"it's no wonder their setlists read like a greatest hits compilations, but we can't imagine it would be better any other way."

Soft-spoken Grabowsky slides effortlessly between gentle tinkering to thunderous flourishes, his face a physical contortion of accents, beats and rhythms.

Bull delivers some pearls of wisdom tonight and, observing the crowd, a lot of people are clearly here because they can empathise with his lyrics.

"Gone is much of the sweeping folk-rock instrumentation."

"The sound was great at the front of the mosh pit but, when you wandered a couple of metres back, the volume became a mere whisper."

"Simmons stayed on alone after to play a bass solo while spitting out blood."

"Chisel's all Australian pub rock is what Deni has been hankering for."

It's definitely not a 'best of' set.
