I must have been 10 yrs old as I walked into "Brashs" ( you aussies will know what i'm talking about), and buying the Man of Colours album in the first year that the "Compact Disc" was released. The hardest part was having to wait til you got home to play it, car cd players hadn't been invented yet. Made it all so much more authentically exciting. So many family members borrowed that cd until the day it came back jumping & skipping during the start of "The Kingdom". A little toothpaste did the trick. What a time, what a group, what an inspiration that kept me playing piano/keys. Thanks Icehouse!

Hi from Sydney. Great comment! I remember Brashes. I wish I'd known the toothpaste trick to save my old cd's. Still listening to this track today.

@devilsadvocate25489 жыл бұрын
It's not just the performance of the band, and especially this song, that was great with this 'moshcam' concert on KZbin. The mixing/sound quality etc of this recording is also IMHO first class. They've captured the feel/vibe/sound etc of a live concert brilliantly and have done the band justice (having seen Icehouse at another venue on this 'tour'). Again this is only my personal opinion!
@steveb85467 жыл бұрын
Went to a concert recently and Iva made a point of saying that they hire the best tech's in the business and book shows a year out to ensure they can get them all. Your opinion is 100% spot on

I so wish I was there in person to see this concert. I was in awe the whole way through with the production being a live gig. The vocals from the young kid were just mind blowing. He was just AMAZING & did it beautifully/justice. The fellow on the sax was brilliant!! All of it was!! My cousin has followed Flowers then Icehouse from the start. I’m 39 now & most people my age no doubt probably wouldn’t listen to them (my husband does like me). But I have enjoyed ever single Flowers & Icebouse song & I think they are one of the best artists Australia has ever seen. Their songs speak to me & move me like music should.
