Summary
The 1979 New Year's Eve concert at the Sydney Opera House featured the legendary Aussie rock band The Angels, with an estimated 100,000 attendees, unfortunately due to poor planning, the event soon descended into chaos! We hear all about it, plus a history of the legendary band!
This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 07:45 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
This episode was recorded live in Brisbane
