I listened to the channel 9 concert Music from the Home Front tonight - Australian and New Zealand music icons singing various songs from their homes mostly. A great way to finish off ANZAC day.
It was acknowledging and thanking our health workers with a sense of the spirit of the ANZACs shining through.

The Ch 9 program was interesting, hearing the stripped back versions of well known songs. And quite a difference in approach, from stripped back to complexly arranged; a lack of multi-tracking on vocals meant the songs weren't overproduced.

Some artists have pretty sophisticated home studios.

Talking of music icons, I always wanted to see Billie Thorpe, but never had the opportunity before his passing.
Passed away way too early, real Aussie legend.

Nice one SpT.
Sunbury-era Thorpie and the Aztecs were something to behold. I saw them live once, in a smallish country hall. To this day the loudest thing I've ever heard. I have no idea how I escaped permanent hearing damage. He was playing the gold top Les Paul, unbelievably cranked

Got to agree with that comment, the band played the Polish Hall for some Uni sporting club, from memory. The acoustics were awful, and it was ear splitting. They shut the band down as it was unpleasant. But then, so were we. 1972?

Only other act I've ever seen booed off stage was Wayne County and the Electric Chairs. Reading UK 1977. There was punk and then there was NY punk!!

Good one cynic, CCR one of the great bands, my favourite when I was a young guy was this one. Jeez I used to crank it up and the old man used to spit it.
