Saw`em in Australia

[dusty]

Hi,all.....
After many years of waiting,Devo were coming to Oz....You couldn`t believe
how over-joyed that made me,having never seen them live.
When the `Splendour in the Grass` tickets came on sale,a friend of mine
tried 8 hrs solid to get them for me on line (I don`t have credit card)but
no-go..........Very dissapointed I was.
Then joy of joys...Sydney tickets and I got some(cash)....
Waited 27 or so yrs for that night,and even tho` it was only a small
venue,it was worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 2 support acts were `Eddy some-body-or-other` (boring)...Regurgitator
(very good)and of course the boys of spud themselves (Woo-Hoo)
The few pics I took are of course...blurry and distant.So I went looking
on-line for other Sydney concert pics so I can always remember at least some
of that particular event that `I` was at.
One good site was christinelam.com...or similar (and no I am not
spamming/promoting her site intentionally...it just had quality pics on it)
Can any other people point me to some good pic d/load sites of that sydney
concert???

P.S. Bob #1 snapped his guitar strings during Smartpatrol (I
think)...now,that was accidental,wasn`t it??It`s not part of their acts on
my videos/dvds.
P.P.S. reading some other site,some guy said he hung around afterwards for
some time,and was rewarded with a chat/autographs of Mark and Bob
#1....lucky bastard as we got a taxi just minutes before and a few metres
away.
P.P.P.S. this sounds silly,australia is isolated in some ways,so just
curious....who is `Nutra`??

Anyway,hopefully they might come back again someday,hopefully I don`t have
to wait another 27 yrs!! :-}
Cheers

He does it every time he plays that song.

He's the astronaut logo that was featured on the New Traditionalists album.

Yes it is. That's how Bob always ends his solo.

Devo has always been fairly sociable with their audiences.

Nutra is Devo Inc.'s official spokesperson, but it's really just
Jerry.
