Written on the way home

What people wrote about nights here

  • A guest 100% for The Beach Boys · Sun, 29 Nov 1992

    We went to the concert having been a big fan of the Beach Boys since we were kids. The weather had begun to be threatening with high humidity and thunderstorms.
    Magnificent Seven from Perth was their support act and they were just awesome playing county rock that was so polished and clean.
    The Beach Boys came out and told everyone they’re not stopping if it rains.
    John Stamos was their featured drummer and he would have been in his peak of his TV career.
    From memory they had a big blow up hot rod up on top of their stage.
    I think Brian introduced Be True to Your School with a lot of passion about how great your school could be. I remember thinking how different our culture is as most of us Aussies couldn't care less about our schools and not much about the message in the song.
    When everyone was leaving I remember the amazing happy vibe that was in the crowd with everyone saying how awesome the concert was and how much they enjoyed it.
    The best concert I’ve been to in my life.
