Can we do that again. Spandau Ballet and Tears were great. 80s all over again. Duran Duran would be good. Cheers - Peter Randall

17th April 2010 oh what a night.Best concert I have ever been to. Saw Spandau in 1985 but this concert beats that hands down. I saw Sting and John Butler at Leeuwin but without doubt the venue and power of the whole concert exceeded the Leeuwin experience. The bar and toilet facilities were first class and a shuttle bus from and to Garden City bus terminal made life so much easier. Congratulations Sandalford the first time but certainly not the last time I will be attending a concert at this superb location. - Bob Taylor

The aboslute best concert I have ever been to from every aspect. Hat's off to Sandalford's organisational skills, presentation, amazing stage set up, top catering facilities, parking was a pleasure. And - all credit to a great crowd re-living the fantastic eighties era with two of the most amazing bands of the time both of whom were flawless. Takes a lot to get Perth audiences on their feet, these bands did it instantly from the first chord of the first TFF number - just brilliant!! Love to see Madness, Duran Duran, Human League, Pet Shop Boys the list goes on and being a Simply Red tragic have to include them too but the magic of this night will last forever. Thanks for the memory Sandalford. - Sue Oliver

What a great night! It was seriously the BEST concert I have been to in over twenty years. A crowd of us danced and sang our way through two great bands. Wow, did we sing! I went to see AC/DC in March but I lost my voice with SB. We all sang SB songs on the bus going home. It just was the BEST. - Colin

We had a brilliant evening! The venue was ideal, we couldn't have wished for better weather and Spandau Ballet did not disappoint - they were awesome!! Despite feeling our age when the band said it had been 25 years since their last performance in Perth (!), the crowd made sure it would be a memorable evening, everyone was in great form singing and bopping along all night. Facilities at Sandalford were great and we made use of the well arranged public transport options. Oh and the Sauv Blanc went down really well too! - Mel

Fantastic night. I saw them in 1985 and they were brilliant and they were brilliant again today. Much better venue than the Burswood, very relaxing and enjoyable a fun night out. The crowd was really well behaved as well, good to see people have good clean fun! - Marie Italiano

This was a truly outstanding event in every way. My wife and I drove to Midland train station, parked and got straight on a shuttle bus to Sandalford. Both Spandau Ballet and Tears for Fears were sensational: Tony Hadley's voice is as good as it was 25 years ago. The sound production quality was superb. At the close of the show, we took in that great fireworks display, walked straight to another shuttel bus to get us back to Midland train station and we were home in North Perth 47 minutes after the concert ended. A great venue in every respect. - Steve

Wow what a night am a massive fan off Spandau and what an excellent night congratulations to Sandalford for putting such a show tears for fears were very good, but Spandau were better well done Tony you sound as good as you did in 1980 welcome back boys - Chris Gibbs

We go to a lot of concerts (nostalgic concert tragics) - this has to be up there with the Best! SB and TFF were better than ever - our son is a local muso and he was blown away - he was only about 10 when these guys were huge. I am still reliving the night - we had great seats and the weather played its part. Bring 'em back I say.....one criticism was the getaway at the end. Need to have some direction and order pls! - Norma O'Neil

Congratulations on a memorable evening. I attended with 3 friends all with varying degrees of nostalgic memories of both Tears for Fears and Spandau Ballet however from the moment Spandau Ballet stepped on stage all the memories and good times came flooding back. I had forgotten how good they were live; having seen them back in Perth in '85. Stunning end with the fireworks, the fireworks should be. Congratulations and thank you - Fleur Allen

An exceptional night, and to those that have asked me since what I thought of the show, I simply say "it was a magical evening". TFF for terrific, and I enjoyed them very much. However, when Spandau came on, it was spine-tingling, watching the prelude on the screen, and then seeing them all standing behind the curtain, in unison, that was a 'wow' moment! Spandau sounded fantastic, they have managed to recreate the magic. I saw them in May 1985, and I was way up the back of the Entertainment Centre for that one... so to be sitting on the grass, fresh air, and seeing such a spectular show, I loved every single minute of it. I sang myself hoarse! I thought the whole night was very well organised, and the fireworks at the end just topped off a wonderful experience! - Sandra

Went to Sandalford for my birthday, and had such a great night . TFF and Spandau Ballet were unbelievably good, and so is the venue . Had no problems getting in or out, i think it is all in the timing of when you exit, and we did pretty quickly . Only thing is you ran out of Champers at about 6pm, how the heck could you let that happen ??? And the prices for wine and champs were over the top, but we all expected they would be so we cashed up !! All in all we had a brilliant night, cant wait for the next concert.... Thanks ;D;D;D - Kate

My first event at Sandalford...a beautiful venue, excellent sound and view of the stage. Tears for Fears and Spandau Ballet were absolutely fantastic, couldn't have asked for a better experience. The parking as we left was another story, cars attempting to exit from every direction, no marshals in sight - total chaos. - Susan Atkins

Firstly I would like to give praise to the venue. If I hadn't been to Sandalford just recently for wine tasting I would have expected the setup to consist of a basic amphitheatre for the stage. I was absolutely amazed at the seriousness of the stage setup, very professional. Beautiful location, the best I've been to. Now to the bands, any notion that we were about to listen to a bunch of has-beens were blown out of the water when they started to perform. I agree with other comments regarding Spandau Ballet been brilliant but so were Tears for Fears. They reminded everyone how good the music really was in the 80's. Awesome concert, hope to see many more 80's Bands. Long live the 80's!!! ;D;D;D - Colin & Val - Roleystone

