| Comment | 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. |
