The whole night went really well - especially considering some of the obstacles involved. All round it was a great evenings entertainment, and we raised the bar I think!

It all started when I arrived at about 6 to find that lo and behold, the mixer was not there beside the stage! So I located the audio guy Tony. Tony explained that it was in use elsewhere, and he'd been told we didn't use it. Then he managed to come up with a solution to get us going for tonight, involving going in through the dj mixing panel. But we still were short on inputs, so I rang David Lucas, and thankfully, he agreed to go and pick up our mixer from Botany, on his way to the gig. Phew! Anyway, it wasn't long before some of the regular troopers arrived including Simon, Josh, Martin, Ivan and Debbie, followed soon after by David. Then I plugged in the little mixer, fired up the special "quantum space chorus" effect, and the night was under way.

Among the throng of people in the crowd, some notables include Amanda from Bondi, Ben the bass player, Pete the guitarist, Chevonne the sultry singer and friends, and Rex Havoc - who later on performed a fine rendition of a few of his rousing anti-war medleys - now you don't see that every day in an RSL club on the eve of Anzac day!

The evening began when Simon warmed us up with a few tunes and croons, and Ivan started up some of his fabulous projections, to get that Quantum feeling going on. Then shortly after 8pm, we (The Flaming Galahs) took to the stage for our ever expanding set. Tonight we performed a new song list where we alternated between David's and my songs throughout the set, with a sprinkling of Martin's masterpieces thrown in. Here is the full song list as performed tonight:

• Running Down The Mountain
• It Goes
• Girl From The Country
• Love To Misery
• Darkness
• I'm Talking Love
• Song For Big
• Mystery Girl
• Venus
• Flowers In The Fields
• Red Sun
• Purple Soul
• Infinity
• Complicated (not performed)
• Sprung (not performed)
• Sleepwalking (not performed)

We had only three more songs to go on our total song list (Complicated and Sprung and Sleepwalking), when Simon called time and prepared to present the next artists.

We were followed by an impressive rendition by Chevonne of the classic Eartha Kitt song "I Want To Be Evil" followed by "Leather", both with Simon on backing music. Then Rex got up for his ground breaking historic performance. Simon then skillfully brought the Quantum Lounge phase 1 to a close for the evening. Then it was time for phase 2 to commence. Ivan took to the dj desk and started injecting strange and beautiful audio and video experiences into the Quantum engine hyper drive, resulting in some rare and special outcomes for all present - including the manager Chris, who wasn't sure if something more conventional might have been appropriate for all the hairy bears coming down from the special dance music event they were holding upstairs until 3am (where the mixer had dissappeared to). Never a moment when something isn't happening at the Quantum Lounge!
