 Tim 81 I enjoyed this one as I recall. The hifi bar had a glassed off balcony bar back in the day where you could sit and grab a drink while watching the opening acts. Chemical heart was the only song performed from the upcoming album (new detention) which hadn’t been announced yet at the time. Crowd really embraced the new single which was gaining traction immediately on triple j and had started to get a look in on commercial radio too. All the craziness of an early 2000’s pit with crowd surfers and no shortage of people willing to risk cracking a rib or two. Grinspoon / Dern Rutlidge / The Pictures Aug 03, 2025
 Tim 81 A special show. Chop suey and the album had dropped just a few months prior and were starting to explode. The show sold out but not immediately. The anticipation was immense and I could feel it while waiting in the line to get in… Everyone was absolutely pumped to be seeing this band that had been blowing their minds and blowing up the radio for the last 4 months. The guys from Amen who were also on the Big Day Out line up were there and fans were shouting Hi as they walked past the line to the guest list entrance. Frustratingly, their set wasn’t scheduled to start until 11pm which left everyone in attendance exhausted ahead of the Big Day Out the following morning. Sound was a little dark inside but the pit was insane, setlist relentless and everyone left with a new arsehole torn and a story to tell about seeing System play a club show to just 1500 fans.

 Tim 81 The band stated that this was the biggest headline show of their short career to date with ~6000 tickets sold. Tickets were still available the week of the show but I believe it sold out before the night. Second single crawling had just been released a few weeks prior although the album had been out for a while and already exploded. Crowd was pumped for Sunk loto, chanting for them ahead of their set and even demanding an encore for their support slot 🤣. My enduring memory of Linkin Park’s set was Chester's voice tearing through the mix like a 50 foot razor shredding everything in its path. It resonated through every surface of the building. The crowd was in awe but in hindsight had no idea just how special a show they had experienced. Sunk Loto / Linkin Park / 1200 Techniques Aug 03, 2025

 Tim 81 One for the ages. Show was announced at late notice and very surprisingly considering the previous night at festival hall was undersold. Josh Homme was hanging out on the balcony watching the distillers set and had to venture through the thick crowd down the stairs and past the pit to the backstage door ahead of QOTSA’s set. He’s way too tall to go unnoticed in the crowd at his own show 🤣. Opened with Regular John and played a marathon set covering almost everything from songs for the deaf and huge chunks of the first two records. Lanegan stole the show as he did every time I saw them tour this album. Noticeable tension between Josh & Nick on stage toward the end if the set… Nick didn’t come in for his stripped down bass lick toward the end of no one knows and instead looked at josh with a cheeky grin. Josh gave a look of disgust and came in with the lick on his guitar instead. Nick played a solo gig at the Cherry bar straight afterwards where he opened with an acoustic version of six-shooter and wad accompanied by Mark Lanegan for several tracks including a Spanish rendition of Gonna leave you. Troy and Joey were both there too but Josh was nowhere in sight… Some very telling signs regarding what was about to go down the following week. Queens of the Stone Age Aug 03, 2025

 Tockershow obstructed view - our seats were behind the stage - a bummer in some ways but we got to see Keith Moon from behind play that show and he was passing out on stage and hospitalized...but we saw a great performance in OKC! The Who Aug 03, 2025

 Tim 81 Festival hall doesn’t sound great for many bands but it suited QOTSA’s dark rumbly sound perfectly. Show was massively undersold, potentially because the floor area was all ages and unlicensed. Upper section of the seated area was curtained off and the floor wasn’t jam packed. The Distillers / Queens of the Stone Age Aug 03, 2025
 Tim 81 Abe had to skip a song late in the set to take a shit and they had someone fill in for him. Chino joked that Abe was constantly needing to shit and their new album was going to be called “a thousand shats” 🤣🤣🤣 Deftones Aug 03, 2025
 Tim 81 Loooooooud fucking show! Don’t remember the exact setlist but they opened with Lotion, played almost everything from around the fur and surprisingly only a few tracks from white pony which was their current album at the time. Bored, root and engine no. 9 were also in the set. Deftones Aug 03, 2025

 Tim 81 Loved this show. Got there early to see Karnivool after a recommendation and they didn’t disappoint. Don’t remember the setlist but do remember call to arms being the highlight from the new album and was pumped to hear about 5 Sepultura classics including refuse/resist, arise, roots and propaganda. Soulfly / Hatebreed / Karnivool Aug 03, 2025

 Tunes69 I won a contest from a local radio station - KSHE95. My friend Tim and I met the band before the concert. We also got to sit in on the sound check for the Empire Tour. It was amazing hearing them without an audience. Queensrÿche / Suicidal Tendencies Aug 03, 2025
