Long Way to the Top

Long Way to the Flop What a disappointment! I was there at the concert and had the VHS tapes. Now I have just spent $30 to get half what I thought I was going to get. Where's Stevie Wright, Judy Stone, Max Merritt etc. This was great to watch on ABC TV . it featured much of the 80's music that I grew up with. This has not been uploaded to iView... nor can i see it within this listing of the content on these DVD's.. WHERE IS THE REST OF THE SHOW??? I remember watching the great ABC doco years ago and then buying it on VHS tapes. It was an inspiring miture of interviews, narration and the music. Sadly I don't think this set is the same thing.

If you grew up in Australia in the 60's & 70's this concert is for you. We had so much great home grown talent, it just took 40 years for everyone to wake up to that. The only tragedy is that not everyone in the Australian Entertainment Industry could be included in this concert. As it was the original concert went for 4 hours and I enjoyed every minute of it. But there had to be a limit and what we have here is some of the cream of Australian talent. There are a couple of standouts for me. One being Normie Rowe who always delivers 100% of himself to every audience he plays to. I have seen him live in front of small audiences (300) and here in front of 15,000 and every time he makes his audience feel a part of the show no matter how big or small. The other highlight for me was Russell Morris, just a great entertainer and epitomises the music industry of late 60's in Australia. Col Joye brings a lot of emotion to the big screen with his rendition of Rock & Roll Heaven covering off those who have left us in the last 40 years. There are many other great spots in this concert but for mine it is simply great entertainment.
