Iggy & The Stooges in Adelaide (made it onto the stage and Iggy held the mic for me to sing the last line of 'Funhouse'. Then the whole band were on my flight back to Melbourne the next day- got a photo with Iggy who was a lovely guy!)
Neil Young & Crazy Horse @ 3 different venues in Melbourne.
Wilco, 2 nights at Hamer Hall
Bob Dylan @ Le Haigh university, Bethlehem Pensylvania
Willie Nelson @ New Orleans Jazz Fest
Luke Winslow King @ 3 Muses, NO
You Am I, Forum, Melbourne.
Despite all of my travelling, I didn't manage to get to any Stones shows because they announced them so close to tour's start I couldn't change plans.
However I will make up for that with 5 Stones shows here in Australia next year!!

I love You Am I. Criminally overlooked band in the rest of the world.They have so many truly great songs. I have had the chance to chat with Tim Rogers a few times @ bar shows in Seattle. He even played a request for me! I got to see them once in Melbourne at Big Day Out on my 40th birthday in 2001. A splendid way to spend that day! Melbourne is my favorite city in the world that I've been to. I also saw AC/DC on that trip in a smaller venue in Sydney. It was a very good trip musically!

Great to hear you saw some awesome music here in Australia!
Tim is a good guy. The shows You Am I did this year they played the albums 'Hourly, Daily' and 'Hi Fi Way' in full, back to back, with an encore of songs of their first few releases. It was a killer show.
It's a shame they never took off in the rest of the world!

Big Day Out is a cool festival. I liked how they had 2 main stages, so it was constant with no long breaks. + all of the secondary stages. You Am I was on one of those. The first time I saw You Am I was opening for Soundgarden, here in Seattle. That show was released as a bonus disc on 1 of the cds & was called "Someone Else's Gig" I think. I have it & it truly rocks. They were 3rd bill & battling a lack of attention but played ferocious. The next night they played a small bar with no one there but a lot of the big players on the Seattle scene. That show was mindblowing. I keep up with them via import still. I like a lot of Australia/New Zealand music. Seems rock is still alive down there. Although he doesn't live there anymore, 1 of the best shows I saw last year was Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. Nick seemed recharged perhaps because of the Grinderman project. I've got tickets to see him again in July. Also have tickets to see Neil Finn in March. Neil is a long time favorite dating back to Split Enz for me. Seattle seems to be a stronghold for him & he always does great shows here & have seen Eddie Vedder sit in with him a few times. Have met him also. He's not doing many US dates this time. Looks cool, as he is going to have both of his sons & his wife playing with him. Such a great songwriter. Hope to visit Australia again sometime. Really liked it down there. Was lucky enough to spend a month on the trip I did take. Cheers & happy new year! PS: Also a pretty huge Midnight Oil fan. Would love to see them get back together!

Will SOMEONE please explain why it was disrespectful of the Boston crowd to cheer Keith singing his part in " Memory Motel", and why someone felt the Boston crowd was rude? I was at both Boston shows and the folks I met were extremely friendly, very into the shows, very knowledgeable about Stones' History, and because I was on my own, they were especially kind. Plus these 2 shows were exceptional: first we got Mick Taylor playing " SWAY", and then on the second night, "Memory Motel" was simply perfect...to see Mick and Keith singing TOGETHER was something extremely rare, as you all know. It was as close as we're going to get to the Glimmer Twins singing together!
Someone has it in for Boston for no good reason, it appears.

Rocknjive, it must be you did not luck out where you sat...Boston has always been one of the friendliest cities in the USA. ( not my opinion, just from what I've read ). I think you should give Boston another shot....the Stones LOVE Boston, even played the hallowed Fenway Park!

If you ever go mickschix let me know what you think. Again I'll never go back. I love all cities big and small but not this one.
