Wow!!!!: I just enjoyed Linda listening to her takes me back to my days with my mates from Tooheys the brewery (we work in the laboratories) in Sydney being mexican myself I was the one at the time, I have watched her singing Pitiful Me on Youtube today what a voice.
I pity myself never did go to see her concerts when she came down to Aussie I was young and me mates were my life at the time now older I reminisced those beautiful days also at that year came Rodriguez another Mexican-American I was popular because of these 2 beautiful people. I’m almost 70 now and last year I went to see Sugar Man at Newtown with my wife it was heaven tho I would have love to see Linda, Rodriguez and the master to all of them Bob Dylan so many memories guys.
thanx for the pics..Andrew (my aussie name)

Hey, they also played Adelaide on that tour… at the beautiful Adelaide Oval on a magic February evening.
I got a job setting up chairs for the concert and massively taping them up together.. to prevent the hostile Adelaide audiences from flinging them at Linda …
Linda, Waddy Wachtel and the band set up late in the afternoon for a sound check and belted out a MEMORABLE Tumblin Dice… to a select audience of about 40…I’ll never forget it,just fantastic…

This was my first major concert, and have been hooked ever since 🙂 She had a friend of hers dress up, almost like a drag queen, and come onto the stage during the performance which was a laugh… hot band… hot Linda… great vocals!!!!!! And the sound was supreme 🙂

I was at the Sydney gig, and in the second row. I was 17 and sent away for tickets as soon as I saw the ad in the Sunday paper. I was stunned when I turned up at the Showground and was advised by the ticket collector that I needed to make my way to the usher who was right at the front of the stage. I didn’t move from my seat once I sat down!

My then girlfriend and I were in the front row for this great concert.
When Linda sang ‘Alison’ she said (about the pants she was wearing) “I’m dedicating these gold pants to Elvis”
At that time I hadn’t heard of Elvis Costello so assumed she meant Elvis Presley!
It was a balmy Sydney summer’s night, and a wonderful concert. Her band were incredible.
