Mondo Rock - Come Said the Boy (live)

[@nickwall2982]

This song defines the 80’s growing up in Australia

[@queenslanddiva]

Ross Wilson should be a classified national treasure. Mighty Mondos

[@brett174]

Ross Wilson is Australian rock royalty!

[@auntykiki8161]

Have been obsessed with this recently for some reason! 2019!

[@mattmorrismedia]

Same here, loved the original, but this has to be my favourite performance.

[@SB-vh7jn]

same in 2020

[@megcook1829]

I understand why you do the live arrangement is awesome and Ross his vocals are on point and optimum the only thing would be to mike up the guitar more but that's it xx

[@geoffreybreasley9845]

Your obsession is the great Australian talent,Mondo rock

[@dannymiles6503]

Brilliant live performance of their great song. I can remember some of the 80s, not all, as it was pretty wild.

[@greghunt3401]

Absolutely brilliant. Not only one of Australia's best songwriters, but just an amazing and super cool performer. Love the whole band.👍❤️👍

[@MrEllisDFogg]

Ross and the band sang this at Bluesfest 2022 last month ... I did the Liquid Lightshow and I can tell you he sings it ever so much better now as a 74 year old than he did 30 years ago xxx

[@thewrightstuff4489]

My favourite song since I was a kid.... 49 years old now

[@PetaL72]

Me too! Same age!

[@nathancooper1]

Me too same age.

[@PetaL72]

Oh wow! Never seen this before! Thanks for sharing! The Mighty Mondos! What an awesome time it was to be a teenager during the 80’s!

[@francrisp6614]

An 80s classic and a great song Ross looks like he's having as ball

[@benmarshallmusic]

That crowd is going nuts. Love the way the keyboard player works them into a frenzy with his stage antics.

[@Emptyrockpoolfishing]

The lost art of sarcasm👌

[@tompenfold5367]

Fuck yeah Mondo were awesome live! Aussies were so underground back in the day. Everything except ACDC we got to enjoy to ourselves!

[@tonycarpenter-Makzimia]

Better than once in mid 80s they played Shellharbour club and bombed, following the Dugites who were awesome live. Guess they finally got a handle on making these great songs work live :).

[@coincollectorsaustralia6396]

Saw Ross Wilson and the Peaceniks perform at the Pretoria Hotel, Mannum. Still sounded just as good.

[@greyman003]

I Iove this song. Great Aussie music.

[@7TrulyMarion7]

Yes, a rare, and beautiful, treat that's for sure! Watching Ross is always a treat. He's so good. A rare and unique talent. Thanks!

[@michaelmayo9048]

The lead break is down in volume becouse this was taken straight off the sound desk were you listen to the (front of house speakers) PA System with your ears ..it would of be loud infront of the speakers ..he was mixing for the crowd so not for a recording.. headphones are not used to mix live as you got to hear the PA System ...you use headphones to check for a problem on an individual channel ( instrument/ vocal ect)...l was a sound engineer in the 80s ..l was doing lighting when we worked with mondo rock ..mondos lighting guy got glass in his eye the night before did make it to set up so l was in charge of rigging 300 light concert rig ..l had 6 riggers .

[@Lanewaymusic]

Great feed back and it was a rehearsal so it’s exactly what you have said

Great Aussie band

[@davidsullivan9423]

Where has this little Gem been hiding? Mondo's live we're up with the best Aussie acts

[@haydenwittig8877]

Exactly best sound out there dave for this song, slick camera work, maybe the ABC did a promo. It looks like the ABC similar to the oils on the water footage concert in 1985, about that time.

[@aethrya]

Grew up in the '90s in America. Had no idea who this badass band was or that "Australian pub rock" was even a thing until about two weeks ago. This and v.Spy v.Spy are great.

[@michaelmayo9048]

Plenty of good aussie bands in the eighties ..you'll discover them..enjoy

[@freereacher]

A by gone era sadly. there were so many bands touring Australia every week in your local pub. INXS cut their teeth in Aussie pubs along with The Little River Band and AD/DC.

[@michaelmayo9048]

Try.. baby animals.. icehouse..

[@MKSouthernStar]

Midnight Oil will rock ya socks

[@OldAussieAds]

I agree with the bands the others are recommending. Let me add Divinyls, The Screaming Jets, Boom Crash Opera, Noiseworks and The Angels.

[@anncoral]

Great sax sound.

[@fastjegr]

The mighty Mondo Rock

[@stephanieduval8598]

[@megcook1829]

They are so tight as musicians and great outro but Eric's amps needed to be micked up way more would have took to the next level 😊

[@Lanewaymusic]

Correct

[@PetaL72]

YES! A shame we can’t hear it as well by the end.

[@lyndacurran]

Nothing like Eric McCuskers guitar

[@odyssey814]

would have been better if you could hear the good bit

[@Nickanoms88]

If this was St Kilda now you'd have 20+k people

[@markgregory8085]

Always

[@andrewreed1329]

Yamaha dx7 and Roland Jupiter yum...something happened to the guitar solo at the end seems to be mixed out

[@haydenwittig8877]

sounds good regardless of that exception, I must say this sound and video recording is the finest on youtube .

[@danielguirdham3944]

man if you could only hear that guitar from 4.50 onwards

[@Lanewaymusic]

Yes we wish

[@Eschelonistic]

Love this song but was the crowd asleep o.O or perhaps they did not appreciate what this song has become or realised what it would have become....

[@Moon_Mann11]

Ross just doesn’t age. He’s pushing 60 in this if this was filmed in the early 2000s. If you do the math he looked like he was late 20s in the 80s when he was actually in his 40s

[@Lanewaymusic]

1988 Melbourne Show Grounds

[@Moon_Mann11]

@@Lanewaymusic that is great footage for the 80s. Then he’s in his forties looking young in the footage.

[@jakemorrison2104]

Check out the crowd. Not one person looking at, or holding up a fucking cell phone.

[@Austech]

Watching this is just plain cruel with no sound from Eric's guitar. You can very faintly hear it, anyone have the experience to download this and try and amplify it ? Its a bit out of my range of expertise.

[@ajs41]

What year is this? The live performance I mean. I know the original is from 1983/84.

[@Lanewaymusic]

1988 Under the southern cross show at the Melbourne Showgrounds

Eric is a fine guitarist...

[@markwilliams3174]

Damn - the mix lost Eric's climactic guitar solo at the end. Criminal negligence.

[@Lanewaymusic]

Agreed

[@johnh9480]

Yes in the first parts of the song it was at the correct level, whoever mixed it and managed to lose the guitar solo at the end should forever be ashamed.
