Well I have been really lazy this gig was over two months ago. So the review will be very short.
Andrew Morris
Andrew Morris started his set in the alternative rock genre which morphed into folk and then some almost full blown country. Alternative rock tracks like “Let It Roll” made me think of Powderfinger’s earlier stuff with particular reference to his vocal styling. I quite enjoy the alternative rock and folk style music. I didn’t mind some of the country stuff but it got a bit too much country for my liking. However, though this he gave an energetic and refreshing performance which was entertaining and provided a relaxed feel for a smooth transition to Bob Evans. The Zoo lived up to its average technical skill, the mixing was a bit off in a few tracks, but we did manage to avoid and real nasty feedback. (So, I guess it was above average for The Zoo, maybe they are getting better or maybe I have suffered more hearing damage then I would like to admit too.)

Now this is going to test my memory.
Bob Evans
What I can remember of Bob Evans was he saved us from the terrible sound people at The Zoo by providing his own sound guy (as all musicians with any class should do). Also he expressed his love for the Brisbane fans and how supportive the Brisbane fans have been. He also mentioned how he should move to Brisbane not only for the fans but he seemed to imply it would help him with his finances, (well playing to sold out audiences has to be good for the bank roll). Towards the end of the set Bob Evans was attempting one of his earlier songs and was stumbling over the words, and noticed a girl standing towards the front who knew all the words. So like any professional, he admits that he can’t remember the words, so he drags her up on stage to help him out. If my memory serves me well, I think she corrected him 3 times during that one song. It was a fun relaxed gig.
