Good Lovin’ – David Campbell (DVD 2009)

Written by Jacqui James

 

WE MUST HAVE WATCHED this DVD at least five times if not more since Mum buying it around April. There’s only one word to describe David and that is DAG. He’s the typical Australian larrikin who loves to have a joke about himself and his family.

The Good Lovin’ LIVE concert was filmed at Sydney’s State Theatre during the Good Lovin’ LIVE national tour. David comes out in a maroon satiny suit that cries out flamboyant much, but this is all part of the act. David soon asks the audience, “How do you like the suit?” joking about the fact he was recently married, but you wouldn’t think it implying he could be confused as gay!

 

On backing vocals David has his sister Mahulia Barnes and they tell a very funny story about their Dad who is of course Jimmy Barnes. David recalls at his wedding how his Dad had tissues in his groin to hand around. They also said how every Christmas their Dad puts on the Tin Lid’s album and cries.

David had a very special guest to sing Yeh Yeh with him. Bob Downes comes out of the audience to join David onstage. Throughout the song they cracked jokes about their relationship, again playing on David’s camp ways.

Good Lovin’ LIVE is a perfect DVD to put on when you’re after a fun night entertaining guests. I give Good Lovin’ LIVE five out of five frangipanis!

I'm an Australian author and music journalist from Melbourne. I've had articles and poetry published in several magazines and newspapers since finishing my Diploma in Professional Writing and Editing in 2001. In 2010 Gigs 'n Interviews was born. I launched it with my first big named interview and that was Vanessa Amorosi and then in 2012 I felt unbelievably privileged to interview Ronan Keating. I'm extremely proud of what Gigs 'n Interviews has become as it's seen as a platform for emerging artists and entertainers to be heard.

Looking forward to writing more children's books, I hope to change the wrong perception of children and adults with disabilities as I was born with Severe Cerebral Palsy (like Christy Brown who wrote My Left Foot). People can view my books at www.jacquijames.net
