More Than This
Great show, and given Robynn was dehydrated and had just come off a 40 hour flight from Nashville, I wonder at his stamina for doing a two hour show with no breaks .

There was, unlike last years show here, virtually no talking by anyone throughout ( sadly , there was only a crowd of 40 max ) .

It was so relaxed I was caught out as Robyn came onstage first, no set by Emma, so had to retreat to the toilet to get pics active, thus missed most of ‘Tonight “ but you do get the sound of the toilet door opening on the tape, so thats a highlight.

There was a demon in Robyn’s guitar early on, so there are some weird noises on occasions for about the first half hour, mostly between songs .

There is some hilarious banter about Robyn and Australian customs officials which takes up a 5 minute section , was well as an extended conversation about the Beatles tour of oz in the 1960s which features my gig buddy Ian which is also very entertaining .

Unfortunately my mics are acting up when I move my arms to applaud, so there may be a few tiny clunks in there I have not removed, theres some air conditioning hum in the background but otherwise it sounds pretty good.

Front of soundboard, 2 metres from front slightly off centre.
