If it’s playing 50 dodgy acoustic gigs on a Tuesday night in Wesleyanne in Northcote, then so be it," he advises. Stories and Anecdotes Fans of Australian band Regurgitator will be riveted by Michael's experiences dealing with their enigmatic frontman, Quan, whose unconventional approaches to the industry have shocked him time and time again.

In this highlight from Behind The Hits: Paul McCartey, we find out who the legendary Beatle blames for the rise of 3 hour shows! The legendary Paul McCartney is no stranger to mesmerising audiences for hours. From his early days with the Beatles, where performances hardly surpassed the half-hour mark, to his present-day gigs spanning close to three hours, Sir Paul has always known how to entertain. Why the shift in concert length? While McCartney might jestingly place some of the "blame" on Bruce Springsteen, there's an evident trend in the music industry. Rock legends like the Foo Fighters and Bruce Springsteen himself regularly set the bar high, often passing the three-hour threshold in their live performances. The iconic Beatle recently shared a light-hearted exchange with Springsteen on the topic. "I said to him 'Listen, I blame you because people used to do sensible length concerts, then he starts doing four hours and it's like 'Oh we could do a bit more?'" McCartney recalled. It’s evident that artists today are not just performing to showcase their tracks, but to give their fans an immersive experience, ensuring they get their money’s worth and more. To dive deeper into this trend and hear more of Paul's musings on extended setlists, tune into Behind the Hits, a show hosted by the dynamic Dave Gleeson.

A Dream Born From Media Shyness The inception of "Finding the Voice" can be traced back five years ago when Farnham's manager, Glenn Wheatley, took the ambitious step of conceptualizing the documentary. The singer, renowned for his exceptional talent, was equally infamous for his media shyness. Nevertheless, driven by his passion for Farnham's incredible story, Wheatley was determined to showcase the enigmatic performer's journey to the world.

In the vibrant and electrifying era of the 1970s, Queen emerged as a force to be reckoned with, captivating audiences worldwide with their flamboyant style and operatic approach to rock music. However, the path to success was not an easy one for this iconic band. In this highlight from Behind The Hits: Queen, Brian May, the band's gifted guitarist, revealed that without a record contract, it was nearly impossible to land high-profile gigs. Simultaneously, record labels were reluctant to take a chance on a band without a significant following. This Catch-22 situation prompted Queen to adopt a relentless work ethic that would shape their future success. Queen's determination led them to focus on honing their songwriting, rehearsing meticulously, and perfecting their live performances. They understood that seizing opportunities required them to be well-prepared. Brian May recounted, "We would get so good at writing, rehearsing, planning, and producing, so that whenever a small window of opportunity opened, we would be ready to leap through it." This tireless commitment to their craft eventually paid off and set the stage for their meteoric rise. Queen's unwavering dedication finally caught the attention of industry insiders, and their breakthrough moment arrived. They showcased their exceptional talent and unique sound, captivating audiences and record labels alike. The band's relentless pursuit of excellence not only won them a record deal but also set them on the path to becoming one of the most successful rock acts of all time. With their debut self-titled album, released 50 years ago this month, Queen unleashed their distinctive musical style to the world. The album showcased their range and versatility, from the anthemic "Keep Yourself Alive" to the haunting ballad "Doing All Right." While it received positive reviews, it didn't immediately catapult them to stardom. However, it laid a solid foundation for the band's subsequent releases and provided a glimpse into their immense potential.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this highlight from Behind The Hits: Queen, we delve into Queens first ever Australian Tour. Queen, one of the most iconic rock bands in music history, has achieved tremendous success worldwide. However, their initial reception in Australia was far from glamorous. In 1974, shortly after releasing their self-titled album, Queen was scheduled to headline the Sunbury Festival in Victoria. Despite a lackluster start, the band's perseverance and talent eventually propelled them to become one of the highest-selling rock bands of all time in Australia. Urban legends surrounding Queen's performance at Sunbury claim that they were booed off stage and that Freddie Mercury confidently predicted their future success. However, according to Brian May, Queen's guitarist, the crowd's reaction was more rooted in unfamiliarity than outright rejection. May acknowledged that as an unknown group, Queen was not deserving of headlining the festival and found themselves in a difficult situation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
