The Living End - Big Day Out 2003 

20 years ago this is the moment that the Aussie music scene peaked

this whole set deserves an official release ....Stunning performace from a great Australian band !

The Perth BDO in '03 was my first festival, I'd turned 13 less than a month prior and as it was the day before the school year started so I missed my 1st day of highschool as a result. I went every year for 10 years and at the time it was all normal, I didn't realise how special shows like this were and how much of a unique moment in musical history it was. It was before every 2nd person was a mobile phone filmographer, when people didn't get offended at every little thing and there was that special balance both in the music and culture where classic and modern seemed to compliment each other so well. I didn't think for a second I'd be looking back at some of the shows 20 years later like this. So many incredible bands landed in and came about as a result of these times and for some reason they unfortunately seemed to get obscured by what came before and after. I'm glad I was fortunate enough to grow up when and where I did, even if I was oblivious at the time.

One of my favourite bands of all time

I can't imagine being at such an epic show with such a great crowd! Super under rated band

Listened first time when high school 17 years ago..#2020

I played Prisoner of Society to my kid and he didn’t care. Kids today

Miss the BDO these guys were so good every year and at livid

Into these guys since I saw them open for Offspring in Chicago 1999-ish

Such a great band. I first seen them in Cleveland Ohio with the offspring years ago. Definitely stands out as a favorite to this day !!!!!

These three guys are amazingly talented musicians. And as a semi-professional musician playing with various types of music groups, I know it. Chris Cheney is in another stratosphere when it comes to a great guitarist. And Scott Owen is a monster on the upright.

The best 3 pieces band on the earth play punkabilly👍

How fucking good are they!!

That All Torn Down solo will always be my fav ❤️

Great upload! Cheers!

Let's see there's Angus,Peter Wells and Ian Moss who rocked the pub scene in the 70 and 80s,then shredding kinda died in the 90s and breathing space for who I reckon is the best ever Australian rock Guitarist,and let's face it Tommy Emmanuel had a huge influence on him and he's probably the world's best by a mile...I have heard Chris Cheney do some quick Country style fingerpicking and he smashes it...I'd love to see more of Chris Cheney just on his own playing Country,Rockabilly fingerstyle

A damn fine afternoon’s work! Thanks for posting this.

these guys really earn there coin....love em

Good to see Nikola and Mattias from Millencolin lurking in the background!!
