I've seen the Hunters so many times since the 80's and last weekend's performance was right up there! They were all in fine voice, especially Mark Seymour and all of the talented musicians played amazingly. Horn section is a huge point of difference. They have such a great back catalog of songs and I could have listened to them for another hour they were so good. Such a treat for us to witness them together again. Truly one of Australia's best bands. ❤️🎺🎸🥁🎹 🎷

The Living End were the main reason I went to this gig. Have seen them many times and they kick ass! So good and they delivered as always. And I bought the t-shirt! 😁🤘

Boom Crash Opera were replaced by Chocolate Starfish due to illness. Chocolate Starfish went off, as they always do and should be more of a headline act than a last minute substitute. Everyone loves them. Great fun band. Ps. I also love BCO and it was a shame they couldn't perform. Another awesome band!

James was great, he played a lot of the Aussie Crawl classics and still rocks a pair of white jeans like no other 😁

Awesome 🤟🏻 such a great show

Great energy and sound. (Chris complained that the audience didn’t respond as enthusiastically as they did to The Angels. I’d suggest playing songs we know and can sing along to rather than extended guitar solos if that’s their aim.)

Karnivool was excellent, some of the best live sound I've heard. Plini and Cog too, great energy and sound. Pretty much the entire crowd knew what sound they wanted and they got it. Wasn't as keen on Ocean Grove, but it can't all be there and not knowing who they where before I went, my fault really - personal preferences and all. Being outside really helped the noise levels sound punchy and loud without completely deafening me and keeping me up the next couple of nights with ears ringing. Big plus. Only negative aspect was the security. I lost my wallet during the night, so I asked various staff around the venue for where the lost property station would be. Whilst most of the individuals (bartenders, RSA marshals, security, ambo's) where clearly trying their best to be helpefull, I ended up riding a string of suggestions to the next person to ought to be able to help. By the end of the night, that string ended with last security guard (seemingly the manager/boss) who I was told to speak to. He told me absolutely nothing of value. I asked for anyone else who may know, he didn't have a clue. I asked for a phone number or email or just the nearest tent that might have a pile of lost items. No idea. I thanked him anyway and he then told me I had to leave the venue, as I was now outside and couldn't re-enter, despite the fact that I had only approached him because I was told he was the man to speak to and that was where he was standing. He then told me to come back tomorrow, but couldn't tell me when or what might be happening or who might be there. Thankfully, a good samaritan had handed it into the local police station, however, it seemed absurd to me that there didn't seem to be a lost property section, given how many items must go missing at concerts. If there was one, I can't imagine why 4 securty guards I asked didn't appear to be informed of its existence.
