Its amazing how u think back in 1995 and 1998 they were doing 10, 11 shows here for the tour....Where in 2006 they did 12 shows...thats pretty good!

Nearly ended up only being 11 shows

Jack Irons is the drummer on the Melbourne 95 boot, and if I remember correctly, Dave Grohl joins them onstage

Do u know why they did 1 show at the Music bowl then the other 2 at the Tennis centre??
They could not have liked the Music bowl much cos they havent been back there......

This is a ninety minute tape...
I couldnt find a setlist for the 1995 shows so Im not sure if there were more songs to come or not

This is no joke.. I used to buy 100 min or 110 min tapes to tape pearl jam concerts on radio hehe.. i think they were 100min

To mix it up, as it was their first time? Maybe they thought the place was massive because of the whole 'Australia is massive' vibe looking at a map gives... (like charting new countries on a holiday... you have no idea how big it is until you get there ).. in Sydney they did an Eastern Creek Concert... then a couple at the Entertainment Centre.

So maybe they thought they needed to spread themselves out around the major cities....

Yeah although the tennis centre and the music bowl are in sight of one another...
Ive only seen Metallica in the Ga area and RHCP in the seated area at the Music bowl......the RHCP seats were awesome but it lacked that closesness that u get in an arena atompshere....

My daughter has gone to get a tattoo today.........
I shouldve gone with here and got the PJ crossed surfboard logo...


I wonder where Zenith is....she hasnt been here for ages....

Yeah perhaps the drumming sounded different cos they toured only 3 mths after the release of Vitalogy............. I liked Jacks drummer on the later albums...
I did notice listening to the tape the drumming sounded different...

Don't destroy me for this, but I'm not a fan of Jack Irons' drumming work. He lacks IMO the aggression on the drums that compliment Eddie's vocals.
Dave and Matt both have/had the "X-Factor" that Jack missed

I've been thinking the same thing. She's supposed to be coming to the meet-up
