Clipsal 500: Adelaide

[Kacky]

The boys are playing Clipsal again.

March 19th, 2009. I'm guessing Glennifer will be attending, anyone else? :)

[Big J.G]

Will the show be recorded? Much like where Living Underground was from.

[Kacky]

I believe that Glenn recorded the last Clipsal, so that's how we got LU.

[Deadcat Kaye]

HA
I'm probably going to this for the actual V8s...how epic!:D

[Kacky]

Oh please, take me with you. :)

[All_torn_down16]

Definitely going if I can, so glad the ticket price is very low! This news has made my day :D

[NowhereTown]

i will be attending.... i cant miss this perfect oppurtunity to see the boys!

too bad that ill have to stand through potbelliez and the butterfly effect... but gyroscope should be decent

[The Dying Start]

I should be going, but Thursday Night is a bit of a crock. The boss already owe me a few days off, so we should be right.

[Deadcat Kaye]

Okay so this is on the thursday night yah??

If ya get Gen Admin tickets does that mean you get to see the gig aswell?

[The Dying Start]

Yes, that's correct.

[Deadcat Kaye]

That's awesome but sucks...Thursday is just practise round...BORING
but it's the cheapest.

Woot...Goin to adelaide :p
MEL, WANNA COME???

[The Dying Start]

Just spend all day in the paddock looking at random chrome then.

[All_torn_down16]

Yay, more of us are going! I got my ticket the other day, even though my dad said it doesn't sell out quickly, but I wanted to be sure I'd get to this :)

Hey Amy, been to Adelaide before?

[Deadcat Kaye]

Nein, never been to adelaide.. That's why i'm going in particular ..to see adelaide XD

I must talk with mine father and see whether he was still planning on going (for the V8s) :D

Either way i'm definantly going :D

[All_torn_down16]

Finally, someone wants to see our beautiful city haha!

I know it's far away and all, but since I went with you and the others to the St. Kilda Fest, well I'm happy to show you round here/maybe meet up for the gig? :) Up to you though.

[fordchick888]

YES!!! I already have tickets for the V8s but am pretty excited that they are playing! Saw them at Clipsal in 05, can't wait for this now!

[Deadcat Kaye]

Alright, my dad is going but on the saturday and sunday :cool:
which means i'm right to get home (woot)

So is anyone going from melbs to the gig on thursday night then??

[The Dying Start]

I'm attempting to make plans for this to be recorded in a similar fashion to the 2005 concert. Wish me luck, chumps.

[mattheal]

Good Luck.....


can i ask what method you use to record?

[Colezy]

Ahhh, awesome Glenn :)

Matt - from memory it was just done on a digi cam in movie mode. Except that the video was shite, so Glenn kindly uploaded the audio.
I could be wrong though.

[mattheal]

hmm cos im considering doing somthing similar for trackside, but the methods ive tested so far dont come out good at all, ie phone voice recorder failed the loud stereo test

[Neo]

i find that a cassette recorder taped to the inside of the leg under the pants works alrigt ;)

[Shadow]

My dad uses a Mini-Disc player / recorder to record audio when he goes to shows, and it comes out BEAUTIFULLY. It's really quite amazing. I can't remember what I used to record the first Festival Hall show on the State Of Emergency tour - it didn't come out terrific, but it's listenable. ...and just after Save The Day, you can hear two idiots yelling at each other.

[mattheal]

well i just tried my old mp3 player in voice record and it is quite listenable though this is just at the max volume my stereo puts out, which is nothing compared to a fulll on TLE gig, but its promising :D

[Kacky]

Glennbo, even though the quality is shit from the '05 video, can I still have a lookie-see? :)

And it would kick serious arse if you could record Clipsal again. Canadian love for you. X

[The Dying Start]

The Previ-arse recording was shot with a standard Handi-cam from the back of the crowd base. Since it's so far away from the stacks the sound came out rather well, very little distortion...at least as a result of volume anyway. I was on the barrier, but it was my mates camera, and he was there all day for the cars not the music so i just let him stand up the back and do the deed.

I might rip a bit of the 05 DVD for you Chels, but i'm busier than a one armed bricklayer in Baghdad at the moment, so it might be a few years coming!

I'd love to do some proper bootlegs where the recording device isn't as effected by high volumes, but i don't really have the money or time to invest in working it out.

[Quakin Jake]

I went to one of the clipsal gigs last year when You Am I played, had they not played it would've easily been the worst experience of my life. Eating shit > Clipsal 500

[The Dying Start]

So I'll see you in March babe?

