personal highlights:
- paul kelly singing "to her door", "how to make gravy" and "leaps and bounds" (with the entire mcg singing along, of course!)
- when crowded house sang "weather with you", the notorious melbourne weather relented briefly and blue skies appeared overhead. they also did "don't dream it's over" and "better be home soon".
- the stadium went completely nuts when hunters and collectors belted out "holy grail", followed by the collective love of "throw your arms around me". aww...
memorable moments:
- the girls on the ground sharing a simultaneous orgasm when jack johnson appeared on stage. im not jealous at all.
- kylie minogue leading 120,000 people in an emotional sing-along of "i still call australia home"
- midnight oil, fronted by a smirking, self-conscious peter garrett, revisiting their signature protest songs, as well as an electric version of the national anthem
not-so-memorable moments:
- sound equipment failure during wolfmother's set
- dickheads shouting "aussie aussie aussie, oi oi oi" during the minute silence
- the mountain of rubbish left behind at the end of the night
the intermittent rain did not stop the crowd from having a great time
magic: blue skies appeared briefly when crowded house sang "weather with you" :D
the disinhibitory effects of vodka: drew and catherine salute the mighty g
