Australia made, was it 1990? I thought it was earlier than that.. but yes, plus a million other acts.

[Dirko]

INXS at the Apollo about 1985 (first show I ever went to)

1. INXS as per Zip Zap, Listen like Thieves...I was 12 !!
2. Garth Brooks, Entertainment Centre, Best concert I have seen...
3. U2, 1997, Wembley, Pop Mart tour
4. Rose Tattoo, supporting ZZ Top, shat all over the Tops
5. AC/DC, Globe Derby, when the riot happened, can't remeber the year, late 80's...

HR to Chisel, Ben folds five, any rock act in the 80's, Michael Jackson at Adelaide for sheer
showmanship, Madonna likewise, P!nk, very good...

[JK]

5. AC/DC, Globe Derby, when the riot happened, can't remeber the year, late 80's...

How could I forget that one 86 or 87 maybe??

Also Skid Row at Thebby Theatre, not certain but around 1989/90.

That sounds right, I was about 14/15 and Dad dropped me and my mates off, and went to the White Horse and waited for the concert to finish.

Can remember seeing 4 lads (i.e me and mates) running like our lives depended on it !! Scary stuff !!

australian made was that with the skyhooks, angles and noiceworks.

Nope Australian Made was INXS, Barnsey, Divinyls, Saints, Models, I'm Talking and the brilliant but terribly out of place Triffids.
About 1986 I would have thought, certainly nowhere near 1990. It was just before INXS went ballistic and the Models imploded...again.

[Wedgie]

The Australia Made concert was definately 1990 and no earlier as I was with Mrs Wedgie there and we only met in 1990.
Main gig at Thebby was the Angels but also had Skyhooks, Angry Anderson, Girl Overboard, and lots others, Ive still got the Tshirt somewhere.
Skyhooks sang Jukebox in Siberia which they released that year.
There were concerts in every Capital City, I can remember Mrs Wedgie's brother in law calling us up saying he was jealous as Adelaide had the best one.
Or am I/we getting OzRock mixed up with Australian made or something similar?

IRON MAIDEN Sydney
PEARL JAM Memorial Drive
AC/DC Globe Derby
METALLICA BDO Adelaide

Not mixed up at all, that was Australian made.

3. Charlie Musselwhite and Chris Wilson (can't remember what the venue is called, but old church on the corner of Flinders and Pultney)

That was an awesome show. Saw Chris Wilson the next night too in the front bar at the Gov. Just as good.

[kingrooster]

1. Fabulous Thunderbirds - Old Lion '89/90
2. The Black Crowes - Thebby '92
3. Rollins Band - Fowlers Live - '03
4. The Smithereens - Bridgeway '92
5. Sammy Hagar - Bridgeway '97

[Dutchy]

tough to remember...

Foo Fighters - Thebby 2006
Foo Fighters - Enter Centre 2008
Faith no more - late 80's What was the name of that club in Light Square? Le Rox?
Oils - Memorial Drive Blue Sky Mine Tour, cant remember year
Def Leppard - Enter Centre early 90's

[Punk Rooster]

Too many to chose from, however one show which does stand out is the
SEPULTURA/SACRED REICH: 'Chaos A.D. Tour'
at Thebby way back in the early 90's!

1994/95 ST...?

1. Morbid Angel (1992 @ Old Lion)
2. Metallica (2005? @ BDO)
3 The Mess Hall (Nazz's Band's CD launch @ Fowlers)
4. Suffocation- what it lacked in atmosphere, they made up for it with intensity (2007 @ Fowlers)
5. Many shows where what was going on in my mind far exceeded anything happening on stage!

That's what I was thinking. I saw that concert. Well, I saw The Triffids and The Saints then left. It was just after Born Sandy Devotional got released so it was late 86 or early 87.
Maybe there was two Australian Made concert tours.