[Kacky]

Hey Glenn, '05 videos for the Canadian?

Love,
Chelsea

[Big J.G]

So...recordage for this one too?

[The Dying Start]

Hey Glenn, '05 videos for the Canadian?

Love,
Chelsea

Patience, mon amour.

So...recordage for this one too?

I'm attempting to make plans for this to be recorded in a similar fashion to the 2005 concert. Wish me luck, chumps.

[Kacky]

Thanks deary!

[NowhereTown]

went to buy my ticket for this yesterday but didnt cos the line was huge for kings of leon or whatever that went on sale yseterday

[May]

Patience, mon amour.
The dad jokes, the morning sickness, the pet names...it's allllll beginning to make sense. Happy for you kids. :D Does Carla know?

[The Dying Start]

No.

But internet babies are fun!

[NowhereTown]

i gots my tickets.... had to wait about 45 minutes in line for two old ladys to buy there phantom of the opera tickets.... they just stood there yapping and deciding which seats they wanted.... bloody useless

[The Dying Start]

It's an important decision to make!

[NowhereTown]

what time does the concert usually start?

[The Dying Start]

Probably about 8:00. Sometimes it's earlier depending when the on track guff finishes.

[Belinda]

So happy to see some farmiliar faces going. And it's a Thursday night too, sounds a good night for a TLE show!

[The Dying Start]

It's not when you have to travel from Whyalla! And you have to work for a living!

But anything for TLE.

[Belinda]

Oh that is hard. Well it's always worth. I think it's cool that you travel all that way. No doubt I'll see you there.

And no doubt I'll be with Jarred.

[Colezy]

I am considering going to this!

I will be back in Melbourne the weekend before and the week of this, so why not have a few days extra away from work and make it over to Adelaide! Depends what I get sorted out with Amy...if that doesn't go to plan, then I'm going to try and make it over by myself anyway :)

[All_torn_down16]

You should definitely come Nicole, I want to meet you in person :)

[Kacky]

Oh Ellen, take me with you. Sponsor me as an exchange student. ;)

[All_torn_down16]

Oh darn, you should have told me earlier, then you could have applied as an international student at the university!

Use your money to come back here instead of Europe?!

[Kacky]

Aw, DARN. That would have been sweet!

[All_torn_down16]

Most Adelaide schools do exchanges so that's always an option ;)

[Kacky]

We can be study buddies!

[All_torn_down16]

If you did Nursing with me! Otherwise I could help you if you went to a school and took subjects which I did haha :D

[Kacky]

Not nursing. My mom is one. :p

[All_torn_down16]

I have a better idea to get you to this gig, train you to be a driver in the Clipsal 500!

[The Dying Start]

I am considering going to this!

Oh man, if you come i will totally cum!

[Colezy]

Oh dear! I don't even know what to say to that! :p

[The Dying Start]

"okaaaay, just not near my face..." ???

[Kacky]

What about if both Nicole and I show up? ;)

[mattheal]

All hell will break loose

[The Dying Start]

My passions know no bounds!

[NowhereTown]

so do you think we will get a decent set at this gig, considering that its pretty much our part of the RTA tour?

be nice if they chuck in afew lesser know songs and just not the hits

[All_torn_down16]

I REALLY do hope they consider this gig to be part of the tour and therefore play a setlist like the one's which will appear on it. C'mon TLE, you've gotta do that for us :).

[The Dying Start]

I'll even get my tits out.

[NowhereTown]

i hope it is a decent one. should learn hacker skills and change their set

[Big J.G]

Well last Clipsal they were at, they played...NEW SONGS :O

So it is possible.

[Colezy]

Just type up your own and tell security that it 'blew away and needs to be taped on the stage again' :p

[Colezy]

Well last Clipsal they were at, they played...NEW SONGS :O

So it is possible.
That's cos they had an album on the way.

[Big J.G]

I know that.

But they weren't exactly playing hit singles werent they? They had obscurity. Which is what a big TLE fan wants.

[Deadcat Kaye]

It's the festival type enviroment, they will play their hits.
the most out-of-hits song you'll get is probably loaded gun.

It's not as thouhh they'ld play sum of us at a gig like that

[All_torn_down16]

Just type up your own and tell security that it 'blew away and needs to be taped on the stage again' :p

Haha, if you only did one, then only one of the boys would get it and they'd start playing completely different songs to the others. That would be hilarious! :laugh:

[The Dying Start]

Three different setlists...ahoy!

