Haha.. just reading Planet Rocks DJ Darren Reddicks blog about Rhodes Rock... why is this report not a surprise hahaHot in the shade: Day 4
I'll try to get some video up on this, but yesterday was a high-water mark for sure. Literally. Remember I said we were going out on a boat? Well, yes.

When you think of glass-bottom boats, what do you think of? I imagine a pleasure cruise looking at stuff that you wouldn't normally see cause it's underwater. Right?

Well, we had the nautical equivalent of Freddie Krueger and Saw combined for a captain. He floored the throttle and off we went at breakneck speed....toward any small cluster of rocks, reefs or beaches. Crazy Ivan laughing maniacally, finally turning at the last possible minute, while we all screamed!

I am sure he thought we were screaming out of the thrill of being nearly dashed on the rocks, but in reality I found out later, we were all scared shitless.

The upside is that we lived. And at one point we did drop anchor and had a swim in a rather magnificent cove. It must be mentioned here that John (Bon Scott) from Live/Wire is a man among men. No he didn't save anyone from drowning or invent a cure for anything that I am aware of, but the man went all Hercules at the Olympics; armadillos etc. (naked) And into the water he went. And back up on to the boat. And back in the water. Aaaaaand back on the boat. Slightly intimidating actually.

A little too Wiener Fest for comfort, truth be told. But once he was dressed again, a terrific guy.

Here is a snap of my daughter and me on the boat before the death ride commenced. We look relaxed.

I got back from Rhodes yesterday evening and am still buzzing with that WOW factor of the whole week (apart from the England game).

Words cannot explain the feeling of the Pink Floyd gig in an ancient ampitheatre with the Acropolyse in the back ground and the light show. This band were note for note of the orginals!!
But obviously Live/Wire stole the show for me, and we spoke to sooo many people who had never seen or heard of Live/Wire or were AC DC fans and said the same thing.

So in no particular order here are a few snifters

First of all the stage of the 2 main gigs and ZZ Tops


























This is the view of where one of the gigs took place....













Just can't wait till next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!