Absolutely Fan-bloody-tastic! Probably the best concert I have ever been to. Sandalford caters so well for all the patrons and they belted out every hit that I wanted to hear from start to finish. Well done Sandalford yet again...I don't think I've ever seen a crowd there so into the concert. :):):):):) - Kate Goldie

The highlights: Roland and Curt were the best, what great sound and lighting too! Lovely friendly gracious staff, portaloos maintained excellent and crowd control guys great. On the downside: Stage could definately be higher. The disasterous exit stategy for the crowd in cars bought the whole mood of the night way down-surely you can do better in that department!!!??? - Cindy

I took my 12 year old daughter along and we had a ball. Absolutely fantastic can't believe its 25 years and they still can deliver a fantastic brilliant performance, both spandau ballet and tears for fears. Come back again boys, well done. I just wanted to live in the moment saturday nite and never wanted it to end!!!! - Mrs M Parker

Totally agree with most comments!(Exit Strategy). I'm in my early 40's and dragged my wife along, in her well late 20's and even she loved the concert! I thought of the concert as a once in a lifetime opportunity!(our 1st visit to sandalford's winery). On a promotional issue, we live in Bunbury and I heard of the concert by sheer chance while surfing the net! These artists should be more widely advertised to attract an audience such as me who is willing to drive an hour or two and seek accomodation in Perth.(try HOT FM?) Anyway, thankyou so much for organising such a great event! PS is the DVD readily available?We'd love a copy for our Civic Video store in Harvey!;D - Darrin Bennett

Just wanted to say I have only been to a few concerts at Sandalford and they where all fantastic, the setting is beautiful, the atmosphere is laid back and the artists have been fantastic...Spandau Ballet and Tears For Fears put on a great show, loved them both..I also attended Tina Arena and Ronan Keating and that was another awesome night. I have no issues with parking as my hubby drops us off and picks us up..easy!! One thing that took me by surprise was that at the Ronan concert people only danced in the aisle , not infront of those seated on the grass...but at the Spandau Ballet people just stood and danced in front of everyone..so it may be a good idea to have half only seated and the other half for dancing...We moved up the back and danced all night, but there was those that where slightly older and needed to sit...Please bring Depeche mode to Sandalford x o x - Karen

I would prbably classify as one of those "fuddy duddies" someone described. I'm not - my husband and I had a ball, I took him because Spandau Ballet is one of his favourite groups.We travelled a road trip of over 900kms to be there. I bought seats at the front. My husband is very ill and could not stand all night. And yet people were allowed to leave there seats and dance in the aisles - he could see nothing. I was constantly abused and ignored when I asked people to please move. Please Sandalford - have a designated dancing area. I love dancing, so did my husband - he can't now but of course you need to dance at a concert, just not in front of seated people. Please. Also the two totally drunk women behind us spoilt it somewhat - they didn't like Tears for Fears so screamed and yelled all the way through it then fell all over the place later when trying to dance. So please think - not all people who are seated are fuddy duddies. - AR

The concert was brilliant from start to finish. The Wolfgram sisters kicked it off well. David Campbell got us all hopping, and then the Master- Tom Jones topped the night with a brilliant performance. The atmosphere was electric and the performance superb! - Regina Caporn

Had an awesome night at the Motown event - was great to hear the classics once again - next time though, leave Jimmy Barnes at home - he sounded like chalk on a blackboard and wouldn't know how to sing if his life depended on it - all he can do is scream - and his daughter followed suit! - Jesse

I thought the Motown concert was fantastic but I wasn't happy with the traffic management of getting into the grounds or out. We left home at approx 4:50 pm and we weren't that far away and traffic was crawling along at snails pace; it took well over an hour and a half (or more) to get into the grounds. We finally got into the grounds at 6:50 pm. That's nearly two hours!!! It took even longer to get out. There were a lot of very rude people trying to jump the cue upon leaving. We'd been waiting in a long cue for well over half an hour and people were just coming along jumping in their car and trying to push in. It was disgusting. I couldn't believe the gall of these people. The Leeuwin Estate concert is managed far better in comparison as it's a breeze getting in and out of there. I wasn't particularly impressed with the traffic management at all and there should have been either another exit or two lanes to get out!!! It's certainly put me off going again. - Karen Chopping

What a bloody fantastic night! The band pulled off the hit machine sound perfectly, and even the non motowners (Joan Osborne & Barnsey) were amazing! Thank you Sandalford! Keep em coming.... - James

Had a great time. but the smell was bad. We thought we were dancing on dog poo. (I know this is not the case). We are realy looking forward to Tom Jones on 14th. Sandalford is a fantastic venue. Had my daughters Wedding in the Oak Room, It was faultless. - Annette Currie

A fantastic evening enjoyed by my three friends and myself it was as if we were all 18years old again. Great night:) - Kathy Britton

I have attended two shows at Sandalford and the whole experience of concert and dining is amazing! The beautiful outdoor setting with a concert under the stars is unbeatable and by far my favourite venue in Perth to see a show. Keep up the good work Sandalford ... 10 out of 10. - Anna
