- After a couple of pandemic postponements, the Hoodoo Gurus finally hit the stage at the Hordern Pavilion for their 40th Anniversary Tour. I’d been waiting even longer, many years to finally see them live. It was a great set of old and new. Twenty three songs in all, every one a gem.

Dave Faulkner. What a voice !!
He was in fine form. A great night all round.
@@Peter_LiveMusic As he was in Auckland in March this year, energy from start to finish!
Such an awesome awesome band. Love em.
After 40 years, they are still going strong. Yes, a great band.
They are so good! Fantastic!!
And now another tour to look forward to here in Australia.
Amazing!!! Congratulations from Brasil!!!
Well worth seeing if they're anywhere near you when they visit Brazil.
Me too! Brasil!!!!
Mars Needs Guitars is one of my favorite albums. Great songwriting and production. Still sound great today!
Yes, a great album. Hoodoo Gurus have written some brilliant songs over the years. The new album isn't a disappointment either. Thanks for commenting.
Yeah, I've been putting that album on for 4 decades now, and it still sounds amazingly fresh.
I was at this gig wiv a couple of mates I have known for over 40 years. What a blast - the Gurus sound as good as ever and the support bands were brilliant as well.
I last saw the gurus at Avalon RSL circa 1985, missed my lift and had to walk home to Bayview (took all night).
Watch the bit where Dave lists the venues they have played in Sydney. I said to my friend sitting up the back 'what about Avalon' and then straight away he lists Avalon - she looked astonished and goes 'he heard you' Ha ha I must have a loud voice.
They certainly did sound great. I'm always a little nervous these days about seeing my favourite bands from my distant past - time is sometimes not kind. But I had nothing to worry about on this night. I thought, being the '40th anniversary' tour, I'd include some of their reminiscing between songs. After all there's more to a concert than just the songs. It's a change to get to know the band a little better. Thanks for sharing your memories of the night.
@@Peter_LiveMusic Thanks mate, loves your work.
Heads up - Sunnyboys at Dee Why RSL 22 Jan 23 if you're into them. We're all going - saw them a couple of months ago with my daughter at Marrackville and that was brilliant as well. Nothing like growing old disgracefully.......
Cheers from Kimbal
Sorry, that's 20 Jan 23. Senior moment
@@kimbaldunsmore4633 Thanks for the heads up. I love the Sunnyboys and thought seriously about seeing them. Unfortunately none of the dates suit. Have a great time !!!
@@Peter_LiveMusic That's shame you can't go but sure we'll catch up one of these days!!!!
Crank !!!!!!!!!
This might seem pessimistic, but I feel that Mars really needs an atmosphere capable of supporting life first. THEN, guitars should be introduced.
My favorite album and Imo their best material is Mars Needs Guitars.
they could play that entire record cover to cover like when I saw them mid 80s in New Orleans. Every single song is strong
Yes, that's a great album. I hummed and harred about seeing their upcoming 'Stoneage Romeos' tour but decided I didn't want to see that album live in its entirety. There are so many other great songs I'd like to hear instead. It wasn't an easy decision.
Wellcome back to Brasil!
Great. Saw them in Adelaide a few days after. The sound in the room was muddy and horrible so it’s nice to see this and appreciate what they could have sounded like.
Sorry to hear about the poor quality sound for you. I've learnt that sound quality varies greatly depending upon where you are in the room. Generally, down the front where the view is great results in lousy sound. A couple of nights after this, I went to see Goanna. I was excited because I'd scored myself a front row seat. But it turned out to be a real disappointment with limited view and atrocious sound - so bad I had difficulty understanding Shane Howard's between songs talking. Anyway, the Hoodoo Gurus sounded terrific where I was sitting at the Hordern. In fact, they sounded much better than my cheap recording device managed to capture. Thanks for commenting.
@@Peter_LiveMusic I thought the sound at the Hordern was pretty good wherever you were (maybe the way the venue is designed). We were up the front, up the back and in the middle at different times. Obviously right at the front is not good for your hearing though, but hey I'm 57 years old with industrial deafness!!
