First concert was B52's in 1980 at the Hordern Pavilion, had free tickets, the vocals and songs were amazing, best would be Stevie Ray Vaughan at the Sydney Opera House in 1984, Johnny Winter at Selina's (same era the 80's} and the best sound and tone on stage Jethro Tull at the State Theatre

I performed solo "Waltzing Matilda" with my old 1970 SG thru a 1970 Marshall stack with lots of feedback, and soon after my band "Still Crazy" came on stage to play the rest of the gig, over 800 people, a great night.
Smallest approx 4 people @ Petersham Hotel with a full rock band & PA - the band got $12, now that's $3 bucks each, good thing the PA was supplied for free by the venue, hehe
