 40 cover songs for supervisors, upper level management, coworkers, everybody at the end of conference party. And it was filmed. At one point I played EVH’s “Eruption” before “You Really Got Me”....played it a 1000 times as a kid but still had zero confidence. I pulled it off but was a miracle.
That’s why it’s such a blast to see Olivia, Cheap Trick, Lou Gramm, etc. perform. Those are true professionals. No fear whatsoever. They’re all way past their prime popularity-wise, and sound better than ever. Real respect for Olivia for performing while having stage 4 cancer! I am the biggest chicken in the world compared to that!

Many years ago I went to LRB concert in Brisbane just after John Farnham replaced Glen Shorrock and also with American bass player that has since hijacked the band.
Awesome performance and halfway through gig the venue lost power. Didn't stop Farnsie as he and the drummer kept going and he was nearly as loud without pa working!

Ok, she's not a guitarist. However, I saw her in concert last year and she is a pro performer and an inspiration! Olivia was nice enough to take photos with us fans after her concert. She is too cool....I don't remember if she's a Brit who lives in Austrailia or an Aussie who lived in the U.K. but whatever...if she needs anything...a kidney transplant, for example, I'll donate mine.
Her bass player and guitarist must both have nerves of steel because they were sharing the stage with an angel and neither missed a note. No one did! Olivia was even doubling the guitar solo with her voice which I had never heard before.
I am proud to say that Olivia is my music inspiration!....
She's pretty good looking for her age.
olivias guitarist and bandleader is Andy Timmons. an awesome guitarist from the dallas, texas area. he also can sing just like john travolta on her duet songs
