I think it was Guns N Roses, Newcastle City Hall, 1987. There was a chap in the seat in front of me with a very square head and no neck, who kept punching the air in a lame way. I found him infuriating, so I can't remember much about the gig.

I agree somewhat, in so far as I hate festivals and would never go to another one, even if Jesus and some Aliens were headlining the bill.

I think it was the Sunbury Festival, just outside Melbourne in 1972, starring Billy Thorpe & the Aztecs, Max Merritt and the Meteors, Chain and Wild Cherries. However, I was stoned out of my fucking mind, and, at various stages, naked.
Nurse, where the fuck's my cardigan?
And my gin!

Infuriating would be an excellent name for a modern band.
