+Rebecca English You have great genes then - I am so sorry for the loss to your family and that he didn't get to see another generation. He lived life which I hope is of comfort.

j9andphoenix Thank you. I have lots of good memories, he was so funny, always taking the piss at family gatherings and making everyone laugh.

+j9andphoenix I'm pretty sure Jon has a couple of grandchildren, and several of his nephews and sons are also musically talented and in the biz :)

He was really big at this time and for a fair few years after. I saw him so many times I could name the set orders. He was the most energetic performer I have ever seen and his band was so tight they were incredible!

He was just amazing

That is just awesome. Glad this has been saved in the NFSA. I am all for preserving the sound and film of the past. I know you have some Midnight Oil stuff tucked away in there. A release of that would be awesome. Hordern Pavilion gigs of November 1984 spring to mind. Thanks and keep up the good work....
