These concerts are a long haul but worth it in the end. We were not even sure who was playing as we worked our way into the venue. It is a great spot in front of the mansion to set up your chairs in full view of the stage. We went to a Day on the Green about 12 yar back and that was a 35° day set in a dirt paddock with no shade. It is hard not to compare. This was an ideal day, with a slight breeze and 23°. The lawn was manicured and most people cleaned up as they went. The crowd was older, not many people under 40. The playlist might influence that, with Boom Crash Opera, Hunters & Collectors, Daryl Braithwaite, INXS and Icehouse. I would recommend this show over the Day on the Green. Here they have an all access Mosh, where you can come and go as you please. The songs just kept coming and they were our vintage. Some of the band members were bemoaning the digital age and have a point. They say the newer brigade prefer to hear their music by the push of a button rather than go to a live show. The organisation of some groups cannot be believed. Trays and trays of food coming out of eskies for 20 people. Parents with babies that need headphone protection. All in all a good dayout and Laura arranged the tickets as Debbie's birthday present.