[shaneo231]

anyone know what time they will be on stage as i don't finish uni till 8:30 that night and i really want to see the boys live. i gessing that it won't be till late because they are the headline act and their are 4 other bands playing before them

[Big J.G]

It's the festival type enviroment, they will play their hits.
the most out-of-hits song you'll get is probably loaded gun.

It's not as thouhh they'ld play sum of us at a gig like that

Moment In The Sun wasn't exactly a hit.

But I'd say they'll play some obscurity. Not exactly songs you never heard before, but some old favourites. Such as End of the World and Carry Me Home.

[The Dying Start]

anyone know what time they will be on stage as i don't finish uni till 8:30 that night and i really want to see the boys live. i gessing that it won't be till late because they are the headline act and their are 4 other bands playing before them

I think you'll be right. I don't know for sure, but even though it's a weeknight, i reckon they'll be after 9:30 given the length of the lineup.

[All_torn_down16]

Yeah, 9:30 sounds about right, probably couldn't be much earlier than that.

Does anyone know what time you'd actually be 'allowed' into where the gig is? Or is it just open all day (even for soundcheck haha)?

[The Dying Start]

It's open all day. You could stand there like a burke for 8 hours if you so wish.

[All_torn_down16]

Rightio, do you reckon the bands will come out to do soundchecks or will it just be techs running through it for them?

[The Dying Start]

Bands usually do it, well they did last time.

[All_torn_down16]

Awesome! Any ideas on what time TLE would be doing their soundcheck then (comparing to last time)? Reckon you'll watch it or just go to the gig? It's only 2 weeks away now :).

[The Dying Start]

I'll probably be there...dunno about soundcheck...i might be late getting to the track.

[All_torn_down16]

Okay, I think I'll try and get there in the day and see what's happening, may as well since it's an all day ticket anyway. Hope the weather will be nice, should be way better than BDO at least :laugh:!

[The Dying Start]

Darn straight. I dunno when i'll be getting there...hopefully sometime in the arvo.

[All_torn_down16]

Yay, it's tomorrow :D. Might see some of you who are going in there, should be a great day/gig!

[Kacky]

Haha, I just called Belinda about it. I obviously thought it was "tomorrow" there. St00pid Canadian.

[All_torn_down16]

Nah Chelsea, no point in blaming yourself, blame the timezones instead ;)!

[Kacky]

I used to have the time differences/conversions down pat! Not anymore. :p

[The Dying Start]

It's today now! I'm meeting some peeps in the arvo and wandering down to the track.

The bad news is that there has been some problems with the camera, and there might not be recordage. But fingers crossed we can sort it out.

Anyone who sees me should say hi and have a photo with me because i'm awesome. (And hot).

[Colezy]

Find a short brown haired girl with glasses and pretend it's me and ask to have a photo with her.

[The Dying Start]

I'll just see if i can find someone willing to show me their bra!

[Colezy]

ha, yeah there's that too :P

[The Dying Start]

...which is my usual plan of attack when i go out anyway... :p

[The Dying Start]

God that was good!

Although I'm most unimpressed with Christopher (or maybe the journalist) because the paper had a brief chat with Chris and he promised some unusual song choices and perhaps a special guest. Perhaps he was talking about the main crux of the new tour (good luck to you all if he was!)

We got a stonkin great set which was pretty much on par with those other recent ones. We got Hey (Hey) Disbeliever instead of Make The Call, which was good. The breakdown in the middle turned into a chorus of Billy Thorpe's "Most People I Know Think That I'm Crazy".

Of course what you want to know is whether recordage was possible...yes. Yes it was!

I'll be getting the tape next weekend, and then i'll do my best to get the mp3's up soom there after. I haven't viewed it yet so i dunno what the quality was like compared to 2005. It was a bit windy last night so there might be a few lulls in the sound. And plenty of bogans talking and shit.

Wew! I'm almost content!

[Shadow]

We got Hey (Hey) Disbeliever instead of Make The Call, which was good. The breakdown in the middle turned into a chorus of Billy Thorpe's "Most People I Know Think That I'm Crazy".
Wow - Hey Hey Disbeliever, wooooooo! Sounds awesome. I hope they play it on the tour. :wub:

[Belinda]

I asked Chris to play Hey Hey Disbeliever last time they were here, and he said he would at Clipsal. So happy I got to hear it.

