VICTORIA PARK RACECOURSE, ADELAIDE 20/10/01

What can I say? The weather was perfect, the beer was perfect and the entertainment at the Victoria Park Racecourse was excellent. And the Mentals topped it off big time!! The gig started at 5:30pm and went through till 7.

There wasnt much of a crowd, and everyone sat down for the first 20 minutes of the gig, until a group of pissed guys on a footy trip came down and started dancing which got everyone else going. (Until he stepped on my foot!!!)

Anyway , got some pics, they tell the story better than I can.

Darren and Bird setting up and doing a quick soundcheck. Bird is bending over , thats the skin coloured circle near the drum kit.

Darren, the unofficial mental, still setting up. The police band were on just prior. I think he was checking the stage for any drug bust packages that the cops may have left behind.

The guy in the middle isnt a mental band member at all, but he seemed pissed enough to make it to my site. I dont know what he does for a living, but it isnt dancing. He trod on my toe and ripped my nail back causing a lot of pain and blood.

Yay!!! The boys rock Adelaide.

Martin and Duck playing to a conga line. Say I wonder what our mad mate, toe trodding Mick is up to now?

Oh look , he's found a friend to dance with. Maybe shes not dancing, maybe she is trying to dodge his feet.

The man who came second (in my poll that is!!) otherwise known as Rock God, Future Husband but mostly Murray Cook, which is Latin for Legend of Maroubra.

Da Mickster is still getting down to the groovy sounds of Mental as Anything . If you think this guy is drunk , check out this guy in the next photo!!!.....

Does the guy in the hat know that his pants are missing and he is only wearing boxer shorts? And did you know that Menstral is spelt with a "U"????? I didnt, dont worry , private joke!!!

Martin and Darren. Im still bedazzled that menstral has a "U" in it.
