pete said something (which i cant remember anymore!) at the breaking of
the dry gig in melbourne many years ago at the music bowl, words were to
the effect which sounded like they were breaking up, but i agree, they
just dont seem to want to retire, and nor should they! i've heard him
say similar things at the end of other tours as well, yet they always
come back for more! not sure if anyone noticed, but in the latest
qantas inflight magazine, there is a short article about the backsliders
and their new recording, it refers to rob hirst as the ex-drummer from
midnight oil!!!!
im convinced they are not going away for a long time yet!

Another awesome show,
What else can I say? Its nearly 4.00am and the brains not workin to
well......
Pretty much a total different setlist to lastnight except for a couple
of the better known radio hits, some of the notable inclusions were
river runs red, warakurna, one country. Steve got a setlist so I'm sure
he'll let you all know.
The five of them were arm in arm at the very end of the show and they
took a bow and Andrew said that he'd never ever seen them do that, so it
adds to the mystery as to whether retirement looms......I'm still to be
convinced. After the show some anonymous chick told me that she heard
Peter say something to the effect of "we'll have a break but we never
retire" when questioned if this gig was to be their last. It was a
pretty inconclusive comment that unsuprisingly didn't give away too much
so make of it what you will.
Diesel put on another great performance, and on the 2nd last or last
song of his set, we heard clanging on the water tank on Rob's kit up the
back. Diesel himself turned round to see what was goin on, and who's
head did we see poking out of it??? Rob must have crept into it with
pretty good stealth as we had no idea till he revealed himself. He came
out of it and on to the stage, he really seemed to be enjoying Diesel's
music. He hung around till diesel finished and they walked off stage arm
in arm. It was all pretty amusing and entertaining to see that side of
Rob.
Mark.
