After sitting here wondering where to start, I'll just start at the
beginning.
For those that don't know, Twin Towns is right on the NSW/Qld border and
because of daylight savings time there's an hours difference between the 2
states, so I rocked up in NSW time and was an hour early which was quite
amusing. The venue is good, with stadium seating at the back half and
mosh-pit (hopefully) at the front. One thing about the sound setup, the big
speaker stacks are set forward from the stage so that when your in the first
few rows your actually behind them and can't hear them. So down the front
you can hear the guitar amps really well but vocals are lost and keyboards
inaudible (esp DWBTO). Sneak was the first band, they played for 30 mins. A
pretty standard rock band from Melbourne with their debut out next week.
Diesel put on a great show with the crowd singing along to his old hits.
Great bass sound from where I was standing (front row facing bass rig) and
moog syth used to great effect.
As Matty mentioned, just before the Oils came out, a roadie ripped up the
standard setlist and replaced it with the most amazing one I've ever seen. I
had made a couple of request cards with Wharf Rat, WCI, B&B but Pete didn't
call for requests and he diddn't need to! Then they came out and launched
into Powderworks. Bones was sporting a gaffa tape moustache and goatie beard
which came off by the 3rd song. Jim's looking more like Ned Kelly every day.
They really pumped these songs out. They were definately looking like they
need a break though and I think Euro workers would be better off waiting
until they are rested than having them burn themselves out over there. Rob
came up front for US Forces and SM, then back for Kosciusko. OK that will
have to do now. Traditionally the second show walks all over the first one
so tonight's gonna be a killer.
Nathan.

WOW!!!
Tonight was amazing. I dunno if theres ever been a gig like this or if there
ever will be again, all i know is that it was my 2nd show ever and it was
awesome!
The setlist were ripped up and replaced just before the band came on and
nathan yell across to me somthing bout that they were gunna play the first
albums.
Any way it was a cracker of a setlist they played songs in chronological
(thats a big word this time of night) order of years they came out, i ended
up getting one at the end. They didn't take any requests but i had a piece
of paper ready to throw up there anyway. I had surfin with a spoon on it and
since we were feeling really dehidrated i wrote "could i please have some
water??? (thirsty)" At the bottom.
I chucked it at petes feet and he picked it up and read it into the mic,
laughed and said somthing about maybe the security guards could get us a
drink. Later i did a drinking motion to pete and he just mouthed "wait". He
never did get me a ! drink but hey i lived. Another highlight was when he
came down off the stage during kosciosko to get up this guy who was shoving
mark. He checked to see if mark was ok and straightened the guy out then wen
he got back up said somthing about respecting otheres.
Only let down was the last encore didn't get played. Maybe due to the fact
the vocals seemed turned right down i dunno.
Anyway heres the set list.
