Thank God! The band also had alot of electrical problems the night we saw them. Not their fault I just think the chap outside was not peddaling fast enough. Did not matter to us as we were just rapt to see and hear our favorite band. We now have number of fine large venues. Was also at the 2001, Mercury Lounge concert. It's part of the Crown Casino complex in Melbourne. Cheers Peter |

TEXT  I could be wrong? Festival might still exist! Found info on web site saying it has been refurbished as a band venue. It's not the the sort of place you notice as you drive by. It's raised above the road level as you drive out from under a rail bridge and looks very ordinary from the front. TEXT

I have just posted a plea for another Oz tour on the Tour 2004 message board - and hopefully a visit to the West Coast!!!! C'mon Aussie Feat fans - get on board - we badly need a Feat Fix - Byron Bay was just too far to go and I don't think Festival Hall is still functional. Oh well, back to the DVD player for more vibes from St Louis - can highly recommend the DVD - just tops of the collection nicely - but I need to see them live!!!!!
