As an Australian I think I knew very few people who had actually heard of Travis in 2000 pre release of 'Why does it always rain on me', although this was to change not long after this tour, so the audience was FULL of, what I can only assume to have been, every British backpacker in Australia at the time.
They wooed us with all their new material from 'The Man Who' and classics from their first album as well and we were even lucky enough to hear their version of Britney's 'Hit me Baby...', far better then the original may I say. I'll also never forget Dougie's version of 'Rocket Man', beautifully done!
Since this time I've been lucky enough to have seen Travis a furthur 2 times and I have to be honest and say nothing will ever manage to beat the first time I saw them in my home town of Brisbane at the tiny Arena nightclub! A truely superb performance and I'm sure the other 1000 people present would agree.
