    This is amazing to see. No egos , No animosity towards each other....Just 1000's of people forgetting their worries and enjoying themselves as one. I imagine every single person walked away with nothing but love for one another in their hearts. Astrid Jorgensen should be awarded Australian of the year for bringing so many people together.

    Toto would be proud 😢 such a nice testament to their incredible hit. I'm 59, another die hard fan of theirs....so in love with Toto, nice to see their song appreciated by young people who can catch a glimpse of what the glorious 80s were like! 💪💪💪💪💪 long live the genre 😜

    The Brisbane gig on 28 June was one of the best nights of my life. Went with my twin sister for our birthday and lo! I am in the video!!!! for a second. Thank you to Astrid and the team. You made a beautiful safe environment where everyone could feel welcome and included. I particularly valued, and needed, the prompts to connect to other audience members to make sure everyone was coping with the volume of people and sound. Here's to a future where this happens at every pub, every weekend. Music is our birthright.

    All-time favorite Toto song. I was privileged to photograph them in the 1970s. Those photographs are some of the most precious things I own.

    astrid has a special touch in getting people to cooperate [GREAT positive leader ,one of the best i've come across .so refreshingly different from a lot of polies that haven'y got a positive vision to unite people but do it in a negative way giving voice to anger ,frustration resentment and hatred ],take a chance and be cohesive in a positive way ending up with a vulnerable authentic unadulterated joy which lifts everybody up and is SO contagious..
    she should write a book about what secrets she's learned . and send one to putin and also the israelies and palestinian's. and trumpy
