In answer to the common criticism, why do you go to a concert and watch it from behind a screen, there is a simple answer, because I like it. Sure I miss some of the immediacy of the moment, but I also gain things that add to my enjoyment of the experience. There's the challenge and creativity involved in trying to catch that moment to the best of my ability and my limited resources. I know I'm never going to create professional quality footage but that's not the point. Above everything else it's to give me something to take away and relive in the years ahead.
If you own the copyright of any of the material on my channel and would like me to remove it, please contact me. I have removed a couple of videos but have had more of my footage used to enhance other videos. These have included Wreckless Eric, Midge Ure, The Damned (in one of the band's own music videos) and Kev Carmody (by SBS in a TV doco). Obviously, I'd prefer the latter to the former.

Radio Birdman - Sydney - July 5 2024
The last time I saw Radio Birdman was in December 1977 at the Paddington Town Hall. I’d bought myself a white business shirt, safety-pinned a few well placed tears and silk-screened the band’s logo in black on the back. Together with a thin black tie, my dark purple hair and a Patti Smith badge I was a mixture of influences which most young Australian punks were back then. It was an event to go down in the band’s history and I was privileged to have been there.
These days any performance of the band is historical, especially when it’s possibly one of their very last. Back on stage in their home city were Deniz Tek (guitar), Rob Younger (vocals), Philip ‘Pip’ Hoyle (keyboards), Jim Dickson (bass), Nik Reith (drums) and Dave Kettley (guitar). And didn’t they sound great! Who would have guessed that this tour marked their 50th anniversary. From their 23 songs I recorded seven:
Do the Pop (00:08)
We've Come So Far (To Be Here Today) (02:55)
Descent Into the Maelstrom (06:49)
I-94 (11:21)
Anglo Girl Desire (14:33)
Hand of Law (18:02)
New Race (23:24)
My selection reflects those earliest years, a nice bookend to their “Live at Paddington Town Hall 12th December 1977” recording. If only we had the visuals to go with that.

In 1994 Sydney band Caligula supported Depeche Mode on their last Australian tour. Thirty years later they decided to pay tribute to them by playing Depeche Mode’s seventh album “Violator” in its entirety.

Sydney band Lunar Module wear their heart on their sleeve, and that heart is 80’s Electronic Pop. While many other 80’s bands are busy covering the greatest hits from that decade, Lunar Module continue to write original songs with an authentic 80’s sound that takes you right back to the likes of Depeche Mode, Duran Duran and Soft Cell. Here are two songs - “The New Romantic” (00:01) and “Syncro...

A beautiful 'Black Beauty' - these are worth AUS $8-9,000. They are super heavy. The late genius Steve "The Riffmaster" Clark had truly epic Customs, x3 Humbuckers with a Kahler. His creme LP Custom is to die for.
I saw em in 81 at the tower in Philly. Great great show i was 21 and stupid. Now im 64 and stupider. God Bless. Ty
Nice work! Of course online nothing can really match the sound of Birdman live without blowing up one's computer speakers. The energy of Sunday night's show was amazing
You are absolutely right. Videos can never adequately capture the excitement of being there. At best, they provide a glimpse, or if you were there, can trigger memories. I've read comments about all three Sydney shows. Everyone was blown away. I've no idea whether or not these will be their last shows, but they've certainly got a lot of life left in them. Thanks for commenting.
Bruce does not look well. Shame, superstar.
Nice one Peter. Excellent..... I wish I'd been there at this gig. I hadn't heard of these till seeing this vid but not too shabby. lol . Hope you well.
Hi Tank. How goes things? Along with The Saints, Radio Birdman formed in the early 70's but it wasn't until punk came along that they got the recognition they deserved. Their influences were The MC5 and The Stooges, amongst others. There's been three incarnations and three albums. They are somewhat legendary in the Australian music scene. They certainly lived up to that legacy during this gig. Thanks for the comment.

Sad they don't sing their best hits
And what are their 'best hits'? They are performing Dare after all. There are only so many songs you can fit into a concert.
@@Peter_LiveMusic Not being negative of anything, but only 2 on that roster that would keep any diehard HL audience truly entertained. Hey they were great with their performance no doubt.
@@dsmlabs7187 I'm not being argumentative. I'm genuinely interested to know what you think their best hits were. Dare was their biggest selling album. I can tell you there were plenty of very happy diehard Australian fans with this tour.
More people need to know this band!
Definitely !!

