Last week I went back to Rundle Mall solo and played two similar sets. The first day I ended up between Dymocks and Esprit/City Chic, and the second day I played between the Myer Centre and City Cross.
Since these were both solo missions, I didn't get any pix or video, but I did record with my phone in my chest pocket, which yielded some of the best-sounding live audio I've come up with so far.
On Wednesday I was kind of in a secluded area, but still managed to draw some change. On Thursday, I was really fortunate to get a great spot and the support of some generous donors.
It probably helped that I made my sign a bit more specific, explaining that the Hutt Street Centre works to support Adelaide's homeless/vulnerable. People responded, and you can hear me almost lose track of the song in the second bridge of One More due to the kind woman who threw down a $10 bill here.
There's also a fun version of Consequential Matters here.
While it's unlikely that someone should read it here first, I should probably note that if you want to make a sizable contribution to the Hutt Street Centre, you should probably do it directly here. Gifts of $2 or more are tax-deductible under the Income Tax Assessment Act.
Setlists for both days were the same songs, in different order:
12/10/11
Disobey - Standstill - Consequential Matters - Freefall - Sola - Road Rage - In My Own Way - One More - Walking Into The Light - Compost Heap
13/10/11
Disobey - Standstill - Freefall - Consequential Matters - Sola - Road Rage - In My Own Way - Walking Into The Light - Compost Heap - One More
I plan to work up a few more songs to switch it up a bit, hopefully this week.
