Evergreen champion centre-half-forwards of the Australian music scene, striding across eras, thrilling the crowds, hitting the packs, taking big grabs, having shots from impossible angles, and inspiring an army of kids to put “YOU AM I” on their duffel coats. There’s a palpable sense of pride that this mighty mighty band is local. We get to go see them, once in a while, knowing that Tim, Andy, Davey and Rusty will DELIVER rock’n’roll with personality-plus packed into every quarter, running hard in red time; more than the sum of their parts. A champion team who clearly like playing together, and have stayed together. Genuine practitioners. Thank The Lord. Re-issue of the first three classic albums on vinyl has further canonised. The rewards are all ours – a band-lifetime of great songs to choose from in 55 fantastic primetime Sunday night moments. (And also with you.)
