i'm going to rename my dick "rod laver"

Go ahead...but I doubt that it possesses accoustic qualities that would do justice to the name.

depends on the arena

FunkyStrange said:


Least it isn't sitting on my shoulders. I don't know...we post a few harmless positive comments about an undeniably brilliant stadium venue - best in the country by a long shot - and all we get is these childish purile clowns with their childish purile dick and fart jokes. Pathetic.

AntonL said:

make up your mind man

davidmelbourne and antonl are officially my new favourite orgers

I suppose these childish inane comments should come as no surprise coming from a little yellow duck with a sailor's cap and a guitar tucked under its wing...

AntonL said:

that's a bandana...fool...you aint cool

do you think the rod laver arena might really be heaven?

MrBliss said:

No, but Brisbane and the Gold Coast are a version of hell. No acoustically-designed stadium venues up there... Hard to even find a decent coffee and someone who speaks English...at least without saying "hey" or "but" at the end of every sentence.

You fellas are crackin' me up! Im very impressed with the whole rod laver analysis..how bout a show down on the grass out the front some time..throw your rods around???

AntonL said:

no need to be like that hey... prince seemed to like it but...he rocked for 3 hours hey


welcome to newbie fams and the fammy fams...starring fammy ..and the "i just shot my load all over the rod laver arena duo" ...hey...but

I thought silliness was restricted to the GD forum...

WRONG!

Every concert is special to the peeps who were there.

He probably just had to slow things down so the locals could keep up.

More nonsensical gibberish...from Mr Blissfully Ignorant.

I saw D+P Tour 3 times in Melbourne in 1992, saw the 1st concert in Sydney on the 24/10/03 and then saw the Brisbane show on the 27/10/03.

The Brisbane show last week was the best of all for me. Smaller intimate feel, no rushing to the front and great set list. Prince was also in a great mood.

Sounds like a great show, George, no disputing that. I was just stirring up a bit of interstate rivalry with the earlier comments which were largely tongue in cheek (and Duck Boy was easily stirred). I only went to the Melbourne concerts so I can't compare shows between cities.

The RLA is definitely the best stadium venue in the country though, no doubt about that.

My brother saw all 5 concerts and he told me that the 1st SYDNEY concert was the best, 2nd MELBOURNE show 2nd best.
So dont give me that RLA accoustics shit!!!

Peace.
Dom.

But wuite lickable.

Ditto, and I gotta agree. The hyped crowd had alot to do with the first Sydney show being so good. The 2nd Melbourne show as a performance was amazing, but they were all really great. Of course the highlight of the tour was The Basement, never ever dreamed I would be a part of something that great.

At the end of the day, Prince would have played roughly the same setlist in each capital, so you would get largely the same show. It was all great, amazing stuff, a real showman, like James Brown, and we hope he returns soon.
Can they, the promoters, bring out Brown too, and P-Funk?
The sheer euphoria after the gig (22/10) was amazing...It was something like Woodstock, people joining together...The problem is music is so corporate and packaged and marketed these days, people become suspicious and wary, and Prince is an antidote to that...he is a singular genius...
Cannot believe it was real, what was seen and heard, and have seen many, many concerts...
It is interesting if you visit the U.S. and see how blacks are treated, like scum, unless they play basketball, but if they visit Oz as musicians they are treated like demi-gods...We look up to them because they come from America, but in the U.S. they are treated like criminals, unless they are famous...

George and some of the P-funk crew already toured here this year, hopefully they will make a return trip soon!

A very funny read (so far) As one who say both OCt 21 & 22, 22 was JUST WENT OFF, but BrisVegas sounds like the one to best of the best.

and australia has such a clean history when it comes to aboriginal people

but Australia has a strong welfare system...
for Pete's sake if you pretend you have a sore back here you can get $10K a year, on a pension, and the Aborigines are well looked after too today...we have a welfare system and medicare system the americans don't have... we have low-cost universal health care...and that applies to everyone... so it is silly to complain about aborigines today...nothing like our welfare system exists in the U.S...
also the unemployment benefits do not phase out here, so don't pretend the aborigines or others on welfare are treated badly...
