Show Notes
This week Rob is joined by guest presenter Simon. The theme revolves around films of concerts and music festivals. Starting off is The Cure from their concert film The Cure In Orange featuring their big hit Close To Me. Probably the most lauded concert film was The Band’s: The Last Waltz. A highlight was their version of The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. The film of the famous pop festival Woodstock showcased Neil Young’s introduction into Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young for their epic Suite :Judy Blue Eyes. The Aussie answer to Woodstock was the Sunbury Pop Festival in the early seventies. Very few female singers took part. One exception was Aussie troubadour Margaret Roadknight with her sardonic Girls In Our Town. Finally Elvis made a comeback film for television in 1968 which featured many of his hits including One Night.

Pop songs from the ANTIPODES (Australia and New Zealand) span decades of iconic chart toppers, indie pop gems and alternative rock. This week’s episode includes the four time grammy winner Olivia Newton John with Xanadu, New Zealand’s art pop group Split Enz with their melodic I Hope I Never. Allison McCallum’s Superman and Max Merritt and the Meteors’ Western Union Man are also great artists from across the Tasman. Mental as Anything’s debut song The Nips are Getting Bigger, Kamahl’s The Sounds of Goodbye along with the Go Betweens and Christie Allen serve as Australian representatives.
In this program our podcaster, Penn, takes centre stage and chooses songs they have some connection with. Many songs are associated with Penn growing up and family such as Father And Son, Cats In The Cradle and from his infancy Cradle Of Love. Penn tells stories of sadness and joy and yearning for a simpler time like Mary Hopkin in Those Were The Days.
