You're all so lucky.

NZ didn't get many bands, (& really not as many as the northern hemisphere even now) back in 70's -80's

Too far away & expensive. The bands might have gone to Aussie at a pinch.

So my first would have been Elton John in '82 or '84.

I cant, but my mum can, she saw The Beatles at the Imperial in Nelson in ooo I think 1962/'63. And held John Lennon's hand- apparently she didn't wash it for a fortnight.

The Ka Mate haka words
The words of the 'Ka Mate' version of the haka are:

Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!
Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!
Tenei te tangata puhuru huru

Nana nei i tiki mai

Whakawhiti te ra

A upa ... ne! ka upa ... ne!

A upane kaupane whiti te ra!

I die! I die! I live! I live!

I die! I die! I live! I live!

This is the hairy man

Who fetched the sun
And caused it to shine again

One upward step! Another upward step!

An upward step, another.. the Sun shines!
