I was privileged enough to be at this gig, side of stage. A good friend works at the J's, he recorded this. At the time I was 46, and I'm a trucker. Got to hang in the broadcast truck before driving it back to ABC at Ultimo. I have to say that performance blew me away.

Drapht should join the Hoods and just make a mega group! Also, love the added horns. Still think a collab with Cat Empire and Hoods would be one of the best things ever. Turn up the girls mic!

[@blairterceira9123]

I’m Canadian so I don’t have the best ear for a live Australia accent, but I think this is Seth Sentry’s verse(any Aussies that can catch anything I missed can correct me): I only rock house when I’m bored as hell And I got a dope beat and a quarter ounce A nice pair of these tortoise shell glasses And I’m turnin’ up my motherfuckin walkman now I just wanna walk around Find other MC’s and sort em out Yo Last time I did man I almost drown Cause it’s so watered down I should’ve brought a towel I feel like Bobby Fischer But instead I play lots of twister Ask your girl when you lock the kids up At school But I ain’t ever lost against her I didn’t get what I want for Christmas All I wanted was a Cosby sweater Cause I still only ever rock hand me downs And all I got is an older sister

[@Activemeasures2023]

I'd say it's lost to the ether. JJJ probs just took a stereo line out off the desk. The soundman had his work cut out with so many vox mics on stage and fading between them. I doubt it was rehearsed, so it was a flipping shellgame.

[@paddy657]

+@TweetBrettMac It's only really Hilltop that have history with Bliss n Eso. Horrorshow, Seth Sentry and Drapht have all toured and recorded tracks with BEI before (Circus Under the Stars / Reservoir Dogs). Eso even tagged Solo (Horrorshow) in Rappertag back in the day, which gained them some more exposure. If triple j scheduled acts any where from a year to six months before this performance, Bliss n Eso may well have been overlooked due to a publicity issue with Eso. triple j dropped their play time for a week or two after Eso seemingly innocently endorsed domestic violence. He apologised for his error and they returned to air, but they were probably hesitant due to a big uproar from the public on the issue. This is why they probably didn't perform at the 40th. Hilltop and Bliss n Eso would likely never perform together though, regardless of if both acts were present.