@@kimbaldunsmore4633 Glad to hear you found the sound good throughout the venue (which is how it should be). When I said 'down the front', I meant right up against the stage, as close as you can get. You are not in direct line of any of the speakers, a kind of 'shadow' if you like. Plus you get sound from the monitors right in front of you on the stage. This causes distortion. Thankfully, even stepping a few feet back can enormously improve sound quality. Because when I'm videoing I like to have the most uninterrupted view of the stage that I can, I'll often be on the barrier. But I always know I'm sacrificing sound quality. I know with the Goanna concert the sound was so much better further back because I've watched other videos taken at the same show. I've no idea where Philip was at the Adelaide concert. Perhaps the sound was bad throughout the venue. A great pity for all the fans if that was the case.
Thanks for posting. Kinda bummed I won’t get to see them on the US leg of the tour.
Sorry to hear they aren't playing anywhere near you. I'd been waiting a very long time for this Australian tour. While they have played at a few festivals, they haven't been playing their own shows. It's good that they are now heading overseas to play (maybe a few European dates will follow). You should think of making a trip if at all possible. I'm not sure how much touring they'll be doing in future. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for commenting.
They are touring in May...check out the dates..
Great shot and sound, thank you!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. It was a fabulous night.
This a good concert of how the hoodoos were live wish this was on dvd I would buy it just to have of great memories of a great Australian bands are yes always a good to see them live thank you
I was so pleased to get to see them. As you said, such a good live band. I wouldn't be surprised if some official video doesn't come out soon, something a little closer than my footage. Thanks for commenting.
Old bands usually make me cringe but this was a good one.
Sorry to learn you're missing out on so much great music from "old bands". Like many (but not all), Hoodoo Gurus are still going strong. And still great to see live if you get the chance.
A beautiful 'Black Beauty' - these are worth AUS $8-9,000. They are super heavy. The late genius Steve "The Riffmaster" Clark had truly epic Customs, x3 Humbuckers with a Kahler. His creme LP Custom is to die for.
The Right Time ! last time i saw them was eastwood hotel 2007
💙🎼🎸💙
Band stratosferica!
A great night from a great band !!!
Great, thanks for posting. Greetings from Brazil!
It was a terrific night. I'd been wanting to see them live for many years. Great to finally get the opportunity. It would seem that quite a few Australian bands are popular in Brazil. I know GANGgajang is. Thanks for commenting.
I see Hoodoo Gurus have just announced a Brazilian tour. Hope you get to see them.
@@Peter_LiveMusic yes, we will be there !! party on folks!!
@@Peter_LiveMusic I already bought tickets for me and my girlfriend for the show in Porto Alegre!!
@@bear9362 You'll have a great time.
Hey man, it’s always the right time. Sublime! For whatevs. The best!
Merci..superb
Content que tu aimes ça. C'était une nuit formidable.
thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it. It was a great evening.
ce serait super cool de voir en France
J'ai attendu longtemps pour les voir moi-même. Bien qu'ils se soient produits occasionnellement, ils n'ont fait aucune tournée depuis de nombreuses années. Peut-être qu'ils s'aventureront à l'étranger avec leur nouvel album.
@@Peter_LiveMusic une date à Paris si on a de la chance...! Comme la dernière fois en 2009 pas loin du Moulin Rouge. Je ne me rappelle pas qu'ils aient fait même dans leur jeunesse plus de 5 dates en France....
@@lemecontent 🤞🥁🤞🎸🤞
The drummer is a bit out of sorts
wow they were kickin' butt in 2022.
They're still kicking butt. If you get the chance definitely worth going to see. Heading back to The States soon.
I was there
🎉🎉Sensacional
❤❤❤
Gonna see the Gurus here in Portland May 19th. Hell Yeah! 😁
It's great that the band is finally getting back to Brazil and The States. I'm sure you'll really enjoy the show. I did.
