Bernard Fanning

At about 6:30pm tonight, Raquel and I made our way down to the Thebby Theatre to see Bernard Fanning in concert. Whist waiting in the line to get into the theatre, we saw support group 'The Panics' walking down the Henley Beach Road sidewalk, looking like they had just stepped out of an early eighties rock and roll movie. Once inside, we were treated to a few solo songs from Andrew Morris (Moz) (who is also the talanted guitarist in Bernard Fanning's band), and of course a set from The Panics. By 9pm The crowd erupted in screams and whistles as the very casual Bernard Fanning waltzed out onto the stage and opened and awesome hour and a half of music with 'Hope and Validation', 'Thrill is Gone' and 'Believe'. After hearing most of the songs from the Tea and Sympathy album and being impressed with a few more songs that didnt make it onto the album, Fanning closed his concert with 'Yesterday's Gone'. On the way home, Raquel, Ebony and Annabelle, all agreed that the concert version of all of the songs was much better than on the album. We all enjoyed the concert and I have to thank Raquel for being the kindest person ever and taking me along with her. Thanks Raquel. Hope to see MHS people this Saturday... and catch up everyone else very very soon!
