Re: Episodes of ROCK ARENA I would like to see

You have Rock Arena (Archival info) !

I remember when I bought all the archival info for Countdown, they said if I wanted anything else, and I said no. Then I was like, I should have got Rock Arena, and now seeing your copy's, I regret it!

Hey Armin,

I just requested some of those episodes.

The Machinations I WANT the most so I listed that, plus Shriekback live I listed as I love them and I also requested the Sylvian one...

Hope you dont mind that I requested them straight from your dates.

But hey, it's worth a try!

There are a few more where I wouldn't mind seeing an individual clip, but these are about the best of them. Unlike Countdown, which played current music, Rock Arena tended to play older material so they would play 70's clips or concerts during the great years of 83 and 84 while mostly ignoring the new releases.

Rock Arena started on February 23 1982 (with a Kinks concert) and was filmed in Adelaide with Andrew Peters as host, but most of the early episodes don't appear to exist anymore. In 1984 it moved to Melbourne and was hosted by Glen Shorrock for half a year before Suzanne Dowling took over and made the show her own for the next 4 years.

Re: Episodes of ROCK ARENA I would like to see

Good morning Jason
I don't actually have a hard copy of Rock Arena programs, I just tap into their archives via the internet and just copied and pasted those episodes.

Anything that the ABC have archived is accessible via your home computer but it is a website that the ABC don't advertise or freely release to the public.

Re: Episodes of ROCK ARENA I would like to see

Very impressive! So why did they axe Rock Arena? Surely it was a much cheaper program to produce than Countdown. After reading the episodes listed, there is more to Rock Arena than meets the eye. Sorry for sounding a bit in the dark, I didn't started watching Rock Arena until 1987. So, when did it get axed?

Re: Episodes of ROCK ARENA I would like to see

I think Rock Arena ended in early to mid 1989, I used to watch it in 1988 and maybe briefly in 1989.

Armin, can you confirm?

Armin

Jan 10th, 2008 - 11:38 PM

Re: Episodes of ROCK ARENA I would like to see

The ABC hasn't archived most of the last year of Rock Arena so I can't confirm the last episode. The last one I know of for certain is the December 27 1988 Jimi Hendrix special. Probably ran to early 1989.

Jason, I will give you the code for accessing the ABC archives after we have finished our trade. Have you gotten my emails?

Re: Episodes of ROCK ARENA I would like to see

Hi Armin!I was wonderin' if you had some info on episodes of "Rock Arena" featuring the following artists-
The Replacements
Lone Justice
Jason And The Scorchers
The Pretenders
Stephen Cummings

I could be wrong about Lone Justice and Jason & The Scorchers bein' on "Rock Arena",but I'm dead positive about the other 3.The Replacements was either late 1985 or early 1986,The Pretenders I'm thinkin' of's with the classic line-up(I'm pretty sure they shared an episode with AC/DC)from the early 80's and with Stephen Cummings,I got an episode from 1984 with 3 of his clips,but I know there's one from 1986 where he performed live in the studio(round the "This Wonderful Life" period) and I'd be stunned if one featured some stuff from when he was in The Sports.Your help would be greatly appreciated.Cheers!

Re: Episodes of ROCK ARENA I would like to see

John
There is no record of The Replacements in the archives. That is not to say it doesn't exist, it just hasn't been cataloged yet although most of 85/86 appears to be there. No point requesting something that they can't find yet. Are you sure it was on Rock Arena? Early episodes from 1982 and part of 1983 don't appear much which would affect your Pretenders episode

Lone Justice appeared on the following episodes:

LONE JUSTICE 'WAYS TO BE WICKED'

Re: Episodes of ROCK ARENA I would like to see

I did find the following clip for The Replacements on an episode of Countdown Revolution recorded 1/1/89 (I sincerely doubt someone was compiling this on New Year's Day at the ABC) but not sure when it was shown.

1.15.38 FF#1 THE REPLACEMENTS - ACHIN TO BE (DUR 3.27);

Re: Episodes of ROCK ARENA I would like to see

Hi Armin!Thanks for helpin' me out with my inquiries.Didn't know The Replacements got a look-in on "Countdown Revolution"-that was a surprise.As for whether or not they appeared on "Rock Arena",I know they did.From memory,they were the openin' band on the episode in question and the clip was for one of the singles off my fave album of theirs "Tim"(pretty sure it was for "*******s Of Young")with Suzanne Dowling sayin' somethin' after it was finished about the band's attitude towards videos,as the clip's basically just a shot of a stereo speaker blastin' out the song.This was my introduction to the band(though it wasn't till some years later I got all their albums).Those episodes you listed featurin' Lone Justice,Jason & The Scorchers and Stephen Cummings sound great,as do some of the other ones you've listed in your posts like the ones with Mondo Rock and Jo Jo Zep And The Falcons,but I doubt any of them will pop up in the near future.Cheers!

Hi Armin,

WOW what a wealth of info in reguard to the ROCK ARENA episodes, I would really like the one that featured all of Sharon O'Neill's music videos from "Words" to all of her FOREIGN AFFAIR music videos shown around 1983 from memory + any show that featured the QED official music video "Everywhere I Go" would be fantastic want that sooo bad, even Jenny Morris has not got it to my knowledge. And yes any bands or female Aussie artists of the time PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring it on.

Re: Episodes of ROCK ARENA I would like to see

Just been reading the Rock Arena playlists.
Interesting to see that the Pretenders had a video clip for 'Room Full Of Mirrors' Was that released as a single? I guess it was. Must have been after 'Hymn to Her'.

You probably noticed on last weeks Countdown (17/10/82)episode that the black dude from Haircut 100, became a member of the Pretenders. Was that Patsy Kensit in the Haircut 100 video?

Re: Episodes of ROCK ARENA I would like to see

Hi Michael,

In reguard to the Haircut 100 clip YES i was thinking exactly the same thing after seeing the clip last week and although not entirely certain I would say that I am 90% certain that it is Patsy Kensit. If it isn't I would be very surprised as she is the splitting image of that particular actress/singer.

Re: Episodes of ROCK ARENA I would like to see

Since I first saw Nobody's Fool video in 1999 I have ALWAYS thought it was Patsy Kensit. I would say I am 99% sure it's her, it has to be.

It looks exactly like her, and she looks just the right age in 1982.

For those who wanted to see the replacements video, here it is.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap0p7mhu4w0

And that guy you were talking about from haircut 100..... he is Blair Cunningham, who not only played drums for that group, but also played with the Pretenders, and eventually for Paul McCartney in the early 1990's.
