14 March 2009 - Sound Relief Set List

The mighty Hunters performed seven songs...

01 Introduction (Assault on Precinct 13)
02 When the River Runs Dry
03 Do You See What I See
04 Blind Eye
05 Say Goodbye
06 Holy Grail
07 Throw Your Arms Around Me
08 encore break
09 The Slab

Looking through their singles anthology on humanfrailty.com.au, for them to pick another pop song for the set, they could probably have chosen from:
Everythings on Fire (um, no!)
Where do you go?
Head Above Water

Either of those two would have met the public's approval, but really I'm pretty happy they did The Slab and confused the public. The public deserves it. :D
There's an long list of just-off-the-charts stuff they could have played that the public would have been confused by. I'd have been happy if they'd played Dog! Biiiig fat bassline again. Vaguely inscrutable lyrics.

Can I just say that the H&C set was Magic.  Finishing with 
The Slab was a masterpiece.  If the crowd "got into it" it 
didn't show up in the footage, but I was thinking as they 
came back for the encore "what if they do The Slab now!" and 
they absolutely aced it.  I'm still grinning 
and ear-worming it 15 hours later.   I'll be watching that again 
tonight.  Shamefully I have not been able to watch the full 
Oils set through or any other footage, except the transfixing 
Liam Finn piece ...


Hunters set was fantastic.  The Slab didn't go over that well with most of
the crowd, though.  Most of the masses that went ballistic over Holy Grail
and Throw Your Arms Around Me were standing there going "what the f$%& is
this" and had no idea.  I liked it though!
