OLP and Sponge were so good that Candlebox basically got booed off the stage. They were crying about the crowd and eventually walked off playing like 20 or 30 mins only. It was a long time ago, my memory is probably fuzzy, but thats how I remember it. The song is OK. But best rock songs of all time? Come on man, get a grip. Maybe I'm getting my bands mixed up, but I thought it was Candlebox. They bailed on a show in Buffalo and for years after WEDG refused to play any of their music. It must have been the show you're talking about. 1

(Really thought it'd been at Niagara, but UB could've been the spot.) One of the Edge DJ's was watching the show from near where we were and he's the one that said the singer was pissy about the accoustics. Which is why he wouldn't face the crowd, which caused the crowd to turn on them. What else would one expect from a band signed to Madonna's Maverick label? 1

Acoustic issues make sense though as the starting point of the demise of the show. OLP and Sponge didn't seem to have any though, they absolutely killed their sets.

Another Fan Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Grunge bands from Seattle just weren’t my thing. Never got into Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nirvana, etc... Don’t take away from their influence though

Bob Cousy ! That prima donna S.O.B. ! Red Auerbach got players to be his bodyguard, he was such a dirtbag. Cousy didnt do sh!T until Bill Russell showed up and carried Cousy's carcass to many league championships 1
May Day 10 Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Its a decent enough song for a 90s jukebox type of deal.... but nothing I really hold in that high regard. 1

Sarcasm? When this song was originally out I absolutely hated it. However, I have come to recognize that Judith Durham has one of the finest voices ever, so when I hear the song now, I concentrate on just her voice. Many times I have gone to Utube to listen to the Seekers and end up listening to several of their songs multiple times. This in part raises a Utube practice which is both good and bad. There is a Utube poster that takes Seeker videos and replaces the live performance audio with the original record. The sometimes bad part of this is I really enjoy her live performances. She has perfect pitch and it was already extremely hard to tell if it was live or not. You had to listen to other things in the recording to figure it out. There are a lot of groups where I am sure the fans of that group like to hear the differences between live and recorded.
