This must be ancient history because Brisbane is now in a rain-shadow. In 1974, however, the CBD was flooded by a passing cyclone. This photo was taken outside 'Festival Hall' where I saw 'Alice Cooper', 'Rod Steward', 'Elton John' (twice), 'Billy Joel', 'The Beach Boys', 'Foreigner', 'Barry Manilow' and probably a few others in the 70's and 80's. Festival Hall was pulled down a year or so ago.

The best thing about Festival Hall was the wooden flooring which was great for stomping the feet during a concert. The worst thing was the smoking that was allowed during concerts :)
Yes, a guy in a wheelchair offered me a joint at one concert in the early 80's. It was really a pretty small veue compared to BEC - much better, although I do have hearing damage now.
