He's had it much longer than that as I tried trades with him dating back to the early 90s. He only ever wanted to trade for items from 85 and before too which made it extra difficult.

Maybe something he pieced together?  I did a trade 9 years ago with him for the demos and a couple early shows, and one of the things I sent him was:

Capitol Theatre, Sydney, Australia, 27Nov82 (CD1, CD2 Tracks 1-9),  Hollywood Palladium, USA, 1985 (CD2 Tracks 10-15) - 2CDR

Tracklist - CD1: Outside World; Only The Strong; Brave Faces; No Reaction; US Forces; Cold Cold Change; Written In The Heart; Short Memory; Knife’s Edge; Power And The Passion; Somebody’s Trying To Tell Me Something; Armistice Day; No Time For Games

Tracklist - CD2: Quinella Holiday; Loves On Sale; Lucky Country; Back On The Borderline; Don’t Wanna Be The One; Burnie; Run By Night; Used And Abused; Powderworks; US Forces; Back On The Borderline; Short Memory; Read About It; Don’t Wanna Be The One; Power And The Passion

Can’t think why he would have wanted the show from me if he already had the one listed on his site.  I guess maybe in the many intervening years he may have picked up a different, more complete version of the show though.

Cheers,

Pete

PS – Also interesting that back when I traded, these shows were on his “For Your Eyes Only” list, and now they’re on his regular page.

?

Yes, now if this person actually SHARED it, it would be great, but he hasn't traded it out in the past after many, many attempts.

There is a treasure of early live Oils at this site:

Including a double CD of the Capitol gig including Wedding Cake Island.

Sweet Georgia Brown was from the Entertainment Centre, not the Capitol Theatre.

The full Capitol setlist is apparently:

1. Outside World

2. Only The Strong

3. Place Without A Postcard

4. No Reaction

5. U.S. Forces

6. Written In The Heart

7. Bus To Bondi

8. Short Memory

9. Knifes Edge

10. Power & The Passion

11. Cold Cold Change

12. Somebody's Trying to Tell Me Something

13. Armistice Day

14. No Time For Games

15. Quinella Holiday

16. Lucky Country

17. Back On The Borderline

18. I Don't Wanna Be The One

19. Burnie

20. Run By Night

21. Stand In Line

22. Wedding Cake Island

23. Is It Now?

24. Powderworks

25. Used & Abused

I have all these tracks from various places, apart from Wedding Cake Island.

The FTP you refer to is possibly the one I used to run, but you're right, it's been out of action for several years now.

The best place for finding some live Oils these days is www.dimeadozen.org.  You won't find the Capitol Theatre stuff on there, however, as they have a very strict policy of not allowing anything that has been commercially released in any form.

Hi everyone. Long time Powderworker very rare contributor.

After many years of neglect I have finally found the time to sort through/develop my (currently very small) live Oils collection.

Anyway it turns out that my copy of the Oils live on MTV has a faulty Drums of Heaven. I was wondering if anyone might be able to supply me with a replacement copy or point me to where I might be able to download one?

I am also trying to put together the definitive Capitol Theatre concert and although I am currently short a number of songs but one that I am not sure about is Sweet Georgia Brown. Was this played at the Capitol or was it at the Sydney Entertainment Theatre a year later? If it was from the Capitol gig and someone could provide a copy I would be greatly appreciative.

There used to be an ftp site where a lot of very rare Oils was readily available but it doesn't seem to be working now a days.

Cheers

James
