I got blind.<br />We spent Sunday at the Music Festival. For a Festival that was supposed to have no alcohol brought in there was a lot of alcohol brought in.<br />We were looking for friends. They said go in the gate, turn right and look for the blue tent. There about 4000 blue tents.<br />We hung around the bar and waited for one of our friends to come for a drink, which they did. That's how we found people before mobile phones. Arthur was at the bar to buy a 5 litre wine bladder for about $20. Try doing that at a featival now!!<br />I still remember the kites flying, even after sunset and the full moon was up. <br />Austin Tayshus, the MC, was asking the kite flyers to bring the kites down to 300 feet because they were interfering with the flight paths.<br /><br />The bikies were all pretty cool and didn't stir up any trouble. At night they put their Harleys in the tents and they slept outside. Their wake up call was, "Mull up", at about 7am.<br /><br />I remember the security guys were a lot of black belt, martial arts guys. They didn't care what many people did but I did see them give a guy a hiding that pushed them too far.<br /><br />The music was great. A lot of the bands we used to see at The Florida, at Terrigal, before they became famous.<br />It was the best days music I had seen up to that point in my life and it's still in the top 5.<br /><br />Steve<br /><br />Austin Tayshus was an awesome MC and that's where he introduced Rodney Rude. He cracked up everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4688338390067593326.post-40852353301076827352013-04-27T17:41:59.760+10:002013-04-27T17:41:59.760+10:00Thanks for sharing your wonderful memories of yet ...Thanks for sharing your wonderful memories of yet another Classic Aussie Rock Concert Recky - and I'm very envious.
