When Mike Brady performs his hit song on the hallowed turf of the MCG, 100,000 people sing in unison.

“When you run onto a ground that’s got 100,000 people in such close proximity like the MCG, you can feel the heat. When you’ve got a song like Up There Cazaly that’s so popular, you can almost sense the electricity when you sing it. It’s a wonderful feeling to have so many people on your side.”
