After getting a taxi across the way to Glebe Island (actual address Rozelle LOL), it was time to give another Sydney NYE event a crack, this time Sydney Resolution. After doing a couple of Shore Things and Luna Park's Harbour Party last year it was time to check out something new.
And Sydney Resolution sounded interesting, a strange line up but still intriguing non the less, Jamiroquai definately for me was a major draw card and with his albums in the late 90's early 2000's so wonderful I thought who else better to bring in the new year?
So best thing about this event for the punter (not the promoter) was it was fairly empty and you could move around freely and get food, drink without much of a wait at all.
So by the time we got there it was time to hearing the pouding beats of the Pet Shop Boys. Never been a huge fan but "West End Boy", "West End Girls" & "Go West" all a bit of fun.
After some dinner and the Family Fireworks which were really quiet nice, it was time to prepare for the almighty Jamiroquai. The wait was a little long (40 minutes between fireworks) and then to add to this he was around 15 minutes late and the crowd was started to get bored of the random music videos on screens, yes there were no DJ's or in between entertainers just music videos played at a low volume.
Anyway Jamiroquai finally got on stage and played a hot n cold set. There were moments when I went back into my childhood bedroom singing along and dancing to a catchy disco bit and there were moments were he looked bored and just wanted to get off the stage.
The highlights were definately "Cosmic Girl", "Little L", "You Give Me Something", "White Knuckle Ride" & "Canned Heat". What happened to this dance mega star, he was so grand and just seems to have fallen from the throne.
Overall Sydney Resolution has SO much potenial, great set up with an easy venue to get to and get home, but with a line up that can target one group, not just a mash up like this, from Western Sydney's finest to the gays, to the backpackers. Very random!
Overall a good viewing place for the fireworks too so I give this 4 stars.
