Title: Re: Oz shows Post by: LdC on August 22, 2012, 06:15:58 AM I am still bursting with excitement! I just changed my accomodation to the Australian Heritage Hotel which should give me now plenty more spending money!! Cannot be a bad thing...Anyone have any experience of this place? From what I can gather, it looks pretty charming for what is essentially pub accomadation and the word is it may be haunted, so there's a bonus! From what I can gather anyway, should be pretty close to where I need to be! :) :)
ps. My God! Its only a week tomorrow! (well 45 minutes actually) :) Title: Re: Oz shows Post by: LdC on August 22, 2012, 06:40:33 PM Isn't it time?? ;D

Title: Re: Oz shows Post by: Slow In Brain on August 25, 2012, 07:34:52 AM Taking my sons to witness this historic event :)
Title: Re: Oz shows Post by: LdC on August 25, 2012, 05:11:12 PM Why is it only Sunday?? :(
Also does anyone know who is playing support in Sydney? I still fear I may die before Thursday and miss out.. Title: Re: Oz shows Post by: LdC on August 26, 2012, 06:38:01 PM Sorry for seeminginly taking over this thread. I am just too excited. I want to share a dream I had just this morning.
We are at Acer Arena, the excitement is building. Whoever is supporting has just put on a tops warm up, and we are pumped. The lights dim and through the house speakers comes the strains of "Its not too Late" from Pacific Ocean Blue (Legacy edition). Im starting to cry as I hear Denny de-claiming "Its not too late, Ive always Known we'd meet again, and then Id know Ive come to stay..it want be long PLEASE DON't BE LONG!.."...by the time Carl is about to break in just after"waiting so long,please dont be long" im in tears..and then Carl starts crooning in that soulful voice that can only come from a man with a last name of "Wilson", "No, no, no,no,no Noooooooooo, it wont be long!" At this point Im a complete mess with the gravitas of the moment and what I know is too come...Dennis breaks in again somewhere " I CRY FOR MORE!" and Carl starts up again, my lord. The BeachBoys band members have come onto the stage and assembled in the dark and as Carl starts to fade, a HUUUGE standing ovation is heard from the crowd, and then a gasp.., a lone spotlight has picked out Brian at his white baby grand and he is about to launch into the opening chords of the concert opener. Yes I have died I think, but i want to live to see what to come... I have seen Mike's Beach Boys shows twice now and had the privelege also of seeing Brian and his amazing band twice, The Rolling Stones 3 times and various other awesome acts, but nothing is comparing to how Im feeling about this...Please be Thursday already! Title: Re: Oz shows Post by: LdC on August 27, 2012, 09:21:20 PM Hi again everyone.
There is a good chance I may end up with a spare ticket for row 11 for Thursday in Sydney as my friend is sick and may not be able to make it... So, if anyone is interested and has an offer for the ticket, please PM me and I will get back to u asap and let u know whats happening! Thanks :) Title: Re: Oz shows Post by: 18thofMay on August 27, 2012, 10:11:00 PM Stil GREAT seats available for Sydney!!
Title: Re: Oz shows Post by: LdC on August 27, 2012, 11:47:31 PM And it looks like my spare seat maybe definately available...Will know for sure by about 11 am tomorrow at the latest when I start making my way to Sydney....
Title: Re: Oz shows Post by: Alan Smith on August 28, 2012, 02:35:46 AM Brisbane show kicks off in 25 minutes!!!
My OAP parents suprised me by getting themselves some tickets, and while I don't expect an overly insightful reviews or feedback from them (I spent a bit of time on the phone last night explaining the diff twixt this gig and the 2010 Mike and Bruce outing :lol), I'll feedback if I hear anything significant. Hope to hear updates from any Brisbane based Smilers. 3 sleeps (maybe 2.5) 'til Melbourne :pirate Title: Re: Oz shows Post by: LdC on August 28, 2012, 06:53:19 AM No Brissie reviews yet?? For shame Boarders! :)
