Thanks to Jill for my disc and Chris for starting the weed.  I would like to
offer 5 spots, however, since us digest readers have a hard time getting in
on these weeds, I would like to offer these 5 spots to fellow "Digest"
readers who can reweed.  Please respond with the digest headers and/or
subject line in your email.  If I don't get 5 requests from digest readers I
will fill the remaining spots to "regular" groups readers.  I will email the
winners personally and post to the list once the spots are gone.

Brian

Disc details:

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.