The crowd though was horrible.
It was good to see Ellen again, didn't really see any other farmilar faces. Was with Jarred all day which was great fun.

Next show, Melbourne.

I laughed at Butterfly Effect being cut off.

[Kacky]

Ellen is a sweetie! Where's her review?

And Glenn, yay for recordage!

[NowhereTown]

to be honest, that was one of the best gigs i have been to so far, apart from all the drunk bogans in the crowd that ruined the night.

but the set was sweet, and like glenn mentioned, the "most people i know think that im crazy" breakdown was frekin' awesome.

played alot of songs from the new album, and so classics.

i just wish their set could have gone alot longer.

then waited around til about 11.55 to meet to boys, was just me, belinda and afew friends, so they stopped the torago and hopped out for some photos etc.

was a bloody awesome night, can just imagine how good the RTA shows are gonna be

[All_torn_down16]

Aw, thanks Chelsea! Here's my review (I've been at Uni all day so that's why it wasn't here yet). And to Belinda, it was cool to see you again too! And great to meet Jarrad as well. :)

So I got there middle of the day and it was a long afternoon, that's for sure. But eventually the gig did start. For the first few bands the crowd wasn't too violent but by the time it got to Gyroscope it was pretty horrible (I agree with Belinda there). Honestly, there were so many people (and that's an understatement) and everyone was a) standing and b) packed in. But that was actually really great for TLE because when the lights on the audience went on, it would have looked really specky for them. I'll try and remember the whole setlist (no particular order except the first 3 and encore):

Raise The Alarm
Prisoner Of Society
Hey Hey Disbeliever
Who's Gonna Save Us?
Roll On
How Do We Know?
Wake Up
Moment In The Sun
Loaded Gun
White Noise
Second Solution
All Torn Down
-------
West End Riot

And somewhere there was the Billy Thorpe song which came out of the blue! So they played absolutely fantastic of course and I'm really glad so many people were singing along/getting into it. Chris said a great lame joke! Something along the lines of: "I wanted to tell you all a lame joke but I didn't know if you'd have any fuel left in your tanks!" :laugh: Anyway, it will be fantastic if Glenn can get the audio up. Hope that all makes sense because I'm tired!

Edit: There will be Fasterlouder and Triple M pics up of the gig on the net if anyone's interested (only reason I know is because they took lots of pics of us).

[NowhereTown]

oh, also forgot to mention that when we talked to chris afterwards, he said he wasnt expecting so many people to be there

[The Dying Start]

It was a pretty packed oval actually.

[Colezy]

We got a stonkin great set which was pretty much on par with those other recent ones. We got Hey (Hey) Disbeliever instead of Make The Call, which was good. The breakdown in the middle turned into a chorus of Billy Thorpe's "Most People I Know Think That I'm Crazy".
:woot:

Of course what you want to know is whether recordage was possible...yes. Yes it was!

Awesome :D

Chris said a great lame joke! Something along the lines of: "I wanted to tell you all a lame joke but I didn't know if you'd have any fuel left in your tanks!" :laugh:
Ha, a true Chris joke!


Glad to hear that you all had a great time!

[Deadcat Kaye]

no How Do We Know??:blink:

[The Dying Start]

Yes, we got HDWK.

[All_torn_down16]

Whoops, I knew I forgot at least one song! But I can't believe of all of them I forgot HDWK? Haha...I'll add it to the list.

[The Dying Start]

Too much White Noise album material, easy to drop one!

[mattheal]

Cant wait to hear some new live stuff :)

[The Dying Start]

Splitting the mp3 tonight, hopefully!

[mattheal]

Awesometastic news Glenn :D

[Colezy]

Cheers Glenn!

[Kacky]

Thanks Glenn!

[Habibster]

Good stuff Glenn.

[The Dying Start]

I ripped it, but the left channel drops in and out and it's quite hard to listen to. Other than that the quality is on par with the previous Clipsal rip.

I'm gonna see if i can get the camera itself, thus cutting out the dreaded VHS...hopefully that'll fix my sound woes!

[Kacky]

Good work!

[NowhereTown]

any more news on the recordage glenn?

[Kacky]

Hey Glennyboy, when are we going to be able to get our hands on the audio?

[The Dying Start]

My apologies for my false promises people.

23rdPrecinct is in a state of flux at the moment. Well, I'm in a State, and I can't be fluxed to be perfectly honest. It's been far too long between redesigns, but i'm also flat out at work, so it's all kinda muddled, but i might see if i can get them hosted somehow for the meantime.
