"All last night we were learning Drank our cheques by the bar  Somewhere bridges were burning  As the walls came down at the Star  Squad cars fanned the insanity  New steams fought through the crowd  Spent last night under custody  And the sun found me on the road
 * Lyrics of Star Hotel **

At the Star Hotel At the Star Hotel They better listen cause we're ringin' a bell Ain't no deals, we got nothing to sell Just a taste of things to come at the Star Hotel

(Here lies a local culture Most nights were good, some were bad  Between school and a shifting future  It was most of all we had) Those in charge are getting crazier Job queues grow through the land An uncontrolled Youth in Asia Gonna make those fools understand"

Newcastle’s Star Hotel was the town’s main venue for youth and live music. The closing of the hotel on Wednesday, September 19, 1979 was the last straw for a generation which had seen massive unemployment, government cutbacks and little future in an age of economic rationalism. To take away rock & roll was good grounds for a stand-up fight which is what the police got when they arrived in force. Police cars were overturned and burnt, civilian cars were attacked and the Star riot – the largest public disturbance since the Springbok tours of the early Seventies – scared the shit out of the establishment. Don Walker documented the Star Hotel riot on the East album and placed it in the context of a new generation of “uncontrolled youth in Asia” that was brewing through the Fraser years of the late-Seventies. They had none of the trappings of punk rockers in the city but rather an abiding anger. The mood of the time was never better expressed than here in concert from the Swing shift double live album with the smoldering guitar of Ian Moss mirroring the sound of the flames as they melted the police sirens, on top of the raw power of the rhythm section. Swing shift ruptured what was termed the pub-rock sound better than any other Australian release. 4,000 people fought with police.
