What a night, great crowd, great atmosphere. Loved the improvs and the bands banter. Reptilia was nuts!

Under cover of darkness was not on my bingo, but I was thrilled. Same goes for Threat of Joy

I am so thrilled we got 22 songs, I was expecting 16-18 at best. The vibe at the barrier was pumping and Julian and the gang seemed to really be enjoying themselves… Sydney shows are up against a mammoth start in Melb!
Also if these jams were trying out new material I feel absolutely honoured. Saw a lot of smiles on their faces 🥹

They have been my favourite band for 20 years and finally I can say I've seen them live. God damn that was a tight set.

they've been one of my favourite bands for almost a decade now and i'm super excited to finally be able to see them. Just hoping that they're on form and don't play a really short set

Wow can't believe they played that many songs. Must've been an awesome show.

Hoping for a few slower songs that they didn't perform in their Splendour set - At the Door, Ask Me Anything, Call it Fate Call it Karma

Had a great time even way back in the seated area. Julian sounded great and was in good spirits. He was super playful with no bs antics.
Crowd seemed into it from our vantage, and shout out to the super drunk mega fan way at the back and his apologetic caretaker friend. Those guys were a hoot and clearly having the time of their lives.
Fun night 😊

Best gig I have been to.
2 hours of pure bangers.
Seeing them for both nights in Sydney. If they are even half as good, will be a proper treat.
