    You're 100% correct on the location - many fond memories. High school reunion was there. First time we ever got turned away from a gig was at Bryants because it was full (the night Cold Chisel was recording Live). The point you missed about the demise of live music venues on the Northern Beaches were the big car parks because they were a property developers dream - same with the Royal Antler at Narrabeen (now town houses and appartments - with a small pub), and the Dee Why Hotel (Glider Room/Jet Club/The Venue) now high rise offices and appartment complex, with a small pub. Unfortunatley Bryants/Manly Vale didn't retain a pub. This is how the Real Estate boom destroyed Australian culture - we lost the abundance of live music venues. Our iconic rock bands penned the songs, played them to us at home, and then played all over the world - people like INXS, AD/DC, Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel, Angels, Richard Clapton, James Rayne, etc exporting anthems to the Australian way of life. To give an anecdote - in 2018 I was in Prague at a speedway event. When the crowd stared arriving the organisers played music over the PA before the official event began. First song was by AC/DC - quite a welcome reminder of home when homesick and on the other side of the world. Next was an INXS song, (then Pearl Jam), then Midnight Oil, then Jet, even a Kylie Monogue tune - by the time the event began, seven of the ten songs played over the PA were Australian (I noted it all down as a reminder of what it is to be Australian). Australian culture has been spread around the world by the rock bands of the 70s and 80s - and that is an indicator of Australian culture - irreverent of pomp and status - everyone at the pub watching a band. That era will never be repeated because the iconic pubs where everyone gathered after a day of surfing, fishing, any sport imaginable, to party and watch a band play their hearts out have all been bulldozed and apartments built on their once enormous car parks. To revive Australian culture we must first revive the live music scene by providing cheap venues for bands to play and people from every strata to access.

      I loved reading this You have articulated it so well. The other reason is the demography 70% of people living in those suburbs where rock
      ruled are not interested in boogie rock. I do love multiculturalism yet their musical tastes are questionable

    I just found your channel and really appreciate your videos. Brings back memories of growing up in Sydney and all the bands we saw back then. I just returned to Sydney after 30 years overseas and am gutted to see all the places gone and no live music to speak of - what a loss! I went to manly Vale Hotel almost every weekend in 79/80. Main memories of the few that remain are of the Angels and Doc Neeson climbing along the top of the speaker boxes. Great days.

    Yep, was my favourite band venue on the Northern Beaches. The Venue (previously The Glider Room) and Narrabeen Sands were all great but I never hear or read about the old Manly Hotel directly across from Manly Wharf, I broke my ankle there dancing drunk at a Troggs gig.

    Thanks for the video. Octoberpus was a legendary annual gig that I went to every year there. Massappeal usually headlined and they were awesome. Mergatroid, Wild men from Borneo, Tumbleweed and other local acts filled the bill. It was always a huge day. Great memories!

    My first pub gig was seeing The Reels supporting Mental as Anything at the Manly Vale. My next gig there (probably the next weekend) was The Divinyls supporting The Angels. I saw many other bands there and then I ended up working with many of the bands that played there in the early 90s when they refurbished it all, firstly playing in the front room then moving to the larger room at the back. I've got a few of those gigs on video. As you said, it sadly didn't last very long after that.

    So many brilliant times at Millers Manly Vale/Bryants. When Thorpie would blow out the sound systems, it wasn't silence, but Billy swearing and yelling at the top of his lungs and everyone in the crowd joining in and cheering. I also remember being there for TWO electrocutions, with the band members being zapped. I forget the name of the bands, but I think one was a Western Australian outfit and there was a bit of a flash and the lead singer/guitarist dropped to the floor and didn't move. The crowd sort of knew there was something really wrong but the rest of the band played on for a short time before realizing all was not well. The dude was knocked around, but made it through. I also remember talking to Jeff Duff from Kush up the near the food window a long way from the stage in between sets. He was painted silver all over and dressed up like a Martian in tights, but he was just groovin' and drinking a schooner of beer and being sociable. The only bad vibes I can recall from there was one particular oaf of a bouncer who shall remain nameless. He was a large tyrant and used to push his weight around a lot, but couldn't start to bring down the vibe of a sensational venue. Thanks Gio; next you've got to say something about 'The Flicks' in Manly, another superb place for Northern Beaches Kids to form their lives correctly.

