Saw Pete Best Beatles at the Astra Hotel in Bondi early 80s. I remember ordering a drink from the stage end of the bar that ran the length of the room. Looking down, I noticed a stream of liquid running down the ashtray gutter on the ground. I found the source a few metres to my right…ordering a drink while simultaneously urinating into the gutter against the bar. The Astra was the place to score speed and whatever else. It’s now an aged care facility. Which is perfect really.

I saw the Johnny's at the Bombay Rock in Surfers Palestine during my schoolies, one of the first gigs I could go to being 'legally' 18. They had a fridge full of VBs on-stage.
