28th May Wellers Melbourne VIC

[princess1]

Good Morning everyone, I'm so sorry for not getting on and posting last night but I was just wrecked and couldn't keep my eyes open.
The show last night was again absolutely awesome, the crowd was very different to the night before, not into it as much but Damien is such an amazing performer, he had everyone singing along with him eventually. The songs he sung were fantastic as usual but you could tell his throat was not right, but even with this he still hit and hung on to those high notes, he is just
We stayed again for the meet and greet and as alway Damien is just so generous with his time, after the usual hello, did you enjoy the show , we got a few more photo's, how could anyone not love this man
I must admit though, I felt a bit awkward at the end, everyone had gone and my DH got held up, so I waited outside (thanks Di & Pam for waiting with me) who should come out to their car and say. "What are you girls loitering for" with a cheeky giggle, (really D we're not stalking you), I'm so . Thankfully dh turned up not long after so I was on my way too.
I can't wait to see the show tonight

Fantastic set list and thank you so much for the great reports ladies.
Sounds like another brilliant night.
You must be so excited about a new venue tonight too.

Poor Damien having a bad throat so early in the tour too. I hope he feels much better soon. Poor thing..

Princey, another beautiful pic of you and Damien!

[princess1]

Thanks Carla, I can't pick a favourite I'm really looking forward to Capers tonight, it's going to be another great show, I just hope Damien's throat feels better

[Womby]

I hope so too I'm a bit worried that Damien has set himself too tough a schedule with so many shows and signings afterwards. I just hope he is still as happy and relaxed by the time he gets to the Doylo at the end of next month

But can I just say - Guitar Man with a Stairway to Heaven interlude Would love to hear this

Thanks for the reports ladies - enjoy the rest of your shows ;D

Thanks guys.
One little thing..I asked D about Time In a Bottle and Lilac Wine..he said Manchester Lane has a piano, so look out for them there. *crosses everything*

Oh I hope so Trilly

Wonder if Revesby Workers has Piano ( or wonders how MM can seek one in )

Sounds like another great night - I love Damien's version of Everybody's Talking and wow I like to hear D sing Stairway to Heaven

Hope D remembers to take care of himself.

Thanks for your report Princess. These concerts can be so exhilarating but also so emotionally draining by the end of it. But you've got another tonight? Lucky ducky
Too bad Damien's voice is getting a bit fatigued - hopefully not sick. With rest and care it should come good.

I do hope they have arranged an accredited agent to sell the merchandise so that it counts to the charts. Such a shame otherwise if the many sales of the captive (and captivated) audience don't go to the ARIAs. But I guess management have taken that into account.

[Roxy]

OMG....I totally adore Stairway to Heaven....

D if you are reading.......WHOLE SONG PLEASE!!

Sounds like another great night for you girls, and the setlist sounds..good too.

Were there many Cd's being sold at last nights venue?? I'm so hoping he is selling heaps, I wonder if these go towards the Aria charts? Has anyone asked?

running off to check out the photos...



Where is Di???

[princess1]

She is at her sisters house Roxy, so has had limited time on the computer

[Roxy]

oh ok thanks princey...I thought you must of left her out in the bush or something.


And...where are your photos princey? have I missed them?

[princess1]

I've got 3 in the C & A thread Roxy, thats all I could manage, it was too dark and we were too far back for me to get any good shots of the stage

[Trilly]

Somehow, I'm expecting that Damien's mixture will have sorted his scratchy throat by tonight..he seems to have great faith in it.

Not sure if the sales from the Tour are ARIA accredited... something to ask, I guess.

oh, and one more thing..talk of speedo shots of Eric as merchandise keeps coming up!..bwhahaha! Eric seems mortified by the thought.

[Mysterri]

Are we talking about boodgies again Trilly?

My report is very late. I was absolutely stuffed when I got home. Damien was absolutely
fantastic last night.He truly shines on stage performing to a live audience. His song list was so good. Even with a bit of a sore throat he was still hitting those sweet notes as only he can.
After the wonderful show he always has time for all the fans signing cd's or having photo's taken. He is a genuine nice guy. I had a lovely night with the Melbourne girls, and will see them and Damien again tommorrow night. It took ages to get to sleep last night I relived the night over and over.

[Mysterri]

Thanks for your report Nixter and there is no need to apologise for not posting sooner. We all totally understand what teh coma can do once it takes hold.
