Hoodoo Gurus - Sydney - September 15 2022 

He was in fine form. A great night all round.

@@Peter_LiveMusic As he was in Auckland in March this year, energy from start to finish!

And now another tour to look forward to here in Australia.

After 40 years, they are still going strong. Yes, a great band.

Yes, a great album. Hoodoo Gurus have written some brilliant songs over the years. The new album isn't a disappointment either. Thanks for commenting.

Yeah, I've been putting that album on for 4 decades now, and it still sounds amazingly fresh.

Content que tu aimes ça. C'était une nuit formidable.

I was so pleased to get to see them. As you said, such a good live band. I wouldn't be surprised if some official video doesn't come out soon, something a little closer than my footage. Thanks for commenting.

Well worth seeing if they're anywhere near you when they visit Brazil.

Me too! Brasil!!!!

Glad you enjoyed it. It was a great evening.

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. It was a fabulous night.

They're still kicking butt. If you get the chance definitely worth going to see. Heading back to The States soon.

Yes, that's a great album. I hummed and harred about seeing their upcoming 'Stoneage Romeos' tour but decided I didn't want to see that album live in its entirety. There are so many other great songs I'd like to hear instead. It wasn't an easy decision.

It's great that the band is finally getting back to Brazil and The States. I'm sure you'll really enjoy the show. I did.

A great night from a great band !!!

It was a terrific night. I'd been wanting to see them live for many years. Great to finally get the opportunity. It would seem that quite a few Australian bands are popular in Brazil. I know GANGgajang is. Thanks for commenting.

I see Hoodoo Gurus have just announced a Brazilian tour. Hope you get to see them.

@@Peter_LiveMusic yes, we will be there !! party on folks!!

​@@Peter_LiveMusic I already bought tickets for me and my girlfriend for the show in Porto Alegre!!

@@bear9362 You'll have a great time.

They certainly did sound great. I'm always a little nervous these days about seeing my favourite bands from my distant past - time is sometimes not kind. But I had nothing to worry about on this night. I thought, being the '40th anniversary' tour, I'd include some of their reminiscing between songs. After all there's more to a concert than just the songs. It's a change to get to know the band a little better. Thanks for sharing your memories of the night.

@@Peter_LiveMusic Thanks mate, loves your work. Heads up - Sunnyboys at Dee Why RSL 22 Jan 23 if you're into them. We're all going - saw them a couple of months ago with my daughter at Marrackville and that was brilliant as well. Nothing like growing old disgracefully....... Cheers from Kimbal

Sorry, that's 20 Jan 23. Senior moment

@@kimbaldunsmore4633 Thanks for the heads up. I love the Sunnyboys and thought seriously about seeing them. Unfortunately none of the dates suit. Have a great time !!!

@@Peter_LiveMusic That's shame you can't go but sure we'll catch up one of these days!!!!

💙🎼🎸💙

Sorry to hear about the poor quality sound for you. I've learnt that sound quality varies greatly depending upon where you are in the room. Generally, down the front where the view is great results in lousy sound. A couple of nights after this, I went to see Goanna. I was excited because I'd scored myself a front row seat. But it turned out to be a real disappointment with limited view and atrocious sound - so bad I had difficulty understanding Shane Howard's between songs talking. Anyway, the Hoodoo Gurus sounded terrific where I was sitting at the Hordern. In fact, they sounded much better than my cheap recording device managed to capture. Thanks for commenting.

@@Peter_LiveMusic I thought the sound at the Hordern was pretty good wherever you were (maybe the way the venue is designed). We were up the front, up the back and in the middle at different times. Obviously right at the front is not good for your hearing though, but hey I'm 57 years old with industrial deafness!!

@@kimbaldunsmore4633 Glad to hear you found the sound good throughout the venue (which is how it should be). When I said 'down the front', I meant right up against the stage, as close as you can get. You are not in direct line of any of the speakers, a kind of 'shadow' if you like. Plus you get sound from the monitors right in front of you on the stage. This causes distortion. Thankfully, even stepping a few feet back can enormously improve sound quality. Because when I'm videoing I like to have the most uninterrupted view of the stage that I can, I'll often be on the barrier. But I always know I'm sacrificing sound quality. I know with the Goanna concert the sound was so much better further back because I've watched other videos taken at the same show. I've no idea where Philip was at the Adelaide concert. Perhaps the sound was bad throughout the venue. A great pity for all the fans if that was the case.

Sorry to hear they aren't playing anywhere near you. I'd been waiting a very long time for this Australian tour. While they have played at a few festivals, they haven't been playing their own shows. It's good that they are now heading overseas to play (maybe a few European dates will follow). You should think of making a trip if at all possible. I'm not sure how much touring they'll be doing in future. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for commenting.

They are touring in May...check out the dates..

J'ai attendu longtemps pour les voir moi-même. Bien qu'ils se soient produits occasionnellement, ils n'ont fait aucune tournée depuis de nombreuses années. Peut-être qu'ils s'aventureront à l'étranger avec leur nouvel album.

@@Peter_LiveMusic une date à Paris si on a de la chance...! Comme la dernière fois en 2009 pas loin du Moulin Rouge. Je ne me rappelle pas qu'ils aient fait même dans leur jeunesse plus de 5 dates en France....

@@lemecontent 🤞🥁🤞🎸🤞

Sorry to learn you're missing out on so much great music from "old bands". Like many (but not all), Hoodoo Gurus are still going strong. And still great to see live if you get the chance.
