Very good set, bit short though (~40 mins)

Pretty decent crowd there for that early in the morning, felt like walking onto the set of home & away with all the aussie flags and jerseys, made for a great atmosphere - almost like a hometown gig.

They mainly played stuff from the Hard Road album, plus a few older ones (including The Nosebleed Section which was excellent)

To top it all off, I just had a short stroll to the pyramid after to catch Seasick Steve afterwards, so got two top class performances in by lunchtime.

What stuff have you been listening too? Id highly recommend The Hard Road Restrung - they re-recorded the album with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra.

Just found a short video from the set, not great sound quality:

Yeh they got booted off the Other stage but played on the JPS the next day - they were terrific! Everyone seemed really into it and it was a pleasure to be part of the crowd. Would be great if they're back again this year.
