Thursday
Anxiously awaiting the "A's." 4 hours to go!
Just arrived at the beautiful city recital hall in anticipation of the A's http://plixi.com/p/71182897
Not a word during Adelaide. Audience is captivated!
Paul Kelly's sound resonates beautifully in this hall. Every song is awe-inspiring.
Before too long, you must see Paul Kelly live
'don't explain' Paul Kelly, we didn't know it was the wrong harmonica!
Feeling like I'm 'in the middle of a dream.' Dumb things just makes you want to dance.
The emotions of Everything's turning to white are amplified when it's live. I have goosebumps.
Sensational A-E! Still can't believe I'm here and that I've seen Paul Kelly. Bring on night 2
Friday
Sitting and waiting for night two to start! The excitement is building.
Excited for night two. Even more excited as it begins with my fave song 'foggy fields of France.'
Paul Kelly joined tonight by 'Nephew Dan' and it just works!!
'foggy fields of France' danced in the theatre tonight. Splendid!
'from little things big things grow' is a true display of Paul's song writing genius.
Have a beautiful new recipe for gravy and a new love for 'how to make gravy.'
Beautiful night with many highlights. The harmonies in 'keep on driving' will be remembered fondly
'leaps and bounds' reminded me of the beautiful city of Melbourne. Amazing!
'if I could start today again' I'd have Paul play that song again and again.
Halfway through. Thrilled to have this experience for 2 more nights.
Saturday
Ready for another night of musical genius
You could have heard a pin drop during 'meet me in the middle of the air.' intense!
'our sunshine' was spectacular. There's a buzz tonight
There's a different feeling in the room tonight. A special spark. I thinks it's only going to get better
'South of Germany' Paul with guitar slung over shoulder made hairs on the back of my neck stand
Tonight felt like you were intruding on the Kelly family jam session - so intimate and personal
'smoke under the bridge' shows Paul's insight and understanding. He is the best story teller
Shattered that we're at the end of night three! Maybe he could play another 100 songs?
Sunday
All set for the last night! Excited, but a little sad too-it's been an experience!!
'they thought I was asleep' was incredible! Just Paul, his guitar and a harmonica. Captivating
Have you ever seen Sydney from a 747 at night?
Taught by experts was a nice little bonus
Words cannot describe how amazing Paul Kelly is! We were hoping tonight would never end
Just Paul on piano for 'you can put your shoes under my bed' sent shivers down my spine
An amazing 4 nights that displayed Paul's ability to transcend music genres and generations
The crowd was made up of all ages from all walks of life. Music that brings people together.
My only regret is that it's now over. I want this moment to last forever.
Thank you so much to @abcdigmusic for this amazing experience! It's been truly magical.
Get yourself to a Paul Kelly show as soon as you can. An awesome experience.

Oh no! We have tickets for Saturday and didn't realise the A-Z ran across all nights - missed Before Too Long & Dumb Things! We're opening itunes to try to calculate where we're going to start!