Played my Dare pre recorded cassette to death in the early 80s..Then bought the vinyl and recorded that onto cassette which kept my original LP in mint condition. Bought it on CD, have the digital download BUT if I want to really enjoy it, I spin my original LP. PURE BLISS. I hope everyone enjoyed this stellar show in my most beloved City 💜💜🇦🇺
A great album no matter the format.
I’m seeing them tomorrow and I’ve been wanting to see them since I was 11. Im now 28 so I’m super excited. Also seeing level 42 tomorrow 🥳🥳🤩
So how were they? Everything you hoped for?
@@Peter_LiveMusic they were fantastic! Really was the best night. They were everything I hoped for and more ☺️ level 42 were great too 😁
@@HoneyHolliebee Really pleased to hear !!!
Hayley looks more comfortable on stage here than ever … great show
It was a great show. Hopefully, The Jezabels will do some more concerts in the not too distant future. Meanwhile, I'm thinking of seeing Hayley in one of her upcoming gigs. Great new single from her.
The old church has added its own ambience to this performance and it adds to the poignancy of the tracks, but in a warm way. It's lovely seeing these songs performed. Thanks for sharing.
It was a lovely venue and a terrific night. I really liked the 'trio' version of the band. Thanks for commenting.
My favorite album and Imo their best material is Mars Needs Guitars. they could play that entire record cover to cover like when I saw them mid 80s in New Orleans. Every single song is strong
Yes, that's a great album. I hummed and harred about seeing their upcoming 'Stoneage Romeos' tour but decided I didn't want to see that album live in its entirety. There are so many other great songs I'd like to hear instead. It wasn't an easy decision.
thanks for posting!!! saw moz in 2022 and 2023 and he sounds as incredible as ever...... what a man
Yes, he still sounds great. Hopefully his 'new' album will finally be released soon. Thanks for commenting.
Even the Bass player looks like Nigel Griggs who played a BC Bass back in the day. Is it him, perchance?
Was there with my older brother. Fantastic gig but did anyone notice that Booji Boy fell over the foldback speakers near the end of the show? Was worried
It was a great night. Don't worry about Booji Boy, he lived to fall over yet again on another night. 😆
Great video and sound quality.
Thanks very much. Glad you enjoyed it. It was a terrific concert.
Yes, Charlie's good
Thanks like the last one better hope all is well ❤
You're welcome. Music always makes things better.
Not really but my respect for you continues on the up side my parents finally went❤️
Reading a book called First They Killed my Father great read sad but can’t put it Down if you ever get board Lisa
They’re great until he starts his political rant
Ah yeah I must say I miss the old band, they were brilliant musicians. Richard is just as he always has been.. Kirk's lead guitar was awesome! Selinas....I was there 1986
Thanks, DEVO were great from beginning to the end. Their 1982 shows in Australia were amazing, treadmills on stage 10 years before other artist were claiming ot was their stage trick.
Can't agree more . I saw them using those treadmills in Toronto . Blew my mind . I was on acid . Cheers .
Still sounds good
THANK YOU FOR COOMING TOO SOUTH AFRICA MY WIFE LEFT ME THE NEXT DAY!
Great to see my colleague (at TAFE) on the BASS and BVs. I hadn't seen anything recent from him.

Thank you for capturing a couple of songs! It was an incredible night from start to finish. They absolutely NAILED it. And I know at least some of us were there for both :-) I think Caligula are the perfect choice to cover Depeche Mode. I think covering such a well known and loved band must be at least a bit fraught to any musos, least of all an established band with their own music and following. Caligula can stand on their own feet AND do an amazing tribute - just incredible! I love DM so much, I wouldn't really want to watch anyone of a lesser calibre try to recreate the sound. Really, really hoping they grace us with another performance (same album, different album - don't care) 💜🧡❤
I'm actually sure there were plenty there for both 😄 (as it should have been). Yes, it was an incredible night and the band did a great job covering the songs. I'm disappointed that my camera was playing up as there were a couple of other songs which sounded even better than these three. Let's hope Caligula are back on stage really soon. Thanks for commenting.
great video thank you !
It was a great show. Good to see them in a venue with such wonderful sound. My video doesn't do it justice. Thanks for commenting.
Yeah I bet, wish I was there. Looked awesome. Really enjoyed listing to this last night loud in my headphones while working. Thanks for posting!
@@charleswalsh2893 You're welcome. They are one of my favourite bands. I just wish they'd play Sydney more often.
Wow it really does sound better than I would have figured! I wonder what their set list will be in November-December 2024 on their Generations tour.
I too was a little worried about how good they'd sound after all these years. I was very pleasantly surprised. And in fact, they sounded better than my recording as some distortion has crept in because I was quite close to the left hand speakers. Hope you enjoy the Generations Tour.
@@Peter_LiveMusic thank you!
Just discovered this video of my old friends. So glad they made it to Australia after all this time. We had some great times together in the 1980s.... Ah the memories.... They are still every bit as good as they were then...trust me, I know, I was their manager in those hazy crazy days.
I wasn't all that sure what to expect after all these years. Yes, it took them a long time to make it down under. But it was a terrific concert - great music, wonderful humour. So glad I went along. Should they ever get back here, I'd definitely see them again. Thanks for commenting.
@@Peter_LiveMusic My pleasure. I managed the band during the 1980s and one of my regrets was not being able to bring them to Australia. I also managed Simple Minds and our early tours of Australia were legendary and we had some of the best times of our lives. Gary and Eddie are great guys and, you know what, they are every bit as good now as they were when I managed them. Thanks for posting...Ah the 'internet'...what might have been if we'd had it 'back then'.
@@brucefindlay Gary talked about being on tour with Simple Minds. So now I know how that came about. I saw Simple Minds on their first Australian tour. Sadly, I remember very little of that show now which is the main reason I video a couple of songs from each of the shows I go to these days. I want something I can go back to and revisit time and again. Yes, if I think of all the concerts in the '80s which I could have videoed if only the technology had been available.... I also saw Simple Minds on their most recent Australian tour when they got to play the Sydney Opera House. Another terrific night. You'll find my video on my YT channel. And I can fully believe that Gary and Eddie are just as good as they've ever been. They were brilliant. Thanks again.
@@Peter_LiveMusic That 1st Australian tour in late 1981 was one of the most memorable and exciting of times that I had with Simple Minds. Australia welcomed us with open arms and a big heart...we loved it.

It was a terrific night and Lunar Module were in fine form.
Wouldn’t Lula have made an outstanding Jam song on The Gift??? Would have been an opportunity too for Weller to take a lead vocal on a Bruce song because it sounds like it would really suit Weller’s voice
Excellent performance and a bloody good drummer too capable of lovely harmonies as well.
Yes, it was a great night. So glad I got to see them. I thought he was a terrific drummer, although there have been some comments here saying otherwise. I think some people thrive on being negative.
