Festival Hall was, of course, where The Beatles played in June 1964. My sister-in-law went to one of the Wings shows there in 1975, and has given me the programme from the night! My father-in-law saw Bill Haley and the Comets there in the late 1950s. Everyone who came to Brisbane played there - The Stones, The Who, The Monkees, Bruce Springsteen... the list goes on!<br /><br />Sadly, big developer dollars meant that Festival Hall is no longer there - replaced by another multi-storey apartment building and shops. Shame - it was the hub for emerging Brisbane bands. You can't stop progress, I suppose...<br /><br />Thanks for putting all this stuff up about Brisbane - it means a lot to me!<br /><br />Cheers<br />Justin<br />Brisbane, AustraliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267822777045485874.post-40746136167008426442012-11-28T20:52:52.519-05:002012-11-28T20:52:52.519-05:00Don't know if anyone will see it over here, bu...Don't know if anyone will see it over here, but here's a couple of interviews from the Australian tour, I couldn't figure out where they were from. They're also not labeled in any particular way, they were just what I had on my hard drive. There's also an upgrade in sound quality for the Norm Gunston section of the press conference, where you can hear clearly what everyone is saying.
