Year: 1995
Why I like this song:
Earlier this year I got to see Mental As Anything.
Its always fascinating to know a band you followed as a child only to see them as an adult. Granted they may look different from when you originally knew them but that can be forgiven should they deliver live. And that should be an easy task given these songs are immortal right?
Well, they looked older, there were two left of the classic lineup (Martin and Greedy) and the audience present was older than me. But they delivered a great show - Greedy had an energetic presence and looked like he was having the time of his life. I knew all these songs from my youth and it was wonderful to hear them in a live environment.
Funny how veteran acts tend to do better live - but then again I guess they have had much more time to sharpen their live act.
