Hey everyone,
 
Happy Australia Day everyone - I'm going on a brewery tour - how very Australian.
 
People are talking about downloading the RMIT show from Dime?

Is this right, I go to the site and can't find anything that looks like it would allow you to download stuff.
 
Help please!!
 
Cheers
 
Kev

Midnight Oil / Warumpi Band

RMIT 100th Anniversary Concert

Storey Hall, RMIT, Melbourne, Australia

7th March 1987

Sourced from recent re-broadcast of the concert on ABC TV Australia

Analogue broadcast -> PC -> Pinnacle Studio 8 -> DVD

PAL, 4:3, 5089kbps, LPCM Audio

This is a nugget of pure gold that has suddenly surfaced without warning.
You may have

seen some of it before, but according to the broadcaster this is the first
time the entire

show has been aired.

The show fits into the space between the 1986 Blackfella/Whitefella tour of
the Australian

outback, and the recording of the album it inspired, Diesel and Dust.

This is one of the last shows played with Peter Gifford in the band - he
recorded the 

Diesel and Dust album, but retired before the tour which followed.

We get three songs from the Warumpi Band set, two of which are from their
second album Go 

Bush! which was released soon after this show.

In the Oils set we get some real gems, including Blossom And Blood from
Species Deceases, 

and a very rare performance of Who Can Stand In The Way from Red Sails In
The Sunset.

There are also a couple of songs that would be part of Diesel And Dust -
Bullroarer and 

Dreamworld. Dreamworld in particular is a real gem, with completely
different verse

lyrics to the final version. Elvis Costello's What's So Funny About Peace,
Love And 

Understanding? also gets a run. This was played quite regularly over the
next few years,

but this is quite possibly the very first time the Oils played it live.
