Continental Cafe
Melbourne, August 14th

This show was pretty similar to the previous Melbourne concerts, except that
Steve was definitely happier, more lively and "fired up" than the first shows.
I'm glad to say that we don't have to worry about him being tired of performing;
two weeks of touring seems to have done him a world of good ! It's funny what
being a musician does to you :)

The main point of interest, from my extremely blinkered perspective, was that
Steve mentioned this Web page ! But it was for the worst of reasons :( For
lying unnoticed in the lyrics section was a major error, now shifted to the
"Misheard Lyrics" page for posterity. In the lyrics for "Authority" we had
"Larry's our attorney and everyone's stunned" instead of "Letters are returned,
lovers are spurned." I changed it straight away when I got Steve's e-mail,
but the damage was done. He commented that it sounded like something he'd
write anyway, and even sang it softly while strumming a few chords.
