1995-01-26 - The Truth @ Swanston Walk

The Truth played in the city for Australia Day. I remember the stage being in Swanston Walk but now thought Bourke Street Mall more likely, however I found an old The Age article on newspapers.com which referred to the Triple M Rock Rig being setup on "the walk" so perhaps my memory is correct.

I was never 100% sure if this was 1994 or 1995 but almost certain it's 1995.

Mik and I travelled in, positioned ourselves up front and watched with awe.

The band thought it amusing they were there for Australia Day as only one of the members was Australian. I remember Geoff Wells (guitar) broke a string at the end of Can't Help It but did well to cover it until the end of the song.

Setlist:
Tables Are Turning
Can't Help It
Too Late
Secrets
Choices
Peak It!
My Heavy Friend

We found this setlist (as drawn on the back of a water bottle label) on the day but this isn't exactly what was played. I wrote down the list as above.
