Hilltop Hoods...concert comments

Last Saturday night I went to the Thebarton Town Hall to see the Hilltop Hoods. I was in the unique circumstance of going with the whole family, and partners. We had a great night and it's refreshing to go to a venue and see the crowd, 99% young people behaving in a mature manner. There was the few nincumpoops who had overindulged in whatever beverage and were increasingly becoming dance experts, therefore bumping and grinding sweaty limbs over all and sundry in close proximity. Mosh pit behavour.......It was amazing to see the mass use of mobile phones to record the event, dollars rolling in for phone companies.....The two support acts also hip hop were brilliant, but I was waiting paitently for the Hoods. When they finally started their session it was a whole new experience, with fantastic lighting and visial back drop of animated digital story line. I was glad they sang their more popular songs from previous albums as well as some of the new gear. Moving to their much loved songs the crowd literally went wild, arms waving, feet stomping and the whold place a rocking. I glanced at the ceiling expecting to see some of the plaster or lighting crash to the floor, exciting stuff.
This group are Adelaide born and bred and have a close relationship with their Adelaide fans and this came accross like the familiarity of meeting long lost cousins. If you haven't heard the Hilltop Hoods give yourself a treat and listen for their music..........Hillatop Hillatop Hilla Hilla Hilla Top.
