I actually remember this magazine. Talk about blast from the past.

Hi Gioia, can relate to this one. I went to both Sunbury 73 and 75. Sunbury 73 was regarded as the best of the four. We travelled down from Sydney, 5 of my school mates in a 62 Holden EK sedan bought for just $300, all of us just 16 or 17. Great music, great vibes we had the time of our lives, stories too numerous to tell. Billy Thorpe was the king of Sunbury but there were great performances from Pirana, Madder Lake, Sid Rumpo, Carson and Greg Quill and Country Radio and many others. To some extent bad weather ruined Sunbury 75 but there was still some great music. I've had the book for sometime and yes I am in the picture featured at 13.30. Another great vlog Gioia, absolutely love your work.

G'day Gioia. Just watched yr evil vid. I was Booker 89-90, between Alex karinsky and Alex Roche. A wild time. Tobias van Leeuwen

Saw many many bands at the SCT.

hi...grew up at narrabeen... hope to live there again one day... just wanted to point out you spelled "narrabeen" wrong in the "Royal Antler" text graphic in the bottom left corner... at 0:21

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

Australian ROCK history, this is why I turned out the way I did. Excellent video, cheers and all the best.

Oh my gosh , what a great find. I must have this if I can find it.I remember this . Billy Thorpe I loved him 💕 I saw him play at Wyong and he was bloody fantastic TfS . I was born at The Entrance. Grew up on the Central Coast. We had a great little festival at the Entrance . It was The Levis 2GO concert at the memorial park. Such a great one. I was quite young then maybe 16 - 17 at the time .

Hey sweetheart, Your just tearing us oldies apart looking at these mags , you may point out bands but I’m looking in background and see others that we followed, each to their own but absolutely love it girl ! This was life line for music junkies at that time !!🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️thank you son much ! Neil

All of your posts rock, to quote Neil Young, "long may you run."

Thanks for these videos where you are looking at magazines and books such as this one. It's a great idea and I'm really enjoying watching them.

Nah any of the first 10 Big Day Outs were way better, just check the line-ups of them it can not be disputed...

wow, i didnt know Queen played there or that it ran for that long..

hi gioia great book i was at sunbury great time

I remember a band called Solid Sound that regularly played at the Maroubra Seals club . I wonder whatever happened to them ?

" foggy memories " from " my " beer glasses 🍻 ! "

" they made a "awesome lasagne !"

kino has entered the chat. nice glipse into australia's musical past

I have 2 good mates who were members of Simple Image, Ron 'Cass' Gascoigne, bass player, and Gordon Wylie, drummer. Great blokes, I hear from Cass often. Gordon and his wife are back in N.Z. Gordon's health could be a lot better.

Beautiful! Stage was set for AC/DC, if only Bon and Phil knew what was around the corner.

😬 13:10 hows that for an opportunity ☝️ jesus you won't see anything like that today 😳 great video 👍

The shire is fkd up !!

Thank you for sharing. Back when 20 cents could of been 20 coins & w/o GST. I paid $4.80 for The Age last Monday and was perturbed how thin it was until the attendant started to give me the head bobble. Looking down I realised I actually had three copies, I considered returning all of them out of principle but chose to get one as a prop for this story I’m now telling. On a separate note, the 20 year sealed document release is proving to be an interesting one this year.

Aww aren't you a lovely northern beaches girl. The Antler was awesome when they opened the roof. Bands were generally $3 and it was the Oils that first charged $5 in a Sydney pub. JJJ gig guide was standard Fri and Sat nights. I loved your trip down memory lane. Thanku. If you ever on the Gold Coast lets go see a band.

good old days magazines about the bands gioia

What ever happened to seeing the Models or Pseudo Echo or dancing to New Order, Prince and Bananarama. ❤❤

Played there, was heartbreaking having to walk past it all boarded up, they absolutely killed Darlinghurst.

Call me biased. That issue captured one of the peaks of rock music Eg. were there ever, any other single issues of a rock magazine with two articles on the greatest band of all time - when they were at their peak? Robert Plant, more bluntly than ever - saying he thought the band were SO much better than anyone else that he couldn’t even think of who might be close! Wtf!? Even John Lennon wasn’t half that cocky The ultimate cocky hot rocker has just set himself up to be shot down Then the review of Physical Graffiti Most of my life I agree with you, the best album of all time Seems Percy the tall poppy was right

They packed a LOT in that first issue. Great of you to share it.

I saw Buffalo at Chequers early 70s, Townhall sharpies drank at the Civic around 73..

I saw Iggy Pop there and remember the ballroom floor bouncing. Also saw The Violent Femmes.

absolutely every aspect of sydney's character and culture has been completely and irreversibly gutted. All just one continuous bland, sanitised, gentrified space now

This is great, Gioia. You are a fantastic historian of Australian music. Thank you.

So many, many bands and venues for so many years all experienced in various stages of altered consciousness. Simply can't remember them all but the On The Street paper fills in a lot of those gaps. Great stuff. Love your dedication towards exploring back into that street culture that was full on. My favoured period was 77 through to around 83 when it was very new in the beginning, raw, experimental and vastly different to what had come before. Got commercialised later and the ability for convention to eventually control it slowed the whole revolutionary process down to a standstill. Happy New Year 🎈🎆🕯

The car park services the Tullebugera Outdoor Recreation Centre. The QLD state government had plans (see PWC minutes 18 March 2002) that the centre would be linked up with the Institute of Sport. Didn’t happen but in 2018 we got a dud com games instead.

That mob from Hong Kong who wanted to cancel Australia Day owns this place. That was a bad move, woke bunch of wankers!😅😅😅😅😅😅

Is that the Hard Ons at 4:39 ??? Also, would like to add- you have created a great video!!! Thanks. Brings back all the memories!

I remember the Fairfield showground concert. High Voltage just released. Blew my young mind. Awesome

Just found your work... Love it!

Such a wonderful venue for me in the 80's I've missed it so much.... later I worked in the area for over 20yrs and it was so depressing to see it in the sate she's in... so want a drink and a good band... and to get drunkly in the stairs ;)

Went there quite a bit to see punk bands-always loved seeing Queen Anne's Revenge there-so close to the stage and the musos. Reminds me so much of my youth now seeing all these videos about every venue i used to go to-and now all gone. Luckily i went to all of them in Sydney at one stage. Live music was everywhere and cheap in the 70's/80's

Pil

👍 how interesting

Used to love going through OTS every week. Pick it up Wednesday and liaise with your bunch of weirdos to plan a weekend of pure rock n roll fun. I was in Surry Hills a couple of years after this edition. So many amazing bands to choose from then.

hehe. Stones split. Still here. Fifty years.

love this! a walk down memory lane...... the stories of many wild nights at Bombay Rock are endless! Remember the VIP elevated lounge, what a laugh!

I can't remember the year but AC/DC played at the town hall in Queenstown on the west coast of Tasmania. I was about 15 from memory so it would've been around 1975.

I miss that mag. None of the internet gig guides are as good.

Wow. so many bands. So much musical art being put out for the public to pick and choose from. It will never be the same again unfortunately. For those that were there you can count yourself lucky to be around at that very vibrant time in Australian musical history

Thank you. I could smell the ink and paper through my computer screen lol, great memories. Take care
