Australian Concerts - City/Venue/Date Corrections
I've recently gone through all of the Australian (and NZ)concerts that have occurred since and including 1974. I've discovered a few errors or omissions and it would be great if these can be corrected or added. Some of them are just typos - 1975 29 May, 29 Aug and Sep 75 replace “Findlers” with “Flinders” 1976 3 Jan replace “Mt Gambia” with “Mt Gambier” 5 Jan replace “Warranbool” with “Warrnambool” 8 Jan replace “Mill Dura” with “Mildura” 17 Dec replace “Toowomba” with “Toowoomba” 1977 12 Jan replace “Warmambool” with “Warrnambool” 1979 Additional concert: 5 Feb 1979 – Cremorne Strata Inn, Sydney, Australia 1981 There seems to have been a bit of confusion with the dates for the 1981 Australian tour. These errors have also appeared on other websites. I think this confusion has come about due to the fact that the Sydney concert was originally scheduled for Friday 20 February, however it was rained out. It was then rescheduled for either Sat 21 Feb or Sun 22 Feb (I do not know which), and this was also rained out. So the concert eventually went ahead on Mon 23 Feb. The original Brisbane dates were Sun 22 Feb and Mon 23 Feb. However, as the band and all their gear were still 1000km away in Sydney on Monday 23 Feb night, it was probably decided as a result of this that the 2 Brisbane dates needed to be postponed. I have a copy of the notice that appeared in the Brisbane Courier Mail on Sat 21 Feb informing of the initial postponement of the Sun 22 Feb concert, and will send this through once the dates are corrected. The original Melbourne dates of Fri 27 Feb and Sat 28 Feb took place as scheduled, albeit with riots on both nights. On the February 27 1981 Concert History page, I have submitted a concert report which is an extract from the front page of “The Age” newspaper, titled “Counting the cost of a rock concert”. I had incorrectly captioned this Tuesday, March 5, 1981 – there is no such date – it should have been Tuesday, March 3, 1981. The last paragraph briefly describes the Brisbane concerts that took place the previous night (ie March 2) and tonight (ie March 3). So, it seems that the 2 Brisbane concerts actually took place on Monday 2 March, 1981 and Tuesday, 3 March 1981. I’ve just photocopied a page from the Brisbane Courier Mail and this brief report confirms these dates. 1991 16 Nov replace “Smart Stadium” with “Mt Smart Stadium” 1996 21 Nov replace “Football Park Marrara” with “Marrara Stadium (Football Park)”
You should also replace Apr 23, 1996 "Ishallen", Helsinki, Finland with "Jäähalli"
