Went to the Jackson Hotel 3 times and have may images of the inside, before it was pulled down. Met a homeless man living there,”Brad”. I love old places like that. Shame they didn’t restore it. It was very scary in there at dusk.

That meter was on a column at the far end of the room opposite the band – it was like one of those ‘Test Your Strength’ fairground machines where you whack it with a mallet and ring the bell, only with lights that would illuminate as a band gathered pace – the louder they got, the more lights.

It used to cut the power when it all lit up, or it did until an outraged eastern states roadie apparently ‘fixed’ it with a large and well-placed nail – after that the challenge for a band was to keep it in the red at all times, much to the chagrin of the publican.

I walked past the Norwood / Jacksons this morning & the demolition squad is there. So much for the heritage listing.