    Good to see the photo of it - at some time.
    Manly in the 1960s had few venues for live music and its pubs were more of the “drink up” variety. So, if you were unable or unprepared to go to the city for entertainment, then Millers Manly Vale was the place. It was also the time of very different licensing hours for NSW hotels, when the six o’clock closing had only been abolished in February 1954. In its place was closing at 10pm, with the proviso that the hotel could remain open until midnight if it served food.
    I doubt that many stayed on after 10pm at the Millers Manly Vale for the food. The dancing and the live music were always the drawcards for such late night adventures. I went in the 1960s (which don't seem to have been covered in the comments) and stayed late several times. I was more than slightly amazed at what was provided for the patrons to “eat” after 10pm.
    Plates of Jatz crackers, warm (and small) cubes of cheese and lettuce may well have satisfied the licensing definition of “food”, but did not satisfy my stomach. Tellingly, many of those plates seemed subsequently to have been left untouched, when the place closed down shortly before midnight.
    Perhaps everyone knew they had to eat before going for a drink and dance at the Millers Manly Vale in the 1960s.

    Great memories . This was my go to pub in the late 60's and 70's. All in brawls at Billy Thorpe Shows, lining up the Schooners on the verandah wall before closing. Even the Platters played the International Room. I used to drink there in my School uniform late 60's. So many great bands and great times here, a bloody shame that it has been lost to house more old fart whiners. Best ever pub of its time. Thank you for sharing this vid.

    Other venues...Patricks at the Penno pub, Tracks at the Epping pub, the Vicar out at Dural plus the inner city pubs...what a time to be alive. Great music, good times, good friends.

    As a PS. I've just discovered the licence came in 1965 from the de-commissioned Shipwrights Arms in Balmain (I've tried posting with the link to the extract below, but it disappeared
    "Former Shipwrights Arms Hotel: Established in 1844 as the Dolphin Inn, in 1846 the name was changed to the Shipwrights Arms Hotel. The building is situated at the Balmain Ferry Wharf. The hotel was closed in 1965 and the licence was transferred to establish a Millers Hotel at Manly Vale, a suburb of Sydney."

    This is a great series of mini-docos on Sydney's halcyon era of live music which will go down in history as an unsurpassed time in our lives. I actually played the Manly Vale main room a few times in the early 90s which I will always cherish although it was probably well past its 1980s prime and certainly a tragedy to track the hotel's inevitable demise and destruction as you did so well during this video. A venue that came up over a night out last week was the San Miguel at Cammeray which was a bit before my time but my buddy 10 years older than me remembers it well. Maybe a future video on this?

    Saw many, many bands at the Manly Vale. One you forgot was Iggy Pop - with his infamous stage dives into that full on packed, sweating crowd. Fondly remember friend GNS going in numerous tandem dives with Iggy. The regulators shutting it down was all part of a combined Sydney wide effort. Basically the coppers had zero control and this had been going on for many years. So they primarily used fire regulations to progressively shut down that sub-culture venue after venue. Very, very disappointing ending to what was the most amazing era of free expression.

      Where did you get the picture of the carpark/bottlo line to get in? It was for Cold Chisel. I think thats my picture. I took a lot of pictures of all the bands some were published in music and surfing mags! I worked at the Manly Vale and looked after the Green Room back stage so had access to all areas. The licensing Police were a bunch of drunk corrupt bullies in Manly and The Rocks! I was there when they were "inspecting" at Manly Vale and also at a venue in The Rocks! Very disappointing, pay bags of cash and free drinks or get closed down!
      The down stairs bar was called the Red Piano Room that was where INXS were signed up by the agent. They played to 21 people that night who all stood around the bar or back of the room acting non chalant whilst I sat in the front row of seats with a whole bunch of glasses I'd collected!😂

      @@Gioia67 I drove past their last week and said exactly what you said walking on footpath! That was where driveway was! And we used to climb through hole in paling fence to back street to where friends lived. All my mates worked there at some stage from late 70s to 90s.
      I was amazed to hear that bloke at the end call the downstairs bar, The Basement? As that was the name of a very well known venue in the city? Jazz I think?
      Anyhow it all ends up a memory.
      There was a lot going on front of house and at the back!
      INXS came back a couple of times as did Midnight Oil, who were locals but some nights the biggest bands of our era played under dodgy names! And only those in the know would click!
